Random Meaningless Top 10 List: Volume 4
Better late than never, that's what I always say. Especially when I'm running late on things. Anyways, it's been an interesting second week of management, nothing unusual to report. They have me learning to drive the tractor. Not a farmer tractor of course, a tractor-trailer tractor. And, having never driven a standard automobile before, it was an interesting 15 minutes. I actually was able to get it up to 4th gear before I started grinding the clutch, and at one point I shifted so....let's say 'harshly', that I tore one of the side mirrors off. Didn't hit anything though, so that's a plus.
Anyways, this week's Top 10 List was inspired by a recent thread on FARK.com. Call me a pussy if you want, but I guaran-damn-tee you any of you have cried at at least one movie in your life. And, more than likely, it's one off my list.
10. Bambi - You know which part; the part everyone cries at.
9. Independence Day - "We will not vanish without a fight!" I know how retarded this looks, but trust me. Every time that damn speech comes up, I get all teary-eyed. Damn Bill Pullman.
8. Requiem For a Dream - The last 15 or so minutes. Still the most depressing movie I've ever watched.
7. Mr. Smith Goes To Washington - Towards the end of his filibuster. This movie single-handedly re-established my faith in America.
6. A.I. - the Blue Fairy. It's EXACTLY like the 'Jurassic Bark' episode of Futurama, the saddest episode of any television show ever. Oh, if only the movie had stopped there...
5. Chasing Amy - "I love you, and not in a friendly way..." Yeah, I know it's Ben Affleck. But I've felt exactly like this more times than I can count.
4. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind - "make up a goodbye, at least. Let's pretend we had one." Such an awesome, powerful and emotional movie. There's probably 4 or 5 parts I
tear up at, but at this part it happens every damn time.
3. It's A Wonderful Life - "To my brother, the richest man in town!" gets me every time. Damn you, Frank Capra!
2. LOTR:ROTK - Frodo hugs Sam and boards the ship...I just can't help myself. The saddest happy ending in all of film.
1. Field Of Dreams - "You wanna have a catch?" Fuck, my eyes are getting wet just thinking about it.
