I have heard so much about this movie i have to track it down.
I hope you haven't heard so much it will spoil the surprise. It's not what you expect and what you expect at the same time! |

What Dreams May Come is one of the best examples of SCHMALTZ I've ever seen.
Old Yeller is the saddest movie ever. It gets that title by default because it's the only movie most guys will admit made them cry.
It's hard to imagine Halloween and Night of the Living Dead being truly terrifying, but if you put Halloween in the context of having invented every slasher movie cliche in the books, that changes everything. And Night of the Living Dead? They practically invented the MPAA rating system because of it. |

Jackson's first three movies are among the funniest movies ever.
If you see Braindead, make sure it's not one of the destroyed versions. Commonly versions have been cut 20% or so. The "Runtime" and "Certification" sections on IMDb make interesting reading, it's clear which countries have no sense of humour....  The FAQ make funny reading too. |

Scariest (when I first saw it): The Exorcist
Most intriguing (can't think of another way to describe it): Fargo
Most boring: The English Patient (sorry, but I had to force myself to watch it to the end )
Funniest (on repeat viewings): Hercules Returns
Best thriller: The Lady Vanishes
Most thought-provoking: Easy Rider (sad too)
Most compelling: The Good, The Bad and the Ugly
Most inspiring: Lords of Dogtown
The saddest made for television movie is The Leaving of Liverpool. I can't remember a screen film that made me feel so sad for such a long time after watching it. |

Boo. I like What Dreams May Come. I know there is a lot of plucking of the heart strings there, but it works for me. The faucet is going throughout.
Now, Old Yeller. I haven't seen it. Can't bring myself to watch, truth be told, since I know it has that sad, sad, sad ending. I'll just take your word for it on that one. You can only imagine what a blubbering mess I'd be with Yeller, if WDMC affects me like it does.
EM :)
