The novella by Richard Matheson is a fantastic read!

Forrest gump when he's talking to jennys tombstone.

Seconded. Men can also sell it to their lady friends as a romantic comedy (which it technically is) and stay for the time travel and father-son relationship stuff. Just a great movie overall.

I was really surprised on how good it was and how little buzz it got.

In the same genre The Time Traveler's Wife is also very good.

Not a movie but a TV mini series, The Ascent of Man, written and narrated by Jacob Bronowski. It was riveting until I got to the part about all of his fellow Jews who were murdered by the Nazis and then it got both riveting and extremely sad, especially the part where he is just outside a concentration camp in Poland and he reaches down scooping up a handful of soil with his hand and declares that this is the remains of thousands of dead Jews. I can't recall how this related to the ascent of man because I saw it about 45 years ago. Good thing I was alone because no one likes to see a man cry and men don't like others to see them cry.
It appears that there were at least 11 episodes to this series and I am linking episode 1 to this post. The other episodes should be easy to find.

 

[3RA1N1AC]

The Iron Giant

 

[Lanny]

The Party - Peter Sellers

Laughed 'till you cried?

 

[PDXFonz]

Interstellar. That movie was like taking the red pill.

 

[jlprk]

Love is a Many-Splendored Thing. Your generation wouldn't understand it. I feel sad thinking about it right now. Life sucks.

 

[BlazerWookee]

That was one of grandpa's favorite movies. I enjoyed a lot of those classics from that era.

Most recent cry? When Lady Gaga got to go on stage by surprise in A Star is Born.

Gone With the Wind was made in 1939, but not shown on TV until 1976, as I remember people reacting to it then. Until then it was shown only in fancy movie theaters, and only periodically. So in about 1968 I traveled over an hour on the freeway to see it in Hollywood.

Toward the end, Scarlett is a ruin of what she had been before the war. Women in the big audience were sniffing, and I almost was. They identified with her as a woman and I didn't, but it was getting to me with moist eyes, too.

This doesn't come across on TV nowadays at all. Ads, editing, distractions, small screen...the movie seems like an ordinary adventure story on TV.

But it was nothing like Love is a Many-Splendored Thing. THAT is stressfully sad, even on TV.

My aunt was the baby sitter for Margaret Mitchell. She invited my aunt and one guest, my uncle, to attend opening night in Atlanta and to the party afterwards with Clark Gable, Vivien Leigh and the rest of the cast.
