Hey Devo: I can't stand Julia Roberts!!!!!! She is the same character in every movie she's in I can't understand what makes her so likable? The only movie I can think of that she was a little different was that Mary Riley Movie. Surprise the movie did horrible. Mystic Pizza is one of my fav movies. But, not because of her. I was so exicted to hear someone say something bad about her
Did anyone watch Devo on Square Pegs last week?

i agree that Julia Robert's acting is a little one dimensional. Even so, I would have to say That the seen in Steel Magnolias at the funeral was really heart-breaking. Great perfomance by Sally Field in my opinion. Posts: 754 | From: Orange County CA | Registered: Jul 2003 | Site Updates: 0

I have to agree with the movie Say Anything, but not when he's in the phone booth but after when he is standing in the rain outside her window playing there song on the boom box, I don't about you fellas but that took it home for me, I can remember when opps getting personal now. Aye he was head over heals in Love. Man I sound like such a girl. How about those Raiders Dud? Posts: 59 | From: FontanaCA | Registered: Jul 2003 | Site Updates: 0

Ooops, I almost forgot how about the movie "Can't buy me love" She totaly breaks his heart in that movie, also the movie with Corrie Hans "Lucas" Now that was a sad he lied about where he lived just be like eveyone else, yet happy ending movie.

Now regardless of Julia Robert's & Richard Gere's horrible acting...I stand firmly by my tear-jerking moment in Pretty Woman...
Everyone will not always agree, but hey that's what makes it more fun.

Devolution, definitely something cosmically weird going on, I also have to agree with your comments on Julia Roberts and Richard Gere -I can't stand them!

Although (and this one is asking for comment) I kinda liked My Best Friend's Wedding, but only 'cos Rupert Everett was in it.

That's what I love about Devolution... he's just so modest.lol. Richard Gere bugs the hell outta me too!!! Has anyone seen a movie he was in called Frist Knight... circa 1996? This movie almost made me puke! Yuck! It was a complete and utter disaster...difficult not to fall asleep in in the theater.

Tearjerkers are great! Here's mine, but some might slide again back to the 70's.
1.) The Other Side of the Mountain-you can't get any more sad then being paralyzed, from the neck down,after being headed to the Olympics as a down hill skier. Then falling in love with a great guy-only to have him die at the end in a plane crash-the end has to be one of the saddest scenes I have ever seen. Plus it is a true story.
2.) Kramer Vs. Kramer- I bawl every time I see it, the end when she gives him back to his Dad, after she wins custody.
3.) Terms of Endearment- when the mother dies, it's heartbreaking
4.) Liar's Moon-with Matt Dillon- this is about the best movie I have ever seen..the end is so sad, but I can't say much about it, but watch it, it is the best, and very suspenseful, and just a great movie!

Now don’t laugh, but the saddest movie I ever saw was ‘Tarka the Otter’ . Based on the classic Henry Williamson book and set in the beautiful English countryside, Tarka the Otter is the captivating story following the life of an otter. From Tarka`s birth to his climactic confrontation with Deadlock the otter hound, Tarka`s life is an unforgettable experience. Set in the 1920`s when otter hunting was still legal in England, Tarka must use his cunning and natural instincts to outwit not only man, but man’s best friend.... I know, it’s actually from 1979, but I saw it for the first time in the early 80’s. As a kid I cried my eyes out with this one.
Other movies on my tearjerker list are:
- ‘The Snowman’ from Raymond Briggs. 1982 ( short animation ) - ‘E.T.’ 1982

Also, Six Weeks, with Dudley Moore and Mary Tyler Moore,it is so sad. Her daughter has cancer and wants to work for Dudley Moore and helps get him elected into government. It is a total bummer.

"Casualties of War" with Michael J. Fox and Sean Penn. If you don't feel sorry for the girl in this film, then you have no heart. It really brings me down everytime I watch this movie.

Just here to defend Julie and Richard. "Notting Hill" is my fave Julie movie, and "Officer and A Gentleman" (which is 80's!) is my fave Richard movie.
And Led Zeppelin is cool! So is Devo (Satisfaction is my fave!) Posts: 90 | Registered: Jul 2003 | Site Updates: 0

In case you didnt know,LIARS MOON has two endings. In one a main charactor lives and in the other they dont. I think most of us have seen the "Dead" one. Yes,Terms Of Endearment is another weepie.

I did not know that, about Liar's Moon, I am so glad that the one lives though, I pretended they did anyway, cause it was just too sad.

Another movie is Sophie's Choice, when she has to choose which child to let the Nazi's take, and you know they are going to kill the one she picks, and they would kill them both if she didn't choose. I can't ever watch it again, and I can't watch anything about the Holocaust,because of it being real, and just unbelievable-that it occured not that long ago.
Another movie-which it might have come out in the 90's, but I am not sure,I think it was late 80's- is Gorillas in the Mist-I can not take it when they killed Digit, and then when they kill her. I am a huge animal rights person, and that whole movie was an excellent movie, but it was a true story, and I have a hard time with reality sometimes.

"Part Of Your World" from "The Little Mermaid"...
Yeah, I'm a guy, but this part gets to me every time. I can relate to feeling out of place and wanting to belong among normal people. Remember, I'm a 80s fanatic 20-year-old suffering from depression and a form of autism, so I can't necessarily fit in with people my age.
Sincerely,
John Kilduff...The Rock Steady Flamethrower

Ok, this one might seem a bit cheesy, but it just always stuck w/ me. The scene in Can't Buy Me Love when Ronald confronts his best friend about the Halloween prank or whatever it was, And his friend explodes on him n is like "you threw sh!t on my house...you threw sh!t on my house!" I cried, sad o so, i mean me and the scene. lol. Posts: 754 | From: Orange County CA | Registered: Jul 2003 | Site Updates: 0
