I still cry my eyes out at the end of Old Yeller, Bob. But then, at the end of "Titanic", when everyone was weeping, I thought the old bag was nuts for holding onto that jewel for so long and not cashing it in. Go figure.
OFF TOPIC: I just wanted to share this. Funny because I understand perfectly why she threw it into the sea. Speaking of Titanic. I was the last one to leave the theater and had to be helped out I was in such a state. I couldn't quit crying. I was crying for the people who lost their lives and the fact that all of them didn't have to die, because they didn't want to clutter the deck.
I also was crying for myself because I felt trapped like Rose. Again it was a time in my life when I was wanting to come out and I could identify with Rose because she thought there was no way to be who she wanted to be. I came out just a few months after watching this movie and I think it gave me the courage too! Isn't it amazing the profound affect ART can have on our lives??
ON TOPIC:
[spoiler]1. When in 1995 Julia told Barnabas to leave her and he said "NEVER WITHOUT YOU". I cry ever time because to me this is the first time I think Barnabas begans to admit (to himself) his feelings for Julia.He bascially said "I LOVE YOU" without the words.
2. When Julia is locked alone in the basement room in Parallel Time. I felt so sorry for her and I wondered (when watching for this first time) if this was Julia's swan song. So it made it all the more poignant. I still get a bit misty eyed when watching.
3. After Barnabas and Julia escape the PT band and they both lament on never being able to experience a life of love. The close up on Julia's eyes is heartbreaking. I bawl. Yes I am a very tender hearted man.
4. When Quentin finds out about his children and his boy that died. DAVID SELBY could have won a daytime Emmy for that if they were around then. Seeing that hard drinking woman chasing man show some humanity was gut wrenching.
5. Magda realizing she cursed her own.
6. Seeing Barnabas, Julia, Liz, and Roger for the last time on DARK SHADOWS is truly sad for me.
7. Julia realzing she has lead the police to Barnabas to have him staked. HEARTBREAKING. Grayson was amazing.
8. Mrs. Johnson in 1995. What a heartbreaking character and man did CLARICE deliver. She makes me cry and she deserved an Emmy as well.
9. Julia showing up to save Barney from being staked in Parallel Time. The scene between them is so sweet.
10. The scene where Willie basically tells Barnabas to admit he cares for Julia during 1968 when she is being tortured by Tom. It is indeed very poginant as Barney finally admits it.[/spoiler]
I could go on and on. I will stop for now.
As for the 1991 show:
[spoiler]1. Sarah's Death. I thought Ben Cross was amazing and so was Veronica Lauren.
2. The scream/cry Barnabas made when he realized what he had done to Carolyn to reverse his aging process. Very sad.
3. The scene in the jail between Countess Natalie and Victoria as she was telling Victoria they were taking Josette home too late. Joanna and Barbara Steele were both superb.
4. Barnabas crying in the Old House when Angelique tricks Naomi into going there to see him
5.The aftermath with Naomi losing her sanity.
6. Daphne's staking after she reverts to human and whispers Joe's name!!
7. Joshua discovering Barnbas was "alive" and the hug between the two men. Very poginant and I thought Stefan Giersach and Ben Cross were both amazing.[/spoiler]
I am spent and may add more later!!
