It has a 41% on http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/armageddon/ There are some scathing reviews and I agree with them. http://splicedwire.com/98reviews/armageddon.html I was 28 when I first saw it and you were like what 14? That might explain it. Disney Robin Hood on the other hand is a great movie. It was also my first lunch box.
True. I was like 13. I haven't watched it since. Sometimes you like a movie when you're young and foolish, then you watch it again in your adulthood and realize it blew goat balls.
Okay like someone else said, I cry at more movies than I don't cry at. Here's the list of ones that stick out in my mind... Bella - I completely recommend seeing this one if you haven't Spoiler At the end when we see that he has adopted Bella and her mom comes to meet her for the first time Steel Magnolias Spoiler Pretty much from the time that Shelby is unconscious to the end with the bunny on the motorcycle Cocoon - The ending City of Angels Spoiler When she dies Message in a Bottle - The ending A Walk to Remember Spoiler I cried from the time he finds out she's sick until the end when he's talking with her father. And when Shane West's character is bawling on his father's front steps... I was bawling right with him! Light it Up Spoiler When Ziggy gets shot Gridiron Gang Spoiler Pretty much through most of the movie, but especially after the game where the shooting happens Field of Dreams - Yall already said the part that gets to me.. the dad scene... it starts when we find out Archie can't go back after he saves the daughter from choking. In fact a lot of sports movies... Hoosier, Rudy, Coach Carter, etc! Okay that's enough, I'm getting sad thinking of all this stuff!
I forgot about these 2 that had me crying in front of my good best girl friend at the old Cineplex on West Gray. I will NEVER forget it: For all those of you believe in Judaism and for even those who are not, I was FREAKIN' CRYING MY *SS off and up until this day, I cry even just thinking about that *****. This one here no one has ever mentioned, made me cry: moes, i believe your posts with MRMEOWGI can spark a "What have been the worst movies you've ever seen" thread. You've mentioned a few, but I will throw in ROBOCOP 2 and 3 and Darkman. I am saying this because I thought that, in Schindler's List, Oskar's character's last speech at the end really sucked. I cried with the very very last scene of the long line.
Some that I forgot... Munich (when Avner calls home and hears his daughter for the first time) Love Actually (when that guy comes to Keira Knightley's front door with the poster boards) A Time To Kill (McConaughey's closing argument) Platoon (several times) Garden State (several times) Life As A House (pretty much the last 1/3 of the movie) And I wasn't going to say it because it's been said so much, but The Land Before Time is one of the saddest movies I've ever seen, but it's been a looooong time so I'm not sure if the effect would be the same today.
I love Garden State. I didn't cry but I wanted him to go back for her so bad that I felt like a b**** anyway
Forgot about Castaway Spoiler when Tom Hanks has to leave his wife with her new family, especially when she runs back to the car in the rain. I can't imagine having to just walk away from the love of my life like that. Agree that Armageddon was just HORRIBLE. Every "summer blockbuster" cliche in the book. I couldn't even sit through it.
Yeah you can add Schindler's List to mine too, from the red coat girl until the end... and the movie The Right Stuff. while we are talking Holocaust/War movies... you can add The Diary of Anne Frank, Saving Private Ryan, The Patriot, Memphis Belle, & Top Gun (when goose died)

Beyond the Gates It's another movie about the Genocide in Rwanda (based on a true story). Spoiler When the father begs the departing soldiers to at least shoot the children so they didn't have to face the machettes
Some I forgot include: Dead Poets Society (mainly when Ethan Hawke goes running out in the snow in the aftermath of Neil's death) Green Mile AI E.T. (even thought it has been a LOOOOOOONG time since I have watched it) Lilo and Stitch (believe it or not! )
Way too many to list (I cry at freaking Scrubs for chrissakes), but let me name some that pop out at me as I'm typing. Rocky IV - I was like eight when this movie came out and I cried when Apollo died. Love, Actually - The first time I've ever cried in the first minute or so of the movie. The monologue from Hugh Grant about people calling their loved ones from the towers or the planes killed me.
It's a bunch of Generation Ys talking about their childhood cartoons, not the movie (which also sucked).
that would be Generation Xers mister. Transformers, The Movie (cartoon), shytes all over Micheal Bay's craptactular version.
Really? I absolutely loved that movie and didn't mind what happened at the end except for: Spoiler Ben Wade killing all his men. They were just trying to save him.
