Just watched it with the wife, and i'll be dog gone if it don't bring a tear to my eye every time at the end............. :(

 

 

Ed S.....I know...Titanic gets me too..every time.

 

Here are the two songs that lately have me bleary-eyed....especially since I go look at a 1952 Vincent (across the street from my office) every week for 11 years, trying to get the wealthy collector/Gym owner to sell it to me

be sure to listen to richards guitar pickin mid-song

ARTIST: Richard Thompson

TITLE: 1952 Vincent Black Lightning

 

 

Said Red Molly to James that's a fine motorbike

A girl could feel special on any such like

Said James to Red Molly, well my hat's off to you

It's a Vincent Black Lightning, 1952

And I've seen you at the corners and cafes it seems

Red hair and black leather, my favorite color scheme

And he pulled her on behind

And down to Box Hill they did ride

 

Said James to Red Molly, here's a ring for your right hand

But I'll tell you in earnest I'm a dangerous man

I've fought with the law since I was seventeen

I robbed many a man to get my Vincent machine

Now I'm 21 years, I might make 22

And I don't mind dying, but for the love of you

And if fate should break my stride

Then I'll give you my Vincent to ride

 

Come down, come down, Red Molly, called Sergeant McRae

For they've taken young James Adie for armed robbery

Shotgun blast hit his chest, left nothing inside

Oh, come down, Red Molly to his dying bedside

When she came to the hospital, there wasn't much left

He was running out of road, he was running out of breath

But he smiled to see her cry

And said I'll give you my Vincent to ride

 

Says James, in my opinion, there's nothing in this world

Beats a 52 Vincent and a red headed girl

Now Nortons and Indians and Greeveses won't do

They don't have a soul like a Vincent 52

He reached for her hand and he slipped her the keys

He said I've got no further use for these

I see angels on Ariels in leather and chrome

Swooping down from heaven to carry me home

And he gave her one last kiss and died

And he gave her his Vincent to ride

 

and of course. Elvis

Even more off topic. When I saw Saving Private Ryan, I cried like a baby at the end. Maybe it's because I'm in the military, but for some reason that movie really moved me.

 

 

+1 +1+1 on that...I saw Saving Private Ryan the summer my close friend took his elderly father back to Normandy, where his dad had landed & fought on D Day.

To this day the only movie in my entire life that actually get me to stop eating popcorn. The opening scene at Normandy was juts well............never been in the military but that scene I imagine is the closest to reality.

He comes over on the weekend to see our dog....and he calls him old yeller :) He always has the VCR tape of old yeller in his hand :) I think he thinks if he comes over with that tape ...old yeller lives on lol.

remember the movie "Stripes" with Bill Murray? he says "who cried when ol yella got shot?...Nobody cried when ol yella got shot? ~raises his hand~ "i cried my eyes out" ...then everyone else raises thier hands :lol:

 

try to mention some that wasnt posted

 

"Where the red fern grows" is another tear jerker

 

"Turner and Hooch" when Hooch gets shot and dies.

 

"The Green Mile"

 

"300" ....yes this movie too...the ending is tear jerker

 

and for u sci fi fans, "Wrath of Khan" the movie where Spock dies.

 

 

oops i messed up the stripes quote...its "who cried" not "who died"

reading this....made me cry! ;)

 

the beginning of Saving Private Ryan, (only saw it once).....made me cry and cry.

It was so real, so horrible, I had to pause it to collect myslef.

I cant help but think about my Grandfather landing there with his company from the 2nd Infantry Divison, only to go through Belgium, fight in the Battle of the Bulge and be one of the first units to liberate Auschwitz.

i watched a documentary where they interviewed one WW2 D-day veteran and he was the only one that made it out of his landing craft onto the beach alive...every single one in the craft was cut down before they even set foot on the sand. it was like shooting fish in a barrel for those Germans.

he literally had to crawl 100 yards to find cover. he crawled from one dead body to another because there was a sniper picking off other soldiers coming off other beach crafts.

That's so cool. He's made a connection and honestly that's very cool for him. Sad to see but still it must make his day.

As a veteran I would recommend the old 1932 "All Quiet on the Western Front" lest we forget that "those Germans" were mostly just regular guys like us. It's too often the politicians and generals that call and wage war that the common man is left to fight often not even sure why. But it's kill or be killed. Kill to survive and live to fight another day. As Patton said, the goal of war is not to die for your country but make the other poor bastard die for his.
