For some reason, when it comes to movies, I am drawn to classic, depressing, tear jerkers. So I made a list of the 5 most depressing ones, you and the girls can blubber over. Get your girlfriends or chicks in the family together for a slumber party. Pull out your Pop-o-Pot. This cool ceramic pot makes homemade popcorn in the microwave! No guys allowed!


One of my favorite websites my husband got me hooked on, is Rotten Tomatoes. You can look up any movie, or actor and they will show you what millions of people rated it as. So with each movie I put the rating. 60% or above is "fresh" and 59% or below is "rotten".
Here they are in no particular order:
Synopsis: C.S. "Jack" Lewis, a respected Oxford professor of literature, lives a solitary existence as a middle-aged bachelor. His writings have won the admiration of Joy Gresham, an American poet recovering from a broken marriage. They correspond by mail for years, until Joy decides to take her son to England. Though their initial encounters are fettered by stiff upper class structures and proper etiquette, Joy gradually breaks through Lewis's reserve, and the two develop a closeness that blooms into a joy filled romance.
67% Fresh, but could be fresher.
Synopsis: In a quaint well-kept town in Louisiana, a local group of gossipy, giggly women, congregate at Truvvy's beaty salon. There they help each other through life's up's and down as only Southern women can.
89% I pick only the freshest!
Synopsis: The story centers around the volatile relationship between a mother and her daughter, spanning 30 years. Various aspects of their lives are examined, including the daughters struggle with cancer.
93% FRESH!
Synopsis: Brice, a poor Jewish girl from New York's Lower East side, rose to fame and won audience's hearts everywhere with her comic antics, and powerful singing. Unfortunately she had far less success in her personal life, and the film focuses on her doomed romance with her first husband, gambler Nicky Arnstein.
Rotten Tomatoes doesn't go this far back, but said "If not the definitive Hollywood film, then it's certainly at the top of the list".
I give it the freshest of them all, but then again
Im sure most of you could "frankly give a damn" what I think:)
Synopsis: Set against the Civil War and the Southern Reconstruction, is a tragic love quadrangle between the ever fiesty and beautiful Scarlett O' Hara, the gentlemanly Ashley Wilkes, the smug, rebellious, blockade running profiteer Rhett Butler and Ashley's genteel cousin Melanie. After marrying two men she doesn't love, Scarlett marries the handsome Rhett Butler, but still pines after Ashley. Rhett is hopeful he can convince Scarlett they are made for each other, before it's too late.
I don't know what else to say but, I love 'em!
