"My Left Foot"


"No one expects much from Christy Brown (Daniel Day-Lewis), a boy with cerebral palsy born into a working-class Irish family. Though Christy is a spastic quadriplegic and essentially paralyzed, a miraculous event occurs when, at the age of 5, he demonstrates control of his left foot by using chalk to scrawl a word on the floor. With the help of his steely mother (Brenda Fricker) -- and no shortage of grit and determination -- Christy overcomes his infirmity to become a painter, poet and author."

Tear jerker that is also inspirational, I could not stop crying.

I feel the same as your niece about Steel Magnolias. Terms of Endearment she did nothing to bring on her fate, and the acting is so, so good.

I've watched this movie over a dozen times and it gets me every time! ??

But I wonder if many of these movies impact us because we are mothers? Stepmom did. I also cried with The Hours (when Julianne moore was driving away and her little boy was bawling and screaming mommy).

Oh, boy, The Hours really got me.

I was browsing on Youtube and clips from one of my favorite movies and one guaranteed to make me tear up came on: Mr. Holland's Opus.

So does It’s a Wonderful Life.

My husband and I cry so hard during Inside Out. It makes us reflect on our parenting and think about the future.
