I'v got an 87 year old widow in the flat above me, she was married to her husband for 65 and told me she misses him terribly he was the only man she had ever been with, I knock on her door most days to see if she needs anything or just have a chat with herBigOscar said:I'm not one to actually cry about a film, but Gran Torino always makes me a bit sad. Not just the ending, but just the whole thing of an old man wandering around his house all alone after his wife has died, it's incredibly sad to think about. Reminds me of my grandad, who'd known his wife since he was 5 years old, then he lived another 15 years after she died in her 80's. He never complained, but it must be just devestating to be all alone after spending that amount of time with a person.

Back on topic, Love Story had me a bit watery back in the 70s, but more recently Pierce Brosnans singing in Mama Mia made me weep
