Top 10 Tear Jerkers

Recently watching the 6th season of ER, I was fairly saddened when one of the character was brutally attacked and died. This brought about a long conversation in regards to films that tugged at the tears.

In no particular order

1) UP
-Took only a 30 second clip to get the water works going.

2) Toy Story 3
-learning to let go

3) Schindler's List
-He's done all he can

4) Ghost
-That final scene,

5) Old Yeller
-It had to be done, but it doesn't make it any easier to watch

6) Seven Pounds
- giving someone the chance to live

 7) Million Dollar Baby 
-Right and wrong sometimes is a field of gray; that scene hit hard.

8) Lion King
-That scene...you know the one...I can't even get into it without snifflying

9) The Green Mile
-don't judge the book by its cover

10) Dead Poets Society
-Oh Captain, My Captain

Big Nothing (2006)

7/10
Starring Simon Pegg, David Schwimmer and Alice Eve

A frustrated, unemployed teacher joining forces with a scammer and his girlfriend in a blackmailing scheme (courtesy of IMDB)

Big Nothing is funny, full of plot twists and very entertaining. The film has just the right amount of dark humor balanced with the familiar techniques for a crime/blackmail movie.

Casting is great, Schwimmer and Pegg does a wonderful performance in the lead with a great support from Eve.

The overall plot twist is predictable, HOWEVER this film has so many small twists that it'll entertain you from beginning to end.

The cinematography and editing is fantastic in Big Nothing. There is never a dull shot, or a boring moment. I would watch this film again just for the cinematography.
