far too many to list - i get quite emotionally invested in films and cry far too easily at both the happy and the sad bits.
Sometimes, if you stand on the bottom rail of a bridge and lean over to watch the river slipping slowly away beneath you, you will suddenly know everything there is to be known.

A lot of films have given me a lump in the throat and a few tears. I usually just cry these days, it's uncomfortable sitting there with a big lump in your throat

The movie Colors moved me in many directions..

The only film I can remember crying at was Spielgerg's AI: Artificial Intelligence.
It's long, and quite early on, when the 'mum' was taking the little robot boy to dump him in the woods I was heartbroken, & was inconsolable by the end.
That little boy in it brings out my maternal instinct, and I just want to look after him and make him happy.

Kyle Graham (Andrew Byrne) is scared. Not of monsters under the bed like any average six year old but of everything. Normal, everyday activities prove terrifying to him. And he can’t communicate his fears, or share them with friends, because he can’t use language and he has no friends. Kyle has autism, a condition it took his parents two desperate years to get diagnosed. So his day consists of endless traumas and tantrums… and unimaginable stress for his mother Nicola (Keeley Hawes).
Nicola knows that the one thing Kyle wants is to be left alone, safe and secure in his autistic world. But she also knows that if she grants her son this wish, he will have no future. Her fierce determination to break into Kyle’s world at any cost has placed an intolerable strain on her marriage. Her husband Rob (Ben Miles), although equally unbending in his love for his son, is frustrated by Nicola’s relentless challenging of Kyle. Not to mention the loss of the carefree life he and Nicola once had.
Rob tries everything to convince Nicola that Kyle should go to a boarding school for autistic children. But Nicola is adamant that he should remain part of society and be taught the skills to cope with the world around him. When a ‘no-strings attached’ respite is offered by family friend Rachel (Lorraine Pilkington), Rob is truly torn.
Nicola’s only respite is the unwavering support of her mother Pat (Sheila Hancock) and father Jim (Duncan Preston), who dote on Kyle and provide practical support when needed. Into this setting of seemingly insurmountable conflict comes Thomas, a golden retriever puppy, named after Kyle’s favourite character, Thomas The Tank Engine (thus adding to the double entendre-(After Thomas (the Tank) or after Thomas (the dog). Nicola is hopeful that Thomas can break into Kyle’s world where everyone else has failed.
The true measure of a man is not his intelligence or how high he rises in this freak establishment. The true measure of a man is this: how quickly he can respond to the needs of others and how much of himself he can give - Philip K. Dick.
