Re: Rant: Movies that push emotional triggers

It doesn't make me cry, but it is by far my favorite movie and imo one of the top 5 movies ever made. I've bought this movie 4 different times because they get scratched up. For three years in a row i watched it every night when going to bed and considered myself lucky if I could make it to the read over by Redford about how "every night he was left untutored and untouched...and there was no better place than the Montana of my youth."jim wrote:I also nominate A River Runs Through It, because my one fear in life is this:
Now nearly all those I loved and did not understand when I was young are dead, but I still reach out to them.
Of course, now I am too old to be much of a fisherman, and now of course I usually fish the big waters alone, although some friends think I shouldn't. Like many fly fishermen in western Montana where the summer days are almost Arctic in length, I often do not start fishing until the cool of the evening. Then in the Arctic half-light of the canyon, all existence fades to a being with my soul and memories and the sounds of the Big Blackfoot River and a four-count rhythm and the hope that a fish will rise.
That part, "now I am too old to be much of a fishermen" makes me cry like a baby every time.
