> What I simply cannot tolerate is *any* movie that has an emotionally "bad" ending. Even if the whole movie is sad, scary, ect., If there's a happy or at least uplifting end, I will watch it. I just feel extremely strongly that I have too many unpleasant emotions on a general basis to ever choose a form of escape that doesn't give me an emotional lift, as I head back into my own life!CarolAnnI like a good tearjerker now and then. I find the tears to be cleansing. I see how relatively small some of my own problems are. Terms of Endearment, Love Story, Stepmom, Titanic, One True Thing. For a good laugh I give **** to The Jerk(Steve Martin), Blazing Saddles, The Trouble With Mary, and Twins(Danny DeVito and Arnold Schwartzenegger--SP?).
Let's think for awhile, and then somone get a new thread going about bibliotherapy making use of novels and poetry.
