Why do some films do this to me,
They fill me with emotion
And tears stream from my eyes.
Some I cannot watch again
As the tears flood from the start
As know what is coming.
But there are some I keep watching
As they seem so special,
And one in particular means so much.
I did not watch it at first,
It came out so long ago,
But it was only a few years ago
That I watched it
And was moved by its glory.
So now ‘Cinema Paradiso” is with me,
It has found a little corner in my heart
Where I plan to keep it forever.

Dear Andy I remember when Cinema Paradiso was released in the late 80"s, and I never saw it then. But watching the video and hearing that haunting violin I know that I have to see it now. I found it's available at my local library , and plan to have a wonderful cinematic evening. I know what you mean about special movies. My favorite is Going My Way with Bing Crosby and Barry Fitzgerald. I know the ending by heart, and I also know I'll be crying, but I love feeling the emotion of that tender moment. Thank you dear friend for this oh, so special poem.
Thank you Bella. The one that I always struggle with is Carousel. They sing "You Never Walk Alone ' when Billy dies and that is when I start and at the end when they sing it again I am in pieces.
