Some of the "must watch" movies are clearly ones that warrant tears at the end...Philadelphia comes to mind as one that always makes me cry. Mommie Dearest on the other hand, doesn't.

But would someone please explain why the end of A League of Their Own makes me weep?

(I think I'm going to go surf back and forth between Field of Dreams and game 1 of the World Series, even if, as my mother put it the other day "it doesn't matter, the important games have already been played. It doesn't matter who won the world series, the league championships were more important."

A League of Their Own is one that makes me cry and "shouldn't," too. Another is "The Trouble With Angels."

"The Trouble with Angels" is on my all time favorite movies list...and I know so few of my contemporaries who are familiar with it. Rosalind Russel and Hayley Mills and a convent. I need to get it on DVD one of these days. And it makes me cry every time, even though I know how it ends.

I'm surprised you mentioned it...it's not a movie I run accross many people who've seen it. Oddly enough, this is the second time in two days where it's come up-someone mentioned it at work over lunch yesterday and everyone looked at me like I was nuts for knowing it.

When it was on TV when I was a kid, we ate dinner in the family room.

I discovered it one winter, when I was under a blanket on the couch with a cold...I got sucked in during the scene where they're sewing, and had to watch the rest. And then find it again when I could see it from beginning to end. Now it's a "must watch when it's on"

I always cry at the end of ALOTO. It's nice to know we're all freaks together

Doesn't everyone cry at the end of A League of Their Own?

Apparently more people than I thought...I didn't realize it wasn't just me.

How was it yesterday? We had a little gloating among the baseball fans in the office.

(And of course, the amusing fact that six women were sitting around the table discussing baseball, and the two men were just confused.)

Hormones.

Isn't that the answer to every question about women?

You mean like dick is the answer to any question about guys?

I was being facetious, and here you go and inject truth into the discussion.

Hrmph. Men.

As long as you continue to be cute and tell me good stories, I'll let you be as facetious as you want.
