The Great Lakes International Film Festival is now accepting entries for their 2008 festival and I hope that any filmmakers or screenwriters planning to enter stumble upon this article before spending their hard earned money on the submission fee. Trust me, we wish there had been an article like this last year when we were filling out our entrance form. The whole thing was a waste of money and a big headache to boot…and we were the screenplay competition winners.

You see, I think I'm addicted to lists.  Lists-making that is.  90% of the time, these lists are on a post-it, and have such important tasks on them as, "Call Mom.." or "Need quarters for laundry..." or "Don't forget to bury the body!".  So you can see that spread the gamut actually.

But the other day at my film internship, while bored, I came up with this list!

"10 Awesome Movie Monologues"

(OR "10 Awsome Movie Speeches" OR, 'Cool Scenes Where Someone Talks For A While And Says Cool Shit, But People May Converse With Him, So It's Not Really A Speech Or A Monologue But Hey, What Do You Want From Me?"

*You should definitely watch the short YouTube clips I embedded with each, so really get the full impact. 

I'm an sensitive guy. I wouldn't say emotional. Not much makes me cry.

Well, except movies.

Movies make me cry. Too often actually. I could tell you horror stories about a crowded audience. Silent theater. Silent but for the sound of some idiot panting and sucking snot up his nose while he sobs. And that idiot would be me. It's bad. Real bad. Some movies just destroy me. The combination of acting, the cinematography, and mostly the score, just hit me in such a way that I'm suddenly tight in my chest, goosebumpy, and crying like a sissy boy. A crying, goosebumpy, sissy boy.

So with that embarrassing introduction, I give you

10 Movie Moments That Make Me Cry:
(maybe in some random order of order?)
