    I haven't seen it but from what you;re saying I'm sure my wife will make me watch it at some point

    I'm more of a horror/alien war type movie guy.

    Not seen that particular movie, but I find myself getting emotional over stupid TV programs. As I've mentioned before, I'm sure it is the pred doing it.

    i'm a big sci-fi fan but i'm also a sucker for any movie with a dog or dogs in it.i think they should have a D.O.B. rating(dog owners beware) and an on screen warning "watching this movie could seriously affect your tear ducts"

    I decided a long time ago NOT to watch this movie because I KNOW I would cry and cry and cry. Then my husband would laugh and laugh and laugh at me!

    Default Sad Endings

    After bawling at the end of My Dog Skip, I promised myself to be alone the next time I was at a movie involving dogs or children and tragic or sad endings! I'm glad to know Marley fits the category so I will be prepared with lots of tissues. A Beautiful Life had such a bittersweet ending, I can make myself cry just thinking about it. Prednisone probably amplifies the emotion, but I guess the emotion is still there regardless. That's because of great storytelling!

    Yeah, it'd be the Pred giving you the amplified emotions. I love how it turns perectly well adjusted males into screaming Metrosexual's one minute and homicidal axe-weilding maniac's the second. I love that stuff!!

    Doug, you're right. My Dog Skip and A Beautiful Life are great movies. If you know the series Frasier, the dog they use at the end of My Dog Skip is the one that was Frasier's Dad's dog in the series. Just a bit of trivia for you.

    Life is Beautiful-- my all-time favorite movie. Gets me every time. Of course, I was a weepy thing even before all this.... I couldn't watch anything at all on the higher doses of pred--couldn't concentrate!!

    I did know he was the dog, so that made the ending the sadder, because he looked so old (because, of course, he was at that time, and he died in real life, which I may have known at the time, too).
