Watching Mickey die in Rocky 3 made me cry, in front of friends/family. Maybe 9 or so in 1983. I avoided any film I knew was sad - never seen Watership Down, Bambi, let alone any of the tearjerker stuff my mum loved Of recent years, Bruce Willis dying at the end of Armageddon was horrific, and dont start me on Avengers: Endgame when Tony Stark dies and they are all at his funeral. Too much dust in the cinema that day. Bar that, and wherever possible, I avoid a sad ending like the plague! Mindless violence, action and comedy. Its the future. Do not, I repeat do not watch The Champ with Jon Voight. I watched that as a kid in the 80s and I swear I think about how sad that made me feel every single day of my life. I'm getting a lump in my throat just thinking about it now 😥 😔 Oh I did, around the same time. Traumatising childhood, when Mrs R says I am emotionally backwards, I point these times out.

Trainspotting put me off taking heroin, carried on drinking heavily and hitting people with pint glasses though.

Striptease led me to reassess my feelings on the abilities of Principal Belding in shaping the hearts and minds of his students at Bayside High.

i once watched an adult art film and saw an act carried out called fish hooking
i decided next time mrs flea79 and i were to be intimate i would try it out, after all the lady in the film had seem to be driven to new levels of lust while this act was carried out!
needless to say mrs flea79 was not impressed and i slept on the sofa for a period of time!

I remember watching the film ‘Blow Up’ staring David Hemmings, and being very taken by Hemmings mod image. So naturally as a young lad, I bought myself a pair of white Levi’s 501, blue checked shirt, Clark’s desert boot and a thin lapel black jacket. I loved looking that way but every fucker thought I was a student 🤣

I did a film appreciation course where the teacher asked everyone to bring in a clip of a film that meant a lot to them. It was just after Pulp Fiction had come out which I thought was a landmark film for the time and plumped for that. Unfortunately the bloke up before me showed a clip from a French art film featuring the untimely death of the a young woman. At the end of the clip he explained to everyone that it meant so much because his girlfriend had recently died. He was in tears, the teacher was in tears and everyone in the class was sobbing apart from me who was sitting there mortified because I was about to show the clip where Christopher Walken explains to the young Butch how he had managed to save his father's watch from the Japanese by hiding it up his arse. Needless to say it didn't go down well but I maintain to this day that Pulp Fiction is a classic.
