Charly (1968) Part 1/11

From the classic Daniel Keyes novel "Flowers for Algernon" comes this moving and unforgettable adaptation. Featuring an Academy Award winning performance(best actor) by Cliff Robertson and a "shrewd, talented" score (Variety) by Ravi Shankar, this timeless tearjerker is "definitely one to see". When a mentally retarded man named Charly (Robertson) undergoes experimental brain surgery, he is miraculously freed from the prison of his own mind. As his IQ soars to genius proportions, Charly's eyes are opened to a world he's never truly seen. But when the effects of his operation inexplicably begin to fade, Charly must find a way to halt his regression before his own mind destroys his life, his newfound romance(Claire Bloom) and the man he's become.

Hell, I'm a guy, and I cry at this movie and at the end of Schindler's List every time. I also laugh my ass off at movies like Animal House and There's Something About Mary, not to mention scream occasionally during Paranormal Activity. Don't be afraid of emotions, they're what make us human.
