I plan to spend part of my New Year’s Day watching a movie that I received as a Christmas present: “Mr. Holland’s Opus.”

As anyone in my immediate family will tell you, this is the movie that makes me cry every time, without fail. I’ve watched it often, and always lose it at one or more places within the movie.

Recently I took my family to watch the movie, “The Blind Side.” This is the movie starring Sandra Bullock as the woman who takes in a homeless black teenager. That teenager is now a professional football player.

The Blind Side also is the movie that seems destined to join Mr. Holland’s Opus as a movie that is guaranteed to start my waterworks flowing.

I’ve already added it to next year’s Christmas wish-list.
