One movie that made you cry I have a vivid memory of going to see Gandhi at Roseville Theatre when I was 12 years old and sobbing in horror during interval (back in the days when they still had an interval during a film – mind you, Roseville was old-fashioned, I doubt any other theatres were doing intervals) at what the British did to the Indian people. 3.
