    Wonder what the calorie burn is for crying while watching a movie... all the furtive tear wiping and rapid eye blinking has to contribute somethign, doesn't it?

    Just in case it's significant I'll watch....My Girl, Far and Away and Sommersby over this weekend.

    The documentary Dear Zachary. It completely wrecked my life for like a month.

    Oh my god, same here. I picked it over another documentary that night because it seemed less depressing. Ha! (SO want to add my thought process about why it wouldn't be too bad but don't want to add a spoiler.)

    Never Let Me Go.

    Seriously. For a week after watching it I'd start awake when I was trying to sleep, thinking "Oh god. That movie was so depressing." It's one of the only films I have no interest in seeing again, specifically because it was too sad.

    Philadelphia Story came out about 1 month after my brother died of AIDS. Hit pretty close to home.

    I'm so sorry you lost your brother to that terrible disease. Philadelphia had me squalling. A truly touching movie.

    Dancer in the Dark.

    Any Aronofsky film, some mentioned above. They are great films, but I can only stomach seeing each one ONCE!

    Titanic
    Katyn (Polish film)
    Life is Beautiful
    Les Miserables
    Schindler's List
    Christmas Shoes

    There are some that make me cry the first time I watch it, and then if I watch it again, I might get slightly teary eyed, but that's it.
    With Katyn, I cried a little, but was mostly staring at the silent credits in shock.

    ETA:
    7 Pounds
    Hachi - I was rather surprised by that one. But it makes me cry a little every time I see it.

    A Little Princess. I watched the movie maybe once a few years after it came out, never again. Bawled like a baby.
