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

    Boys On the Side. I lost my oldest daughter to AIDS and Mary Louise Parker's character looked so much like her during her last days. She was 34 and left a 4 & 7 year old without a mother.

    I just watched The Pursuit of Happyness for the 1st time (thanks to this thread). Very good.

    Mr. Smith Goes to Washington gets me every time.

    lol I will always cry during The Lion King....and The Vow.

    Oh and 50/50 when the guy is about to go in for surgery and he's talking to his mom...obviously terrified he's going to die. I have seen that movie like 20 times, and every time I shed a tear.

    Mysterious Skin. I knew what it was about before I even watched it, but by the end of the film I was curled under my comforter with drying tear tracks down my face. That movie left me feeling depressed for a couple days

    Just recently, Les Miserables.

    Some time ago.. Big Daddy, the Adam Sandler movie. Being pregnant at the time may have had something to do with it though. :laugh:

    @TheRoadDog, I am sorry for your loss. I saw a movie called "It's my Party" with Margaret Cho and Eric Roberts many years ago. It is about someone who wants to commit suicide before the end stages of A.I.D.S. begins. A friend of mine died not long after of A.I.D.S.

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

    Oh my god yes. That one so well done though, it was utterly paralyzing.

    For me, I'd say "Earthlings". I had to close my eyes through parts, but I tried to watch the whole thing without doing so. Ugh. So sad, and eye-opening at the same time.

    (Edited to fix typo)

    Hachi: A Dog's Tale, never cried so much while and after watching a movie, maybe cause it is based on a true story.

    Not a film, but the finale of Six Feet Under was the only media that has ever made me cry. It's the best ending to anything, ever.

    I cry while watching lots of things, but the second time I watched this series I started crying before the final episode had even started. Best finale ever.
