You are on the right track here. All of these are fabulous. The recent ins also, I liked the Angelina Jolie where she was trying to find her little boy. Wow, that was intense.

where are you finding these movies? they sound great.

The internet. I found "One Liter of Tears" on youtube. This is a Japanese Drama and there are many web sites dedicated to Asian dramas. They call them doramas and people rate them and have links to watch them. If you have a multi-region DVD player you can buy these movies on line at sites like i-Offer. If you want to watch some "uplifting" Christmas specials here are two; Silent Night, Lonely Night (1969) and "The Last Best Year" (1990) These are made for TV specials. Thank you all for responding.

Oh, I just love Where the Red Fern Grows! Every year I would read it aloud to my class, and every year I would get weepy. I would tell my kids that it takes a wonderful author to be able to get inside you and make you care that much about the characters that you can cry for them. It was always a special moment of trust between us. We need more books and movies with positive role models for kids and us!

I fully agree with you about the authors of these kinds of books. I can cry reading a book or movie/commercial. It's great to see movies of this kind as I'm not a fan of the shoot em up, car crash type! I am also a fan of foreign films and even enjoy reading the subtitled lines!

Sophie's Choice has to be the most emotional upsetting movie I've seen. Old Yeller is my cry my eyes out movie.

Oh my cry feast movies are , Beaches, Brian's Song , and the Bridges of Madison County! Just can't make it through them with out the need for a box of tissues. Even though I know how each will end .. they still get me!
As one mentioned Sophies Choice is so.... emotionally upsetting .. I just can't watch, after the first time , It stayed with me for days.
