  2. Brian's Song is SO sad. And I can't even watch Saving Private Ryan

  3. On that site was this review of Memento. Serious good writing, but only for those who have seen the movie.

  4. The Notebook.

    If that one doesn't bring a tear to the corner of your eye, then you're not human!

    Cheers.

  5. I would add "Remains of the Day," which represents both the death of an era in English life as well as the death of whatever chance there was for happiness between Emma Thompson and Anthony Hopkins (well, their characters at any rate). I also echo Nathan with his suggestion of adding "The Notebook;" that's a real tear-jerker. Bilbo's also got several good ones, including "Simon Birch."

  6. "To End All Wars" for sure! It's a true story to boot. A Scottish Regiment gets captured at the fall of Manilla and the Phillipines and lives out the war in Japanese POW camp. It's an incredible story that helps illustrate the sacrifice of Christ.
