8 films to make you cry.

Need a cry? Watch these (in no particular order):

1. The Iron Giant.

2. Marley and Me.

3. Dear Zachary -- if you don't know what this movie is about, I suggest watching it without looking up any info (not even reading the description on the DVD case) to achieve maximum emotional affect.

4. The Kite Runner -- based on the best-selling book by Khaled Hosseini.

5. Brokeback Mountain -- a modern queer twist on the classic Romeo & Juliet archetype.

6. C.R.A.Z.Y -- another great gay flick; in French.

7. 3:10 to Yuma -- an intense, pacy, intelligent modern-Western.

8. Raise the Red Lantern -- some beautiful cinematography in this Chinese film.


I bet that at least one of the above flicks will get those eyeballs leaking, and depending on your emotional fortitude they may all cause some tears. They all did for me.
