Okay, this one DEFINITELY needs some explanation. When I went to go (shamefully) see this in theaters with my high school girlfriend, it was the use and variations of the song Iridescent that got me going. It was our song and she was my first love so...I don't know, it just hit me. Pretty stupid that it had to be in this, but at least it was for good reason.

...it's Les Miserables. And the fact that I went with my former cast/crew members from my high school's production of it just reinforces that. So I'm just going to list off the moments.

1) I Dreamed A Dream (No escaping this one)
2) Fantine's Death
3) Bring Him Home (For VERY personal reasons; what made my high school's production of it so great to me)
4) The Final Song (Both in the scope of the story and memories of our production)

Movie That Don't Make Me Cry

People who added this item 4512 Average listal rating (3071 ratings) 6.7 IMDB Rating 7.2
I Am Legend (2007)
It's a really depressing movie, and I do feel the impact (no, not souly for the reason that the doggie dies XP), but it just doesn't hit me the way some movies do.

How I Feel Instead: Depressed
DevotedIdeal's rating:
People who added this item 4803 Average listal rating (3336 ratings) 8 IMDB Rating 8.2
Up (2009)
Am I the only one who didn't find the first scene to be the saddest thing ever? I mean, yeah it had its sad moments, but you're showing a whole life in a matter of minutes. I didn't think if gave enough time for the characters or the emotion to marinate, and for that I honestly find this moment overrated.

How I Feel Instead: Sympathetic
DevotedIdeal's rating:
People who added this item 9373 Average listal rating (6809 ratings) 7.1 IMDB Rating 7.9
Refer to my list of movies I hate that everyone likes (still in progress) and you'll get the idea.

How I Feel Instead: This is f#%king stupid

Movies That I Wish Would've Made Me Cry

This is horrible for me to say, but maybe this will evoke that emotion from me now that Michael Clarke Duncan has sadly passed away. R.I.P. big guy :'(

How I'm Feeling: Still Pretty Sad
DevotedIdeal's rating:
People who added this item 5898 Average listal rating (3735 ratings) 8.4 IMDB Rating 9
I almost feel heartless for not crying at this. Maybe it was because I was tired when I watched this, but I'll give it another go sometime and see what happens.

How I'm Feeling: Am I going to Hell for not crying at this?
