James, I found that funny, too - animals, puppets. And Old Yeller? Remember from Stripes, when John Winger (Bill Murray) does that inspirational spiel: "Who saw "Old Yeller?" Who cried when Old Yeller got shot at the end? Nobody cried when Old Yeller got shot? (hands are reluctantly raised) I cried my eyes out. So we're all dog faces, we're all very, very different, but there is one thing that we all have in common: we were all stupid enough to enlist in the Army."

Very sad movies indeed -- sniffle --

Terms of Endearment has to be the saddest movie of all time, almost had to leave the movie theatre for lack of containment! It must run in the family for when I took my daughter to see The Notebook she wept for 10 minutes after the movie.

I have to agree on Edward Scissorhands. An interesting note that his character is thought to have been based on Der Strubblepeter - a German fairytale book we grew up with - quite interesting if you check it out.

I would like to add Ghost, Madam X, and The Christmas Tree.

It's amazing to realize that these scenes were created from that "blank page" you started your post out with, and along with the actors and producers created scenes so deeply moving. It also seemed that most of the scenes dealt with death, mostly of people, but sometimes of dreams.

My daughter has a bumper sticker on her car -- Choose to Feel -- and like you've spoken of many times, people want to feel. Now to channel these scenes we have in our heads to the keyboard!

I wonder if they'll do the 20 happiest scenes as well.

Thanks Scott!!! :)
