Since you warned of spoilers, thank you, I didn't read the description but I gave it a glance over on IMDB and it sounds grim, good cast though. <br /><br />I didn't find Requiem sad as much as it pissed me off and made me angry though I felt deeply for Ellen Burstyn's character and she was totally brilliant, the others were pathetic jerks. <br /><br />Ha for your recap of Old Yeller! It reminded me of that Friends episode where Phoebe discovers her mother would always shut off the TV when the sad part of the film was near and say The End so she thought of Old Yeller as good family fun and then spent the rest of the episode watching sad movies and being depressed shutting off It's a Wonderful Life before the conclusion sure it was just another downer. This just made me think of it and regret not including Pride of the Yankees in my picks! Gary Cooper's final speech is a killer. <br /><br />Love the mention of Atonement! To me that was more what the theme was about, sad movies that you could emphasize and tear up with but somehow didn't leave you with a bitter feeling.joel65913https://www.blogger.com/profile/14526657073681774683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3990332416861666709.post-57805884029302317012015-08-13T09:44:15.424-05:002015-08-13T09:44:15.424-05:00I haven't seen any of these.

I really need to revisit that one (and perhaps skip that one bit).<br /><br />The Mist is an awesome selection. I saw that one in theater and I remember the few of us looking at each other like, <i>F--k. Uh...should we hug?</i>. It was great.<br /><br />I have never seen Old Yeller.
