I remember an oldie that made me cry when I was in high school (It was an oldie then, even). I think that it was called Sentimental Journey. Anyway they kept playig that song. It may have been a Shirley Temple movie, about a little girl who is adopted and the adoptive mother gets sick and dies and she has to take care of the father who never wanted her.

This is just a thumbs up to a great movie about kids and animals...'My Dog Skip'...its all the more fabulous, because its a true story about a man and his remembrances of growing up in Yazhoo City Mississippi, and about his relationship with his dog, and what it meant to his coming of age....

Its a wonderful movie, Kevin Bacon plays the dad, and the kid from 'Malcolm in the Middle' TV series, plays the little boy...

There is a tear jerker part in the movie, when the dog gets hurt, and we dont know if he will live...and the very ending of the movie, is bittersweet, and makes me cry evey time I see it...

My husband walked in the room a few minutes ago and told me to put My Dog, Skip - I told him no because I never saw it and thought he was joking, guess not.

Anyway, Where the Red Fern Grows, is another dog movie. Really sad, too. The dog dies in the end.

"A.I."

I cried the whole time I watched it.

Oh, you mean movies that make me sad and cry.

Nevermind, I thought you meant movies that that were too painful to watch.

" NOW VOYAGER ", " DARK VICTORY ", any movie version ( PBS sells the tapes ) of " La Boheme " , " CAMILE ", " MADAME BOVARY " , and the silent " OUR DANCING DAUGHTERS ", with a beautiful, very young Joan Crawford. All are at least " three hanky " movies. Oldies, no animals, but goodies !

[Flashlight]

"The Trouble With Angels", with Hayley Mills and Rosalind Russell.

It starts as a comedy about two rebellious teen girls in a convent high-school, but slowly Mary begins to learn about...

Sorry, I have to stop my review;

I keep getting emotional just thinking about this movie. There are so many poignant scenes, and a great tearful, but not sad, ending.

Definitely get Lassie Come Home (1943) with Roddy McDowell and 10-yr-old Liz Taylor. Other Lassie classics available too. From review at amazon.com

"Lassie Come Home is a classic for all the usual reasons: its timeless, universal appeal, its first-of-its-kind status, and its exceptional cinematography, direction, and performances. What makes this 1943 charmer especially fun for grownups who haven't screened it since their own preteen, pet-obsessed days, though, is a couple of cute-as-a-button cast members. An adorably over-earnest Roddy McDowall stars as Joe, the mostly hapless lad whom Lassie refuses to part with despite his down-and-out family's decision to sell her, for a paltry 15 guineas, to a wealthy duke; and Elizabeth Taylor, already stunning at around age 10, surrenders a sweet if mawkish performance as Priscilla, the Duke's tenderhearted granddaughter, who lends a hand in Lassie's escape from her family's unkind kennel master and winks her way into winning the fearless pup a permanent place at her true master's side. Beyond that, it's no mystery why generations of dog-loving audiences have marveled at the precocious collie's career--Lassie is a great actor. She so convincingly digs impossible trenches, leaps towering fences, swims raging rivers, knocks out bad guys, and betrays the essence of brokenheartedness with her bedraggled coat and woebegone expressions that it's sometimes hard to shake the suspicion that she's really an incredibly limber person in a cute dog suit. All told, Lassie Come Home delivers a lot to love, not the least of which is the deeply dramatic score--quirky sounding to the modern ear--which returns audiences to simpler, irony-free times, as does the movie's message of loyalty at all costs.
