I can barely hear the music from this franchise without crying. The ending of this movie is probably why (that and the info from the appendices of the book). Tears of joy, sadness, anguish, memory of times past and knowledge that they are gone forever...yeah, lots of kinds of tears at once from this.

I will never stop crying over Beth's death, whether it be in the book or in movie form. The scene where Hannah sprinkles rose petals over Beth's dolls and holds one of them always gets me.

I have cried most with my Doctor, the eleventh. The Big Bang, Vincent and the Doctor, The Angels Take Manhatten, and of course The Name of the Doctor, have really gotten to me. There were some great moments with the other Doctors too; I just can't think of them as quickly.

Of course it has to be on here. I still remember our whole kindergarten class, teachers and all, sobbing as we watched it for the first time on VHS.

Just the first ten minutes or so. They really could've stopped the movie after that and won an Oscar for best short feature.

Not one but two dead dogs, a pending move to somewhere unpleasant far from grandparents, and a legend come true all in one movie. Wowza.
