Yes a top list.

Is there anyone alive that watched this movie and didnt cry?
I think the entire movie was made to jerk as many tears as possible. So much that I had to force myself to not cry because everything was getting too wet.

For those that didnt cry, do you think you lack feelings?

Was this movie truly impossible to not cry over?

In my experience:

1. Schindler's List
2. A Christmas Carol (the 1951 version in particular)
3. The Elephant Man
4. Risen
5. Amazing Grace

Strangely enough, I don't care for It's a Wonderful Life either. And The Boy in the Striped Pajamas didn't make me cry; it did shock and horrify me.

The Miracle Worker 1962 Surprised that it hasn't been mentioned.
