I haven't seen it, but from what I understand Sophie's Choice isn't really considered a feel good movie.

American History X was another movie that left me on an emotional roller coaster for weeks and maybe even still to this day twenty years later!

 

I was with Derek

I was against Derek

I was with Derek

I was against Derek 

I was with Derek 

And in the end.....it turns out that DEREK WAS RIGHT ABOUT EVERYTHING!

Good ones listed.  I'll add a few:

Steel Magnolias -- overall a very funny and entertaining movie, but I have a daughter with Type 1 diabetes, so I can never watch it again.

Sommersby -- an obscure (perhaps) chick flick with Richard Gere

I forgot about Sommersby! that's a good one.

Cool Hand Luke, while one of my favorites, is pretty damn depressing.

#1 answer still has to be Old Yeller because of the ending and worse thing I had to do was put my dog down and I been through a lot before that. Cause you make that choice for them!

I had a DVD recorder and subscribed to most of the movie channels back then. I watched it once, but I've never been able to bring myself to watch it again.

Agreed. Why couldn't Marisa Tomei have showed her bewbs like that when she was younger?  :(

The Fischer King

:huh:   "Depressing"?  Good movie with good ending.

My first thought of a depressing movie was Awakenings. Good movie that I watched with my teenage daughter recently ... she was crying at the end.

I was pretty depressed when I heard that the girl from Saved by the Bell was making a stripper movie and it wasn't Kelly.  :cry:
