Movies that made you tear up/cry.

Grave of the Fireflies. It's about two little orphaned children in post-war Japan slowly starving to death. And that's not a spoiler because you see it in the first five minutes and the rest of the movie is a flashback.

What makes it worse: it's based on the memoirs of the older brother who actually survived, but his sister did indeed die pretty much the way it's depicted in the movie.
