I, too, was a complete mess during "Ponette," and was not helped by the
fact that my companions thought it was a silly movie. Give me a ring when
you decide to relive the pain. One of my favorite films, also terribly
upsetting, is "Farewell My Concubine." 

As for songs personally sad: Mazzy Star's "Fade Into You." About
three years have passed since this became unbearable to listen to,
and I still skip over it on the CD player (then again, it's the only song
I really like on the album). And though it is not connected to any
specific memories, "Fox In The Snow" also makes me cry.
