Well I have always had a soft spot for true war films. Maybe it's all the talking I do with my Dutch grandfather and English grandmother who were in it, or something else.

I haven't watched a lot of the films mentioned above (not even Schindler's List) but I found the film Downfall to be the most depressing film I've ever seen. Especially the scene where Frau Goebbels poisons her children.

Also, though not a movie, I found the World at War series to be very saddening. I watched the entire 36 hour dvd box set my friend's dad lent me in a week. One day I spent 10 hours straight just watching them and just felt so sad for the entire day, then discussed it with my grandfather who added his own stories and views on what had happened during the occupation of Holland.

I nearly cried in Hotel Rwanda too. My friend highly reccommends The Pianist but hasn't lent it to me yet.
