Will I cry?

The big question: What film will move me to tears? I see so many films that it takes a lot to make me cry. But when it happens, it's all the magic that film can be. A few years ago, the tears came from Sen. Barbara Mikulski guest-hosting "To Kill a Mockingbird." It was a dark time in U.S. government (still is), and I took comfort in Atticus, Scout, Boo and the Bawlmer powerhouse herself, who after the film gave us a much-needed pep talk.
