We have all cried watching The Notebook, we wept when Bambi's mom died, and we sobbed during Titanic...all eight times. Sure, none of us feel a little bit guilty about shedding a few tears over any of these films. But, let's admit it: We've all teared up at a couple films we'd rather not ever see again, ever.
