Lassie/Tear Jerker


 * The original Lassie. Any dog movie is going to make me burn through a box of Kleenex at least, but the the dealbreaker was a sequence in the middle of the film where a kindly old traveling tinsmith takes Lassie in for a while. The old man has a fluffy little dog that is his only companion. When thieves attack him, Lassie and the little dog rush to his defense  Great, now my keyboard is damp.
 * Well, she had to--otherwise we wouldn't have had the even bigger TJ at the end when.
