The History Boys.

Really powerful, I've never given Alan Bennett much attention but I shall now - the acting's brilliant, particularly by Griffiths and the homosexual character.

The ending had me on the verge of tears.

Cinema Paradiso.

I watched the 3-hour Directors Cut, not knowing there was a shorter 2-hour version. After reading what was left out in the 2-hour, I'm glad I watched the 3-hour one. It's a real tearjerker. :'(

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince

Watched it last night, and now I can understand why everybody loves it. :)

I think both versions are nice in their own ways, but I've always preferred the original for some reason because it concentrated more on the real love affair of the story for me, without sinking into melodrama. I enjoy ambiguity and longing in flicks I suppose, I don't know.

I got sent the extended version from Netflix saying "2 hrs 3 min" on the cover, turns out when I pressed pause I saw that the actual length was "2 hrs 53 min"

Usually when a film is near 3 hours, I don't watch it until I'm in a certain mood - which the mood comes rarely. It was lengthy, but it was kind of the longing for love that had already passed part I enjoyed.

Yep, and the original release it ends on that note, rather than reintroducing the love interest, which I felt was more powerful and in keeping with the tone of the film that preceeded it. Anyway, the real love story for me was between the boy and the projectionist.... it was so touching.

True. I was far more interested in that than him and Elena.

5 Centimeters Per Second, I loved it. It's a bit weird but once it clicks it's quite heartbreaking.
