And we're not talking about the projected BO for "Cowboys & Aliens," even if you count the overseas market. No, this concerns the search for most emotionally unhappy film ever. Why? Well, this is a thing on the internet this week, because they've determined the answer with science. Slashfilm says:

Here it is. If you go to the YouTube page, you'll note that comments have been disabled, and we suspect the reason might be everyone who comments on YouTube is gibbering idiot.

Entertainment Weekly has a list of sad movies. Seems rather short-sighted - any list that does not include Star Trek 2, with Spock's funerals, is sadly incomplete. Those bagpipes: every time. Besides, one sad scene does not a sad movie make, or the first 10 minutes of "UP" would top many lists.
