    I don't get it.

    They went back as far as "Harold and Maude," but not as far back as "City Lights"?

    Why not?

    For that matter, why not include the otherwise trashy "The Last American Virgin"?

    "Hachi: A Dog's Tale" is very sad near the end, but has a happier
    actual ending.

    People who make these lists often have tunnel vision.

    How about "A Patch of Blue"?

    Films don't have to have sad endings to bring tears.
    Consider "Random Harvest".

    Oops! I haven't watched this film again since the first time I saw it
    many years ago. It had a pronounced effect on me unlike most other
    tear-jerker style films. My heart went out to him, and I felt intense compassion.

    "The Elephant Man" (1980)

    And usually American-centric because they don't realise any other
    countries even exist. :-\
