We own Grave of the Fireflies on dvd. It's a lovely movie, but so so sad.

Tonight we watched The Pianist, from our Netflix selection, also fairly gut wrenching, especially the beginning when you see the systematic degradation of the Jews. I really had a hard time watching that.

I thought Grave of the Fireflies was an amazing movie, but just beyond sad. Have you watched it more than once? i'm not sure I would be able to.
