O'Hehir stated right at the outset, no recent Disney/Pixar blockbusters. That's what makes the list interesting!
Regarding "Grave of the Fireflies." I rented that for my 10 and 13 yr. olds, thinking, oh here's another one of those magical Miyazaki movies about children. I check on them at the end and they're bawling their eyes out. Saddest Movie Ever Made, seems to be the Internet concensus. It seemed like a big mistake at the time, being one of the most emotionally wrenching experiences they'd ever had, but they still talk about that movie (two years later). Perhaps we protect our children too much from such expiences. But maybe I just screwed up.
