Stalker
I don't have a lot to say about this movie (right now). I just think that's a really cool picture! That damn dog follows the protagonists around the whole time without explanation. This being Tarkovsky, I am tempted to say it is God, or whatever. But then again Tarkovsky isn't too keen on symbolism or allegory.
I don't ever cry, at anything, but this movie, at 4+ hours and very little dialogue or character, almost had me in tears at the end. I don't want to ruin it for you brave souls who may see it someday, but I can say that it uses Beethoven's Ode to Joy and it seems totally appropriate.
