Breaking the Waves made me so, so sad. Just permanently sad for weeks. Not that its necessarily a bad thing, but I don't know that I would purposefully choose it for myself again. Other 'sad' films have not had the same effect on me, even while having a strong impact (The Pianist, for example) I don't know if its the way it was made or if it simply struck a personal chord but I admit that I have stayed away from his films since.
