The title should be 'shimau' instead of 'teshimau.' 'te' is a particle and
does not form the root of 'shimau.' (contributor: bamboo4)
Wouldn't this fall under the other category of
しまう？「その映画を見て泣いてしまった」にはほかの翻訳あると思いますが。。。
Watching that movie, I cried (not that I wanted to, or expected to cry).
Perhaps because this would be a case where there isn't regret?

I think 〜てしまう can imply two meanings:
1) completed
2) to my regret
I'm really not sure how one can distinguish which one a person is trying to
imply.. I guess it's based on the context of what one is saying?

I agree with eastmael. Here is some explanation from text :
〜てしまう
１．全部終わる
E.g. : 作文をかいてしまったら、公園に行きましょう
２．失敗する・残念だと思う
E.g.: 1.大切な結婚指輪を無くしてしまいました。
2.大好きな猫が既に死んでしまったんだ。
I think if something bad happened unwillingly, 〜しまう goes to the 2nd
meaning.Otherwise, if it is something done without any special adverse
effects or just a plain task or action, it goes to the 1st meaning.

I don`t know about everyone else, but I have never heard しまう used to
mean 'I finished Ving'
It always seems to have a negative meaning attached to it. (contributor:

Tigertさん, I added example #6786 caught from JPLT2 in this level 3 entry
exactly for the note you wrote. (contributor: 赤毛)
