Saddest movie you have seen

The notebook. Ya it might be gay but it got me.

saddest movie is The Green Mile
My face was absolutely soaked when I came out of the cinema...

Was on the plane heading to USA for my honeymoon when I watched the The Time Traveler's Wife (2009). Poor new husband wakes up from a nap to find me blubbering like I was trying to save the world's water shortage. AND I'd already read the book! So I knew what was going to happen and it still got me!

The Elephant Man is probably the saddest movie I have seen. Anvil: The Story of Anvil is also in my list. I cried with American Movie as well.

Oh forgot to add The Great Escape when Colin died.

Im not sure if anybody has mentioned Benigni's Life is Beautiful. That's another tremendously sad movie.

Where the Red Fern Grows

Saddest movie is probably braveheart for me.
but the only movie i cried in my whole life is ice age (in the end :P)

Looks like we've got another one. Though as they think Braveheart's the saddest film they've ever seen, I won't be sorry to see them go.

Old Yeller. Sniff.

P.S.

U asked for it.

Green Mile

Six Weeks ..not 9 1/2 weeks, you pervs!!!

Not so much sad, but depressing as hell-- Little Children--just saw it, what a downer! Not one redeeming character in the whole flick. Although Jackie Earle Haley owned it as a twisted perv. Still, it left me feeling empty and sad at the end....

So we have found there is a difference between a sad film and a depressing film.

I think the reason Little Children was more depressing than sad for me, is that it was about adults making bad choices.
They could all pretty much help themselves. Now if they had been eaten by a zombie, it might have been sad (or exciting).

Little Children is one of the films I own that I've yet to see. Sadly, I'm not in the right frame of mind to watch stuff like this atm. I watched The Chaser last week and I had enough trouble with that.

Really good film, though. Well worth a look.

It's a tough film to watch for sure. Make sure you do something constructive and positive before watching, to offset the negativity!

High Tension. Very sad and horrible.

I'd say it's a bloody awful ending, I don't know about sad though.

I think that Chrystal (2005) is one of the saddest films I've seen in a long time. Ray McKinnen has a knack for melancholy. One of the others he did is a short film, The Accountant (2001). It's incredible. Both are films based on some aspect of rural southern life. Chrystal is based in the ozark mountains, and The Accountant is on a farm. Of course, being a southerner, I'm going to have a strong affinity for this sort of thing. Especially when it portrays southerners and southern life with realism, while not giving authority to stereotypes and idealism. Unlike many other films.
