Saddest movie you have seen

Tears of the sun

Wow, that's a hard one. I don't really go for the tearjerker, there are elements of sadness in most every film I find interesting. Probably "Wings Of Desire" not really sad in the western sense but it has an air of melancholy throughout. Its probably one of the most "Zen-like" western films I have seen. "Until the End of the World" another Wenders film, carries the same feeling.

My Dog Spot. That's the only film I can think of that actually made me cry.

Land Before Time. Totally.

Forrest Gump. I cried A LOT

Powder has the one of the most bittersweet endings I've ever seen. But in terms of slit-your-wrists depressing, The Killing Fields wins the competition for me.

Signifying nothing."

Macbeth

Oh man...Million Dollar Baby for sure.
Finding Neverland...definetly.
Forrest Gump...gets me every single time without fail.
Dead Poet's Society...had to fake cry in class for sure
Life is Beautiful...fake cried for that one too
Power of One
Hotel Rawanda
Field of Dreams
Brokeback Mountain...yep it got me

I cried out of boredom while watching Dead Poet's Society.

Actually, the only movie that ever really made me cry was Pay It Forward.

Come to think of it, American History X is a pretty depressing film. The ending is a real gut-puncher.

A Time for Drunken Horses (an Iranian film) is sad too, just to see what the characters go through so their brother can have his operation.

It would be wrong of me not to mention Boys Don't Cry as well.

sarcasm??

I found the ending to Pay It Forward as predictable and uncalled for...I don't see any real point to it, to me, it ruined the movie

What's the haps all...new here and this is my first post. I thought Stroszek and Grave of the Fireflies were pretty damn sad.

Definitely Grave of the fireflies. The music is what does it in that movie.

Definitely Grave of the Fireflies.

Yep, I agree.

Sorry Equil...I'm sure the music set the tone and added to the saddness (it's been awhile since I've seen it), but what left a lasting impression on me was the hoplessness of the kids situation and their struggle.

Good call on Grave of the Fireflies. That was a sad one.

The saddest movie I have ever seen is Requiem for a Dream, because at the end when everyone's life was being screwed over at the end just because of their drug addictions, I just felt so depressed after that movie.

I couldn't agree more. I've seen many sad movies but none of them made me feel so helpless and depressed as Requiem for a Dream.

Field of Dreams...not so much sad, but the only movie that can make me cry
