Saddest Movie Ever.

[Pocatello]

I still can't believe they shot ol' yeller!

Radio Flyer made me incredibly sad, and not in the way What Dreams May Come or Stepmom or Prefontaine did. Radio Flyer was just horrible because it dealt with little kids, and when he gets the postcard from his brother, I was totally bawling!

saddest movie ever - police academy 3 or emanuelle

 

[geekybear]

Beaches is definitely one of the saddest movies ever. Even without the movie, the song Wind Beneath my Wings makes me get this huge lump in my throat and a quivering lip. I've heard that Terms of Endearment is supposed to be pretty sad too, but have yet to see it. Oh, and Steel Magnolias...it really sucks when Shelby dies.

 

[Miramonti]

Anything with Jean Claude Van Damme.

seriously though....

The French films Jean de Florette and Manon of the Spring

I 2nd the vote for Jean de Florette, and an awesome movie. Manon de Source was good too but after the first story its hard to capture the same impact.

<< Schindler's List. >>



Yup.
Makes me cry every time.

 

[satori]

Hey, totally agree with Grave of the Fireflies. I'm trying to remember it's Japanese name... Hotaru No Haka? Does that sound right?

Anyways, I remember having trouble sleeping for a week or so afterwards. Man, amazing how much it affected me. I'm undecided on whether or not to show it to my g/f. She's sort of a crier, so this might put her over the edge.

Life is Beautiful.


sad and funny

 

[RossMAN]

Schindler's List, it's out on DVD right?

WTF? It's NOT on DVD, why?

First Braveheart, now this.

 

[cahwis]

Bambi, come on now the mother died

 

[Bulldoggy]

Turner and Hooch all the way.

 

[AbsolutZero]

Is anyone old enough to remember The Day After? It was produced and aired on ABC in the 80s. I had nightmares for weeks after that, but it really is sad, especially the ending. I think you can still get copies on VHS.

What about braveheart.

 

[RossMAN]

Braveheart took FOREVER to be released on DVD, didn't happen until I picked up my free copy last year. EB World gave you a free copy for two copies of used DVDs, two cheapo $6.99 Fry's DVDs is all it took.

Grave of Fireflies is by far the saddest movie i've ever seen. I had to turn it off at one point because I couldn't take it anymore. I played Q3 for about 3 hrs to keep from killing myself I was so depressed.

If you haven't seen this movie YOU MUST SEE IT. heres one persons view of the movie:


<< During my searches on Anime on the net one day I came across this title. This was 2 years ago.

Then last week I went to an Anime convention and at the DVD stand I saw it. I bought it immediately.

When I got home 3 days later I popped it in. I was warned about it being tragic but nothing could have prepared me for the wave of emotion that hit me while watching it. I was depressed for a whole day. Even thinking about it made me cry..

This is the power of Grave Of The Fireflies..

This is not your typical Dragonball Z/Sailormoon/Pokemon style anime. While I love Sailormoon and some Dragonball Z, Grave Of The Fireflies surpasses it by lightyears. I bought it expecting an epic movie like Ghost In The Shell or Akira but even those paled compared to this.

We have here a story of a 14 year old boy(Seita) who loses his mother in a firebombing during World War 2. He then has to take care of his 4 year old sister(Setsuko). While at first they're taken in by his aunt the relationship between him and his aunt takes a turn for the worst. He then ends up on the street and the struggle begins... It doesn't take a genious to figure out that things get really depressing, yet I won't spoil the ending..

All I have left to say is that you have to see this movie.. It's the most powerful movie I've ever seen... It's painful to watch but still you have to see it... >>





Another good anime that is fairly sad is Windaria

Most "mainstream" movies don't evoke an emotional response from me. Character development is weak and I don't grow a bond with the characters, thus I don't care about the characters.

Saving Private Ryan is one of the few "mainstream" movies that did evoke a response from me. I went into this movie wanting to see some blood and guts in another war movie, but what I saw on opening night instead, were veterans in the theatre that were crying uncontrollably at the begining of the movie. This gave me a wake up call in my life. These men all around me lived what I was watching on screen, and I realized exactly how lucky I really am. I have not had to nor will I have to ever go through what these "heros" went through.
I cannot watch that movie with friends because everytime I see it I think back to that night in the theatre and I start to get misty eyed. And of course you can't let your friends see you tearing up, can you?

1. Gladiator is awesome all-arounder. cept comedy. it doesnt' have much of that
2. What dreams may come is just an underated amazing tear-jerker
3. Pay it forward is really sad
4. Radio Flyer made me cry when i was little.
5. My brother told me that "Hardball" was a sad movie.

A third for those two movies. Not only is it really sad, but the storywriting is just awesome. After you watch these two movies, other movies just won't be any good for awhile.

Another vote for Braveheart - my all time favorite movie.

I also gotta mention Seven Samurai... Another awesome movie. Really sad as well...

The two saddest ones for me are

Forrest Gump
Braveheart

I couldn't help but cry a bit at the end of each of them


Also, LotR *might* be sad. I was quite saddened when I read what happened after, when the Merry and Pippin die, and finally, when Aragron is laid to rest....
