The saddest movie you've ever seen is...?

I think you might have to be a parent to relate.

I cannot say if that is the reason why, but that movie kicked my ass. I am of the group that thinks the kid was dreaming at the end, and would wake up and eat the bullet. His dad told him, as long as the dreams were bad, he was alright. What were the chances of a dog and a whole family?

I read about that movie and decided I could not watch it. I have children, including a young boy.

It has to be Revenge of the Sith for me. Hearing Darth Vader let out that heartwrenching "NOOOOO" for the first time was one of the most emotional experiences of my life. George Lucas has to be one of the most underrated filmmakers out there today.

I hope to god you are joking. Everyone in the theater laughed their asses off at that scene.

If you can't see the sarcasm in that, you don't belong on the Internet.

This.

Though I've been on the net long enough to know there are people out there who post that kind of thing and aren't being sarcastic. D:

The book "The Road" is much harder to take than the movie, though the movie was well done given the story.

Click was pretty sad(for an Adam Sandler Movie anyway)

This was surprisingly emotional. I actually liked it.

You sure one of you aren't talking about "Reign Over Me," the Adam Sandler movie featuring the "Shadow of the Colossus" PS2 game?

For me, there are 3 which share equal sadness:

Grave of the Fireflies. I was just weeping and sobbing at the end.

"Hachi: A Dog's Tale" was also way up on the list. I just couldn't stop crying like a little girl. I was amazed that a G-rated movie could hit me so hard. For people that haven't owned a lot of pets the movie probably isn't as sad, but for anybody that has had to put their pets down before, it hits you hard.

Lastly "Up!" This was the first movie I recall seeing in the theater where literally everybody in the entire movie theater was crying during one of the first few scenes. One lady in the theater was weeping and sobbing so bad it was just crazy.

Did you see Marley & Me?

omg this! I saw it once and only once at the movie theater (yeah, way back then in the 70's lol).............turn on the waterworks! My then girlfriend decided to pick up the book at college for one of her classes (I think). Everything was fine for a few days, then one day she peeks out of the bedroom door with tears streaming down her face. Anything where a pet dies is just too much for me.

People? No problem....
Dogs/cats = :'(


There was a movie back in the 70's called 'Silent Running' that makes me a little sad when I think about the ending even today.....go figure

Never saw Reign over Me. "Click" had a lot of emotion in the film, it was a comedy without a doubt but there are parts that turned into a tearjerker.

My wife and I took our daughter to see Up!. At one point early on we look over at each other and both have tears in our eyes.

Just realized it was in the OP.

Band of Brothers (while technically not a movie) always gets me. To see what they went through and see those old men cry about it even decades later is pretty touching.

 

[Kreon]

Up was really sad. Its the first movie since I was about 10 that I had to hold back tears.

The Road was sad in a thoroughly hopeless way. I felt like crap for a couple days afterwards.
