Saddest movie?

[Orac Zen]

Either Jean de Florette or Penny Serenade.

I'm not sure I can bring myself to watch either movie ever again.

Titanic? FFS

A Night to Remember, yes.

I remember watching it on a Friday and I was depressed all weekend

The Champ

Schindler's List.. even today i still can't see the movie without crying at some point

Phenomenon.. i know, Scientology vehicle for Travolta but the last third is so heartwrenching

 

[Vasquez Rocks]

Big Fish

 

[Relayer1]

Silent Running.

Testament. If you don't cry at this movie, you have no soul.

Seconded. It's a small film, but overwhelming. Almost 30 years later, I still think Jane Alexander was robbed of the Oscar.

Of course, she was up against Shirley McClaine for Terms of Endearment...another movie that makes me cry every damn time I see it.

Oh, yeah. Steel Magnolias, too.

Atonement always gets me, too.

I don't know about all around "sad", but I cried over the closing credits of "The World According to Garp". After Garp was assasinated by the Ellen Jamsesian and the movie ended with that little baby (who was Garp as a child) happily floating in the sky (I think the sky), for some reason the tears just started flowing. Weird.

Old Yeller

I'm with you. I saw it when I was a kid and it devastated me.

Allegro Non Troppo: the sequence with the starving cat wandering through the bombed-out ruins of its once-happy home chokes me up just thinking about it.

It's the excruciating contrast between the cat's memories of happier days, when it was warm and safe and loved, and its miserable, homeless present that just kills me . . . .

 

[Sephiroth]

Grave of Fireflies comes to mind. It was just pure, horrific depression.

Now and Then, Here and There makes GOTF seem cheerful by compairison, and the saddest movie for me is Adieu, Galaxy Express 999

Titanic. It honestly made me cry the first time I saw it.

Yeah, but you were probably having your period.

Anyways, movies with animals tug at my sensitive heart strings. Old Yeller, The Incredible Journey, Project X, Turner and Hooch.

Nope, not acceptable. Infraction for trolling, comments to PM.

apologies to all, but it made me laugh.

"Ironweed" with Jack Nicholson and Meryl Streep. "Blackbird," "Gardens of the Night," "Nonames" with Gillian Jacobs.

 

[sojourner]

Man, I must have anti-sad radar when it comes to seeing movies. I haven't heard of half of these.
