What is the saddest movie of all time?

Old Yeller?
Spartacus?
Philadelphia?
The girl with a pearl earring?

What jerks the tears for you?

and that's too much for me.

Faye Dunaway played Joan Crawford to campy heaven and didn't even get notices for it--so sad!!

How are you doing?

Hopefully better these days.

I must keep up with you, I've been slacking lately

I don't come round much anymore. Been easily distracted at work this week, so here I've been. Are you well? I'm okay. Lousy today but generally pretty good.

Also, "Spitfire Grill" always makes me cry!

Hotel Rwanda
Million Dollar Baby
Terms of Endearment

I keep having the urge to say Animal House, but that would be just snarky, wouldn't it?

Just the scene at the end where he has a heart attack and he's trying to reach Lara is really so sad, so sad that she just passes by and everyone seems to just receed into the blankness of Soviet life.

"This is a true, memorable, compassionate story of courage and love between two brothers. In 1973, while John Cappelletti was winning the Heisman Trophy as the outstanding college football player in America, his younger brother Joey was suffering from leukemia. But John, now a running back for the Los Angeles Rams, had a very special medicine for Joey. It was called touchdowns. And John scored them in bunches because they were "Something for Joey." The story of the Cappelletti family is a story of courage you will never forget."

Pure tear-jerker!

everytime I see it. :(

She was a truly believable character. I can usually hold back the tears until the death scene, but at that point where she is talking about how stupid she feels at thinking it would be a relief is just heart breaking.

the ending just tears me up.

Could anything else have happened to that poor woman?!

Can't help it - I cry like a baby every time.

i went with my buddies the night they re-released it and i was completely engulfed in it. There at the end, we all had tears and then during the most emotional part (i won't spoil it for those who haven't seen it) as the music is starting to swell, the SOUND CUTS OUT!!!!!!!! :grr::grr::grr::grr::grr: completely ruined the moment!

Friday Night Lights is quite the tear-jerker too.

"Grave of the Fireflies"

Not only sad, but artfully sad - not Spielbergian "You should feel sad now" sad, but genuinely sad.

I watched the first time in Winter - February, it was - and later in June, when I saw my first firelies, I was consumed with sadness. And I hadn't necessarily been thinking about the movie, either. I just happened to see fireflies and WHAM! All sadness.

A truly incredible movie. I tried to watch it again last summer (it was 2000 when I saw it the first time), and I couldn't - it also brought back all the memories of my 9-11 experience, as well as my sadness about the war in Iraq and all the evil that the shitpot fucknut in the white house is doing. A friend of mine really wanted to see the movie, and about ten minutes in I had to say, with tears in my eyes, "there is no way I can watch this right now. Absolutely not." And I made him stop the movie and watch something else.

Too many to think about...

It captured all the human waste of the Viet Nam War. I cried my eyes out after that one in the parking lot of the movie theatre.

very sad

"Dude, Where Are All My White Blood Cells?"

Basically everyone in it is punished horribly, to one degree or another.

Notice the initials of John Coffee. ;-)

weird!

that's what the director talked about in the making-of special on the movie.

God, I'm cheesy.

:cry:

"What Dreams May Come" with Robin Williams (yeah, can you believe that?) just reduces me to a crying baby EVERY time I see it. I have to take a decongestant before watching it, it's that weepy for me.

Anything involving someone's child dying I just. Can't. Handle. I have nightmares.
