Saddest Movie Ever.

[optimistic]

Life is Beautiful.

A foreign film about a father trying to keep his son away from the horrors of the Holocaust -from within a concentration camp!


What do you think is the most saddest movie, or most heartfelt movie of all time?
(I'm trying to get movie rental ideas)

 

[Ulfwald]

Schindler's List.

 

[GoldenGuppy]

I'm usually a big sucker for animal/pet movies when they die, or when they are hurt - that's when I get really emotional... I just love animals, and I can't stand the sight of seeing one in pain. I remember almost crying in Homeward Bound when the GOlden REtriever fell down the ditch.

 

[yobarman]

Green Mile

 

[zayened]

Definitely The Outsiders (When Dally get's shot at the end by all those cops)

Forrest Gump is sad.

Also Dances with Wolves has sad parts.

 

[GoldenGuppy]

<< Forrest Gump is sad.

Also Dances with Wolves has sad parts. >>



I concur w/ Forrest Gump... his monologues are so sad, especially the one when he was at Jenny's tombstone. Great movie.

 

[optimistic]

ok, how about just a good movie to rent for those nights in -with that special someone

 

[Mephistopheles]

There was a movie with Dennis Quaid about war between Croatia and Serbia a few years ago. I think it was called The Messiah. Not only sad, but some scenes were horrifying; the way some ppl were killed.

 

[Mephistopheles]

Any really funny comedy will do. Only those make my gf get "enamored".

 

[PaNsyBoy8]

Anywhere but here (i think this is what its called, it had natalie portman in it)

I didn't see the whole movie but the parts i did see where very very depressing,
My friends and i where watching it while gettin ready to party in cancun, man it
took us a while to get back in the partying mood

 

[TallBill]

Life is Beautiful actually helped me go on after watching it. I was just about at a low point in my life when i saw it. I think i need to see it again.

 

[datalink7]

Requiem for a Dream.

Everyone in that movie had big dreams, and they all got shattered.

 

[Radiohead]

Lots of good movies mentioned here, but I think the saddest movie I've seen was Of Mice & Men, starring Gary Sinese.

The novel itself was great, and really tugged my heart strings, but watching the movie was just totally something else.

 

[Rendus]

Grave of the Fireflies.

 

[Yzzim]

I thought The Hurricane (or whatever it was called) was sad. Along with The Shawshank Redemption, The Green Mile, that movie with Tom Hanks and that dog that dies (spoiler if you've never seen it before), Big, The Wizard of Oz, etc etc

 

[Mephistopheles]

Yzzim, those movies all had a feel-good ending, although I never saw Hurricane. Did you even come close to crying during any of those movies? The only movie I think I cried for was Platoon. You know, the scene where Elias comes running out of the forest. <sniff, sniff>

 

[optimistic]

bob970 i have the same sentiment toward that movie too. don't fret about it too much. maybe ask that special girl to watch it with you the second time around

And the Hurricane!! OMG...bad memories...i was stuck in a 14hr flight.and they showed that movie 3 times!!! ahh!

Also, I thought GroundHog Day was a good watch too. imo. Not a date movie but, I wish I had the ability to re-do stuff like Bill Murray had -in that movie.

datalink7 I'll look that movie up

And Schindler's List. is definetly a sad movie.

Just because they had a "feel good" ending doesn't mean they weren't sad at some point in the movie. Here's the sad parts that I can remember from each movie I listed:

The Hurricane - When he's old and just getting out of jail. His whole life wasted because he was behind bars.
The Shawshank Redemption - When Red finally sees Andy again on the beach.
The Green Mile - A bunch of parts. When the mouse get killed, the big guy gets killed, etc.
That Movie with Tom Hanks and That Dog That Dies - When the dog dies. duh.
Big - When Tom Hanks is in that adult suit but is finally a kid again.
The Wizard of Oz - When the Lion gets a heart.

 

[optimistic]

In the Green Mile I thought the saddest part is when the Native American man was revealing to TOm Hanks the happiest time of his life. He rememered camping in the mountains with his girlfriend and just see her there under the moonlight renewed his appreciation for life.

 

[suspectbanana]

I concur with Rendus. Graveyard of the Fireflies. Damn depressing movie. I didn't even finish the damn thing. Had to walk out muttering "WHy do I do this to myself???" Some movies, sometimes, just gets to a point where you're not watching a movie, you're torturing yourself emotionally. Damn.

 

[optimistic]

lol i hate it when that happens

 

[Aihyah]

Grave of the Fireflies.

by far... its that sad.

i've seen green mile, schinlders list, forest gump etc, sad too, but not quite as sad. life is beautiful is kinda light..so sorta sad.

 

[brxndxn]

Angus was the only movie I teared up to... But then again, I was sick with a fever and I already had a runny nose and watering eyes and I felt miserable so I was like, "What the hell.. I'm by myself.. Crying to Angus can't hurt."
