What's the most heartbreaking film you've watched?

[LudoBear]

I've just watched Mums List. Proper sobbing watching it and I don't even have children.

Eight Below, Haachi and Marley & Me are sad too.

Seven pounds, the boy in striped pyjamas, titanic

Who will love my children ... a made for tv film.

@hamptonmummy if you're interested in the case that inspired Devils Knot you should watch the Paradise Lost trilogy and The Forgotten West Memphis 3.

It's an awful, awful case all around and all the sadder that the families of those 3 little boys are unlikely to see justice being done even if it does seem obvious.

Beaches
Stepmom
Lovely bones
I know my name is Steven

The Colour Purple.

Always guaranteed to make me cry.

Who will love my children. Tears rolled down my cheeks. This is my father. If that film doesn't make you cry your a marble statue.

Hotel Rwanda. I cried for days afterwards.

Also:
Inside I'm dancing
What dreams may come
Still Alice

Boy in the Striped Pyjamas - Heart breakingly sad.....

Powder I think it was called, about an albino boy.
Lovely bones.
Watership down.

Whistle blower
Shawshank redemption

Green mile

Kes, it killed me.

Undoubtedly a Hungarian film called Viharsarok (Land of Storms). It's the only film I've ever watched I'd say is genuinely heart breaking rather than just sad.

Kes, it killed me.

totally.

I looked up the dad on Facebook. He has remarried and has another son plus a stepson. Made me happy to see.

I loved 84 Charing Cross road, quite an old film now, about the American author Helene Hanff, and her correspondence and friendship with Frank Doel who ran an antique bookshop in London.

She wanted to visit for many years, and when she finally got there, about twenty years later, she discovered he had died only a few months before. Utterly heartbreaking.

Marley and Me. Still to this day have not managed to watch to the end.

The lovely bones. Stuck with me for a long time

Stepmom
Inside I'm Dancing

Imitation of Life - old Lana Turner film, absolutely brilliant and makes me cry.
The Champ and Lion- make me sob
Avengers Infinity War- Spiderman at the end makes me cry

Forgot 'Brief Encounter' ! Still heartbreaking after all these years.

Oh the final scene where they are together in the train station, it would break your heart. Also the scene in The Bridges of Madison County where she is in the truck.

I always find it interesting how these scenes are almost universally seen as being dreadfully sad - they are regularly cited on these kind of threads - but if the Meryl Streep or Celia Howard character posted on Relationships they would likely be torn to shreds as adulterous bitches.

Who will love my children - watched it when I was about 14/15, meant to be babysitting for my mum but I was so heartbroken she had to stay in and comfort me. I was a mess!
