Saddest film you've ever seen?

[bluetit101]

So I'm sitting here watching Seven Pounds (Will Smith)
I've seen this film loads of times, but it never fails to make me cry. Like proper ugly cry, tears streaming, everything.
This is the only film that does this to me. I think it's so underrated.

What movies do this to other people??

Who Will Love MY Children.

Haven't watched it in years but would sob for hours after that.

Love Story, when I was about 12 then The Elephant Man when I was about 15 and stoic and hard as nails and never cried and would do everything in my power not to cry as I hated myself for it because the films would stay with me for days and days...weeks sometimes, and if I thought about them, I'd start bubbling again, whereas everyone else who'd seen them were so over it.
I'm an ugly crier who's face swells up, eyes puff out and stay red and swollen for hours....so my film remit is now very narrow...no kids, Disney, animals, cruelty, death or sad music

The road. I dont usually get emotional but when the father dies on the beach its quite heartbreaking

P.S I love you makes me cry everytime, I can’t even watch Marley and me , i pre-cry before it even comes on

Just watched Atonement. Bawled my eyes out.

Aww pre crying that is adorable

Leaving Las Vegas

OP, you're daft for letting him watch a film that he's too young for and then being shocked that he was upset for 20 minutes afterwards.

I pre-cried quite severely when I first watched War Horse the movie, the opening credits hadn’t finished rolling and I was already destroyed. That was the last time I went to a cinema by myself 🙈

I cry at everything though, cried so much during toy story 3 my eyelashes all fell out. Most embarrassing of all was taking loads of young children to watch Beverly Hills Chihuahua, towards the end a police dog gets his badge back and I 😭😭😭

Coco is just the best Disney film ever!

I pre cried at the lion king musical I was that excited

I haven't read the whole thread so I'm not sure ìf it's been mentioned

Madame X

Oh my god.... I absolutely sobbed... saddest film I have ever seen. My mum told me to watch it.

Bridge to Terabithia. When it ended my then 12 year old dd had to lead me out howling and blinded by tears.

Sophie's Choice, no question. Far more devastating (and rings more true) than the more recent Holocaust film, The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas, which always seems pretty far fetched so I can't really take it seriously.

Petes Dragon had me proper blubbing!

Schindler’s List - ugly cry every time. It’s a bit too close to home for me.

The Green Mile

PS I Love You - a crap film, but really emotional at the same time.

American Sniper - again very close to home so hits me right in the feels.

Incendiary with Michelle Williams and Ewan McGregor, about a bomb that goes off at a football match, and the aftermath. Just devastating - I blubbed like a baby watching that with DP.

Brokeback Mountain
Life Itself

I didn't get past the first five minutes of Saving Private Ryan I was sobbing so much. I didn't see any more than that so I have no idea of the rest of the film.

The idea of all those people going to war just makes me an emotional mess.

OMG... Life Itself 😭😭😭

Inside Out makes me ugly cry every time.

Land of Mine was for me, beyond tears, it was so sad. But then, my dad was one of those boys the story is based on. He was a 16 year old prisoner of war digging up landmines on the beach. He saw too much. That's all I know. It was too close to home.

They Shall Not Grow Old watched recently broke my heart, absolutely.

The Pianist was mentioned. God that's a heartbreaker. He is so bloody brilliant in that film, Adrian Brody is.

Poetry- a Korean film. The ending... It was like my womb swelled with absolute choking sorrow.

I think most if not all of these have been mentioned already.

Dead Poets Society (after the play)
Stand By Me
Inside Out (Bing Bong)
The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas (can't watch that again)
Les Miserables (doesn't matter which version even if it's non musical, loving the new TV version but I have the tissues on stand by)
La La Land (I know this wasn't well liked overall but the ending had me bawling, I was madly hormonal at the time though so may have been the reason)
The Lion King
The Fox and the Hound
Up (the start)
My Girl

The imitation game - I saw it in the cinema with my husband and parents and could not stop crying at the end......just so sad

And life is beautiful......I was at uni and had not heard of the film at all and went along in the middle of the day, hungover with my boyfriend and his friend......they both fell asleep on either side of me.....and woke up to find me sobbing! Was so unexpectedly sad

The scene in One flew over the cuckoo's next where the chief managed to lift the sink to break the window and run.
Also the truck scene in Bridges of Madison county, I have done that scene.

Hachi a dogs tale. I cried that much the cat hid under the bed

Also blue is the warmest colour
Inside out
