Saddest film you've ever seen?

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??

The Pianist, it gets me every time and Adrien Broner is excellent in it.

Dumbo- no question

The Grapes of Wrath

@IHaveBrilloHair it made me really cry, it was the scene in the cafe that got me. Never watched a subtitles film before but was glued to it

I forgot at work we watched toy story 3 followed by inside out (over Christmas). Emotionally wrecked!
I cried last night watching Rex on Netflix, the scene where she is in the group and they ask her what she would say if Rex was there

To add I think there's some films that make you a bit sad, some are the odd tear
Hachi was full on bawling from not long in, the cat shot off from my lap and I woke up the next morning looking like I had been punched

Il Postino. Heartbreak!

MargueritaPink · 20/01/2019 00:03

Wind River
Of Mice and Men

Imitation of Life
Watched when I was a little girl and fell in love with melodramas.

I sobbed and sobbed towards the end. And whenever I watch it now I cry (some of it is remembering how heartbroken I was as a little girl).

Oh Christ Imitation of Life is devastating!

MargueritaPink · 20/01/2019 00:10

Geronimo- the final scene with Geronimo and the rest of the Apaches being put on a train and sent to a reservation.

Lilya-4-ever Jesus Christ there is a bit in it, where lilya is being all stoic and stiff upper lip, but then she breaks down and begs for her mama. That slays me, I can't even think about it without crying.

Raise the Red Lantern

Pemba, I don't think that Boy in the striped pyjamas is all that far-fetched. My great-uncle struck up a friendship with a guy in POW camp during WWII that lasted until the guy died decades later. OK so not a death camp but these things happened. Ordinary people lived their lives around these areas and they still had human relationships.

They Shoot Horses Don't They?

Yes the end of The Imitation Game had me sobbing in the cinema. Such an awful way to treat a brilliant man.

Kes. Heartbreaking
War horse had me choking

The Champ when I was a kid ...

MaitreKarlsson · 20/01/2019 00:17

Never Let Me Go. Had read the book so knew the plot and thought I wouldn't also cry during the film. Wrong!
Million Dollar Baby - still quite shocked
Philomena

Sophie's Choice

Babel. I was still crying two hours after it had finished.

Ribbonsonabox · 20/01/2019 01:13

I always have to look at my phone when my son has toy story 3 on and its THAT scene... sp I dont see it and cry in front of my child! Ditto with Inside Out and that pink elephant creature who's your friend who likes to play?

Ginger dying in black beauty always gets me as does Beth dying in the Winona Ryder little women.

Sophie's Choice, The Pianist, the Boy in Striped Pjamas, English Patient

And it moves beyond sad into traumatic but that scene in Under the Skin with the child on the beach made me sob hysterically and I had to turn the film off and come back to it another day. And when I went back to it I made my husband skip past all of that bit.

Ribbonsonabox · 20/01/2019 01:21

Ooh and What Dreams May Come.. sobbed throughout

slappinthebass · 20/01/2019 01:41

Lion. I never ever cry in public, except for this. To be fair, I didn't really know what it was about, and I had newborn DS on my lap when I went to see it. Bridge to Terabithia also for me. DH told me it was a fucking Narnia film and I wasn't expecting it to be so sad.
