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??

Steel Magnolias.

Always gets me.

I blunt at Forrest Gump, especially when he says "I may not be a smart man but I know what love is"... sets the waterworks off.

Grave of the Fireflies - a Studio Ghibli anime. An IMDB reviewer called it “The best movie you’ll never want to see again”. Pretty accurate 😞

Angela's Ashes. Such grinding poverty/misery but I love the film. So human.

Sorry for double post. And oh yes - Lion. Absolutely wonderful and heart-wrenching.

Still Alice. I watched it shortly after my grandfather passed away from dementia and I sobbed from about 10 minutes in. I was mentally and physically exhausted from crying when it finished

A Dog’s Purpose.

Ladder 49.

Manchester by the sea ahhh so so so sad

Fences 8n a different sort of sad way

Ah yes, the Green Mile.. that makes me cry every time, but just a couple of tears, not ugly crying, that was just the first time I watched it. My son however, was a state after that. He buried himself under a blanket and cried for 20 mins after! (He was 13!)

Aww bless him

Oh i think Dh recorded Manchester by the sea last night

Marley and Me.
Beaches

Terms of Endearment- teenage me sobbed all the way home.
A Monster Calls- full on snotty ugly crying. Everyone in the cinema was the same. It was carnage!

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. It’s heartbreakingly bleak and sad at the end. I was depressed for days after watching it.

Oh @MrsJayy, I was gonna say Hachi! Isn't it just the saddest story!? Can't believe it's a true story 😔
I watched it before Christmas for the first time, I'd never heard of it before. I cried and cried... actually had to get the tissue box. DH thought I'd finally cracked!
I was about to go and do a clear out in DS bedroom, I perched on the arm of the sofa chatting to DH about something, then noticed Richard Gere and started watching. Needless to say, I didn't get very far with the clear out that afternoon! 😭 Ended up curled up on the sofa, hugging a cushion, in a right soggy mess!

Hatchi, is just the saddest, most amazing true story, I can't watch it now. I have an Akita, ( same as Hatchi), can't do it again.
I also have a copy of a dog's purpose and I just can't bring myself to watch it!

Ok I need to watch Hatchi..
I'm not too good with animals dying in films. I couldn't watch the new Watership Down at Christmas because I'm still scarred from watching the old version when I was little

I sobbed uncontrollably after Spartacus how embarrassing

The Champ

The pianist, I cry when he’s separated from his family, when he’s having to run away from the city being torched, when they start shooting at him, when he runs with his broke leg/foot and basically the whole way through. It’s one of those films that really made me “get” the holocaust.

I remember sobbing in this movie. I really should re watch it as it had such an impact on me.

Artificial intelligence

I can't watch it again because the last scene makes me cry so much and I'm talking like full on sobbing!

Dear Zachary. It’s a true story documentary a guy makes for his friends little boy after his friend was killed. And it gets very very very sad. I’ll never watch it again but it affects me greatly still and I’ve never cried at anything before or since quite like that. You can watch it on YouTube if you want. It’s powerful

Inside out.
I thought it would be a funny kids movie. It completely blindsided me.

I watched Life Itself last night, bloody hell I was in bits, not sure why it struck such a cord but I found it hugely profound (hadn't even been drinking).
