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??

I,Daniel Blake.

Still makes me furious and sad to think in 2019 this is still happening.
Brilliant film but devastatingly sad

Oh god, this film is 20 years old but “Lilya-4-ever”

I recall coming out the cinema and considering letting a bus hit me as that film takes you to a dark dark place.

Around the same time I watched “La Vie Revée des Anges” (the dream life of angels). God, that was another impressive but unbearably bleak film.

Both 1999 releases. Both foreign language. I was a terrifically intense teen.

Marley and me
Lion

Seven pounds

Dumbo. It's horrific. Makes me want to give up my entire life, jump into the TV screen and spend the rest of eternity with my loving arms around a cartoon baby elephant.

[DoYouLikeBasghetti]

Agree with grave of the fireflies.

But for me, silent running (omg the little fucking broken robot ).

[xTinkerhellx]

Hacksaw Ridge.

Cried throughout, then cried more when I realised it was a true story.

Genuinely tear up just thinking about it.

United 93 (although the other film Flight 93 about the same events comes in a close second). It doesn't matter how many times I watch it, how much I know it's a depiction of a real life event. The calls to say goodbye, the desperate attempts to get control of the plane - I'm crying now.

(United Airlines Flight 93 was the plane that went down in Shanksville, Pennsylvania on 9/11)

City of Angels - watched in the cinema when pregnant with DD and sobbed. I cried just thinking about it afterwards.
I’ve watched it several times since, thinking it was just hormones. Nope still sobbed.

[Branleuse]

Lion.
Bridge to terabithia

[HalfBloodPrincess]

If anyone i know in real life is on here they’ll probably recognise me from this, but for me it’s One flew over the cuckoos nest.

The ending is so sad, that brilliantly cheeky and charismatic man reduced to a zombie in a shell. And the fact is was standard procedure to actually perform lobotomy’s on people with mental health issues, I can’t even talk about it without getting upset.

Me before you

I sobbed lol

[IWantMyHatBack]

A Monster Calls had me crying from about 10 mins in. So sad.

A Requiem for a Dream. That film broke me.

Lovely Bones.

There are loads though. Going to watch Grave of the Fireflies again soon.

[MrsW85]

I sobbed watching coco the first time I saw it! A star born ( gaga ) made me a horrible snotty mess. I still cry listening to some of the songs 😭😭

[IHaveBrilloHair]

Holding the man made me sob.

[MrsDaveGrohl78]

Moulin Rouge made me cry... I watched it a year after my fiancé had died though so maybe not wise!

[MacavityTheDentistsCat]

Shadowlands

[FlagFish]

Remains of the Day. Superb performances from Emma Thompson and Anthony Hopkins. I cried and cried.

[Xanadu58]

Terms of endearment

[Theunsungsong]

Still traumatised by a Dog's Purpose. The dog just kept dying in increasingly tragic circumstances. It wasn't fair!

Dying mothers and abandoned children, ha! Just people doing acting.

[HeyArthur]

The boy in the striped pyjamas 😢

[Klobluchar]

Saving Mr Banks. I cried buckets at this, such a beautiful film.

[Snappedandfarted2019]

The Notebook, The Book Thief, Boy in the stripped Pyjamas, Lovely Bones, Lovely Still, The fault in our stars to name afew

[Stardustinmyeyes]

War Horse
Dr Zhivago

[Tiptopj]

The opening of "up" gets me every time.
The film I've cried the most at was one of those true life films about a couple who adopted a baby girl but then the birth mother wanted the baby back and it turned into a long court case over who the little girl should live with. I sobbed for hours

[golddustwomen]

Hatchii. Dear god I cried for hours
Hotel Rwanda
The impossible
And bird box make me cry at the end. Hideous sobbing cries. I was distraught. My oh didn't know what to do!
