Recommend me a sad film

[500daysofspring]

The usual week before my period sadness is hitting and I need a release.

What are your go to films if you want to cry your eyes out?

Love Story - oldie but classic

Champions - about a horse rider who became ill.

Another oldie.

Love Story

Omg I’d forgotten about the boy in the striped pyjamas. I’d only recommend this to someone I really didn’t like! 🤣 I think it scarred me for life 😢

Same. I could never watch it again. My daughter watched it in the cinema when it first came out, and at the end there was silence from the audience.m

12 Years a Slave
Schindlers List
Boy in the Striped Pyjamas

Arrival

Yes!!! Came on to say this.

Well Hamnet is a corker but god I’ve never cried as much as I did in Bridges of Madison County. ( and I’m not much of a crier )

That's harrowing rather than sad

It's not a sad story but for some reason I cry from beginning to end of The Sound of Music. I also sing. No one will watch it with me. Fair enough.

Life is Beautiful left me a wreck for days. I don't think I could watch it again.

Brief Encounter, Casablanca, Now Voyager, Goodbye Mr Chips ( Robert Donat version), first ten minutes of Up.

One life. The story of Nicholas Winton who saved mainly Jewish children just before the Second World War. Lots of ugly crying.

Portrait of a lady on fire

Another one for step mom here.

But also I love watching Changeling. I'm not the biggest fan of Angelina Jolie, but she is amazing in this.

Well the saddest film I've ever seen is A Monster Calls

A.I. Artificial Intelligence with Haley Joel Osment and Jude Law.

Up.

Train Dreams on Netflix, I was an absolute wreck!

What dreams may come

Atonement was just boring.
Sophie's Choice is harrowing!
Do you like old films? The saddest film i know is Au Hazard Balthazar. DH tried to educate the dc on film-this one devastated them. I did get questioned at school when dd said "Daddy made us watch the donkey film and I didn't like it"

Falling in Love - an oldie with Robert de Niro and Mery Steep

Shadowlands. Sobbed like a baby.
The Hours.

I saw Dr. Zhivago long ago and I always look back on that as being sad and I've never wanted to watch it all again on TV. Just two minutes at the end, with Julie Christie on a tram (?) I can manage, but not all the rest.
