What is the Saddest Film you Have ever watched?

[Cliff_m85]

Brokeback Mountain.

Most Pixar films have almost made me cry at some point.

UP has been the only one to make me do so, though I did cry 2 times. More than any other movie.

 

[ae86gamer]

The ending of The Curious Case of Benjamin Button made me cry. That and Seven Pounds.

 

[RanD00M]

The Shawshank Redemption.I don´t know why but it makes me sad.In a good way.

I just remembered I never watched UP... And that by "most films" I actually meant 2 or 3...

Metal Gear Solid 3

I cried at the end, too. The graveyard scene.

(The gameplay/cutscene compilation, uploaded to youtube.)

Sad as in pretentiously pathetic? (BloodRayne)

Or sad as in Old Yeller shot in the face? A film focused on being all sad through to the end is one that carries the "artsy" title, a genre I avoid with a violent fervor, and since feelings are for girls I can't really say I've seen a movie like the one you're asking for.

But not wanting to be suspended for trolling, I'll be honest and say that if I must apply the "sad movie" label to one I'm guessing it's a toss-up between Empire Strikes Back and Wrath of Khan.

 

[JugglerPanda]

I cried at the end of Ginger Snaps. It probably isn't the saddest movie of all time, but I don't watch a lot of movies.

 

[batuea]

Requiem for a Dream. That movie is a depressing mind fuck.

As my friend does, watch it ONLY HALF WAY THROUGH. Turn it off and believe everything was happy and fun, and nothing ended badly, then light up a bowl or 2.

Only three movies have made me shed actual tears:

1. the first time I finished watching West Side Story-when i was 10. yes, I saw it coming, yes, I knew it was based on Romeo & Juliet but...still! the first time! damn! D:

2. as said before, those devasting ten minutes in UP. i don't know how Pixar had me shamefully sniffling over animated characters I'd only known for freakin' SECONDS. but they did.

and then the big one

3. PAN'S LABYRINTH. SADDEST. ENDING. EVER. i was practically bawling by the end. the stupid piano lullaby didn't help, either. -_-

other than those three, i just mostly laugh at so-called "tragedy" in movies.

...except Schindler's List. i did get choked up on that one. curse the humanity! *shakes fist*

 

[Andalusa]

Schindler's List and Saving Private Ryan. Also The Lion King and Bambi.
All so sad, each in their own way.

 

[initialdelay]

E.T.! When I was five years old. Even then didn't cry (no film ever has) but my little sister bawled her eyes out, which made me laugh. Yes I feel a little guilty now

 

[metalhead467]

Zombieland. When Tallahassee's real past was revealed... ='(

 

[JC175]

A Swedish film called As it is in Heaven (Sa som i Himmelen). The ending manages to be the most depressing, uplifting, climatic, and closing scene while coming so close to but never touching cliche. One of the best films I've ever seen.

 

[Simricard]

The only movie that has ever really made me cry is Seven Pounds, and I will never know why.

Nail on the head there, it's a brilliant film but I was crying for the last 20 minutes, dunno why it affected me that much :S

 

[cthulhu257]

Grave of the Fireflies.

 

[zombflux]

When I see "sad movie" I read "boring movie".

:\

 

[goofiegirl2002]

Seven Pounds.

 

[historybuff]

Grave of the Fireflies made me cry. Which I was not expecting. I did all right until that bit...

Spoiler

...where he buried his sister. I did okay until he put her in the basket and then he stops before putting the lid on and looks at her. And I cried.

World War Two movies about the holocaust are really depressing.
