The Color Purple
The Straight Story
Europa, Europa

I always cry in It's A Wonderful Life and To KIll A Mockingbird too, though I wouldn't call either of them sad movies.

I have turned into a baby recently and cry at the drop of a hat. Here is my list, there are more out there that I have forgotten I'm sure.
Dumbo (The "Baby Mine" scene gets to me everytime)
StepMom
The Notebook (I cried when Noah convinced her to stay with him, his little speech gets me everytime)
Brother Bear
Schindler's List
Autumn in New York
A Walk To Remember
Sleepless in Seattle
Green Card (So horribly cheesy, but it is so sweet at the end)
Remember the Titans (my brother died in a car crash in that same model car so that might have something to do with it)
Black Hawk Down
The Patriot
Braveheart
etc...

Undiscovered---Your choices rock. Truly two of the saddest movies ever made: Bang the Drum Slowly, Brian's Song (okay a TV movie).

I also (embarrassingly) agree with Titanic. I was haunted and devastated for days.

Of the Disney movies: Bambi. I never get over his mother's death. The movie ends happily with his own offspring being born, and I'm STILL cryin' over mamma.

Other brilliant choices you've mentioned: Glory, Terms of Endearment, Schindler's List. I would also add Million Dollar Baby.

Sophie's Choice may be the all-time winner though, for me. Relentlessly sad.

Any movie that involves an animal dying =(
Where the Red Fern Grows, had me bawling in front of my entire 6th grade class.
Old Yeller =(

Requiem for a Dream gets me everytime I see the end montage and hear the music.

The Last Best Year

10 minutes in I was crying throughout the entire movie.

The Elephant Man
The Piano
The Pianist
Nicholas and Alexandra
Legends of The Fall
Glory
House of Sand and Fog

Those are the sad films I'm thinking of at the moment.

Man on Fire made me cry buckets. So did Antwone Fischer.... And I agree with The Notebook and Love Actually.

CM2,love that you included "Who will Love My Children"! That is a bawlfest and Ann Margaret was amazing...I'd add "Love is Never Silent" w/ Mare Winningham from TV as well..

Color Purple makes me weep...
Requiem for a Dream makes me sad long after it's over. Haunting!

"Testament", (1983), which starred Jane Alexander, Kevin Costner, a very young and adorable Lukas Haas, and Rebecca de Mornay, is one of the most devastating movies I've ever seen. It's about the aftermath of a nuclear attack on the US, but it's not all disaster-y like the films we see today about that sort of thing. It's about one family, how they deal with life after, and you spend the entire movie watching Jane deal with seeing her children slowly die of radiation poisoning in front of her. The soundtrack is also wrenching...definitely a Prozac film.

Also worth mentioning...


"Boys On The Side"

"And The Band Played On"

"Schindler's List" (Which, as a sidebar, I'd like to mention that on December 10th, the Big Apple Corps Symphonic Band will be performing the theme from, with guest soloist Tito Munoz on violin and featuring myself as the English horn soloist)

"Beaches"

"Gia"

"Girl, Interrupted"

"Hilary and Jackie"


Ok, thinking about all of these has made me want to go commit hari-kiri. Later, kids.

Adding "Hilary and Jackie" to my list (an actress portrays Margot Fonteyn in that movie!).

Also adding "The Laramie Project".

The Heart is a Lonely Hunter. That movie just kept getting sadder and sadder. Just when you thought that life couldn't possibly get worse for those people, it did.

I hate to admit it, but I actually teared up during The Iron Giant.

Posted: 10/26/05 at 4:17pm

I knew I'd slap my forhead for forgetting something...

Of course "Testament"! Definitely the saddest movie...

Saw The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants last night, and came dangerously close to crying. Several times.

Testament - OUCH!

[Aigoo]

Posted: 10/26/05 at 9:59pm

The only movies I've ever actually cried while watching (I'm telling you, I'm an emotionless...rock) are

Stepmom
Finding Neverland
Patch Adams
Forrest Gump
La Vita è bella

The Pianist gets honorable props.

Finding Neverland was pretty sad. In America is an amazing movie. Okay, so when I saw this thread (and you may laugh) but my first instinct was to say A Walk To Remember....I sobbed!

The Fox and the Hound. Saddest effing Disney movie, ever. More so than Bambi.
