    'Seven Pounds' is a sad one

    Anything with a sad ending involving animals, Hachi is up there. :(

    Merry Christmas, Mr Lawrence. The ending where there was silence between Lawrence and Seargant Hara during their conversation.

    I now know why I cry, and it's something I always do (during this scene). :(
    I know now why you cry, but it is something I could never do.

    Poor John.

    A.i artificial intelligence
    The teddy bear was left all alone. We had to watch it in class. And I cried for the most of the movie. All the poor kid wanted was a mother
    Angela's ashes
    The color purple
    Schindlers list
    On the waterfront

    While watching The Green Mile, I think somebody in the room was chopping onions.

    The ending of Butterfly Effect blew my mind and left me...damn

    Not sure if it's technically a film but the feature length documentary 1 Million Dubliners broke me. I sobbed my heart out. Watched with my housemate, we've known each other for years but it was the first time he's seen me cry, I don't think he knew what to do :o

    Letter to Zachary v sad plus it's a documentary. Watched it with the wife while she was six months pregnant (for the love of God do not do that).

    Je-sus!

    I would tell anyone to approach that doc with caution. It's the worst I've been manipulated into feeling since I read The Road.

    For me, Remains of the Day left me feeling bereft. What could have been……

    E.T though. Every single time. :(

    Etre Et Avoir: To Be And To Have (docu/movie)
    The little girl doing her homework and the parents not able to help because they could not read or write but the pride they showed in their 6 yr old (or there abouts)daughter because she could. Beautiful and heartbreaking scene.

    The Champ.
    No matter how many times I watch it.

    Marley and Me. I was a blubbering mess after that movie and couldn't get it together and a load of 12 year olds were laughing at me

    I've never cried at a movie, but I'm not ashamed to say that Philomena had me the closest. :(


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 392 ✭✭j80ezgvc3p92xu


    I nearly cried (nearly!) during that scene in Fury when they all decide to stay in the tank and let it become their iron coffin. So much patriotism, valour and integrity in one scene. Something else...

    Withnail and I, funniest and saddest film of all time, the soliloquy at the end is so perfect an ending, it may have been written by Shakespeare.

    Its sad,they go their separate ways and we dont know how things really ended up after the ending.Withnail(R.E.G) went on to great things after that .He become the actor he was destined to be, staring in great films like Keep the Aspidistra Flying (George Orwell adaption) and how to ahead in advertising(big bucks) and has had along successful career.The lines really do blur between Withnail and Richard E Grant.Even doing the hotel programs I still sometimes see him as Withnail,what f**ker said?
    Marwood aka Paul McGann now where did end up with all his lofty pretentiousness?

    That broke my heart, what made it worse was not long after watching it that day my uncle came home from hunting rabbits and proceeded to skin them in the garden. More than 30 years ago and I still haven't forgiven him.:D

    this is my father. Its so sad and an Irish movie that so many people that I no have not seen.


  • Registered Users Posts: 13 EmperorKuzco


    Saw the French film "Intouchables" a few weeks ago and it destroyed me. Probably the most I've cried during a film.

    Also... My Girl!
