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

Rabbits are tasty little f*ckers.

Threads, BBC film from 1983. Sad and horrifying.

It's not really a movie that should make you cry.

It's more a movie that should give you nightmares when you consider the content.

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!

You're a big softie, I thought Intouchables was hilarious and brilliant and my girl is a kiddies movie.

I did however cry for the entire second half of Hachi, probably cos it's about a dog and I don't get as sad when it's about humans.

My saddest human movie was maybe terms of endearment, especially the scene when the little boy is saying bye to mom in the hospital.

Bear, the 1988 version, fcking bawesome

In found "My name is Joe" tough going, had to choke back tears. Also some Mike Leigh films, may even have been comedies were tough going too.

There's a Japanese film, saw a trailer for it on film 4, then missed the film, don't even recal the name, just some clips from it, looked tough going, about parents but mainly the father I think, looks like its about the son being seperated accidentally at birth from the parents, looks to be about how it affected the father mostly in that the son was distant to him as there was no connection from the son to him,like the worst kind of unrequited love; from your child.

Anyone know the name?

Intouchables is amazing, love that film

It's a documentary film but The Bridge is a hard watch. It's about suicides from the Golden Gate Bridge and on Netflix.

A forgotten Michael Keaton film from the 90s "My Life" made me cry in an empty cinema when I was in college.

But nothing, nothing, had ever made me cry like The Cove. If you can watch that without crying you are a robot.

Note: I'm 42 and ive cried 3 times since I was 10. The above are 2 of them!

Lost in translation. Some about that film left me feeling gutted.and 500 days of summer.I'd say A.I aswell.any film about lonliness I find difficult to watch.

Garage without a doubt and a brave departure from comedy for Pat Shortt, one of these films you can only watch once but has to be seen to understand rural Ireland and what its like to cope with loneliness.

ROCKMAN

While the whole film would not be the saddest film ever ,For me personal the saddest moment in a film has to be the suicide scene in We Once Were Warriors.

Unreal ,soul tearing.

I quite literally nearly vomited from crying so much at those movies.

Yep, started watching Boy in Striped Pyjamas but just couldn't. I tried a couple of times, in the end gave the dvd away .

The 1984 BBC film about the aftermath of a nuclear war and how absolutely horrific it would be trying to survive trapped in the rubble of a destroyed city as radioactive fallout poisons you and everyone you care about.....

Makes you really really really really really really really really hope that there is never a nuclear war.
