Saddest film you've ever seen

willmunny1990

Just watched Inside Out and Im not ashamed to say I wept.

Thought it was brilliant, very clever and probably one of if not the best animated movies I have seen, so many themes explored on a really intriguing topic. Really hits you in the right spots.

Toy Story 3 is another one, when he's giving the toys away and the inferno scene, when they all just accept the inevitable.

When I was younger Armageddon got me but not so much when I re watched it.

Green Mile is another.

So, what are the saddest most emotionally soul crushing films you have ever seen?

E.T gets me all the time.

Terms of Endearment
Still Alice
and
Schindlers List (that little girl in the red coat is forever in my brain).
Two more: Oranges and Sunshine (kind of wish I'd never watched it sometimes) and there's one with Robin Williams, have to google;
What Dreams May Come.

"Breaking the waves"
Wouldn't recommend it.
"Who will love my children?"
Sadder than sad

I forgot about this even though Ive only recently re watched it.

The end always gets me, when he's given the ring.

Children of Men is fairly depressing

It's hard to say what's the saddest. I know I've seen many.

My first reaction to your thread was:
Grave of the Fireflies
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grave_of_the_Fireflies

Recently, there was A Monster Calls:

This one was sad from its core. There's no catch. There's no twist and it still got me.

I found Seven Pounds very sad but it's one that probably depends on how ya take it:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seven_Pounds

The Fault In Our Stars was another recent (ish) one:

Oh just looking there and remembered:
Million Dollar Baby
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Million_Dollar_Baby
I remember feeling like I'd have to check all Clint Eastwood directed films after this.

There's so many more, I've probably even forgotten some that were very sad for me.

The Champ

job seeker

Simon Birch..

Braveheart and Michael Collins both always got to me despite their historical inacurracies. Indeed, I'm a hoor for a martyr

Breaking the Waves is super depressing. Emily Watson is brilliant in it though. One of the reasons I watched Oranges and Sunshine (also very depressing and sadly closely related to Irelands history of child abuse/mistreatment at the hands of 'carers').

TPF2012

Manchester by the Sea. Saddest film I ever saw, especially since I've just become a father myself.

Awe I forgot A.I.: Artificial Intelligence
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A.I._Artificial_Intelligence
It's ending is really sad but I think it needed me to have invested in the boy (robots) story.

+1 for Million Dollar Baby, really heart wrenching. I've seen it the once and I don't think I'd actually watch it again it was that depressing.

Its so sad I watched it again to see if I was in a funny mood the first time. But no, it was still as sad.
