    My Dog Skip - I'm not even a dog person, but that ending makes me weep every time.

    Inside Out, same as the OP. Just watched it the other day.
    The Diving Bell and the Butterfly. Also made me fairly sad for a few days.

    +1

    "Wake up Champ......wake up!!" I always get something in my eye about then
    .

    The first 15/20 minutes of "Up" were traumatic!!

    And "Glory" when they are lining up to charge the fort.

    The Killing Fields. A horrifying depiction of man's inhumanity to man.

    A. I. and Boy in the striped pyjamas. Can't bring myself to watch either of them again.

    Oh well, give me an easy life and a peaceful death.

    Not a sad film, a comedy, but when watching Trains, Planes & Automobiles when I was a kid I cried when I realised John Candy's wife was dead all along.

    Probably the first & only time I cried watching a movie.

    Another vote for Manchester by the sea, the scene where he meets his ex wife is heartbreaking.

    Also, A perfect World with Kevin Costner...not too well know but I watched it when I was a kid and it stuck with me.

    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?
    Yes sir boss.

    Surprised no one has mentioned "Watership Down"

    As soon as Bright Eyes comes on I get a lump in my throat

    My Girl. One of the first films I ever saw in the cinema. Still makes me cry.

    Of all time - Schlinders List hands down for me. The whole film is just testament to how low humanity can stoop (notwithstanding that it's also about good people who sacrifice everything to help others).

    Recently - Manchester By the Sea. Some very haunting, uncomfortable scenes in that movie.

    Honorable mention - Irreversible. Just a tragic film about senseless acts and the reality that the world is full of horrible people that get away with what they do.

    Requiem for a Dream, I won't ever watch it again and I mean that in the best way possible.

    Toy Story 3 probably saddest for me, the furnace scene really gets you.

    My Sisters Keeper is another one which gets me an I don't think has been mentioned already.

    Friend rented I Am Legend for me to cheer me up after my dog died, still can't watch it. In fairness she didn't know that scene was in and she felt terrible.

    One that always sticks in my mind is Fluke...
    Remember watching it on a double date and me and the other fella in the room were sobbing wrecks whilst the ladies involved looked at us wondering what was wrong with us...
    The last scene in Saving Private Ryan...
    Wall-E...
    Up, the 1st 10 minutes of Up explain love, loss, grief, acceptance and then loss and grief again in a beautiful, heart breaking way with never a word uttered.
    A masterpiece of storytelling, and then I saw that clip with Jamie Lawton's wasn't expecting that overlaid that ripped a sob or 10 from me!
    As already mentioned, the part in planes, trains and automobiles where Steve Martin realizes that John Candy's wife was dead.

    While you were sleeping, not that it's sad, it was myself and my 1st wife's "movie" and after I lost her I've watched it a couple of times since(in an "I can do this kind of way"... I couldn't) and it's left me in a heap.

    Plenty more too but that's enough for now.

    Manchester by the sea is heartbreaking for so many reasons. For me personally it was a tough watch, my father is a charter boat captain and is terminally ill, I'm working his boat at the minute. The whole movie just hits very close to home.

    The Fault in our Stars.
    Teenagers with cancer

    It's a really well done film and I thought it avoided a lot of cliches and cheesiness. Had me blubbering like a little baby, though.
