    So The Champ and Dumbo are tearjerkers but for me Bambi is the saddest movie. Had to leave the room before the meadow scene..


    So what's yours?

    Death of a Superhero. Irish film, not half as well known as it should be. Heartbreaking though

    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.

    Not something I can comment on, as I've not watched all the movies.

    Song for a raggy boy, boy in the striped pyjamas, what dreams may come.

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

    The first pair above had me bawling. From my childhood, has to be The Champ. Movies with kids suffering just kill me.

    What dreams may come is about a man whose family were wiped out in a car accident. I saw it too soon after my own family were killed in the same circumstances. Perhaps it's not as sad as I remember on a personal level.

    I now know why I cry, and it's something I always do (during this scene). :(

    Dear Zachary. I bawled, so did my husband. He also cries as Empire of the Sun.
