    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

    Marley and Me.

    I just could not hold my shít together at the end of the movie :(

    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.

    Perhaps not the saddest but I seriously welled up at the end of Senna.

    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.

    The first two definately! I cried for about 2 hours after both. Haven't seen What dreams may come.

    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). :(

    **** I'm so sorry that happened to you.

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

    '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 know now why you cry, but it is something I could never do.

    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

    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

    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.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 981 ✭✭✭Stojkovic


    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?
