Saddest movie you've ever watched?

[the crispy badger]

dancer in the dark..the tearjerker movie of all tearjerkers

[liamenator]

The English Patient would probably get my vote, with The Land Before Time finishing a close second.

[Displaced Flames fan]

Some that have already been mentioned that get me...

Brian's Song
Ol' Yeller
The Notebook
A Walk to Remember
Brokeback Mountain
Pay It Forward

All of those got to me pretty good.

Where the Red Fern Grows made me cry when I read the damn book, so the movie would be a sure bet to do the same!

Someone mentioned a TV series finale....The final episode of M*A*S*H* has made me cry like a baby a half dozen times over the last 20 years. Greatest TV episode ever.

Schindler's List is the winner for me though...I didn't see the movie until about two years ago....one of the greatest movies ever made....and I bawled like a baby.

Oh man... I read that book as a kid. Old Dan and Little Ann... I cried like a baby.

Yeah, that one has gotten me time and time again, ever since I was a wee lad.

No kidding!


Saddest movie I ever saw was the Flames 2004 playoff highlight reel.

I'll have to go with The English Patient as well. Nothing like trying to convince the authorities you're not German while your lover dies alone in a cave. (oh, spoiler warning by the way)

That and Eastern Promises - I think he really wanted to be with her...

Also, that movie were be plays the kid who ages to quickly, and when he is all old, and dies.

Damn you Robin Williams.

Not odd at all, two very emotional moments. Obviously the end, and also when Derrick is clutching his chest covering up his tattoo after getting out of the shower.

[Machiavelli]

Life is Beautiful was just tragic.

[Yeah_Baby]

Being an uber nerd, when Spock dies in Wraith of Kahn I still get a tad teary.

[Ro]

I don't know about saddest, but tears were flowing at one point or another for me during these flicks:

E.T.
Hotel Rwanda
Finding Neverland
The Bicycle Thief

And yeah, the final episode of SFU had me sobbing. I loved, loved that series, and that was one emotional last 10 minutes.

Yeah that episode really got me, just a brilliant show

When Clarie sees Nate running in the review mirror, oh man waterworks

As for movies the ending of Field of Dreams always gets me its also the only time I have ever seen my Dad cry

[flylock shox]

Awakenings.

I forgot about The Bicycle Thief. Definitely up there amongst the saddest of the sad.

The Green Mile ending kills me everytime.
Million Dollar Baby
The Notebook, I cannot stand the idea of memory loss, dementia took my grandfather so the ending is just a tear jerker.

[Swarly]

end of X2: x-men united

[BuzzardsWife]

I've never cried harder than the end of The Notebook. I'm not much of a crier for movies but other movies that made me cry: The Champ, Philadelphia (I can only watch the last five minutes and cry like a baby), The Stepmother, Pay it Forward, Salt on our Skin, to name a few. Oh and in The Bridges of Maddison County, when they are at the lights, and she has her door on the handle of the truck, I just go into blubbering fits of tears.

[FlamingLonghorn]

Life is Beautiful is by far the saddest movie I have ever seen...
