| More a series but Love My Way, 4th or 5th episode breaks your heart | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| More than 20 years ago I saw a film called "Summer Solstice". It starred Henry Fonda and Myrna Loy. It was about an elderly couple who have returned to a special place for them every year on the Summer Solstice. For one of them, the visit this particular year turns out to be their last. Extremely touching. A real three tissue box film. No big budget or effects. Just a beautiful story about two people in their twilight years. I was about 20 and I cried like a baby. |

| Of current new releases, "Pan's Labyrinth" is pretty sad. Not quite in tears at the end, but close. "Epic Movie" was so crap it was sad - sad to waste 90 mins of my life watching such garbage! |

| Yeah, "Leaving Las Vegas" has to be one of the saddest and most disturbing. "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" (1975) is another in the same league. "Midnight Cowboy" (1969), when Dustin Hoffman's character Ratso dies at the end, just as he's managing to fulfil his dream of escaping New York to move to Florida, that was trajic, although there were some quite comedic parts of the film, I thought. "My Own Private Idaho" (1991) had its moments. "Babel" had a sad ending, but the director's previous film, "21 Grams", was sad to the entent of morose: the 4 films above are classic great movies I reckon - sad greats - 21 Grams was just depressing. |

| Dear Teefy, Thanks so much for posting the name of that Movie. I have been keen to know the name of it for ages. And i am sorry to hear that your best friend died so young, is such a tragedy when someone dies or abuses themselves to that extent. |

| Definately Pay it Forward....I cry my eyes out everytime I that! | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Braveheart was definitely a tear jerker. I remember when I was teenager and watched "Love Story" with Ryan O'neil and Ali Mcgraw it was a another tear jerker. I guess I just dated myself). Also, another was the one with Christopher Reeve and Jane Seymore. Can't remember the title something about "Time". It was a good movie and plot and real sad. How bout Butch Cassidy and Sundance Kid. And Passion of Christ, if you didn't find it controversial (offensive). I cried through the whole thing. Dying Young another one. However, I am a very compassionate person, so you may not agree with me | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Life is a House incredible movie... extrememly sad.. but at the same time uplifting..... can recommend it highly :) |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Mine would have to be My Life, A Wonderful Life (oldie but goodie), On Golden Pond and lastly and this may not be a movie but i cried so much in the last 2 episodes, which i watched at 4am cos i couldn't stop thinking about it was Love My Way... sheer devistation!!! Had to start work late the following morning cos my eyes were so puffy and couldn't be bothered with people asking me what was wrong! | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| "Les Diables" (The Devils) (2002) was another very sad and very disturbing film. It's a French film about 2 children, a brother and sister, who are in an orphanage together. The girl is autistic and never speaks. When the home decides to separate them, because of her condition, they run away together. It's trajic - all they want is "normality" - a house, parents, love, the kind of things which most children take for granted, but which they can never have. The only love they know is for each other. In the last line of the film, the girl speaks for the first time, unaware that her brother (who is not her brother) is bleeding to death. One of the most beautiful but saddest films I've seen. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| "Children Underground" (2001) has to be one of the saddest I've seen. It was certainly amongst the most disturbing, especially as it's a documentary. It follows the lives of a group of homeless children in Bucharest, Romania, who sleep in an underground station. They get high on solvents, prostitute themselves, get beaten up, stuff like that. Macarena goes psychotic. A very powerful film indeed. "The Others" (2001), starring Nicole Kidman, was incredibly sad. Both Kidman and Alakina Mann, who plays the daughter, were brilliant in this. |

| Crystal Rose, the film you're referring to is "Leaving Las Vegas" (1995), and Elizabeth Shue player the hooker Sera. Yeah, that one's got to be right up there on the saddest of all time list. I don't know which character was more disturbing - the alcoholic who drinks himself to death, or the perpetually bashed and raped prostitute who falls in love with him. There really are people like that: my best friend died of liver failure at 35. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| To me apart from all the other Movies mentioned here, i would like to nominate, lol a film with Nicholas Cage when he plays a drunk whom is dying and he befriends a lady (forget the actor's name) and she tries to help him. He is loving out of a hotel, i think that he dies in the end. I'm sorry but i can't remember the title of the Movie but if anyone knows it, could you please post the name, thanks. |
