Sad & Depressing Movies

"Cast Away". Tom Hanks, when he loses Wilson, especially. I also appreciate the fact that Zemeckis left the entire movie literally unscored, so there wasn't any cliche "sad music" at times of loss.

"The Pianist", also. Adrian Brody is incredible on his own, but to watch him, and his characters resolve throughout the movie, given all his incredible hardships..wow. I've never wanted to reach out and help someone so bad.

"Life As a House". Kevin Kline and Hayden Christensen's chemistry was unreal. Easily their best movie, respectfully, and a powerful one.

"Green Mile". John Coffey and Mr. Delacroix were two of the richest, most likeable characters ever, and to lose them both, as innocent as they were was heartbreaking. It's also one of those movies where you wish you could pummel someone, like Percy.

From the poll...none (especially Pearl Harbor). For me one the most saddest movies is The Great Silence. It was directed by Corbucci and had the most raw and cruel scenes ever put in a spaghetti western.

Of Mice and Men

If you can't cry to this movie, you don't have a heart.

i voted Dr. Seuss cat in the hat trully a heart breakig movie.

Its so sad how the producers exspect kids to beleive this bull$hit. I mean at the part where there all driving the car there spinning the steering weel wrecklessly like idiots and the inside shot of the car shows the car going rather straight and the all spininng the steering wheels in differenet directions. C'mon now that is F*ucking sad.

I never saw green mile.. 😬

The end of an Indian film called Anjeli, very upsetting to watch children screaming and crying at someone who has died. Kids were good little actors in this film.

ladder 49 was fairly sad and

Gonna go with Cold Mountain. Sooooo depressing.

ok none of the new movies so far ... but some really old movies have made me cry

The Green Mile is definetly the saddest. The movie was excellent, even though the book was better, which I think mainly was due to the amazingly perfect fit the actors were for the roles.

Braveheart

Fox & Hound

Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King

Land Before Time (the 1st 1)

Land Before Time.. Wow, yes that made me cry when his mother died or whatever. Braveheart of course. Fox and the Hound, YES.

The end of Pay it Forward, Saving Private Ryan (the simple facts), 21 Grams, etc.

These didn't necessarily make me cry, just were sad.

While I agree with Dean789s rant regarding Gibson's butchering, pimping, revising and degrading of Scotland's and England's history in Braveheart. I disagree with everyone who says it is a sad film.

Wallace's death helped resurrect nationalism in Scotland and helped Robert Bruce gain the support needed to gain freedom for a very young country, with little history to bind it's vastly different peoples together.

I know all too well that Wallace was in his mid-twenties, 6ft 7 tall, and built like a shithouse; and that Bruce didn't fight against Scotland, etc. However, the film always gives me an uplifting feeling.

I Know the efforts of Wallace and the many valiant Scots of the time were rewarded immediately at Bannockburn, but more importantly, forever more. They gave lives and much more to give Scotland its Nationhood for all time. So when I see the fictional charge across the fictional field at the end of Braveheart that sums up the defiance of Wallace, Bruce and the Scottish people, it makes me glow inside like no other film does.

Anyway, sad films:
Bambi
One flew over the Cuckoo's Nest
Once upon a time in the West
ET

Ladder 49. Cried 4 of 6 times of seeing it in theater.
