Yeah, there's probably a thread way back somewhere, but I don't recall seeing one. Pay It Forward Michael Phenomenon What Dreams May Come Thats all I can think of for now. I know theres lots more, I just can't think of anymore. Oh wait, the classic sad movies...Old Yellar and The Yearling.

In reply to homer15, #5: The Notebook. Chick flick, and sure to at least get your eyes watering, if not full out balling your head off. No seriously, I heard people crying, loudly at that, in the theatres when I saw it. Hah, even my ex was crying a little bit, but she was embarassed so she kept trying to stop.

In reply to libtechbrder, #9: Yeah, that's a good point. Especially when he says something like "I try to live my life so that I am worthy" or something like that.

i cried during the matrix reloaded. but thats because of what it was doing to a promising franchise. but seriously. big fish edward scissorhands magnolia is depressing, but... i dunno. offputting things happen which kind of ruin the whole depressed-ness.

In reply to homer15, #12: I am Sam was sad because it was the worst performance by Sean Penn that I've ever seen. And he's done some stinkers. But I would say the saddest film would be Titanic, because it made me want to cry. From hatred.

What Dreams May Come (Williams wasn't that bad in this movie, BTW.) And hey, the end of Braveheart was actually pretty sad...

Parker

I thought Memento was sad. I know you may be thinking "WTF?" But if you just watch it closely, you can see there is a layer of melancholy in the movie.

Another "WTF? How is that sad?" movie is Donnie Darko. Don't ask, it was just dark and sad.

Seven was sad as well. But I can't say why without spoiling anything.

The United States of Leland. Great movie, but the whole movie has this very subtle depression feeling to it.

Finding Neverland. I was surprised, thought the whole thing would be a bit more lighthearted. Quite good, but sad.

In reply to chris_harry, #25: That post, and the lack intelligence in that post, made me cry my fucking eyes out. So incredibly sad. I pray for the future. But I have no faith in the current generation. So I cry even harder.

For me: Forrest Gump Life As A House Pay It Forward Gladiator Saving Private Ryan

Yeah, "What Dreams May Come" definately is the first film I think of when you mention something sad.

I actually just got home from seeing "Garden State", which extracted a tear from me but was ultimately pretty upbeat at the end and had a fair few laughs interspersed with it.

"Gallipoli" is one that would probably leave you feeling more frustrated than sad, depending on your point of view. I certainly find it UPSETTING to say the least.

But I have to rate as the sadest film I've seen thus far - "The English Patient". When he comes out of that cave... damn, pass the tissues.
