Saddest film you've ever watched

Got to be the first part of 'UP' - if you've not seen it, it encapsulates a relationship in such a powerful but simple way it's almost cruel of the film makers to do this. . . . .

Watched 'Saving Mr Banks' on DVD this week and that was a bit of a tear jerker - great film if you're old enough to know about the Mary Poppins film.

:driving: :thumbsup:
 
OK, top secret, don't tell anyone but.......


its a wonderful life.

Always have to take a gentlemans moment at the end!
 
I Am Legend when Sam the dog dies, it's definitely dog thing - gets me every time

I find myself getting a lump in my throat watching all sorts of things nowadays. I think it must be something to do with having a wife and/or children, or just being emotionally invested in life and it's trappings - you feel loss, or heartache, or disadvantage and so on as if it were you.

Agreed, think it's having kids, I don't remember crying at anything before my kids were born but there is definitely something that changes once you have that emotional bond and responsibility. It's also the first time you truly appreciate everything your parents did for you!

Warhorse, Turner and Hooch (thank The Lord for the pup at the end!)

And my girls won't let me watch Marley and Me!
 
None - I honestly can't think of a single film that's made me cry or be tearful..........I must be odd with a heart of stone LOL.

I was quite sad when I watched Harry Pothead 1 as he didn't die at the end I secretly hoped he would even though I knew there were loads more installments).
 
The Railway Children... "Daddy, my Daddy!"

Welling up now, just writing the words. It's supposed to be a happy scene but it destroys me every time.

Bing - I think you nailed it. I was never really emotional until I met my wife - and then marriage and kids just made me more so. When I'm watching Maidstone United, barking out all the testosterone-charged chants and screaming horribly at the Wonka in the black (or something close to it), I will occasionally remember Jenny Agutter's reunion scene and that shuts me up completely.
 
Andrew spooky....my ex mrs used to say the exact same thing!!! She used to tell herself not to cry and she couldn't help herself!! And she was as hard as nails!!
 
I saw Jenny Agutter once in Cornwall, walking on the cliffs above Kynance Cove. Got a nice smile and "hello" off her. Funny, but all I could think about was her swimming in the nuddy in that "Walkabout" film - forgot all about the "Daddy my Daddy" thing. :)

I'm surprised Watership Down hasn't been mentioned!

I was five when that came out in 1978 and I cried my eyes out at the cinema watching it and I was telling the mrs about it because it was on the telly the other day, agree its certainly sad.
 
Titanic for me, blubbed like a baby which for me is odd, it's normally only animal related sadness, I think it's because its a true story.

Saw Titanic at the cinema & bought the DVD when it first came out, never been able to watch it though :(
 
Watched Sole Survivor the other day - true story about a US Navy Seals op that goes completely tits-up. Not really sad until the credits when they flash up the names & ages of the real people who lost their lives, over pictures of them with their brothers-in-arms, wives, children & families
