The Saddest movie you have ever seen

[Humble Grapefruit]

Two pages in and no mention of The Road?
Seriously this movie is so depressing and sad it is beyond belief.

I went to see this at a draft house with like 5 other guys and we all stopped eating our meals because it was so depressing.

Just posted before reading yours. I also stopped eating while watching it. Aferwards I just kind of wandered around my house, no direction, just thinking about what I watched.

Patch Adams is heart-breaking to me. It seems counter-intuitive for a movie about a clown doctor, but it's sad near the end (you know what happens if you watched it).

The Boy in the Striped Pajamas. It's about a little boy who's dad is a colonel in the army so they have to move so he can be close to work. One day he sees a boy on the other side of the fence near their house, he's wearing striped pajamas. The two boys become friends through the fence.

Anything else would spoil how it's the saddest thing ever.

 

[Deus Ex Machina]

I cried hard at the end of Iron Giant, The Bucket List, and Saving Private Ryan.

I have never seen UP before but that video had me drowning in tears.

The correct answer to this question is every movie where the dog dies.

No amounts of Hitler rants or Fegelein shenanigans could soften the blow of this film...

I think a film that manages to make you feel sorry for Hitler & Friends is doing something right.

When I watched it I didn't feel sorry for him, I saw an increasingly distressed madman going madder, while the people around him acted out their own forms of escapism to avoid the realization that they were all fucked.

Still a great movie, but sympathy wasn't the feeling I got for Hitler.

Up until I saw 'Buried' I really disliked Ryan Reynolds, just thought he was another bland pretty boy. But man, that movie completely changed my view on him and hurt like a *****. I finally decide I like the guy, only to be punched in the heart. Ouch.
The Professional isn't the saddest movie ever, but I still tear up every time the ending comes up and when that Sting song starts to play. Such a spectacular movie.

I cried watching Forrest Gump.

That movie did funny, touching, and sad all so well. I love it.

Saddest movie I've ever seen? Transformers....unless you meant emotionally for me sad.....

 

[Captain Epic]

One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. It is such a great movie and a lot of it is somewhat lighthearted, but that sure changes later in the movie.

Saishuu Heiki Kanojo, or Saikano for short.
That shit ruined me for days.

 

[ssssuuuullll]

Even though it wasn't a movie, the Jane scene from breaking bad was very depressing and Walt's character was depressing as well.

 

[Darth Rahu]

The Green Mile and Forest Gump.

It's not hard to make me cry at a film, but the film that made me the absolute saddest was Schindlers List. Especially that scene Liam Neeson does, if you've seen the film you know what I'm talking about.

I don't know if any other film will ever beat that one.

Definitely yes. I was a goddamn mess through that scene.

Runner up has to go to The Iron Giant.

 

[Dafttechno]

Surprising considering it was an Adam Sandler movie, but I'm going to have to say Reign Over Me. I think it is his best non-comedic role. Just seeing his character's sublime devastation that has caused him to completely disconnect from life, just existing, not living.

 

[onewheeled]

Requiem for a Dream, no question.

I'd link you guys to the final scene.. but I just can't. I don't want to put myself through that again, and I definitely don't want to share the misery with everyone else.

I'm happy I watched that movie, though. It may have been emotionally draining and depressing, but I'll be damned if it wasn't the most beautiful film I've ever seen.

 

[Casual Shinji]

All the major ones have already been mentioned, so I'll just throw in The Land Before Time.



Everthing that happens is made even more tragic being set against the backdrop of a dying world.

Bridge to Terabithia. Expected a fantasy film for kids. Nothing too deep. Left practically sobbing my eyes out for the last half hour.

Also I expected more Zooey Deschanel from that film. That too made me sad.

This shit, i could barely handle watching it :'(

 

[Klumpfot]

If I made a list, it'd include Requiem for a Dream, Grave of the Fireflies and The Wrestler, all of which have been mentioned at least twice. So I'm going to recommend a movie that made me feel so down that I could barely sleep after seeing it.

The Girl Next Door.
Do not fucking watch it unless you feel like you hold humanity in too high esteem.
