Favorite sad movie

(1/7) > >>

BelAir:
(aside from Brokeback Mountain)

I was in the mood for a good cry the other day and rented Out of Africa...  what are some other favorite tear jerkers?

Another one for me is Terms of Endearment.

hi BelAir
good question

'where the day takes you' is a good one.  it's older, but it's about a bunch of homeless kids.
'american history x'....that's a shocker, and gross, but very sad too.
'missisippi burning'....again, shocking and sad
'a time to kill'
'amistad'.....very very sad.
'the good girl' ....that makes me sad
'girl interrupted'

i'm sure i'll think of more.

BBM
Out of Africa
Romeo & Juliet (Franco Zefferelli version)
Moulin Rouge! (the Kidman/McGregor version)
Gladiator
Silkwood
The English Patient
Glory
Revenge of the Sith (SW III)
Oscar and Lucinda

I'll think of more, I'm sure.

My Life as a Dog
All About My Mother
The Lives of Others
Pan's Labyrinth

Hmmmm...  I see a pattern emerging.  I guess I don't like the way Americans do tragedy so much.  I always find American tragedies over-the-top and manipulative.

You may think this is daft, but only two movies have ever made me cry. One was when I was a kid and I saw "The Incredible Journey" about 2 dogs and a cat. This was based on a true story. (The modern day version is Homeward Bound which isn,t anywhere near as good) and Watership Down.
BBM didn,t make me cry atall.
