POLL: Saddest movie?

Remove all ads!

Here's another poll, what's the saddest movie you've ever seen, the one that brought a tear to your eye or had you bawling your eyes out?

 

hmmm...I remember when I was like 8 and went and saw Black Beauty with some friends. I cried when the one horse died(i think it was the brown one)...that was the only movie I've seen that actually had me crying(and I don't know why).

 

"Boys on the Side". I virtually never cry in movies but the ending of that one has me wailing every time.


... I realise that it's a total chick movie and probably none of you have heard of it.

[Edit: here's a description of the movie I lifted from the internet. I fully expect men to cry- or retch- at this account of the sob-stories women go for:

"Three mismatched women--an African American lesbian, an uptight AIDS sufferer and a flirty young pot-smoker--travel across the country together in this alternately funny and moving quasi- feminist road dramedy. Whoopi Goldberg stars as Jane, a recently unemployed nightclub singer who is now looking to make a new start of it out west. After answering an ad from a young woman named Robin (Mary-Louise Parker) who is looking to share the driving on a road trip, they hit the interstate and embark on a remarkable journey that transcends distance and geography. Passing through Pittsburgh, they use duct tape and a baseball bat to rescue a friend of Jane’s (Drew Barrymore) from her drugged out and abusive boyfriend. Now on the lam, the three friends traverse a landscape of revelation and self-discovery in Boys on the Side, a powerful character study about three women who persevere despite personal tragedy and unflagging obstacles. Directed by Herbert Ross, this one is a must-own for fans of quality filmmaking and terrific storytelling."

I'm sniffling just thinking about the ending...

nope never heard of it hehe. I remember when I saw Pearl Harbor with some of my posse last May. People were actually crying when Danny died. I was the only one laughing I think. Weird.

 

Armageddon at the end ..
man i'm weak

 

Hehe I've never heard of it either
Well I dunno, I tend to get a bit emotional when the bad guy in the movie dies or gets to be made fun of.

Seriously though, when watching a movie, I always feel the presence of the cameras and and the efoorts of the actors and the stupidities in the plot or set so it's very rare I get moved by a movie.

 

Titanic.

(obviously?)

 

Well - I cried the first time I saw "old Yeller" when I was a little kid.

I also got a little misty when I saw "My Girl" when Macauley Caulkin died...Caveat: It was on the plan ride home from Russia and I hadn't slept in 46 hours...

 

I remeber when I was little I cried a lot during ET

"Blow" bring's a tear to my eye at the end. I lived a minor version of that life.

 

I am a real sucker when considering tear moments in movies, I fall in the trap virtually every time. Armageddon had me crying like a new born babe when they were about to be launched and that little boy saw his father on tv and so on. But I must say that I dont cry on the super cry occasions, didnt cry a drop during Titanic and neither did I during Pearl Harbour (could have been because it was a shitty movie all in all though). But generally am I a cry baby when watching movies.

 

Bambi, when her mother gets shot

 

CL: Bambi is a male

Two films made me cry: Little Mermaid and Planes, Trains and Automobiles.

 

oops, I remember now, he stands up all magnificaent at the end

I forgot cos the film is so sad, I haven't been able to watch it for so long

 

I cried when I watched Beaches for the first time, and the second time, and the thrid time, and so on.

Baldak can't watch Dumbo without getting misty

 

When I was 10-ish, I saw Homeward Bound (two dogs and a cat travel across the US, or something), and I was in floods when the golden retriever came running out of the woods at the end.

"boys on the side" was a great movie, i especially loved the song. i cried in another w. goldberg movie though - "the color purple". it's actually a steven spielberg's movie.

 

I'd have to agree with Armageddon.

Also, Glory, which is a film about an African American regiment in the U.S. military during the Civil War. Very emotional.

 

The only movie I have ever cried in was Romeo + Juliet, but then I was in Elementary school... After that, nothing has caused more than some serious blinking. Except for the Duel of the Fates in PM... I almost get seizures when Qui-Gon kicks the bucket...

(Just got an idea for a topic... beware...)

 

Romeo+Juliet when Mercutio dies, and braveheart in the ending. The music just gets to me as that sword swings through the air
