I guess you already figured out the point of this thread, but for those who are a bit.... slow, here is THE rule:
Name the saddest moment you`ve seen in a movie.

I`d had to say it`s when Tom Hanks (in Cast away) loses Mr. Wilson in the middle of a sea (Mr. Wilson is the volleyball)

The English Patient, when she is dying in the cave of swimmers, and her flashlight goes out, and all you can hear is her ragged breath... * sob*
and it is even sadder when he comes back to find her body and carries it out into the desert* crying hysterically now*

can i just say that i don't think this thread is a very good idea...a lot of movies have their sad moments at the end and i think that this thread might give away a lot of endings.

The second half of 'Dancer in the Dark'.

A depressing, low budget musical starring Bjork.

Never before or since has a film reduced to nerve-wracking convulsive sobs...

Good songs though

Pah, you people watch some crap movies (accept english patient)

One flew over the cuckoos nest is the ultimate tear jerker makes me cry every time by far and away Jack Nicholson's best performance

If you want to cry at a film try Grave of the Fireflies

Well there is a way of keeping this thread going

You can name the film but you can put the description of the scene you are thinking of as the same colour as the background. The only way to see it is to highlight the white text.

This gives spoilerphobes the opportunity so see the films but avoid having them spoiled like so....

The kisses at the end. Bittersweet for sure.



Unless you like the shooty ones... then the End of "Platoon" maybe... or most of "Saving Private Ryan".

OK... sorry... Scracth the last two... I win. This is the saddest movie I've ever seen. Absolutely brilliant.


I refuse to see it again because it is too sad.

I totally agree. That movie was so depressing!

Anyone seen Hearts in Atlantis? I'm pretty sure I cried when I saw it! (But then again, I cry in most movies! ) Anthony Hopkins was fantastic in it though!

I think that's the only movie I cried openly in the cinema... and I'd read the books before, so I knew what was going to happen

I suppose reading about death penalty is different from seeing someone on the chair, even in a movie!!

'Dancer in the Dark' beats 'The Green Mile' hands down for prison-based weepies.

Bjork is Slema, a Czech immigrant in 1960s America toiling away in a factory to save for an operation to save her son from going blind like she is. To escape from the harsh realities of life she frequently sees the world like a musical.
(for spoiler-filled description highlight below)
When her desperate landlord steals her savings she is forced to batter him to death to get it back. After depositing the money, she is arrested and refuses to defend herself in court. Despite her decision she falls to pieces during her execution (screaming in despair in a very Bjork way). Only when her friend tells her that her son's had the operation that she imagines she's in a musical, sings, her voice soaring. Interrupted by the sound of her neck snapping as she is hanged

¬
No matter how much I cried, there ARE times I believe its a happy ending...

Happy ending?!

It was a good few years ago when I saw thhat movie so I don't remember it that well, but if I remember correctly, it's not a happy ending!
