Saddest film you've seen

[donna]

oh yes the slow motion and gunfire did it, was fantastic. so unpredictable.

[Hugh N. Cry]

I am not sure if I can name a single British Weepie.

But I get a lump if I watch Gallipoli when Mel Gibson and the Australian Light Horse are forced over the top to death by stupid English officers. I think the music is Adaggio (again).

Also the last scene of Cinema Paradiso (Ennio we love you!)

[Carmel]

The fighting sullivans what a sad ending i always need a box of hankies for that.

[wadsy]

For an action film " The Vikings"has a very poignant ending with

the burning funeral ship & the touching score! A fine film!!

[Straff]

The end of The Big Blue. Even thinking about it starts me off.
Ring of Bright Water.

[kawolski]

Call me macarbe, but i found the end of Dead Mans Shoes particulary sad.

The original version of The Champ with Wallace Beery and Jackie Cooper.

There is a common misconception that this is a sports film ,it may have baseball as a sub- plot ,but is a fine father-son relationship film.
As a son that misses his Dad ,especially when you've done something you're really proud of and want to share. I get a lump in my throat the size of a hard boiled egg when Kevin costner says , " Hey Dad ,wanna play catch ? "

2 Eddie Woodward films, sad endings as opposed to sad films. Breaker Morant and The Wicker Man

[Tony Pendrey]

I remember back in the 80's when E.T. premiered in London they had invited a whole bunch of celebs to watch it, including Beryl Reid (Don't ask me why !).

After the film one of the reporters shoved a mike under Beryl's hooter and asked her if she had cried at the end. She said, "Oh no dear. I couldn't shed tears over a hoover attachment" Perfick.
