Re: Saddest movie you've seen?

There have been many movies that have brought a tear to my eye or two *coughs with a deep voice*. One movie that I remember seeing when I was younger and made me really sad was Old Yeller .

Re: Saddest movie you've seen?

The Boy in the Striped Pajamas is HANDS DOWN the saddest movie I've ever seen to date. We watched it in my Western Civ. class last week and I'm still kinda down from it.

Requiem for a dream is pretty sad too, but at least in that one the people more or less bring it upon themselves. I have little sympathy for drug addicts. I'll treat them as human beings and try to help them as I would any other mentally-ill person, but sympathy isn't among the list of emotions I feel when dealing with them.

I'm currently writing a paper on "Gia". It's the story of america's first real supermodel in the late 70's early 80's, she falls into drugs as well. It's pretty sad, but has absolutley nothing on "The Boy in the Striped Pajamas".

It's about a young German boy during WWII who's father is a soldier in the German Army. The boy has to move, and meets a young boy that lives on a farm in the woods far from everything, and all the farmers including this little boy wear striped pajamas all the time. It goes downhill emotionally from there. I'm pretty sure that the intention of the movie is to get viewers to kill themselves.

Flight 93 is a sad movie too. And I've heard that World Trade Center starring Nicolas Cage is sad too, although I have not yet watched that movie.

I've never seen or heard of the film 'Flight 93'

Is it a movie with a cast of actors,or is it a documentary film?

Re: Saddest movie you've seen?

Not sure if I can re-call too many sad movies. But watching Schindler's list when I was 9, I remember how horrifying it was. Horrifying because I didn't know what war was and how horrible human beings can be.

Re: Saddest movie you've seen?

It is on the whole,fact. The reenactment of the prison camps is true. The lifestyle of Schindler is pretty accurate.

That was the best film by Spielberg. It for me,was more horrific than sad.

Worth watching.

Another one on the same topic is 'La vita è bella' or Life is beautiful(A beautiful life). It's very good,but I don't know if it is dubbed or subtitled.

I remember watching a movie called Life is Beautiful or A Beautiful Life (or something along that line) a long time ago in middle school or high school. I only remember that the movie ends with the little kid riding on a tank...

By far the saddest movie for me was 3000 miles to Graceland.

Is this the non-fiction one about WW2? Movies about World War 2 (Schindler's List, The Pianist, etc) are sad, but I love fiction tragedies a lot more.

Schindler's List is profoundly sad.

Re: Saddest movie you've seen?

A now deceased member of our church helped to liberate the Dachau concentration camp, and he told me of stepping into knee-deep white grease near the cremation site.

Nuff' said.

Oh, my goodness... grease... that's... bothering... to say the least...
