Blackhawk Down fucks me up.

 

Lots of movies are sad, but it's sometimes the animated ones that are so heart wrenching. This scene from the Iron Giant makes grown men cry, this truly is a masterpiece of a movie. Sadly, it's very underrated and not many people know about it. I highly recommend it.

Vin Diesel is the voice of the Giant too believe it or not and he was perfect for the role. The events leading up to the missile scene really make this moment very moving.

 

And very sad....

 

Yeah that was a downer, not many will know the movie or that Superman was int it but it was good.

 

That opening from Pixar's 'Up' got me damp-eyed.

That's the closest I've been to crying over a movie since I ET died when I was a kid, haha!

 

x2 on Grave of the Fireflies...I talked my G/F into watching it - "It's kind of like a Miyazaki film. Ghibli put it out, so you might like it..."

Hachi was pretty sad too...

 

I have three,
Philidelphia - bitter sweet ending, but sad.
a documentary called "the art of the steal", about a collection of art in, oddly, Philidelphia. ( doc from 2009)
And dear zachary..... messed up, frustrating, and sad.

(It also got a bit dusty in the theater when Wilson drifted away)


All streaming if you have netfilx right now.



Damn it, ok one more...... empire of the sun.

 

Hachi: A Dog's Tale was tough for me. Story of a dog that meets his master each day at the train station when he comes home from work. Man dies of a heart attack, and dog remains at station waiting. Based on true story. They have a stature of the dog at Tokyo train station. Also, Eight Below as a tough one. Gotta watch both if you're a dog lover.

 

Someone probably said this already, but "Pay it forward" got me choked up a bit.

 

Hachi. Sadest movie ever involving a dog. But it was good

 

marley and me for sure

 

Chaplin's 'City Lights'

 

That is a good and sad movie, often people forget the more dramatic side of Chaplin.

 

The Girl Next Door (2007)

Not the one with emile hirsch

sad sad fucked up movie

 

Where the red fern grows. gets me every time
Saving Private Ryan
Braveheart
I'll think of more

 

Is that the same story a "an american crime" with ellen page? That movie was messed up.

 

Nice thread, some great flicks mentioned for sure, but the one that always gets me is "The Champ", a great boxing movie from way back in '79.

It was shown to have the "strongest emotional response" after shown to viewers of over 250 movie clips.

If you've ever had a parent die, and have a heart, it's heartwrenching.

*Don't watch the clip if you think you may want to watch the whole thing.

Well reading up on it, the plots seem sorta similar but no, different movies.

It's definitely the most fucked up, saddest movie, I've ever seen.
