I dont think I've ever done any heavy crying during a movie. But misty eyed/a few tears, yes.
-Titanic
-The Plauge Dogs
-Edward Sissorhands
-Bridge to Terabithia(they made that look like such a happy kid movie too )
-A Dog of Flanders(anime version)
(Watched the old live-action one a couple months after watching this one. It got to the end and I was expecting the same ending and started getting all misty eyed again. But then it ended up being a happy version. Just got mad then. lol)
Thats all that I can think of right now...

Oh my. Thats a very sad movie!Terastas wrote:...and Powder.
Pan's Labyrinth always makes me cry when the faun tells her that she messed up and can never come back and is stuck in the human world. Along with several other parts in the movie.
By the way, fredriksam, I love how you always alphabetize things.
You are the only light there is for yourself my friend

"Flight of the Fireflies" was pretty sad. The two kids struggling to the very end.
"Angela's Ashes" One word....Depression
"Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon" It was a tragedy that the two lovers could not be together and the youth jumping over mountain top, as you don't know exactly what happens, whether the magic was real enough for a wish to be granted for such a fantasy world as that.
"Last of the Mohegans" This was a very emotional movie at the end. A son is lost as the father walks his final days knowing that his people have been extinguished.
"The Last Samurai" It was a terrible battle between tradition and progression. And knowing the history around the actual people, I know that he did die from his wounds on his trip back to America. Gun powder poisoning was common in those days, especially from those types of weapons. One shot would kill you without amputation.
"My Left Foot" An artist loses his hands, the source of all his income and ability to paint powerful images, and has to learn how to make due with what he has left.

I agree with you there that wasn't worth my dime.Silverclaw wrote:The cat sequence of Allgo Non Troopo got me all teary.
I also cried at the end of Premonition. Right when I realized I wasted an hour and 40 minutes of my life

Wasn't it instead that he was born with a severe form of cerebral palsy that left him with a speech impediment and unable to move anything but his left leg? I actually thought that was kind of touching and lighthearted.Avareis wrote:"My Left Foot" An artist loses his hands, the source of all his income and ability to paint powerful images, and has to learn how to make due with what he has left.
Hmm. . . It didn't necessarily make me cry, but I'm surprised nobody has mentioned One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest yet.
And I'll confess that, yes, I did get a little teary-eyed during the second hospital scene in The Eye. You know, the one with Yingying? That will stick with me for life.

One picture had me bawling, practically- at the end.
It was "Mists of Avalon", when Avalon faded away, to be replaced with the invader's religion.
Yeah, I'm Pagan. The sense of loss in that scene is overwhelming. Everybody's loss...not just Arthur's and Morgan's.

'Der Untergang' is by far the most depressing movie I've ever seen. Highly recommended.
I also thought the movie 'Alone in the Dark' was sad, but thats a other kind of 'sad'. Not recommended, obviously.

I never saw that as being sad. Yeah, the last image of the only happy moment in his life was when he played with his slay, Rosebud. It's not exactly a spoiler if anyone didn't see it. But yes, it was a sad movie.ravaged_warrior wrote:Nobody has mentioned Citizen Kane.
One movie I remember as being sad was Cocoon 2. After the old man's wife saved a kid from being hit by a car she ends up in a near death comma. The old man, who knows he's dying of cancer, gives some of the alien life force so that she can live as long as him, but then decides to give it all to her so that she can live a better life. She wakes up. There's a sad scene, as she realizes what he did for her. The old man dies by her bedside.
There are other sad elements in this movie. There usually is with movies about the elderly.
Another movie that no one has ever mentioned to my surprise is Million Dollar Baby. It's a type of movie that you only want to watch once. It's such a good movie. It's quite the emotional roller coaster in the end. Tragic.
Another movie that has boxing in it is the last Rocky movie. I thought that was kind of sad, the issue with his wife and a fighter realizing that he is old. He was living in a dream that he couldn't get out of. He stuck to doing something he was born to do. Fighters fight, no matter the age.

Well, to be fair, I only got to see the end, whereI never saw that as being sad. Yeah, the last image of the only happy moment in his life was when he played with his slay, Rosebud. It's not exactly a spoiler if anyone didn't see it. But yes, it was a sad movie.
SPOILERS!
his wife gets fed up and leaves him, he fires his best friend, and he dies alone and unhappy. And THEN they bring out the sled and burn it without anyone being able to understand what Kane had meant. No, it isn't an out and out crying sad movie, but the final third of the film is depressing and anticlimactic. It was very well done, however.
End spoilers.
I really need to see the entire thing at some point.

Not that this is a debate thread, but I think the significance of the sled was his childhood innocence -- the time before he'd had any exposure to the worlds of business and politics. The sled was just the one thing he had left of his childhood, so it might've also signified that he was still lost in a consumerist mindset when he died.Avareis wrote:I never saw that as being sad.

Thing is that the whole movie is an obituary, so it's not really that sad to watch. It's not a spoiler to say that Kane dies in the movie.

Citizen Kane is a Must See if you want to understand the artform of Making Movies...not just critiquing them. So is the surprise flick called "Casablanca" (It was just a "B" movie when it came out). "African Queen" is another masterpiece of cinema, as is "Lonely are the brave".Terastas wrote:Not that this is a debate thread, but I think the significance of the sled was his childhood innocence -- the time before he'd had any exposure to the worlds of business and politics.

Citizen Kane held the record for the longest continuous pull-focus scene in any picture, ever. It still holds that record for Black and White pictures.
It was directed by Orson Welles ( who also starred as Kane) and financed by Howard Hughes.
Black and White pictures are the most difficult film format, in that you must hint at colors with gray-tones, and the actors have to be good: there is no distraction from "mood-colors" to set the atmosphere in the picture. It has to be the acting that does it. Black and White is a separate art-form compared to color pictures, and the two do NOT mix well.
I offer as example: any motion picture in Color watched on a black-and- white TV comes off as "missing something"; while a picture made in black-and-white views as complete and intact.
Those of you who like movies as an ART form, try some of the old black-and-white offerings; you'll see what I mean.
