My Vote:
American Graffiti II The Razors' Edge (w/ Bill Murrey) I also like Hemingway books (not the movies) because they have endings that are realistic, thus often sad. I think that we (as a nation) are bombarded with movies and TV series with so many f---ing happy endings that we start to expect our own lives to be filled with "happy endings". I know a woman who is into her third marriage, fourth child and saddled with CC debt. She takes her Prozac everyday waiting for a "happy ending". In high school, she was the HC-Queen and I think she thought life would continue to be one "happy ending" after another. "Some People never find it. Some only pretend. But me? Hey, I just want to live happily ever-after, every now and then." -JIMMY BUFFETT |

Yeah, I pretty well felt brutalized by that movie. When the big dude (Brutal?) says "Roll on one". With his voice quivering I lost the ability to contain it. I like the movie but it's painful to watch. |

I'm with the Macallan-Life is Beautiful and AI.
AI just depressed the hell out of me, and made me appreciate my kids even more, for it reminded me of how I felt about my Dad when I was a kid. And maybe sad, too, for my own lost innocence. Life is Beautiful pissed me off, too, I had to watch SPR and the flamethrower to the bunker scene a few times-"Let'em burn!". Dirty nazi MF'ers..... |

I found the Notebook more annoying and overdramatic than anything else. Though I have yet to find a single girl who has not seen it and loves it. I thought A Walk To Remember was very sad. Steve |

The Legend of 1900 pulled on the heartstrings at the end as well.
If you haven't seen it, rent it...it's in IMDB as a "foreign" film, but it really isn't. At least, not to me. |

Was watching "Beaches" in the early 90's which was supposed to be a real sad movie..It didn't faze me one bit but right after the movie ended I turned on the Ironman Triathalon from Hawaii...There was this older guy (in his late 50's IIRC) who was competing with his son. The son had Cerebral Palsy and the father had spent most of his life ignoring him. Well the Dad got older and had a change of heart and started getting close with the son. Obviously someone with CP can't compete in the Ironman so the dad rigs a special boat for the kid and pulls him through the Swim portion with the kid and his boat strapped to him..The Dad then does the 100+ miles on the bike with a specially rigged bike that allows him to take his son with him.The Dad then does the marathon pushing the kid in his wheelchair..NBC show tons of slow motion video (and the sad music) with the Dad and the son racing together..I completely lost it over that. |

I went to see it on a date when I was 18. My relationship with my dad at the time was the pits, so the movie really impacted me. I was so embarrassed to be crying with this girl sitting next to me. Anyone here ever see Go Toward the Light about the little boy who got AIDS from a blood transfusion. The end of the movie just rips the tears out of you it's so heart wrenching. Just remembering it makes me cry. |

that hit me like a brick. it was majestic and tragic all at the same time. but the absolute most gut wrenching saddest ending i've ever seen, the only movie that has ever made my throat clench up and depressed me for weeks, was "forbidden games", an old french movie about 2 kids orphaned during ww2. i've seen that movie ONCE and will never ever see it again...

I did. Wasn't impressed. The movie's message is simply that capitalism leads to sadness and that we'd all be better off as poor socialists. |

The Grave of the Fireflies
One of the few movies that had me really broken in the end. I have shed a tear here and their over a good movie... but this one above all broke my spirit for a day or two. I kept thinking about my 4 year old brother all through the movie. Their is no hope at the end of this movie, no chance at salvation for the two children... If it were directed in real life with actors it would have won numerous academy awards. It is animated, but when one realizes that it is semi-autobiographical it strikes you as something far greater than a "cartoon". It is a triumph of film. Never seen anything like it anywhere before and doubt I will ever see anything as powerful in the rest of my days. |

What a low-brow crowd!! What a bunch o' Americanskis! Ever heard of Shakespeare? About 50% of his "movies" have the most fucked up endings in dramatic history.
Hamlet- Last scene: Hamlet kills his uncle, his mother gets poisoned, his friend kills him and he kills his friend in a matter of 5 minutes. Titus Andronicus- In the last scene titus has a banquet where he kills a guy chops him up then feeds him to the guys own mother and brother. His daughter was raped and her arms cut off and her tounge cut out, a few days before, so he out of pity comes up behind her and strangles her in front of everyone at the table. Then he slays the brother and sells the woman as a slave into prostitution. (the Goth queen). The end. Romeo and juliet- Well i think everyone here knows that one. in a crypt romeo sees "dead juliet" and poisons himself, seconds later she awakes to see he kiilled himself so she stabs herself to death. Othello- Othello kills his wife for being unfaithful only to find out she was innocent so he kills himself as well as the man who tricked him. |

<sufficiently chastised> Zefferelli's R & J is one of my all time faves...but I figured I'd get flamed if I said so "For ne'er was a story of more woe, than this of Juliet and her Romeo." |
