[Indifferent Clox]

up in the air, if you've ever been unemployed for a prolonged amount of time

[ct2k]

Are we talking 'sad' or 'harrowing/depressing'?

Because like I dunno, Big Fish is a sad film, so is Eternal Sunshine. Something like Requiem for a Dream though, that is fucking utterly nightmarish, not 'sad'.

[Indifferent Clox]

Hurt Locker has some sad stuff in it.
Dr. Strangelove is pretty sad if you think about it.

Paths of Glory (another kubrik film)
Most comedies would be really sad if there weren't so much humour in them.

i.e. Harold and Kumar, drive all the fuck around to get a ffucking burger. how fucking sad, they get almost fucking killed by rednecks and shit

[Zeeboe]

The War At Home (not the TV show. This was a movie that came out in 96')

Monster's Ball

O

Brothers

[mitch_h]

Breaking the Waves
Dancer in the Dark
Make Way for Tomorrow

These are more soul crushing than sad though.

[Shaggy]

Ladder 49

Yeah like Big Fish. Fucking love that

[Fignuts]

Grave of the Fireflies.

This.

A thousand times this.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Homeward Bound

[St. Jimmy]

Grave of the Fireflies.

this movie legit made me cry.

[Lock Jaw]

Police Academy IV

[bigdaddysuperfreak]

I never thought as Big Fish as a sad film, I actually felt uplifted at the end.

[El Capitano Gatisto]

Don't know about great, but The Fall is definitely pretty good at least. Pan's Labyrinth is great and sad.

Shotgun Stories, Lars and The Real Girl, Welcome to Sarajevo, In The Valley of Elah, One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest, The Counterfeiters, Junebug, Brokeback Mountain, Shooting Dogs, No Man's Land, The Fountain.

All very good to great and quite sad.

[Droford]

Donnie Darko
My Girl

[Schlomey]

Seven Pounds
Eternal Sunshine
The Wrestler

[KayfabeMan]

The Notebook :(

I love that fucking movie, but it's just so sad.

[Hanso Amore]

My Life

Reign Over Me

If you can watch either without crying at least once, you are a fucking liar.

[BigDaddyCool]

Royal Tenebaums and Life Aquatic are both light hearted and sad.

[The Jayman]

A Walk to Remember

[Poit]

Not a movie, but the Jurassic Bark episode of Futurama.

:'(

[Buzzkill]

Homeward Bound
When Shadow falls into that sewer/pit :'(:'(:'(:'(

[ct2k]

'Uplifting sad' as opposed to 'soul destroying sad' I suppose

[ct2k]

Also, Atonement.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

Forest Gump has its moments.

[Penner]

A Walk to Remember

[Triple A]

"Lilja 4-ever" is the saddest movie I have ever seen.

Little Children
Paths of Glory
About Schmidt
Dancer in the Dark
Synecdoche, New York
Mean Creek
Revolutionary Road
House of Sand and Fog
4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days
Lonesome Jim (not overall but "inherently")
Happy-Go-Lucky (like half really happy and half sad though)

[Sixx]

Terminator 2


I'm not trying to be funny, the ending made me so sad as a kid. Bah, it still does.

[Swiss Ultimate]

The Notebook :(

I love that fucking movie, but it's just so sad.

This and Stand By Me.

[Blitz]

Little Children
Word.

[FakeLaser]

Snoopy Come Home

[Zeeboe]

The Butterfly Effect.

[Stickman]

Marley and Me.

[redoneja]

up in the air, if you've ever been unemployed for a prolonged amount of time

Up in the Air had a deeper existential funk to it besides just watching people get fired.

[Droford]

(500) Days of Summer

I felt like I had my heart crushed myself when he showed up at the party and saw she had a ring on.

Holy crap man..

[redoneja]

Lost in Translation

[James Steele]

Precious

[El Capitano Gatisto]

"Lilja 4-ever" is the saddest movie I have ever seen.

4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days


Those are are just unremittingly grim. Proper Eastern Europe "life is completely shit" stuff. A few tears squeezed their way out of my face when Lilya started dreaming about her dead little friend near the end, it was just an unbearable climax to an emotional battering of a film.

Never watching it again.

[jsroka]

The Outsiders

Sweeney Todd

Haven (if you haven't seen it, go rent it).

[jsroka]

Ned Kelly always hits me hard.
