"The Champ"

The saddest scene ever is in this move ... when the little boy is begging his father to wake up ... :cry: :cry: :cry:

It's sadder than similar scenes from "The Yearling", "Old Yeller", and "Bambi" put together.

I once saw a movie titled My People Once Were Warriors. I can't seem to find it again anywhere. Some movie titled Once Were Warriors keeps popping up that's quite different.

Anyway, it followed the life of a teenage girl until just after she committed suicide. It included the reason she did it and her mother finding out why the day of her funeral. The look on the mother's face when she read her daughter's diary and realized what happened... that's ingrained into my psyche forever.

The Color Purple is also quite heartbreaking, but it's long and drags out a bit. Hard to watch in one sitting.

This was a kid who impressed his 7th grade teacher, he was changing the world by this system that he though up through the teachers assignment proposed to the students, which I guess was Paying it forward. In the end he was stabbed by a kid in the school or some gang banger kid and died. Seems like violence has changed since then. You don't see that kind of violence anymore.

The only one I can think of off the top of my head is Breaking the Waves ... I know there's more. I'll post again later.

That one Lars von Trier did with Bjork. Apparently. I haven't seen it yet though...

Titanic.

For those who died on the sinking vessel, and in the frigid North Atlantic.

Dogville is also very upsetting as is Delta. I think I should mention that von Trier is not the only director who I think makes sad films.

Titanic was the saddest movie that I've ever seen. A lot of people died that night.

The movie "Up" when they are going over Carl and his late wife's life. I wept. Hard. So sad. But there are definitely others "Pay It Forward" did a number on me. Oh! And "Boy in the Striped Pajamas." I cried until the next day, just broke out in tears.
