for me its probably blow with johnn depp. first his wife gets a brain tumor, than his mom turns him into the cops, than his wife gets him jailed, then his wife takes his daughter away, then his daughter never visits him in prison ... and the worst part was without all that bolivian marching powder around none of the chix did any crazy sex shit

Hotel Rawanda was prolly the saddest in recent years...left the most impact
-
"Breaking the waves" is up there IMO.

Masterpiece by Von Trier.

it wasnt exactly an uplifting experience, but i didnt find it too sad. reason being is i had seen the documentary on that canadian general romeo dallaire (played by nick nolte i think) and it was alot more graphic.

Von Trier at the top of his game undoubtedly . . . unlike the recent crap.
Loved this movie . . .
was Von Trier only trying to nauseate? I thought he was also suggesting that there was something to her faith . . . after all, in the end, she does get what she believes she will get.

RED SONJA takes the winner.. :'(

Speaking of contemporary films, these come to mind...
Sophie's Choice
The Age of Innocence
The English Patient
The Widow of Saint-Pierre
Malena

"Sad" movies are generally chick flicks and I avoid them like the plague. But I did watch Titanic under duress, and that one was pretty sad I guess.

That's a narrow interpretation. What about Requiem for a Dream, Leaving Las Vegas, Irreversible or even Bambi for that matter.

Looking at Monica Bellucci makes me happy. I can't help it.
-
some guys think its not macho to watch "sad" movies or cry, i think this boils down to insecurity and a real man doesnt give a flying fuck what other people will say
req for a dream was great dd, it was rvery sad, but at the same time i must admit i thought it was really hot when that chick started, um, working :-[
-
legends of the fall...i regret watching it..and my dumbass rented it one newyrs a while back hoping to have a quite nite..
everyone fucking dies >:(
after watching braveheart i wont watch such movies..me thinks the point of a movie should be to elate...not the opposite..
if i wanna feel " why it feels to good to feel so bad" i'll fucking read E dickenson..
and oh..drop dead fred ws pretty sad also >:(

Who can blame you... plus she does great work in the beautiful but suffering roles.

Yes it's a narrow interpretation, but my movie genre is pretty small. :) Only one I've seen is Bambi. That doesn't count.
I would rather endure waterboarding than watch something like The English Patient.

Terrorstorm. :(

Somehow I highly doubt that. :) Perhaps you should have compared it to wearing a hair shirt. ;) Curious... have you seen the English Patient? Read the book? Am interested to know why you would be averse to watching it.
ps. another "sad" film that isn't a chick flick: Remains of the Day.
-
"Speed" was really sad.
Sad because Sandra Bullock didn't get nekkid.
-
Weekend at Bernies. Its sad how they treated that dead guy

Never seen The English Patient. I wouldn't be caught dead reading the book. The only "chick book" I've read is Memoirs of a Geisha. Well, maybe Snow Falling on Cedars is another. But I don't like love stories (i.e., chick flicks). I prefer brain dead action/adventure movies and slapstick comedy. The occasional drama. Give me James Bond and Mel Brooks any day of the week.

ive never seen the english patient becuase it looks long and boring

I'm guessing you wouldn't read the book because you think it's a "chick" book? It isn't at all. It's a story about the devastation of war... it's got spies, thieves, archeologists caught in the middle... it's a lovely, lyrical novel. There are ten pages where Ondaatje describes the beauty of different kinds of sands... shame you would just discount it like that. :'(

The Saint of Fort Washington with Matt Dillon and Danny Glover was a very moving film.
When Sam carries Frodo up Mount Doom
"C'mon Mr Frodo... I can't carry it for you... but I can carry you! C'mon!"

Back to the Future III
When the Delorean was finally destroyed. :'(

whats this one about ?
It's from the early 80's with Jack Nicholson, Debra Winger and Shirley McLaine. It's about a mother (Shirley) who lives next door to (Jack) and her married to a cheating husband with kids daughter (Debra) who gets cancer. It's a tear jerker.
-
Older, but both always make me cry:
Beaches (Bette Midler)
Mask (Cher)
:'(

Are you saying it's not a love story?

read the book . . . saw the movie . . . they're both more than decent. didn't like ralph fiennes acting or character in this one, but the rest of the movie is real strong. both book and film do period really well . . . so I'd say more of a costume drama than a chick flick. can't buy the film as history though, . . . although it isn't dumb about the history it deals with. has a lot to say about immigrants/travelers and boundaries/borders. the book is smart, no doubt.
PS. so i looked at the rest of the thread. Ondaatje is not a chick-lit writer, and quite good . . . i've never read the memoirs of a geisha, although i have it somewhere, and was planning on reading it t some point.
Remains of the day is an excellent film and book. Like Ishiguro and recommend him enthusiastically.

Star Trek II The Wrath of Kahn...
BONES: Don't! You'll flood the whole compartment...!
KIRK: He'll die - !
SCOTTY: (also holds him) He's dead already!
Kirk's eyes bulge.
BONES: It's too late.
With stunned understanding, Kirk stumbles to the door, sees Spock on his knees, hands blackened, face cracked with radiation lines and scars. Spock shakes his head. With a feeble hand he reaches the intercom button: FILTERED communication.
KIRK: (mouths word) Spock! :o (calls out into intercom) Spock!
SPOCK: Ship - out of danger?
KIRK: Yes (Spock is satisfied; he fights for breath.)
(http://www.imagedonkey.com/out.php?i=16564_tosfly1.gif)
SPOCK: Do not grieve, Admiral - it is logical: the needs of the many outweigh - (He almost keels over. Kirk has tears steaming down his face.)
KIRK: ... the needs of the few...
SPOCK: Or the one.
(He props a hand on the glass to support himself. Kirk's
hand reflexively goes to match Spock's on the other side
of the glass)
SPOCK: I never took the Kobayashi Maru test - until now. What do you think of my solution?
KIRK: Spock...!
SPOCK: I have been - and always will be - your friend...Live. Long. And. Prosper..... (Spock falls. Bones and Scotty react.)
KIRK: No...! :'(
(http://www.imagedonkey.com/out.php?i=16563_spock.jpg) AH HAAAAAAA!!!!!! The government has to leave me alone!!!... I'm a Trekker with Intergallactic Diplomatic Imunity... Any cases against me will just look silly, I'll wear my spock ears to court ;D

Clubber you meant the movie 'Blow' J. Depp as drugdealer and everything gets screwed up. yeah very good movie.
-
Saddest film?
"Mask".
No, not the one with Jim Carrey (although that was pretty sad), but the one from the 80's with Cher in it who plays the mother of some kid with a ginger perm who has the most FCUKED UP face you have ever seen.
He dies in the end because people with his kind of facial abnormality don't live very long apparently. But he did manage to snag some blind girl at a holiday camp.
Cool film. :)

Has anyone seen In The Bedroom? Its depressing as hell, but its a great movie.

I tend to agree with you that EP was more of a costume drama... and the idea of borders/boundaries/immigrants seems to be recurring in his work. He's from Sri Lanka and came to Canada via the UK, and I have read that these experiences were very affecting. Anil's Ghost is also very good, beautifully constructed tableaus mixed in with the story... and apparently this will be a film as well.

Yes, thought it was good too. Another successful adaptation... the short story it's based on could bring you to tears...
