Sad movie suggestions....

Sophie's Choice, definitely.

The Sweet Hereafter. OMG. A busload of children die in a crash, all except for one, who's paralyzed.

The Help, when Abie has to leave her darling "baby" at the end.

My DH would suggest Field of Dreams, or the Natural. Anything about a complicated father-son relationship.


Those are totally different movies. Field of Dreams is a masterpiece and a guaranteed man-cry every time. The Natural is an overwrought, overrated, melodramatic piece of crap.

How sad do you want it: Ghandi and Schindler's List or Terms of Endearment?

-1 for Sweet Hereafter because of underlying child abuse theme

Worst movie ever. Totally trivializes the Holocaust.



I agree. I stopped it after 25 minutes.


How so? I didn't pick up on that at all.

I cried during the First 10 minutes of Frozen and the first 10 minutes of Up. Yeah I know. [Hangs head]

Dear Zachary. Actually it's so sad that I don't even think you should watch it. It'll do the trick though.

Oh yes, the opening scene from "UP" and there's a similar sweet vignette in the movie "Gnomes".....

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind - I don't know why exactly but it gets to me.

20 Feet from Stardom - not a sad movie at all but those ladies are so amazing that I cried through the entire thing.

I haven't liked crying from movies for years, so my recommendations are all pretty old (although many have been suggested):

Beaches (GAH!)
Steel Magnolias
A League of Their Owm (that last scene... Blubber, blubber sputter)

and for a different kind of cry, more the acute pain of what we didn't know we had:
Peggy Sue Got Married

OP, what did you watch?
