Saddest Movie you've seen

I watched Silence of the Lambs online a few days ago. I hadn't watched it since the early-1990s and it made me feel quite depressed afterwards because there really are bad people like Hannibal Lecter who do bad things who really do exist in real life. The music is by far one of the most haunting things about the film.

Howard Shore has done some crazy things, not least the scores for most of David Cronenberg's films, of which I thought the music for Eastern Promises was particularly sublime.
 
Blue Valentine and Never Let Me Go...It's not often films make me cry but these two had me bawling my eyes out
 
Titanic, because the love story is both tragic and cruel and the people dying at hands of the rich elite towards the end is too much. I hated that "Nearer to God than thee" part of the movie :(

Funny, I never really thought of this as a "sad" movie...

Hmm, you're making me curious now to see it again. As I mentioned before, I watched it when I was going through some really bad times, so it could just be that connection which invokes the sadness for me.

Guess I'll have to re-watch it too, then. ;)

I'd say "let's all watch it again then" but you seem to be going through a lot too lately, so maybe it's for the best you don't think of it as "sad".

Another one I've been putting off to see for pure melancholic reasons. I remember it for sending my mom into a deep depression. She played the soundtrack once on the piano and then went to bed for a couple of months.

Since I'm being melancholic (a little bit too much lately) I might as well mention Jeux Interdits (Forbidden Games). Great movie, but it confirmed my distrust in adults. And it's probably why I began bringing home pretty much any dead animal I came across, just so I could bury it and put a little cross on top. If the people who live there now ever decide to dig up that part of the garden they might be in for quite a shock.
