Yeap. Very sad.

To some degree,
Breakfast At Tiffany's
The cat scene made me cry.

Just got done watching United 93.

Wow.

Depressing because you keep hoping and hoping the ending will be different.

How in the hell did I forget this one? It was one of my favorite movies when I was a kid, but damn, was it ever sad. :(

That actually just made me think of another one, though, a movie adaptation that only just came out of a book I read probably over fifteen years ago.

Bridge to Terebithia

That book actually made me cry (I was in fifth grade or so at the time, to be fair), and the movie certainly did it justice.

Also, the first time I saw Armageddon, I thought the part where Bruce Willis says goodbye to his daughter near the end was ridiculously sad. Hell, I've thought that every time I've seen it, but the first time was still the worst.

Definitely agree with the Solondz mentions as well as Requiem for a Dream…those are films that I have seen that I never want to see again.

To add to the list: Kids, Bully, Brokeback Mountain

On Her Majesty's Secret Service …a sad ending for a Bond flick.

Rushmore - I hated myself after that movie…what a waste of a perfectly good free rental voucher.

The Big Lebowski - Needed counselling after spending hard earned money on that one

Just because we were talking about this at dinner the other night, I have to echo those who said:

Dancer in the Dark

For whatever reason, I wasn't expecting that ending … and I think that (glasses) scene may be the single most heart-wrenching (heart-rending?) scene I can recall in many years …

Why does it strike me as so odd that David Morse has gone from the nice-guy roles like Boomer in "St. E" and the daddy-alien in "Contact" to the odious villains of "Ditd," "Hounddog" and "Disturbia"?
