The Top Ten

1Titanic
I think this movie is the best love story ever, but is so sad. I cried a lot and I'm not that type of person that cry in the movies. I love Jack and Rose. Vote for the best movie ever.
I think this movie is absolutely amazing. I love it. I watched it when I was 12 and it left me absolutely distraught. Depressed for days after. The film is 3 hours long and I cried for about 1.5 hours. I think the actors are amazing and have made really made a truly depressing master piece. Thank you for letting us see the true horrors of what happened that horrible day.
sad sad sad sad sad a film can't be this sad its just not right I can't watch it without crying last time I watched it I got de-hydrated

2The Green Mile
Maybe I shed a tear in The Notebook, and possibly Titanic but I have NEVER burst into tears, and got thick-throated, whilst watching a film like I did in The Green Mile. Truly Amazing story!
This is an incredibly powerful and sad movie, if you don't cry by the end you aren't human!
this is the saddest movie ever made way sadder than titanic

Anyways, this movies is the only movie here I see that has gotten me close to tears

4Hachi: A Dog's Tale
It should be the top, one of the best movies,... A dog's love and loyalty! Really different.. A friendship that can be last forever
Really, it should be at least the top 5! Firstly I don't think it would be nice movie, but I kept watching and then... Suddenly my tears came out, again again again and sobbed, haha. Really, this is best movie to pick if you want to cry a lot
One of the saddest movies I've ever seen but at least you learn how to take care about your dog and realize how loyal they are

5Schindler's List
How Titanic is higher then this makes me want to cry... Again...

findouter

This is not only a very sad film, but one of the best ever created. A truly exceptional piece of cinema. You have to be truly heartless to not cry in this film.
Certainly a very moving and powerful film, beautiful realised and immensely crafted, a true masterpiece. Amongst many amazing scenes, one always makes me cry, it is set close to the end of the film, where Oscar Schindler has to flee and is given a gold ring made from the tooth of one of the jewish workers he has saved, He breaks down on realising that he could have saved more people, he looks at his car, 10 people, I could have saved 10 more people, he looks at his gold nazi pin, I could have saves two people, this is gold, two people, definitely one. There is a moment when he has a look of utter loss and despair on his face and this is some of the finest acting I have seen, let alone in this film itself. How Liam Neeson did not win the Oscar for his performance beggars belief

6A Walk to Remember
When I always watching this movie I'm always thinking what if it's happened to me... And I'm always cry and I can't move on easily because I always feel this movie inside my heart...
It shows that love can save anyone, teach us to live, and yet in the end make us cry! Simple yet so well acted!
their acting skills is great.. made me cry.. love the couple... one of the great movies I've watched... You should all watch this... I'm not sure about The Notebook movie though, haven't watched it... But I'll try...

7Marley and Me
My family were all in tears at the end of the movie

ACDCRocks

One of the saddest movies I have ever seen. A truly passionate film. A lovely combination of love, happiness and sadness. A fantastic, but extremely sad, film.
A very sad and Touching movie that the Whole Family will Laugh and Cry Together. A Movie that Everyone will love.

8The Notebook
I love this movie so much! It makes me cry like a baby every time :'(
I'm easy to start crying, but this totally makes me drown in my tears...
This movie touches on real life experiences and what could actually happen to you! I don't see why this isn't number 1. Movies that are based on real life should have more meaning and touch your heart, the Notebook gets me every single time. And also The Curious Case of Benjamin Button should be on this list too!
It toughed my heart and made me feel something I have never felt for movies ever. It made me cry for days it's a unforgettable romance.

9The Boy in the Striped Pajamas
a heart felt story, that would have anyone cry in
VERY sad... I would definitely suggest this movie if your looking for a tearjerker throughout most of the movie! You'll wanna watch this movie over and over again. If You don't cry in this movie you are Heart-less!
A film you will never forget, that will make everyone who watches it emotional! Very sad film!

10The Pursuit of Happyness
It's just beautiful I cried a whole lot more than will smith cried at the end (with happiness)
At the end the movie we will come to know whats is actual happiness means. When there a true happiness can you control the tears
This movie is the most acurate opinion on what true happiness is. Not to mention I cried like most of the movie and this should be number one no joke!

The Contenders

11The Bridge To Terabithia
I showed this to my best friend two years ago. I've never seen her cry as much as she did when she saw this movie. And we cried together for hours. Josh Hutcherson is really talented!
I loved this movie so much I cried for the rest of the movie after his parents told him she was dead! BEST SAD MOVIE OF ALL TIME!
This movie shows you that how the kid imagination and his friends is almost his life so we must respect him and the things he loves

12My Sister's Keeper
I balled my eyes out throughout the whole film. Especially when Cameron Diaz started crying at the end with her daughter before she died. I have now watched this film 7 times. Cry a little bit more each time. Should be in the top ten! Amazing film
As a guy, I'm officially not allowed to cry at movies. This movie however, made me cry and cry and cry more. I let my tears ran down my cheeks almost the entire second half of this incredibly touching story. It's as beautiful as tragic, as touching as it is true.

I've gotta say: I burst into tears more than once. Even now, when I think back, a tear is rolling down my cheek. I don't have kids of my own. Heck, I'm not even dating. But the thought alone of having to fight this battle makes me ponder upon the values in life.

This movie *definitely* goes above Titanic! (one tear let when Jack sunk)
I feel asleep with the tv on. When I woke up this movie was on the channel I left the tv on from the night before. I started watching at about the half way point. By the time the movie was over I couldn't help but to tear up and part of me wished I slept through the movie. This movie has forever effected me, but I'm reluctant to go back and watch it from the start. I was in a solemn state for days after watching my sister's keeper and am not used to movies evoking such emotion.

13Up
The first ten minutes were enough to make anyone cry

I cried 4 times during this film... in the cinema!
Ive never cried more than once in a film besides this, nor have I cried in the cinemas before this! The most depressing film of all time :(
Just the beginning had me in floods of tears! Where they can't have kids and when his wife dies! Very very sad!

15A.I. - Artificial Intelligence
This has got to be number one. The world ends, everybody is dead and the little robot boy goes to hell just to get one day with a fake mother that goes away and then he shuts down forever. Nobody really wins in this one... NOBODY.

Rocky5

The little boy, all he wanted was one more day with his mother and he was willing to to let her go because one day was enough.! So said!
I sobbed uncontrollably... The most tragic and touching film ever made. Also, the most orignial story plot that actually has a plausible explaination for how our civilzation might end someday. Haley Joel Osment was not only an adorable child/robot in the movie, but he's possibly the greatest child actor we've ever seen.A.I. should have been in the top ten, if not number one!

16I Am Legend
I admit that prior to being diagnosed bipolar II, this 30 yr old male could cry and did cry at most of the sad parts in movies. That stopped once I started taking my medications. However, watching I am Legend, even while taking my meds, I started tearing up the moment it showed Sam limping and slump over. Will Smith's genuine reaction of hopelessness and grief was hard to watch and both Neville (Will) and the audience knows what is going to happen. By the time Will Smith knelt down on the floor with his dog and only dying friend in his arms, tears were flowing uncontrollably down my face. I I don't know what was saddest for me,... The part where the virus took over Sam and Neville had to choke her to death as he cried... Or the solemn, post burial SUV ride where we see a distraught Neville slightly glance over at the empty seat where Sam had always been. Then we see him begging the female mannequin to "please talk to me" after and break down into tears. All that trauma and it all happened on his birthday of all times.
Saddest and most amazing ending a movie can have and the part when his dog died was even more sad. Will Smith was amazing, best movie ever made.
Walking away from his family watching as they leve in a helicopter a zombie smashes it on the ground. As the one of the only people in new york city with zombies everywhere is devastating. Killing the only thing close to him now his dog as it turns into a zombie is very sad. I have to say this is the saddest movie ever

Only movie which made me cry. The lullaby is the saddest moment in all movie history. And maybe its just because I am from Balkan.

18Seven Pounds
How is this not in the top 10? It's Beautiful. Made me cry the first time I saw it. Sure Titanic and The Notebook are beautiful, but seven pounds is just... Go watch the movie!
I was shocked at how powerful this film is, blows away most of the top ten. Its done it such a way its trying to be strong not sad but it breaks through to your soul. Just amazing.
This is one of my favorite movies along with movies like good will hunting and what dreams may come, I wish that I was strong enough to do something relevant with my life like this.

21Pearl Harbor

Its an amazing film when I watched the end I just cried my eyes out and I'm not a cryie person so it must be sad my mum said the first time she watched it she cried too. I haven't seen a film so sad before.

I could not stop crying at the end. This movie makes me cry for so long every time I watch it!

Such an awesome film have watched it so many times and I still cry at so many parts of this movie! Josh Hartnett is so sexy

22Toy Story 3
I am not the crying-over-books-and-movies type, but the scene when Andy was giving his toys to Bonnie was so emotional, that I burst into tears along with the whole cinema. Titanic is a sad movie too, one of the saddest by far, but this one has just left a something in me. The same thing happens to everyone. As we grow up, we get rid of things from our childhood. It just reminded me of myself a long time ago, playing with my toys, being a happy child and now I am leaving for college as Andy, and thus we are both leaving our memories behind us.
, just full of my childhood memories. The part where Andy had to give up his toys just made me weep like a little baby (":
I grew up with toy story and seeing my childhood memories being played with by Andy one last time just got to me, one of the best films I've ever scene

I watch this movie for the third time yesterday. Im still balling my eyes out.
this movie was so sad to me it was the saddest movie EVER the scene that really made me cry was when wendy I think thats her name was talking with her daughter afer her mother died.
I think I cried for about an hour after watching this? It was so so so sad, and even though the whole time you sort of knew and expected her to die, it was still so sad when she did finally die :(

I was shocked at the end of the movie.
Second time I saw it a cried like a baby. and I cried loud!
Life is beautiful is not just a movie.. it's a masterpiece
This film is sure to change your heart and mind forever. It motivates me that our life IS beautiful. We won We won! This line always makes me cry. Hats off Mr. Roberto Beningni. A Materpiece.
The last part when he makes his son laugh one more time before he disappears around the corner and shot by Nazis so routinely like they are taking out the trash

25Saving Private Ryan
I have always been very satisfied with movies that do not hesitate to starkly portray the brutality of what actually happened. Although I have watched this movie time and time again, it always exceeds expectations. The last moment, "Earn this... " caused tears in my eyes.
Profound and realistic graphic depiction of war. Especially the ending, almost nobody remains alive, realistic and touching. Films above go away.
The combat scenes really make those who have been there flash back. The deaths of fallen comrads hurts a lot

26Pay It Forward
Haley Joel Osmant is the best child actor ever. Reminds me of my son at that age, plus having lost another son I feel the mother's pain __ and the song "Calling all Angels" makes it the most touching ending possible.
Haley Joel Osment was the best actor ever when he was a little boy!
And the movie is so creative... Just the best movie ever!
It always make me cry!
This is a beautiful heart-warming movies and a tear jerker at the same time, I watched it twice in a row, then took it straight to my mums for her to watch!

27Remember Me
I myself am not very fond of Robert Pattinso, but in this movie, his preformance was amazing. this movie is really sad, I almost cried. and that is really amazing. it takes a lot to bring tears to my eyes but this movie did. it deserves to be higher up the list.
Why is this movie down here! I cried a lot seriously and trust its not easy for me to cry in movies... It should be up there. It brings back memories and makes you realize the pain that others went through. Its a really good movie I never expected it to end like that and even though I don't like sad movies I do like this one.
This movie made me cry so much that I wanted to watch it over and over again until I had a headache of crying! Most amazing film I have ever seen in my life?!

This movie definitely made my eyes get water-ey
This is the saddest movie I have ever seen. When she goes to his funeral and says he needs his glasses, I just couldn't stop crying. The fact that he went back to get her ring, that made it even harder to stop crying.

Amazing movie very inspiring, I realised how I am treating my parents and this movie made value them even more.. I cried so much.
I cried for most of the last half; Ronnie's life goes from one extreme to the other in such a short time. I'm also close to her age so I find it really easy to relate to how she feels throughout. This is definitely the saddest Nicholas Sparks', sorry Notebook fans!
I am a man... But I've feel whats Ronnie feel. I'm so sad to watch this movie.

This movie was Beautiful all the way through, but when the enfing comes that's when the tears come, that scene just tears me up inside. One of the best movies I've seen...

34Requiem for a Dream
Truly sad Movie. Some movies that are mention here aren't sad. I don't know why they are listed.
The movies listed ahead of it are all great movies, no doubt, but the motif (recurring theme) is that they are not sad movies. They might be romance and good inspirational movies, but they are simply tear jerkers, in which case it should have been named 'Top 10 TearJerkers' for them to qualify as their rankings proclaim. This movie, however, is truly sad and has NO happy ending nor does it make you feel that their life could get any better. Watch the movie and the last 15 minutes, your heart will understand.
This movie stuck with me for quite a while, after watching it, I felt depressed for days. I couldn't understand how one movie could have such an incredible effect on me.

I always cry during this movie. I can't even help it. It's sad.
I lost it when the played that song in the end, great movie just really sad
This movie is really sad. You think he's going to make it out. You begin to get sucked into Jack Morrison's life... His wife, kids, work and then he makes the call for all of the firefighters to evacuate the building, leaving him in there. A story of true bravery and heartache. An amazing but very sad film.

36The Shawshank Redemption
how can #1 be on #81. every time I watch this movie I cry. this is a movie which can make mike tyson cry!
So many different emotions shown and has some very sad parts
Such a great movie, and I don't approve of movies like The Deer Hunter, Raging Bull, One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest, and Rain Man are not on here!

37Keith
Keith is such a good movie. I don't normally cry during movies, but I cried the entire second half of the movie. I highly recommend it!
Keith is the movie that moved me the most in the past years, probably one of the best movie to watch whenever you feel depress. It is a true lesson of life.
This movie was so good that as soon as we finished watching it, we made more popcorn then watched it again! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

I've never cried over a movie until I saw this. This movie deserves to be much more than 239!

39The Elephant Man
Very sad from beginning to end. Being a true story makes it so much more powerful
I cry EVERY time I watch this movie. And it's even sadder knowing that it's a true story.
From the begining to the end of this movie I seriously did nothing but cry. I was a mess and I cried for days. This movie isn't sad because he died at the end. It was sad because of ho awfully they treated him. Humans are sick. That's how sad this movie was.

40Million Dollar Baby
This movie was devastating! I went to see it in theatres with my mom and cried all the way through it...

This movie is not only sad, it leaves you with a literal pit in your stomach that tears don't seem to erase. So good; you really understand the dilemma and love the characters.

When Éponine sings A Little Fall Of Rain with Marius, my heart just broke. I had to bite my cheek to keep from sobbing.

42Sophie's Choice
Should be #1. Meryl Streep is tragic in this story about a mother who must choose which of her two children will live and is forever damaged by the guilt.
Meryl Streep is absolutely phenomenal in this movie! You can just feel her pain as she is forced to chose which of her children is to live and which is to be sent to the gas chambers. I nearly cried...

43Edward Scissorhands
Magical. Maybe not the most conventional film you'll ever see, but the sadness and loneliness of Edward is something we can all relate to.
unhappy ending = sad movie... but a great one
First film ever to make me cry. Never cried like that ever before in my life! The pure lonliness and isolation of Edward is something we TRY to empathize with, and that's what makes it so hard to watch.

I find it insane that no one has yet added this to the list. Watch it and weep.
I saw this as a child, maybe 11 yrs old... And thinking about this boy (whom I had a crush on) losing his dad was so sad... A lot of tears shed.
my first time ever seeing this movie I never saw the ending I was that bad, I was whaling not a pretty sound, a man said it only a picture, I had to leave the picture house before I was thrown out. the next time I saw it, it was a video I had to keep switching it off I was shaking the wee boys keep saying the champ, champ I nearly crying now thinking about it. I older now I don't cry so much.

THIS MOVIE SHOULD BE #1 on the list. Pearl Harbor movie is higher on the list than this... Surely you jest!

46The Lovely Bones
So Sad ESpecially the end when she re-calls all the victims of the murderer
Saw this film yesterday and bawled my head off. It's so sad, especially when she meets all the other victims of the murder in heaven including the poor six year old girl. I love this movie.
I cried so much at certain points, like *SPOILER* when her dad had and her were both holding vibrant lively flowers, when the dad almost died, when her dad was breaking the ships in bottles, and... every other part in the movie. BUT I loved it when she drove her brother to the hospital. Over all great movie.

Beautiful story! You know a films going to be great when it starts off with an elderly person narrating their story! If you liked titanic and the notebook, you'll love this.
I watch this movie one year ago just amazing

56Somewhere In Time
The ending earned my respect for its vote because it built up so much momentum towards the ending and then it became shattered once he saw the penny. Such a classic movie deserves to be on the top ten. It is such a gorgeous movie to watch because of the cinematography and the music. Oh God, the music has some of the most beautiful themes of all time. All of the love and passion for one person builds into an obsession that becomes Christopher Reeve's downfall, which makes it one of the most sad movies of all time; obsessing over one person to get your desires of your life, and then to see them disappear to realize it was never truly meant to be because time is in your way. Tell me how that does not deserve at least a top ten placement.
Wonder. Obsession. Love. Lives wasted and fulfilled. This is a deep, intricate, spectacular and just beautiful film. Keep those pennies out of your waistcoat!
This is my all time favorite movie and my all time favorite love story. It's a classic and is based on Mackinac Island (I am from Michigan) so it adds a personal touch for me. Overall the story is amazing! If you have never seen it... I suggest you do.

57Ramona and Beezus

God, my sister and I didn't have the best relationshp at the time. When we saw this movie, we hugged and burst into tears.

58The Sixth Sense

59Antichrist

60The Fox and the Hound

To tell you the truth. This movie was really said to me. In elementary we were watching this movie and it made me really sad. The part that made me sad was when the lady dropped off the poor fox in the forest. This movie was one of my favorites, really sad for me. In class most of the people were tearing up. I could never forget these kind of movies. It's like my childhood and still is.

I agee, the saddest part is were she puts him in the forrest..
So emotional, really really sad. But he becomes very friendly with the other animals wich makes me so happy!

61The Bucket List

Wow never have felt as much joy and sadness since the green mile truly great film, morgan freeman and jack nicholson are great

I can't describe it, it's one of the greatest, saddest and beautiful movie ever. If this isn't sad, than I don't know nothing about life, love and death, but I think I do. It's not just a movie about 2 guys who died at the end. It's a story about life, story about how we should live, love, believe in who we are and never ever EVER give up. I cried every time I watching this movie, what can I say, it's the best.

62Dear John
Hospital scene was sad, took me back to when my father passed.

It is so sad I could not stop crying after I saw this.

63Brian's Song

64Alien 3

65Madame X

66Precious

This story is unbelievably sad. It's had to watch this story and to be able to see what she is feeling and trying to understand how such a terrible thing could ever happen to any girl. So touching from beginning to end!

67P.S. I Love You
This is the saddest, but also most beautiful movie ever made. I always cry trough the whole movie but still I see it over and over again in some masochistic way.
This is one of the extreme few of movies that made me tear up. The feelings of loss in this movie are more than words can explain. Gerard Butler played a wonderful role as well as Hilary Swank. It was marvelous and congratulations.
Felt truely touched by the movie can anyone love like tat. It touched my heart like anything

73Gladiator
The beauty of this movie is phenomenal. The story of Maximus (Russel Crowe) a man who lost his wife and child because of no error of his own, a story of a man who seeks revenge above all and has nothing to lose and nothing to fear. One of the saddest and most beautiful endings too
Very sad and emotional movie. Maximus (Russell Crowe) mourns the death of his wife and son and seeks revenge. The ending is sad enough to make a full-grown man cry.
I don't know why this movie along with braveheart and the Grey are rated so low. Those movies are the most emotional movies of all time

74Philadelphia

It goes beyond my comprehension on how there isn't even a single comment about "Philadelphia. Wow...

Anyway, "sorrow" and "empathy" in film can only truly be experienced and appreciated by each individual person. "Sadness" is completely relative depending on how the viewer personally relates to the situation and/or character(s).

What one person might find heartbreaking in a movie, another wouldn't give it a second thought.

For example, to me... The saddest movie I have ever watched is "Jacob's Ladder". I know many people may not understand the depth of the movie, but I adore every moment of the film as literally each and every part of the movie and the main characters life is relevant in the end.

Anyone familiar with the short story author Ambrose Pierce may be familiar with "Jacob's Ladder". My heart just broke for Jacob... Watching him slowly slip into insanity, yet to be aware completely aware, yet helpless to make it stop. Tim Robbins won my heart in Jacob's Ladder... :-)

How is this not number one?! First time I have ever needed to leave the room becaue I was crying so bad!
My god... Get the tear buckets ready! This film's ending was the saddest thing I've seen.
I thought this film was great. I really did think mum was exadurating about how sad it was until I watched it! Should be number one for definite, I've never actually cried that much about a film before! Great film, a must watch old classic... ,

Braveheart is probably one of the best movies of all time... It is one of those films that can make you cry no matter how many times you have watched it. It is also one of the 5 saddest films of all time in my opinion. It has an amazing acting crew, especially Mel Gibson. The film also inspires people and showes that you don't have to accept what you're born with and showes that somebody can rise above all and fight for the freedom. That is what the Braveheart is all about.
Beautiful sad! I just love it, the music pictures the whole story emotions wow, I cry every time

87My Dog Skip
I have never cried so hard in a movie before! I always wonder why people cry in moviesand after watching this movie I know why!
I saw this once, I was just flipping through the channels and I landed on it. I watched the whole thing, I got to the end and I just cried, it was so sad. Really sweet movie, though I'm not a dog lover but this movie, I think may have changed my mind about them a little.
If this movie doesn't make you cry, then you either hate dogs or don't have a soul (or both).

88Boyz 'N the Hood
I am easy to tear up during films but this is the first movie that I actually had tears streaming down my face and I had to grab a tissue. This is a great movie but you should watch it alone, you will cry... A lot.
I had to run out the room.  If you're gonna watch this, watch it on your own because you will cry. The actors are really good, you get involved. This is one of the best films I have ever seen. The fact that it's true really gets to you.
I watched this one time. Too realistic for me. Sad life some people live. Much sadness for Morris Chestnut's character.

89How to Train Your Dragon

This was a great film but it was very sad when toothless was drowning. And the ending was touching. Love this movie

This movie is one of the most touching films I have ever viewed. It contains a powerful message that left me thinking.
This world had to much racism, we are all the same, we are all Children of God, people don't get through your head, other wise people will get hurt or die!

93Dancer In the Dark

Bjork is so genius! As a singer and in this amazing movie. I never cry in an Hollywood movie because it's so predictable and exagerated... But here the acting of Bjork and the camera of one of my favorite director are perfectly exact and juste. I watched it in cinema when I was 18 and all my friends and I cried ( we pass 3 kleenex box)

And I still cry when Isee itagain a fee years later

I am a teen I am 15 and it's kind of hard to make me cry but dancer in the dark was so moving I was bawling the whole movie from when she told bill she was going blind to when she was hung and about 30 mins after it was over as well

Three young, healthy, optimistic, even sarcastic men watching Dancer in the Dark, crying their eyes out first time they see this movie. Second time. Even third time. That's something.

Absolutely amazing- so touching and beautiful. I don't usually cry in films but it was impossible not to. Everyone should see this film.
The best suicide scene
One of the most touching films I have ever seen. It just goes to show that everyone should follow their hearts! Must we really need a Neil Perry to show us that?

99Where the Wild Things Are

I saw this with my Otley College Depatment at a Cinema in Woodbridge Yesterday December 11th 2009 ANd this is really sad with a Heartbreaking ending

100Big Fish
The son thinks the father is lying about his escapades. but they turned out to be true. His father and mother had such a deep love for each other!
