I know it came from the book, but my vote is for "The House of Sand and Fog."

[SWBTATTReg]

1. Beaches, Bette Midler nt

[nmgaucho]

2. Umberto D

by Vittorio De Sica

[Funtatlaguy]

3. Marley and Me

[Turin_C3PO]

14. +1

[Aristus]

4. I read the book and saw the movie.

Shattering, both of them.

[sweetloukillbot]

5. Dancer in the Dark nt

[CrispyQ]

6. Hachi: A Dog's Tale

I couldn't stop crying.

[3catwoman3]

Bawling by the last part.

[lamsmy]

7. Sophie's Choice

[fierywoman]

33. yeah.

[Guilded Lilly]

38. I'm still not over seeing it decades ago.

[Yavin4]

8. Any Adam Sandler movie

It's truly sad and depressing that he continues to make horrible movie after horrible movie.

[yonder]

10. +1.

I don't know how he does it, but wish he would stop.

[Turin_C3PO]

13. I used to love his movies as a kid.

Now I’m like, wtf did I find funny about this swill?

[Nay]

9. Open Water.

[pretzel4gore]

11. Gigot' with Jack E. Gleason...

The show was disparaged by review, but ...it was so sad (Jack played a hobo who helps a pret-t homeless girl etc) ..mind you i was a kid back then and kids are stupid😒

[ZZenith]

12. The Virgin Spring by Ingmar Bergman.

Requiem for a Dream ain’t exactly a zany comedy either.

I kind of like sad movies sometimes - leave the theater feeling better about your own life.

[leftieNanner]

15. Didn't see the movie, but the book was devastating!

How about Brokeback Mountain. The short story made me weep, as did the movie.

When he finds his own shirt hanging inside the other one just about destroyed me!

[petronius]

16. Breaking the Waves (1996) is my vote, and I'll second ZZenith on 'Requiem...' (nt)

[SKKY]

17. "Life is Beautiful" or "Terms of Endearment"....

...can't decide which. Depends on my mood I guess.

[bluestarone]

18. Where the Red Fern Grows!

19. Love Story. nt

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

20. The Grave of the Fireflies

[miyazaki]

23. Once through was soul crushing.

I don't think i'll ever see it again.

Another Japanese soul-crusher was "Nobody Knows".

[Ferrets are Cool]

31. This one is the winner...every person should be required to watch it just once

as a reminder of what WAR really is. Having said that, I cannot watch it twice. Too damned hard for me to do.

[Dave Starsky]

40. Yes. Grave of the Fireflies.

The greatest movie I will never watch again.

It was the movie that introduced my wife and me to the concept of "projectile crying".

[Behind the Aegis]

21. The Boy in the Stripped Pajamas.

[Coventina]

22. The Trip to Bountiful

Could have been impacted by watching right after my grandmother died.

eta: "The Love Guru" (sorry, couldn't resist!)

[sakabatou]

24. Grave of the Fireflies

[Talitha]

25. My Sergei (1998)

It's the painfully beautiful story of Olympic Russian ice skaters Ekaterina Gordeeva and Sergei Grinkov.
Once in a while, I'll watch it when I need a good cry.

[SaveOurDemocracy]

26. "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" leaves me in a puddle everytime.

[50 Shades Of Blue]

27. Cry, the Beloved Country (1951 version)

[wildflower]

28. Testament (1983)

The aftermath of a nuclear attack. I don't think I could ever watch it again.

[Bfd]

29. 'All is Lost'

Wish I had never watched it.

[Dave Starsky]

41. Me too.

A movie about the dumbest guy who ever got in a boat. I was shaking my damn head through the whole thing.

I'm no salty sea dawg, and even I know you should at least have a life jacket on when things go bad.

[Bfd]

42. Thats exactly what i said through the whole movie!

I kept watching for something positive to happen for the dumb schmuck & then the movie was over!
It was dreadful. Ugh!

[enid602]

30. Anita

‘Anita,’ an Argentine film about a girl with Down syndrome who loses her mother in the AMIA bombing, and becomes homeless.

[RGinNJ]

32. Brian's Song

[consider_this]

34. Radio Flyer

[3catwoman3]

35. I wept at Shenandoah, with Jimmy Stewart - a family...

...divided by brothers fighting on opposite sides of the Civil War.

[Totally Tunsie]

37. Two classics:

Imitation of Life - Lana Turner, Juanita Moore, Sandra Dee

An Affair to Remember - Deborah Kerr, Cary Grant

[global1]

39. The Eddie Duchin Story....

A 1956 film with Tyrone Power and Kim Novak. Power played Duchin. The way the movie ended was just the saddest.
