Really sad films?
I am looking for a really sad film to watch. I'd prefer if it were more modern. I really loved Jack Frost (I know its slightly older but I'm looking for that kind of film). Does anybody have any suggestions?
I still think that the film bodyguard was quiet sad. And now with Whitney Houston gone from us you're sure to need your handkerchief to cry into while listening to the really sad ballets that are part of the film.
I've heard that The Notebook is really sad, but haven't seen it myself. Crying at films isn't one of my favourite things. There are a couple that have taken me by surprise, like An Officer and a Gentleman. I've watched it loads of times now, but have to leave the room for part of it, it's sooooo upsetting! Gran Torino floored me as well. Gulp. They're not completely sad, but parts of them reduce me to tears.
There is an Indian film I watched a few times, it's called Water. It will have English subtitles. It's about the plight of widows in India and set around the time of Gandhi's rise to power.
Ghost is the really saddest, with Patrick Swazye and Demi Moore.
A very sad movie is "The Color Purple", you must see it, if you haven't already. Also "Avatar" has some really sad parts.
Schindler's List - wow, intensely powerful and sad, too. A movie about Poland and the Jews during the Nazi reign, based on the actual events (based on a real guy named Schindler and the people he effected). It was directed by Steven Spielberg and it won 7 Oscars and 70 other awards... That's how good it is.

If there was a film(s) you wanted analyzed (not reviewed), what would it be?I have a few films in mind already, but it seems like more recent films are far more popular and relevant to read. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I'm planning to invest in a DSLR camera soon. I've used them before, but I'm more familiar with film. I love film, but let's face it - digital is much easier to work with these days. No chemicals, no enlargers, no photo paper.I don't really want all of the fancy features. I really just want...

The saddest movie that I have ever seen was Terms of Endearment (1983) with Debra Winger and Shirley Maclaine.The saddest part of the movie is when Emma (Debra Winger) is diagnosed with a malignant tumor in her breast and she fights to the bitter end.A poignant part in the film is when Emma goes...

I’ve watched some weird stuff on TV over the years. When I was young Monty Python might have been classified as weird by some, especially the older generation. And recently I’ve watched some quite weird stuff on TV such as:-The American TV Series “A Series of Unfortunate Events”, and...
