Really Sad Movies vs. lik dis if u cry evertim ;_;

As a child E.T always made me cry without fail.
I can't think of any film as an adult that has made me cry. I did watch 'Senna' a few days ago and that nearly bought a tear to my eye when he died and they showed when his body was flown back to Brazil for his funeral.
It was an amazing sight, it was like a funeral for a king. There was thousands of people lining the streets crying their eyes out.
It was amazing that this one man who was a fantastic Formula 1 driver had touched so many peoples lives.
They were saying that he wAs the one thing that gave them as a nation hope and a sense of national pride.
Very touching indeed and a great documentary,well worth watching even if you are not a Formula 1 fan.
 
This was pretty hard to watch the first time I seen it, right after the scene where each of them roll up into the fetal position in there beds

I love you Harry

50 First Dates just made me cry. on the inside, as people were around.

i've been into the idea of individual reality being extremely pliable because it exists inside the brain. and that some people cannot be as happy--in the pleased with life sense, not the temporary emotion--in the reality their mind is creating--presumably from external stimuli provided by a concrete external reality. so maybe through some process an individual can create an alternate reality in which to exist.

50 First Dates kind of touches on this idea within the movie, but it is about re-creating the an individual reality based of a universal reality. it's more the movie itself that veers from the universal reality. its silly premise and conclusion--a Groundhog Day offshoot. that you could have a the same girl fall in love with you for the first time day after day. that you could wake up every morning to find out that have a loving spouse and beautiful daughter and you live some dream life sailing all over the world with this wonderful family. the sense of becoming complete for the first time again and again. that sense of bliss that comes from something novel mixed with the sense of comfort that comes from something sustained.

:)This has nothing to do with Johnny, but Its Finding Neverland, I cant forget it i woke up that morning and my dog of 12 years died right there on the bedroom floor and that movie was on the tv, I broke down crying and could not stop.
 
Excited is amused by getting older. when excited was young he cryed when godzilla was killed. as a teen excited cryed during bravehart. as an adult the notebook tore excited a new one.
 
My personal record for most consistent sobbing- Forrest Gump.
I can't even begin to count how many scenes make my throat swell and my eyes watery.

...and I'm proud to admit that!
 
this is predictable, but eternal sunshine of the spotless mind. i really lost it last time i saw it.
synecdoche, new york
the elephant in the room (when a lion dies)
the mirror scene in citizen kane made me cry, i think that was a high school existential crisis thing

can't think of any others, sometimes even just normal stuff makes me cry. because it is so normal? disconcerting.
 
The_Swimmer_poster.jpg


This is one of the best films I'd never heard of and a lost classic in my opinion (based on a short story by the same name). It's about a man at a pool party who realizes he can "swim" back to his place though the pools of his affluent neighborhood, and commits himself to the journey with eerie ambition. His character and past are revealed by his travels through locales symbolically woven with time itself, with the surrealism of the film realistically conveyed through carefully composed character interactions in normal environments. Rather than require the viewer to puzzle through abstruse narrative tangles like many heavy films the story of The Swimmer is unraveled naturally in the mind, a feat of direction that carries one effortlessly to a devastating conclusion about the American Dream.

The poster is in black and white but the film is in color. It's not available on Netflix at all strangely, but I was able to get it on a torrent site (can't find it for rent locally). It's also on Amazon Instant for $10.

Add a vote for "Grave of the Fireflies".

Another animated film I'd consider is "The Plague Dogs". Not as good as Grave, IMO, but it is depressing as hell. Especially if you like dogs. The book (by Richard Adams - the Watership Down author) is worse though. Lets just put it this way - the main characters are two dogs used in animal testing. Then it gets worse.

For live action films, I'd recommend "Mother Night". Also based on a book, this one by Kurt Vonnegut. This one opens in an Israeli prison cell, where the main character is being tried for crimes against humanity for his part as a propaganda artist for the Nazis.
 
Vonnegut novels don't seem to make very good movies (imo), but it hasn't stopped people from trying - too much of his voice is lost in the transition between media.

Then again, maybe I'm biased: I practically worship at the altar of Kurt Vonnegut.
