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

2Marley 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.

3Hachi: 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

4A 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...

5The 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.

6The 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

7Grave of the Fireflies
rate here after watching this film, sure titanic should below this!
It just says something that when I think of this movie I start to tear up.
very, very sad! Titanic should be below it!
Anyways, this movies is the only movie here I see that has gotten me close to tears

8The 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!

9My 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.

10The 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

The Contenders

11Up
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!

12Schindler'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

14A.I. - Artificial Intelligence
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!
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

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!

15Toy 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

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.
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
yeah its the only movie I ever broke a tear from... so sad when the dog dies and he sits there hugging it singing "every little thing is gonna be alright"
i never knew will smith was capable of such great acting

and why the hell is I am sam doing above this?... the guy went full retard... went home empty handed

17Seven 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.

20Pearl 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.

WHat can I say about it! The words can't express how this Movie is awesome!
I really cried throughout 130 min
I could not agree more! This was an incredibly telling and sad movie! Could not stop crying.
God, I have never been so emotionally attached with the characters. The little details, that little book that binds their love together, the little girl's thoughtfullness... It was truly amazing. That moment where she helps him out and he gets hurt. Oh the tears wont stop.

I didn't cry when I saw it the first time but my heart was for sure!
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

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.

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!

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!

27Requiem 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.

28Remember 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.
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?!
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.

29My Girl
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.
Macauley malcan dies in it... It was really sad.

32The Last Song
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!
One of the best movies I've ever seen in my life! Even I don't like miley cyrus, she can act! This is totally my story! I know how she felt in the story.. I saw it for the first time when it came out. I was 13 years old but I couldn't imagine that the same thing would happen to me.. Seriously, this movie should be in the TOP 10!
This mad me cry like a baby when I seen this movie, because I was invlove with Miley and on that exact day I watched it, it was the day when my GF broke up with me... so sad I don't know how to live my life anymore... I still love her... very much, ans so as Miley

34Ladder 49
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.

35Keith
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!
Great movie

37Atonement

Beautiful, sensual and desperately melancholic. It is incredibly rare to find a film like Atonement made by people who, at the exact same moment in time, are at the height of their power and crafts. A sheer pleasure to watch and a masterpiece of storytelling.

38The 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.

39Les Miserables (2012)
Eponine's death is literally the saddest one I have ever seen, I was hyperventilating when they sang a little fall of rain, never cried so much in my life! The music at the end and seeing gavroche/enjolras crying really gets to me, this film should be way higher up the list!
One of the only 2 movies to make me cry... The other being Titanic
When Éponine sings A Little Fall Of Rain with Marius, my heart just broke. I had to bite my cheek to keep from sobbing.

40Saving 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

41Million 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.
This movie is so sad, really opens up your eyes about other people in the world, how difficult it can be for a person with a disability to fight for one tiny breath to keep their life going.

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...

43Terms of Endearment
My mom R.I.P. turned me on to this movie. Never thought I'd be 33 without both parents. It's more than sad it's very emotionaly provocking.
I have never cried so hard from watching a movie until Terms of Endearment. This movie should be in the top ten list!
THIS MOVIE SHOULD BE #1 on the list. Pearl Harbor movie is higher on the list than this... Surely you jest!

44The Champ
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.

45Edward 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.

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.

59The 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.

60Ramona 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.

61Antichrist

62Somewhere 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.

63The 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 just watched this and to be honest: my make up is all over my face and I can't even talk or breath. First time that I watched it since I was 5 or so and didn't remember much of it. I haven't cried this much in a year, oh god. All these kind of animal stories make me emotional like a pregnant woman.
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!

64Dear John
Hospital scene was sad, took me back to when my father passed.

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

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... :-)

omg this movie was so great! Some plot twists in here though stick in your head for days on end... Truly sad but rewarding to watch movie.

82Gladiator
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

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... ,

This was a great film but it was very sad when toothless was drowning. And the ending was touching. Love this movie
From beginning to end, did not cry just because it was sad, but also very touching. A film to remember by

90My 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).

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.

92Braveheart
What! It deserves higher! Perhaps the best movie of all time!

philosnav

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

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!
This film makes me cry like a little girl... I love Albert Finney so much! He's a heartbreaker!
I had forgotten about this movie, abolutely! A heart wrenching final scene with this father at the river

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!
