I think this is one of the most beautiful films ever made and that it is both amazingly hilarious and incredibly depressing at the same time. But it would be One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest. Watching it last night, I cried at the end of the film with Chief and Mac.

The Elephant Man

its like a punch in balls

well maybe not quite like that

Kes

I'm not sure I would allow that asshole brother to take another breath, and if I ever sat on him, he WOULD NEVER brethe again (and I don't believe in the death penalty, at least in the real world).

I cried buckets while watching Stepmom (I was really young when I watched it) and I don't think I've ever cried so much while watching a movie. It's probably one of the saddest films that Julia Roberts have ever acted in. Granted, it's not the best film ever, but its still a very poignant one.

Sleeping is giving in...so lift those heavy eyelids!

Your crying at this movie may say more about you than about the movie. However, as I recall, the movie is a mainstream movie that does require Julia Roberts (as stepmom) and Susan Sarandon to have to experience the trials of having a child hate their guts. It hurts! I can identify with your pain.

Yeah lol. What can I say, I was an emo kid when I was 13.

Some films that brought on tears were

Forest Gump, I don’t know why, but that film always gets me, particularly the scenes when he breaks the braces off his legs running, and the scene where his mother is dying.

Blow, the ending is just so sad, it always gets me.

Requiem for a Dream had me crying like a baby...

I cried and cried while watching "Winged Migration"...so poignant, so beautiful to watch these magnificant birds...actually, I cannot watch any animal movie without crying or feeling like I want to jump up and murder all human beings who are cruel to animals...

I'm almost moved to tears by the ending of Tim Burton's Big Fish.
During My Girl I started crying when she read her poem. No other movie has done that to me.
But Requiem For a Dream is the most depressing movie I have ever seen.

I don't think I've ever cried in a movie, but I thought Million Dollar Baby and Lord of the Rings: TROTK were very moving, especially Million Dollar Baby which was depressing (in a good way).

i felt that "The Invisible" was a sad movie. I nearly lost it at the end. Sounds lame, but true.

I haven't seen the movie, but based on the trailers, the premise of being invisible to everyone sounds pretty sad to me. Thanks for pointing out the movie.

I remember "The Lion King" was the first movie I ever sniffled to. As an adult, I felt quite sad about "Love Story".

"LOTR:ROTK" gave me a lump in my throat, but not because it was sad, just really beautiful. A movie I've shed (happy) tears over is "Kannathil Mutthamittal" ('A Peck On The Cheek' - a Tamil movie), a movie about an adopted girl who searches for her mother in war-torn Sri Lanka.

I think my saddest movies would have to be "Philadelphia", "Saving Private Ryan" and "Indian" (another Tamil movie in which there's a scene where the protagonist's daughter dies from an LPG explosion at home).

I am surprised that not one person has mentioned the movie My Life with Michael Keeton and Nicole Kidman. I am not a person who will cry often at all. But I can honestly say this movie moved me to tears.

Alright, I just watched Requium for a Dream and didn't find it to be sad in the least bit. I thought the movie was messed up, but sad.... Absolutely not!!!

Normally an Adam Sandler movie would make me laugh hysterically, but Click was surprisingly sad, and did bring tears to my eyes.

For me, it's The Bicycle Thief and Sicko.

I'd like to second Leaving Las Vegas, House of Sand and Fog, and Breaking the Waves as some of the more tragic movies I've ever seen. I'd also like to add Waking the Dead, another Jennifer Connelly movie, and Hilary and Jackie, another film starring Emily Watson.

The only time I've ever cried during a movie was during the end of The Passion of Christ and the end of Kill Bill Vol. 2.
