[Film] The most heartbreaking films of all time

[rigton70]

The Champ with Jon Voight and Ricky Schroeder.

This film made every girl cry where i used to work. My girlfriend at the time asked me for a sad film to watch so i downloaded The Champ she passed that film around her girlfriends and everyone cried allegedly this was 2003ish.

The only film that made me cry was a boy dying of cancer i do not remember the name though 1979/80/81 made maybe?

 

[Chicken Run]

For me it’s Road to Perdition

 

[Fiskmås]

Dancer in the dark. Jesus Christ, loved it, but never ever watching it again.

 

[The Clamp]

Manchester By The Sea

and

About Time (cheesy but it gets me every time)

are the two films that spring to mind.

 

[Crawley Dingo]

The final episode of Blakes 7 and Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

 

[The Grockle]

I dont think I've ever cried watching a film as an adult but came close watching bridge to terabithia with my daughter recently.

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

I won't go anywhere near anything like the stuff mentioned on this thread. Life is itself problematic enough without watching variants of misery in a movie. The moment any cruelty appears, I'm off.

The Boy In The Striped Pyjamas turned me into a mess. Woke up the next morning & it was first thing I thought about as well.

Possibly thinking of Mask which was about Rocky Dennis? Made in 1985 and starred Eric Stoltz in the lead role?

 

[Change at Barnham]

Ring of Bright Water - the end is completely devastating. Never been able to watch it since.

RIP Tarka.
As a kid this totally shattered me.

Was it a musical ?

 

[Brownstuff]

Only really watch films once but seem to remember Lorenzo’s Oil being a bit of a tear jerker.
