[Film] The most heartbreaking films of all time

[Meade's Ball]

The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp. The noble realisation that over time one's relevance dissipates.

 

[Cheeky Monkey]

The Bridges of Madison County for me. Heartbreaking story of chance meeting between Clint Eastwood and Meryl Streep turning into a lightning love affair between the two ending in separation to save her boring marriage

Blubbed like a baby at that one. So did half the cinema.

Excellent film. Saw it on Amazon a few years ago.

I likened it to a modern day Brief Encounter one of my favourite and most heart-breaking films of all time - with a great musical score which included Rachmaninov’s Piano Concerto no2 in C minor

 

[Durlston]

Just My Luck.

Fell in love with Lindsay Lohan and knew that banging her was going to be virtually impossible.

More chance of doing it virtually

 

[Sussexscots]

O.H.M.S.S George Lazenby delivers a genuinely emotional Bond.

Operation Daybreak.
Final scene with Anthony Andrews and Timothy Bottoms is not historically accurate, but full of pathos. Particularly as the end titles then show what happened to the other protagonists.

Silent Running. The little service robot, all alone maintaining the forest.

The yearling
This beautiful life
Dumbo
All brought tears to my cheeks

 

[Easy 10]

The ending to Les Miserables always gets me, when Jean Valjean passes, with Fantine leading the way for him. Chokes me up every time.

And the bit where Eponine dies at the barracade. Ok. I'm a mess.

Ur mum.

I prefer petite mort, can get very emotional

Grave Of The Fireflies.

Me too had me in floods of tears.

 

[The Antikythera Mechanism]

The most heartbreaking film I’ve ever seen. I could never watch it again
