For a long time Requiem for a dream was the saddest movie I have seen but then I watched a finnish movie called Frozen Land which is even more depressing. At the beginnig of the movie an old teacher is displaced by a younger one which causes a chain reaction of accidental occurrences that destroys the life of a lot of people.

Now there's a blast from the past. Yeah, that was extremely sad. Timothy Hutton was sooo good in that one, and so was, surprisingly, Mary Tyler Moore.

I remember seeing Beaches when I was a kid and it was pretty sad.

If I recall correctly, the filmmakers were originally just trying to make a flick about the Golden Gate bridge, but they kept seeing people jump or come up and hang around thinking about jumping, so suddenly they found themselves making a different movie.

Not sure if this is true or not. There is a note in the credits that says that the movie was inspired by an article published somewhere called "Jumpers." But no idea about whether the suicide aspect was the original goal or not.

That's what I remember reading at the time. Could be a little of both. It might have been the article called Jumpers inspired them to actually make a movie out of what they were seeing. But their original intent, from what I read, was not to sit there for a year waiting to see suicide-related activities.

The Stone Boy, about a kid who accidentally shoots his brother. Monsters Ball. The last 5 minutes of Hair.

Tranformers: The Movie

The Green Mile.

"Futurama: Luck of the Fryish" made me cry the first time I saw it too. It's kinda silly, but I though it was really sad.
