Stepmom is on so it made me think of the saddest movies ever:

My Girl
The Notebook
A Walk To Remember
Beaches

Any others?

One of my saddest movies of all time is actually just part of a movie: the 'Baby Mine' song in _Dumbo_. Aaaaaah!

Love Dumbo! I sang 'Baby Mine' to my son when he was in my belly. He LOVES the song & sings it alot!

Ordinary People - With Timothy Hutton - Very old movie. It's one of my favorites.

Meet Joe Black - With Brad Pitt. I don't know... I cried thru most of this movie.

What is Dancer In The Dark about?

Bjork stars as Selma, a Czech immigrant and single mother working in a factory in rural America. She is losing her eyesight and her 10 year-old son stands to suffer the same fate if she can't put away enough money to secure him an operation. (

Oh God, that does sound truly painful. I knew Bjork was in it and had something to do with eyesight...But yikes. I think I'll pass on that one.

and Donnie Darko left me depressed for days

I really found myself disturbed for a verrry long time after seeing this movie , not to mention I really had to THINK about what I'd just seen .. it was sad but in a very profound, incredibly thought-provoking way

Dh and I both love this movie though.. its really incredible

Re: Saddest movies of all time?

you have a good bunch of them here . . .I also think An Officer and a Gentleman is really sad, even though it has a techinical happy ending! That's also my fave movie of all time . . .
