re: Your top 3 saddest movies?

These are the ones that make me tear up, no matter how many times I see them.
1. The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance - If you don't tear up after seeing John Wayne being buried in a pauper's grave, then the train engineer saying, "Nothing's too good for the man who shot Liberty Valance" to Jimmy Stewart...it gets me every time.
2. Schindler's List - The red coat
3. The Razor's Edge - "He will not be missed"...especially when you remember Piedmont is being played by Bill Murray's brother. Great retelling of the Somerset Maugham classic.

Gleason is probably the only movie I've cried watching in my life.

I will never watch this movie. I just don't think I can stand it.

It's gut-wrenching. My stomach tightens up just thinking about it.
But, I'm one of those people who prefers dogs to most people, so maybe it doesn't hit everyone the same way.

Love Story (1970 version) with Ali MacGraw & Ryan O'Neal and Brian's Song are the two saddest movies of all time imo.

Anyone who doesn't cry at Ole Yeller is more than likely psychopathic.

The Sweet Hereafter
Not really close in terms of non-Documentary films or non-Holocaust films.

For some reason my mom let me watch Turner and Hooch when I was little and that was rough as hell. If I ever become an actor I'll know what to think of to cry on cue

Only 3 movies have ever made me cry:
1. Beaches
2. The Sand lot
3. Cool Running
Undercover Boss gets me everytime.

I think scenes/movies that deal with loss/death between Father-Son or Man-Dog seem to hit me the hardest. Sometimes it's brother-brother or just between males friends. Kids, sometimes get me, but it's usually boys.
It's rarely a movie that involves a female(s) crying. I think Julia Roberts' snot-filled over-the-top ugly cry in Steel Magnolias desensitized me permanently to any sad female scenes.

Scenes of stoic loss hit much harder than blubbering. Saving Private Ryan's most gut wrenching part for me..."Tell me I've led a good life. Tell me I'm a good man"

Big Fish is a great choice. It’s one of my favorite movies.

Dear Zachary.
I made it through once, could never do it again and zero want to do it again. True evil there.
I'm sorry, but the liberal parents who thought they could "work" with the psycho killer lose me. I watched it on YouTube after the recommendations here, and I can appreciate the sentiments expressed to some extent, but ultimately have to kind of shrug my shoulders and say, "what did you expect from her?" The parents were literally cooperating and participating in the life of the killer of their only son. I know it was "for the grandkid," but welcome to reality. She was a psychotic murderer!
Anyways...
Stand by Me. (when it's revealed what happened in adulthood)
The opening montage of Up!
Southpaw (ridiculously over the top with maudlin, but Gyllenhaal sells it).
Another one not mentioned:
Midnight Cowboy. The bus scene, of course, with that moving harmonica...moves you more than it really should.
