My Top Favorite Sad Movies.

I love sad movies. I always have. I loved "Beaches" as a kid and I still love "Beaches" as an adult. By sad movies, usually I mean one where some dies or has to go away. The best sad movies are the ones based more in reality; the movies that remind you of your humanity. Not break up movies or anything Nicholas Sparks, though I've tried to like movies inspired by his books. I'm not a movie snob but "The Notebook" was really terrible, sadly. The ending is not sad and the only good parts are when the couple is young and broken up. "A Walk to Remember" could have been good but instead it was retarded. The best scene is the end. I love a good voice over, staring out into a sunset, reminiscing about the death of your "soul mate", but those movies are nothing compared to the ones on this list, the- saddest-most-heart-wrenching-reminds-you-of-your-humanity-beautifully-painful movies:

1. Beaches

2. My Girl

3. Steel Magnolias

4. Life as a House

5. P.S. I Love You

6. The Dangerous Lives' of Altar Boys
I couldn't find a respectable video of this movie anywhere!
7. The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas

8. One Last Thing

9. Patch Adams


and the saddest, most beautiful movie of all time

.10 Reign Over Me-

None of the above movies matter after you see "Reign Over Me". It's the most heart breaking movie I've ever watched. It's based on real events and you have to know that after you've watched it you've just peeked into the life of someone who lost the ones(s) they loved on 9/11. Someone that is real.

Charlie Fineman: Then I go inside the airport and I'm watching. I'm watching on the television... and I... and I... I... I saw it. I saw it and I felt it at the same time. I thought about Geena's birthmark, and I... I felt them burning...
