My vote goes to My Life. Michael Keaton and Nicole Kidman find out they are going to have a son and then Michael Keaton finds out he's going to die of cancer before the kid is even born. A lot of him trying to connect with his kid through video before he dies. Not sure how much sadder you get than that.
Saddest movie ever

Then Glory Road. Still hate seeing UK lose.

I don't know if this will help but I am about to pee off the side of my bed into a peanut container because it has the biggest opening we have and I damn sure don't want to spill any.
Road to Perdition. Just a downer for 2 hours.
It’s a great flick but it’s just an emotional drag the whole way. Then when you think something good finally happened, bang.

The answer is Dear Zachary.
Old Yeller? I never saw it but my folks told me about it. what’s sad about handing a dog over to a farm family to live out the rest of his happy years?!?!
Shoah. Yeah, cheating a bit because it's not fiction.
If you were a kid in the 50s, Old Yeller was unendurable.
The Charlie Chaplin movie City Lights is another one that tears people up. If you've never seen it, I won't spoil it for you.

Yep. As well done as it is, just brutally hard for me to watch human suffering on that scale.
Because the farm family ******* murdered him.
Transformers the movie 1986.
I was like 8 or 9 and they killed Optimus in the opening act. I was devastated. That whole movie was some serious violence and death. Some pretty dramatic crap for young me. But it was the 80s. They had balls back then. We all did. It was rated PG or R. no in-between. R usually meant you were going to see a boob.

Hachi: A Dog's Tale
Dog follows his owner to the commuter train every day and is there waiting for him when he comes back each day from work. The owner dies at work. Then it follows the dog who obviously doesn't know what happened to his owner.
If you love dogs, do NOT watch this movie. Dang it was sad.

They are going to drain my knees again tomorrow so hopefully that will give me relief. Quadruple bypass 16 days ago and what is the problem? My knees which is holding me up from doing the walking I need to be doing. It's getting aggravating.
Don't know you well, but you have been around the paddock whole time I have been here. Hope things improve for you and soon.

That and the neverending story both had scenes that devastated young bbi
In quicksand iirc. Something I assumed id have to navigate daily when i grew up.
When I was a kid I was certain I’d die either in quicksand or the Bermuda Triangle. Neither turned out to be much of an issue.
I totally forgot the Bermuda triangle. Good call. Did they actually figure that thing out? Or was it like most of these things and just easy content to scare kids?
Dude I have no idea. At some point in my teens, it just stopped being a thing. So weird.
A movie about a man willing to kill himself so his son, who needs a heart transplant, can have his heart is the correct answer. I don't show a lot of emotion but as a father I cry like a baby anytime I watch this film.
The Champ starring Jon Voight. Cried my eyes out. Watched in hotel room. Got up next day and told the guy I was with & he'd watched it too & said the same thing.
Elephant Man, based on a true story, was pretty awful to watch and imagine what that guy's life must have been like
The Bermuda Triangle doesn’t have any more missing planes or other weirdness than anywhere else. Easy content
When I was a kid ‘stop, drop, and roll’ was beat into our heads so much I thought people were just randomly bursting into flames. A love of ‘unsolved mysteries’ didn’t help
Talking about emotion....unsolved mysteries was definitely up there too. The music, imagery, and robert stack's delivery had me scared of aliens, bermuda triangle, and random serial killers looking in my window.
The truly sad, heartbreaking part of this? By the time the kid was old enough to understand, that video format was extinct, there was no easy way to view the tapes, mom had moved on to step-dad and no one ever bothered to have those cassettes transferred over to a medium the kid could watch.

My Girl. When she shows up at his funeral and breaks down over him not having his glasses on was tough on 11 year old me.
And Spielberg was directing Jurassic Park at the same time. I can't fathom the shifts of emotion from doing arguably one of the most important and depressing films ever made to a summer blockbuster about a dinosaur park.
