My favorite tragic moive - and one of my all time favorite movies, period, is Requiem for a Dream.

Everyone tries to get better but they just can't overcome the odds. I find that the movie is very highly emotional for me. The whole movie in general, especially the last ten minutes are heartbreaking.

I'm a real sucker for tragedies, particularly of the romantic kind.

Titanic is my favourite movie, still. I just watched it again a few weeks ago and was struck by how genuinely moved I was by it.

There have been some lame tearjerkers like Autumn in New York and some mediocre ones like Sweet November, but there are some that kind of make up for that.

Moulin Rouge! is another favourite of mine, and I was really caught up in it and definitely cried at the end.

I don't make a point of watching tragic movies. I don't think they are bad or anything, I'm just extremely sensitive. If a movie is in the least bit sad then you can guarantee that I will be crying like a baby.
There is a lot of movies that either end tragically or there is some sort of tragedy throughout the plot. But some are just way more tragic than others such as Steel Magnolias, Titanic, Pearl Harbor and Ghost.
I find Murder in The First to be really tragic. It's not really a tearjerker, but it's just so extremely horrible to see what Henry Young has to go through while locked up in Alcatraz. It's disgusting and sad.

I don't purposely watch a movie because it's tragic, but I do enjoy them, even if they make me sad. I don't really cry about sad stuff in real life, I just bottle it all inside, but I do cry like a baby with tragic movies.

Real life tradegies make me cry more than I would at just a regular movie. Like Selena, I cried like a baby at the theatre when I seen that movie. And I wasn't the only one, othe women and men cried too. Guess it hit close to home.

Another movie....La Bamba....Titantic....movies like that make me sob.

S.A.S.H.A. · 03-26-2005, 12:14 AM

I've seen La Bamba countless times growing up. I don't remember ever crying for this movie, but I probably did when his mother cried over his death while in her other son's arms.

I love that movie.

I saw Titanic once, and it was sad, but I didn't cry. Probably because I didn't find Leonardo's character convincing. And I only saw about the first 30 minutes of Selena at a cousin's house years ago before I left the room, so I didn't get to her tragic ending. It's just that Tex-Mex music drives me mad.

LaBamba makes me cry everytime I see it. I always assume that I won't cry because I have seen it so many times and know what's going to happen. But it gets me everytime.

Jordan23 · 03-26-2005, 01:54 PM

Cadence, same here, that movie gets me everytime.

Sasha, you should give Selena another try. The ending is the saddest part of the movie.

For Titantic, I didn't cry so much b/c of Leo and Kate's characters. Bur rather the people that died out in the water. Cause I know that part was true and very sad.

Im a sucker for Tragic movies also, I cant stay away from them. I think a few movies that really got me crying or feeling for them are..

A Time to Kill

Titanic

Green Mile

Carrie

Romeo and Juliet

Rainstorm, I LOVE A Time to Kill. Gets me everytime when Jake is doing his last speech to the jury.

AutumnColorsღ · 03-26-2005, 03:22 PM

Oh god I know

and the beginning is always upsetting.

Jordan23 · 03-26-2005, 03:31 PM

I agree...that beginning pisses me off! But the ending is powerful.

S.A.S.H.A. · 03-26-2005, 04:14 PM

Ugh, the beginning of A Time to Kill makes me want to jump into the screen and start castrating.

I first saw that movie the same night I saw yet another tragic movie with a horrid beginning, Eye for an Eye. It was quite the evil-Kiefer-Sutherland-characters evening.

Sasha

Jordan23 · 03-26-2005, 04:32 PM

Oh I agree...Eye For a Eye is another great movie to watch and equally pisses me off too.

AutumnColorsღ · 03-26-2005, 04:40 PM

yeah the beginning of Time to kill pissed me off as well. I wanted to jump in the screen and kick those two old dudes butts for rapping that little girl

Ive never seen Eye for an Eye, whats that about?
