Just finished watching "Everything Is Illuminated" with Elijah Wood. It's about war, remembering, and being kind. Ummm....it's making me get teary-eyed. :[

Brief Encounter is the saddest movie I ever saw.

Sad is in, horribly made or sad as in touching? If it's the second of the two, I'll check it out this weekend! I love when someone can make a movie that really sends a message to the viewer.

Sad as in heartbreaking. It exudes heartbreak. Written by the maestro, Noel Coward, starring great character-actor Trevor Howard (who also features in the immense The Third Man).

You should watch some of Douglas Sirk's melodramas, like All That Heaven Allows.

I thought Everything Is Illuminated was superb. Excellently paced and packed a hefty emotional punch while still being at point hilarious. The younger guide (the one obsessed with american hip-hop culture) was genius and the little character touches (like Woods OCD thing of collecting loads of stuff and putting it in baggies) all helped towards an extremely well written and pleasingly shot film. 7/10.

yes it's Thurman Merman :)
i got teary-eyed a few times. that film had been hanging around my front room for ages. i finally got it out as i thought it was just what i needed (a silly no brainer of a comedy with good acting) and ended up nearly as messed-up as when i last saw Jacob's Ladder.

I downloaded it a while back; certainly wasn't expecting it to be as it was... Billy Bob Thornton did a sterling turn. It's a real good movie... actually, I honestly think his performance should have been Oscar nominated.

he seemed to really understand that role, a part of him maybe and a hint as to why he chose it. his delivery was spot on.

Punch Drunk Love is kinda sad.

and at the resturaunt when he's talking about his fav. radio dj...
how sad and pathetic barry eagon really is truly comes out...

anyone ever been to a film that the projectionist didn't align right and you end up seeing the boom mics and cameras and other such movie making gear in the periphery? I have and it went from drama to comedy at that moment.

No!!! Maybe i should. The movie was gut wrenching. I've never seen anything like it. I was emotionally hurt by it.

My mum recommended the book to me, then bought it for me: one of the best autobiographies I've ever had the good fortune to read... also, not a sad movie but one of the saddest diaries I've ever read is The Diaries of Kenneth Williams.

The 70s animated movie... didn't know there was another Watership and just checked IMDB to see that there was a cartoon series based on it. Weak.
