Movies have the power â to inspire and touch us. Some of them make us laugh đ uncontrollably, others leave us angry đĄ or anxious or dazzled, and still others leave us absolutely bawling. I âšī¸ personally love đ sad đĸ movies đĨ even though I âšī¸ watch đē them knowing that I'll be a đ °ī¸ sniffling, quivering ball đž of feels by the time đ the end đ credits roll. Of course, sadness đĸ is pretty subjective, you know? What makes me sad đĸ might not make you sad đ and vice versa. So, here's my list of the 10 đ saddest movies đĻ not just of 2016, but of all time. It's definitely not a đ °ī¸ comprehensive list, so after you check âī¸ out the films that make me sob like đ a đ °ī¸ baby, make sure you include your top đ picks!
As soon đ as I âšī¸ started seeing comments and previews about Me Before You on đ all my news đ° feeds and timelines, I âšī¸ knew it was going đ to be a đ °ī¸ tearjerker and boy đĻđŊ was I âšī¸ right! I saw this without having read đ the book đ and it just crushed me, absolutely destroyed me! I âšī¸ don't know if I âšī¸ can even handle the novel đ â how much will it make me cry, given that it's one 1ī¸âŖ of the saddest movies đĨ of 2016 so far?
I âšī¸ did read đ this book đ before seeing the movie đĨ and I âšī¸ cried for almost an hour afterward. So sad! When we saw it at the show, I âšī¸ basically started sobbing đ during the first 1ī¸âŖ scene and didn't stop đ until sometime after we got home. I âšī¸ saved it forever on đ my DVR once it came out, and sometimes when I âšī¸ need a big đ release, I watch â it and just bawl.
Any movie đĨ where something happens to an animal, I'm done. I've only seen this once because that's seriously all I âšī¸ could handle. It's absolutely heartbreaking, especially if you're a đ °ī¸ dog-lover. Does anyone else gather up đ your pets when you see something awful happen to an animal đ in a đ °ī¸ movie đĨ or on đ TV?
I âšī¸ know it's kind of sappy, but it's also so, so sad. Nicholas Sparks and his damn letters, they're specifically designed to rip đ your heart â¤ī¸ out, aren't they? Still, at least the hint of hope đ balances out some of the film's sadness.
Lyndsie first 1ī¸âŖ showed me this movie, which she loves â¤ī¸ even though she cries through most of it. She did it partly to introduce me to Ian Somerhalder but mainly because it's beautiful and devastating and so touching, all at once. Plus, with Kevin Kline, Kristin Scott Thomas, and Jena Malone, you can't really go wrong.
This is such a đ °ī¸ beautiful, amazing movie. It's a đ °ī¸ story that needed very much to be told, but it's sad đĸ that many of the people đģ who most need to know the story won't have any interest in watching đ it. It's illuminating and revealing, plus â it's a đ °ī¸ genuinely gorgeous movie. I âšī¸ know there was some controversy about the casting, but Eddie Redmayne was pretty stellar in the role.
This movie đĨ kills me every single 1ī¸âŖ time. I read đ the short story it's based on đ before the movie đĨ came out, and I âšī¸ loved â¤ī¸ it, but this is one case đŧ where the movie đĨ is so much better. It was just âĻ beautiful and brutal and so incredibly heartbreaking. It's definitely in my top đ five 5ī¸âŖ list of the saddest movies đĨ ever made and so many parts of it leave me crying.
The world lost đ such a đ °ī¸ bright, beautiful, shining đ light đĨ when Selena was taken from it. This movie đĨ introduced so many people đ¸ to her music, her message, and her life, but it's such a đ °ī¸ tragedy that this was what it took. Jennifer Lopez did a đ °ī¸ truly awesome đ job, but the entire cast was wonderful â they captured the family's love đ for each other so well!
This movie đĨ is just the best for so many reasons. I âšī¸ think it hits hard because it's also full đĩ of so many funny, touching, and frustrating moments. I love đ this kind of movie, that focuses on đ friendships and families, their day-to-day lives and their milestones. It has so many fantastic quotes, but it also has one 1ī¸âŖ of the saddest storylines ever.
Oh, Thomas Jay! He can't see without his glasses đ â I âšī¸ can't even handle that! Anna Chlumsky was a đ °ī¸ radiant, adorable, wise-but-wide-eyed Vada, and Macaulay Culkin was just âĻ this was so far removed from Home đ¨âđ¨âđĻâđĻ Alone, you know? The entire cast was awesome, and the retro coming-of-age aspect of the story was so great đ that this is still one 1ī¸âŖ of my favorite movies, even though it turns me into a đ °ī¸ puddle.
Your turn! Give up đ your pick for the saddest movies đĨ of 2016 and beyond!
