That insipid movie about the 'quirky girl' who became a caregiver for a rich,  handsome paraplegic. She falls in love. He kills himself and leaves her with money.

sounds very boring.  I would probably go to sleep rather than get emotional over that kind of tear jerking tripe.

I thought the really emotional bit in Schindler was when the little girl in the red dress was running around, not the ending.

When Liam Neeson loses the plot realising he could have saved more people, how could that not be sad?

Apparently the girl in red was Spielberg's decision, the only color in the film apart from the Shabbat candles. She symbolises the death of innocence, and also may refer to the red flags used by the Jews in pleading for help from the Allies.

Fallen (1998)

 

Time is on my side.....

 

 

Didn't read the previous 3 pages, but I know about a movie that is still in my mind from 90s. A British one called <Breaking the waves>. Great movie !!

Terminator 2. Very sad ending.

Guess your Mrs is cold-hearted and you are trying to make her watch something, to see if she is having any emotions ???? 

Me before you.... [spoiler alert] he dies at the end.

After having lived in Thailand for 11 years and watched a movie on my computer each night, just within the past 6 months I have noticed that I have to be very careful about the kind of movies I watch. If they are highly emotional, violent, vulgar, scary or stressful to watch in any way, I have to turn them off. I develop severe anxiety and my pulse and blood pressure surges. These movies go deep into your spirit and affect your subconscious mind, and this will trigger depression, anxiety, fear and sleepless nights. Be very careful what you put into your spirit!

Se7en, although I was somewhat shocked all the way through wondering who had concocted such a sick story line. 

 

Fun fact; Kevin Spacey didn't get a mention in the opening credits. Once you see Pitt and Freeman it would then be obvious who the killer was going to be.

got to admit this one really got to me

 

Basically most of the XXX rated movies. You never know if the plumber fixes the sink, the Pizza delivery guy gets a tip, the pool boy cleans the tiles...

""Love is a many splendored thing""

 

From the '50's. Great theme tune also

It's a Thai forum, but it is aimed at Farangs, so it should be about Farang movies.

I never said the ending wasn't sad at all, just that for me the red dress bit was the saddest part.

Sorry, but I felt so little empathy for Di Caprio character that when he died I didn't care, and when she threw a gem worth a fortune away I just thought what a waste- if she didn't want it she could have sold it and given the money to charity.

However, I do understand that a lot of people did feel sad at the end. To each their own.

Also, if it was about Thai films only, it's be a very short thread.

Can't remember the name but the Korean film where the deaf guy tries to sell his kidney to save his sister and gets ripped off was pretty sad at the end.

Also the one where the hero gets kidnapped and put in a prison because he insulted a rich guy. At the end he cuts his own tongue out.

Loads of Asian films are very sad.

Spielberg did have the knack of making movies that tugged on the heartstrings.

Yes, Thais are good at making very funny movies and very sad movies. They don't seem to make much in between other than ghost movies.
