Sadest ending to a tv series or film?

SimonTemplar

The ending of Turner & Hooch. God...it killed me as a teenager and even as an adult, there is no way I'd watch it again.

Come to think of it, Pans labyrinth was very sad,

God I'd forgotten about that. Wonderful film, but yes the ending was more than a little bitter sweet, with the emphasis on the bitter part.

The feels, reading this thread!

I'd have to concur with finding Marley & Me, Haichi, and the Futurama episode with Fry's dog, always chokes me up --- Anything to do with dogs, absolutely love them, gets to me every time when they pass.



A silly film, that a friend of mine did cry at the end, which hasn't been mentioned - Dragon Heart... :pac:

Ah jaysus, Dragonheart... That makes me cry like a baby :pac:

Don't laugh, but the end of Benjamin button when he was a baby and gone senile I thought was very sad.

Again, don't laugh.

I just remembered another one. On the Beach (1959)

A cold war drama set on a US Navy submarine as China invades Taiwan and WW3 kicks off and nuclear holocaust sweeps the earth.
I remember seeing the film first as a kid, God it was bleak and a couple of scenes stayed with me for life. Families getting in to bed together to take suicide pills rather then face a slow and painful death from radiation poisoning, and the final scenes on a beach in a deserted Melbourne where the submarine finally lands. It was just haunting stuff. But I guess that's a genre gauranteed to disturb, another film if that nuclear disaster genre that also shocked me as a kid was, 'When the Wind Blows' (1982) an animated film that depicts a nuclear strike on England, but it's focus is an elderly couple as they struggle to survive and make sense of what's happening, their slow demise from radiation poisioning, which the poor old dears don't really understand, is just harrowing because of their cheery naieve optimism. The film ends as they sit in their potato sacks in their makeshift shelter (a lean to make of an old door) and they try to remember how to say a prayer.

Not the ending, but the credits of 'The Littlest Hobo' always make me cry...he'll never settle down! Also the muscic to 'the flumps' for some reason. I'm 37.

The film 1984 is fairly sad at the end, when he finally breaks.

Also the series life on mars is sad at the end.

Agreed. That's a tough movie to watch.
