My vote goes to My Life. Michael Keaton and Nicole Kidman find out they are going to have a son and then Michael Keaton finds out he's going to die of cancer before the kid is even born. A lot of him trying to connect with his kid through video before he dies. Not sure how much sadder you get than that.
Saddest movie ever

Happy Gilmore.
If you can hold back the tears when Happy surprises Chubbs with that Gator head and Chubbs falls out the window to his death, then life has turned your heart to granite, my friend.

I don't know if this will help but I am about to pee off the side of my bed into a peanut container because it has the biggest opening we have and I damn sure don't want to spill any.
Road to Perdition. Just a downer for 2 hours.
It’s a great flick but it’s just an emotional drag the whole way. Then when you think something good finally happened, bang.

You're gross, Glenn, Vulgar. I'll just ignore. Take care.
Old Yeller? I never saw it but my folks told me about it. what’s sad about handing a dog over to a farm family to live out the rest of his happy years?!?!
Yep. As well done as it is, just brutally hard for me to watch human suffering on that scale.
Transformers the movie 1986.
I was like 8 or 9 and they killed Optimus in the opening act. I was devastated. That whole movie was some serious violence and death. Some pretty dramatic crap for young me. But it was the 80s. They had balls back then. We all did. It was rated PG or R. no in-between. R usually meant you were going to see a boob.

Hachi: A Dog's Tale
Dog follows his owner to the commuter train every day and is there waiting for him when he comes back each day from work. The owner dies at work. Then it follows the dog who obviously doesn't know what happened to his owner.
If you love dogs, do NOT watch this movie. Dang it was sad.

They are going to drain my knees again tomorrow so hopefully that will give me relief. Quadruple bypass 16 days ago and what is the problem? My knees which is holding me up from doing the walking I need to be doing. It's getting aggravating.
Don't know you well, but you have been around the paddock whole time I have been here. Hope things improve for you and soon.

That and the neverending story both had scenes that devastated young bbi
In quicksand iirc. Something I assumed id have to navigate daily when i grew up.
When I was a kid I was certain I’d die either in quicksand or the Bermuda Triangle. Neither turned out to be much of an issue.
I totally forgot the Bermuda triangle. Good call. Did they actually figure that thing out? Or was it like most of these things and just easy content to scare kids?
Dude I have no idea. At some point in my teens, it just stopped being a thing. So weird.
A movie about a man willing to kill himself so his son, who needs a heart transplant, can have his heart is the correct answer. I don't show a lot of emotion but as a father I cry like a baby anytime I watch this film.
Elephant Man, based on a true story, was pretty awful to watch and imagine what that guy's life must have been like
The Bermuda Triangle doesn’t have any more missing planes or other weirdness than anywhere else. Easy content
When I was a kid ‘stop, drop, and roll’ was beat into our heads so much I thought people were just randomly bursting into flames. A love of ‘unsolved mysteries’ didn’t help
The original Hoosiers.
Most people never saw the version initially released. It told the story of a group of poor, ghetto black kids in South Bend, enduring years of racism, terrible schools and broken families, who come together over the one thing that gives them hope -- basketball.
Overcoming systemic racism, they make the Indiana State Finals, against a team of privileged white kids from an excellent school, nice homes and stable families. Their talent should have made the game a blow out, but racist refs keep the game close. In the last sequence, the refs ignore a mugging - obvious foul - and let the white team steal the ball. In a final heartbreak, some preppy kid who had only played part of the year after ditching his teammates, hits a lucky shot, and once again the dreams of kids who had faced a struggle all their lives are shattered.
When the movie was released, audiences found it too depressing. So the producers pulled it, did a hasty re-edit around a storyline of the privileged kids once again getting things to go their way, and it became a typical Hollywood fairy tale instead of a gritty, heartbreaking look at another lost American dream.

Talking about emotion....unsolved mysteries was definitely up there too. The music, imagery, and robert stack's delivery had me scared of aliens, bermuda triangle, and random serial killers looking in my window.
