Films with sad endings? (spoilers!)

[Mickey1]

I recently watched Stephen King

The Vanishing (original dutch version) I'm still reeling...

 

[KIVEN <<]

Haven't seen that. Only saw the US remake a long time ago (and I didn't even know it was a remake then). I don't remember it much, only that it had a very young and, at the time, unknown Sandra Bullock in it.

The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas

Agreed, although I could see that ending coming along from a mile off.

Also: Titanic, The Green Mile, Let Him Have It, Philadelphia.

The US remake turned the ending into a happy one because they felt Americans wouldn't be able to cope... unsurprisingly... (WARNING: SPOILERS)

Far from Heaven

For a moment I thought you meant Kingdom of Heaven. As far as I could tell, the only thing sad about that was casting Orlando Bloom in a lead role.

No, no, no! this is the one with Julianne Moore!

The Sweet Hereafter, it's an out of sequence ending that makes it all the more sad. I cried the first time I saw this film.

Agree. Even though I knew how it ended having read the book seeing it acted out was moving.
