24/7 Tempo's Saddest Movies Ever Made

"Everyone has a different idea of what's sad & what isn't, to be sure; you might be sobbing through a film's finale, while somebody next to you is nodding off from boredom. You might be laughing at the absurdity of a cinematic twist of fate, while everybody else in the theater is sniffling & dabbing at their tear ducts. To determine the saddest movies, 24/7 Tempo began with more than 600 movies found on the user-created lists of sad films found on Internet Movie Database (IMDb). Next, we narrowed down the list by choosing films that were the most popular with both amateur & professional viewers, considering the Rotten Tomatoes (RT) average critic & audience ratings & the IMDb average user ratings. We picked the films with at least 10,000 user ratings between IMDb & RT and 10 approved "Tomatometer" critic reviews. Once we had that list, we brought editorial discretion into play, deleting movies that didn't seem sufficiently moving & adding some that we deemed essential." - 247tempo.com
