    Hey use the SPOILER code if you are posting a spoiler to a movie or tv show! Failing to do so after November 1st will result in a 1 hour infraction for being an idiot.
    This is the code:

    [noparse][/noparse]




    What TV show episode, movie or game made you feel the most sad.

    For me it is an episode of Doctor Who called The Girl in the Fireplace.
    The Doctor says to a Victorian woman who he had met throughout time do to these time windows that she can come see the universe with him. This near the end of the episode when all the problems have been solved. However time flows slower for the Doctor and he comes back just after she had died.

    Its one of the saddest things I have ever seen.

    Harper's Island Season one ending. Not necesserally sad, I didn't know what to feel. The story is really captivating

    The killer is the groom, who killed everyone to be with his best friend (girl). They were friends since childhood. And the story shows that. You dont figure out his the killer to the end when everyones practically dead. She is running from him because she thinks he psycho and then he catches up and grabs here (not wanting to hurt her) she grabs some type of whaling spear turns around and stabs him. For about 10 seconds they stare at each other and he says "I love you" then falls over dead". Everyone , all her friends family, are dead because earlier in the last episode was a flashback to their childhood where she said to him "I wish you and me could live alone on this island forever" (or something like that). Thats why he kills everyone. This left me with mixed feelings. I didn't know what to feel. Sad for the groom who even though obviously wasnt stable still and the fact he killed everyone including his friends and bride to be with her only to be betrayed by his friend, or the friend who's life was ruined by the person who was her best friend since they where children but had the best interest for her

    Its very complicated and watching the series will fill in all the gaps. But it was a very good series and I HIGHLY recommend watching it somehow. If you read the spoiler, sorry, the whole series was just spoiled.

    The saddest thing I have ever watched is America's Got Talent. They have the worst judges, contestants and the saddest audience I have ever seen.

    That is the most horribly beautiful picture I have ever seen. It just fortifies the fact that animals and humans can be best of friends, through life and death.

    A few come to mind.

    1. The ending of Batman. I think the little kid really made it go from kinda' sad to 'I've got something in my eye.'

    2. In Persona 3, the whole social link with the dieing kid is sad and at the same time very touching and inspiring.

    3. The Airman(?) Basicly, the protagisnist loses his entire family, sent to jail and his one friend who could get him out of it thinks he died and doesn't know what happened in reality. And he is stuck hearing news of how she's being manipulated to do the actual bad guys plan.

    4. That dog picture.

    5. Those adopt a dog adds in Ireland. Don't know if they still run but damn those were sad.

    USE...****ING...SPOILERS

    I'd be pissed if I hadn't seen all those films you've mentioned.

    As for me, here are a few I've seen. They're not spoilers persee, since everything is fairly straightforward in the movies to begin with, but if you're like me, watching certain trailers can inform you about **** you don't want to know.

    These are movies I highly recommend, so just watch em if you get the chance and skip the information entirely.

    Synecdoche New York
    You literally feel like you've been watching a 6 hour movie, that you just watched an entire man's life. It is all so fluid too, not like there's cuts between time periods, just flows into the next part. It is AMAZING

    Grave of the Fireflies
    From the start you know the protagonists are going to die, and it becomes a bittersweet narrative as you see these characters suffer through their lives in an attempt to make it passed the atrocities of WWII

    American Beauty
    Like the previous film, this one informs you that the main character is going to die at some point, since he's narrating from the perspective of a reflective dead person. It's awesome to see how his life goes from **** to splendid in such a short time frame with the foreboding knowledge that he's going to die sometime in the imminent future.

    Into the Wild
    This tells the fateful tale of Christopher McCandless, and due to Emile Hirsch's amazing acting, you really feel for the main character and which the story didn't end the way it did
