Sad Movies (as in sad the opposite of happy)
I like movies which end on a sad note . They somehow seem to be more realistic and convincing . Agreed that people come to watch a movie to have a nice time . Its a break that they want from their mundane and not so fair ,reality . It takes them away from their own lives and into one of joy and happiness . But somehow , sad ends move you in a strange way . Could you please suggest some good ones ?

hmmm. i dont like sad movies. but most of the good movies are one's which are sad. like "life is beautiful".. one of my all time fav.
There's this one movie... L'Affair Pornographique. It's a French movie that has been made in English too. Do an IMDB on it to find the English title. It's not distressing kinda sad, but a little sad. And no, it's not porn. Then there's Sweet November. Both are romantic sad. One of my all time favourites is Road To Perdition. It's a dramatic sad. And hmmm, I'll suggest a few more once I've given it some more thought.
If its English you are looking for, then here are my 2 suggestions:
1) Blow (stars Johny Depp) - One of those you-have-to-see-it movies.
2) City of God - Its a portuguese movie with English subtitles. The subtitles are enough.
If you are really into sad then watch Darren Aronofsky's "Requiem for a Dream" (Its sad as in pathetically sad) and "Pi" (kind of a sad thriller).
Romantically sad, I would suggest "The Notebook".
for me its not bout sad, or happy, i like movies which end either in a very unpredictble way or in a very unsaid way.
leavin a lot to think about.
try quills. not really sad but gripping and thought provoking on many levels
