So, here is the list of the top 3 saddest movies.
A.I. Artificial Intelligence (2001)
Certainly, some of Steven Spielberg’s best movies always make us cry, from ‘Schindler’s List’ to ‘ET the Extra-Terrestrial’. And there we include ‘AI Artificial Intelligence’, in which Haley Joel Osment once again broke our hearts. The story is set in a futuristic world in which humans coexist with humanoid robots, known as Mechas. Now, a robot named David has been programmed for something other than servitude. He can feel, he can love.
Cinema Paradiso (1988)
Not in a million years could we resist one of Ennio Morricone’s best soundtracks. Music that gets under your skin and a story that talks about dreams, friendship, love, and the magic of cinema. ‘Cinema Paradiso’ is a classic from the 80s in its own right and one of the movies that always makes us cry, especially in its final scene (you know which one we mean). The story follows Salvatore from his childhood in a small Italian town to the moment he leaves in search of a dream.
A Monster Calls (2016)
This film directed by JA Bayona requires a minimum of two packs of handkerchiefs to be viewed. At least if you have a sensitive heart. The story of this child who projects his problems into fantasies in the form of a monster has the ability to strike a chord with the viewer.
