Stephen Spielberg's AI.

Particularly sad that Kubrick didn't get to do it.

It was his movie.

The Straight Story, David Lynch. Jerked all the tears right out of me. (Million Dollar Baby too, actually--although Eastwood reading Yeats in Irish is quite ridiculous, since Yeats could only write in English).

Yup and Yup. I listed these in the most disturbing movie thread.

I also agree with Life is Beautiful. One of the most beautiful and sad movies ever made.

Agreed. However, I think Speilburg did it justice. I imagine Kubrick's version being a lot darker with less emotion.

Without thinking, the most recent 'sad' film (actually it's a documentary) that I have seen, has to be 'Grizzly Man'. It's about this guy Timothy Treadwell. I just happened to switch onto National Geographic the other night, and the first thing that caught my attention was the incredible footage. So I sat through the rest.... it was unbelievable stuff. Granted, it fits into more categories than 'Sad'. I honestly thought it was joke at first, but it's based on a true story! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timothy_Treadwell

Yeats did understand Irish though and he translated various myths as part of the cultural revival movement in the late nineteenth century.
