Non-cliche sad movies by oot 2011-02-17 16:02:41
I am looking for movies likely to cause crying... plenty out there, but with a twist: they can not be centered on any of the following cliches:
  • Children or animals
  • Illness/disability
  • Loss of a parent/grandparent/etc.
  • Persecution of minorities about which such movies are frequently made (LGBT, Jewish, black, etc.)
  • Love stories
...which isn't to say something is disqualified just because it happens to contain a dog, or a romantic sub-plot, etc. -- it's only disqualified if the thing that makes the movie sad is one of them.
