This may sound weird, but I love sad movies. Maybe because most of them have a good message behind them and they are very meaningful. I love Pay It Forward, Titanic, The Guardian, Ladder 49, My Girl, Jersey Girl, and I can't really think of anymore but if I do, I'll add them in here. So any suggestions on great, sad movies would be appreciated. Thanks:)

How about Running with Scissors?? Storyline is a 13 year old has an acholic as a dad and a biopolar poet as a mother. His parents relationship is falling apart and Deidre (Annette Benning who was nominated for a golden globe) Burroughs finds a psychiatrist named Dr. Finch (Brian Cox). They do split up and Augusten (Joseph Cross) starts to see the psychiatrist at his house. Then the craziness starts when Deidre leaves Augusten at the Finches house for a week because she fears his father is trying to kill her. The Finches home is out of the ordinary. Agnes (Dr. Finches wife, Jill Clayburg) eats dog food, they have had a Christmas Tree up for over two years, pills are consumed like candy, there adopted teen daughter, Natalie (Evan Rachel Wood) likes to use electroshock therapy, and there are basically no rules in the home. They can do anything like trap there cat in a laundry basket till it dies, stage a suicide so they will get out of school, and even bash open the kitchen ceiling for no aparant reason. Eventually, taking all the different medication starts to make Deidre out of the ordinary and she changes. And along with her, so does her son.
It is REALLY GOOD even though it has negative reviews and it will change the way you think. You owe it to yourself to see this movie. There are MANY possitive messages like you will no longer think that your parents are weird, you will realize how horrible, deppressing, and agrivating some peoples lives are, and most of all, the movie gives you hope that if this kid can get out of this mess, pretty much anything is possible.......
Also read the book by Augusten Burroughs

Armagedon with Bruce Willis
Gladiator with Russel
Alpha Dog with Justin Timberlake
The Outsiders with Emilio Estaves

And for the girls, "A Walk to Remember" with Mandy Moore.
These are all great movies where main characters die.
