"Alex: The Life of a Child"

It was a 1986 TV movie starring Craig T. Nelson and Bonnie Bedilia as the parents of little Alex (Alexandra), who was diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis as a baby. The story was based on the real life of Sports Illustrated writer Frank Deford, whose daugther Alex died at the age of 8. During the 1970's most babies diagnosed with CF died fairly early on, but Alex lived for quite some time and was truly courageous.

My high school biology teacher showed this movie to the class one day and there wasn't a dry eye in the place.

One of only 2 or 3 movies I have ever cried at (and I didn;t cry at Old Yeller)!

In America is that about an Irish family living in New York. Just wondering.

The saddest movie I have ever seen is the notebook I think.

no! no! no! you've got it all wrong! West Side Story is by far the sadest ever. You all need to brush up on the classics.

Uh, a thread about the saddest movie ever and nobody has mentioned E.T.? THAT is the saddest movie I've ever seen HANDS DOWN.

For me the saddest movie ever is Watership Down. At the age of 36 I still can't watch it without shedding a tear.

Plenty of good choices here - I'm going with Old Yeller. As a kid, it just tore me up.

Couldn't handle Bambi and Dumbo either - even though they had happy endings.

I'm a bit of wimp when it comes to watching films and crying. The notebook is really sad but I also cried loads when I watched Pearl Harbour.

I cry every time I watch Steel Magnolia, Beaches, A Walk to Remember. These are also 3 of my favourite movies! Go figure!

I always thought a movie could never make me cry, I mean, I didn't even cry after watching "terms of endearment." This streak was broken by "The Fox and The Hound"

All of the movies mentioned are real 'tear jerkers' but the one movie that really gets to me (no one else has mentioned it ) is When A Man Loves A Woman -- makes me well up every time.

This one is an oldie, but The Other Side of the Mountain with Beau Bridges and Marilyn Hassett was a real tear jerker for me when I first saw it in the 70's. Especially since it's based on the real life story of former skiing champion Jill Kinmont.

Castaway, I bawled my eyes out when Wilson floated away, also, don't remember the namer of this one, Julia Roberts looked after a dude with terminal cancer, that was a three box tissue job.
