It's been awhile--- Top 5 saddest movies

I know I know, it's been awhile. Thanks so much for the comments and your input. Dad, The Godfather is classic, honestly that might have been on my list, but really, I totally forgot about it. Josh, Kill Bill has some great death scenes, but I did put in some pulp fiction. Jen, way to keep it on the nose with The Crow. Poor Brandon Lee, he did die in real life, but honestly, I hated that movie, so that's why I didn't put it on my list. Keep your responses coming. I'm going to be posting quite a few top 5's right now. Hope you enjoy:

Top 5 Saddest Movies:

Now we did this list awhile ago, and I'll be honest, I lost Mel's list, so this will just be mine. Some of these post's will just be my list. Mel and I have slacked off our countdowns so here it goes.

5: Legends of the Fall--Poor Brad Pitt, man he had a tough break during that movie. So sad.
4: Untamed Heart--Jess, Mandi Lunt, and I were watching this movie, crying our eyes out and Dad came running out of the room to see what happened. Yeah it was just a movie. Sorry.
3: Marley & Me--If you didn't cry at this movie, you have no heart. The saddest movie I've seen in awhile.
2: Armageddon--First, Bruce Willis dies, sad enough, but his good-bye to his daughter is heartbreaking.
1: Life is Beautiful--Such a great movie. I tear up just thinking about it. Such a tragic and wonderful movie.

That's my list, What are your saddest movies? Also, give me some idea's for topics.
