What movie wrung out the most bucketful of tears from moviegoers? A recent online poll revealed that Walt Disney’s Bambi is the best “tear-jerker” film ever, putting the most number of lumps in many throats, so to speak. The cartoon shaped many generation’s views because of the simple yet powerful story and graphics, and even Paul McCartney admits he owes his no-to-hunting attitude from that scene in the movie when Bambi’s mother was shot.
Ghost, the emotional story of a murdered husband (Patrick Swayze) and his love for his wife (Demi Moore) transcending death itself, came in closely at second. Here are the other movies that made it to the list of tales of sadness:
- The Lion King: Disney’s take on losing parents and relationships.
- Titanic: Class issues, love issues, life-or-death issues, Celine Dion, take your pick.
- Philadelphia: Tom Hanks touches your heart as an HIV-positive lawyer.
- Beaches: The ultimate tale of female bonding, this had 10% of respondents sobbing.
- E.T.: this sci-fi classic leads you down sadness lane for a boy and his alien friend.
- Watership Down: a simple animated film on survival and friendship, rabbit style.
