Skins24 Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 Think I'll go with Forrest Gump too. There's a similar scene in Patch Adams....I have NEVER heard so many sniffs and quiet sobs in a theater before.... Are we including TV scenes in this? This would have to make the list: Good acting...by Will Smith!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OrangeSkin Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 Not neccessarily "sad" but poignant and definitely tearjerkers... Schindler's List - Color Life Is Beautiful - "Mama!"

JMURedskins Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 Are we including TV scenes in this? This would have to make the list: Good acting...by Will Smith!? I don't have access to youtube. Is this the scene where his father leaves without him? That scene was one that I was thinking about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

asnpcwiz Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 The climax to Saving Private Ryan where most of the squad gets killed. Especially Sgt Horvak and Capt Miller. I second the Saving Private Ryan...but different scene. The end of the movie when Private Ryan turns to his wife and says "Tell me I've been a good man, tell me I lived a good life"....tear jerker....

Leonard Washington Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 as a kid i saw some movie about an alien arriving in a small town in the middle of america. the alien came in peace and made friends with a kid. the townsfolk thought the alien wanted to take over and tried to kill it. the town ended up using the kid as bait to draw the alien out, as it came to them, they shot him. the alien couldn't comprehend what was happening but it had a smile on his face and was eager to see his friend. the alien dropped dead a few feet from the boy.

Om Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 Don't know about "the" saddest, but one that's not been metioned yet: Dead Poet's Society ... when Todd Anderson (Ethan Hawke) is told of his friend/roommate Neil Perry's (Robert Leonard) death, he breaks down, tears away from his friends attempts at comfort and runs off into the snow, calling Neil's name. "Let him go ..." Ouch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destino Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 I second the Saving Private Ryan...but different scene. The end of the movie when Private Ryan turns to his wife and says "Tell me I've been a good man, tell me I lived a good life"....tear jerker.... Yeah that's a hell of a scene. But the one that immediately comes to mind is from Schindler's List (which is a horribly sad movie to begin with): Oskar Schindler: I could have got more out. I could have got more. I don't know. If I'd just... I could have got more. Itzhak Stern: Oskar, there are eleven hundred people who are alive because of you. Look at them. Oskar Schindler: If I'd made more money... I threw away so much money. You have no idea. If I'd just... Itzhak Stern: There will be generations because of what you did. Oskar Schindler: I didn't do enough! Itzhak Stern: You did so much. [schindler looks at his car] Oskar Schindler: This car. Goeth would have bought this car. Why did I keep the car? Ten people right there. Ten people. Ten more people. [removing Nazi pin from lapel] Oskar Schindler: This pin. Two people. This is gold. Two more people. He would have given me two for it, at least one. One more person. A person, Stern. For this. [sobbing] Oskar Schindler: I could have gotten one more person... and I didn't! And I... I didn't! and then of course where they are putting the stones on his grave.

akorn22 Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 The scene in the movie Crash when the persian store owner shoots the little girl.

Message in a Bottle: Costner is killed in the storm helping others.... and Newman narrates what happened to Robin Wright Penn. JFK... Costner's 13 minute closing argument...... done all in one take.

Henry Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 Actually, the scene in Forrest Gump that gets me, now that I'm a parent, is when his mom is dying and she says "I didn't know it, but I was destined to be your mama. I did the best I could." I think of that line all the time nowadays when I look at my kids. It's so true. Well ... except that I'm a dad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
