SkinsNut73 Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 ...lots of good ones already mentioned...the one scene that immediately came to mind for me was in Titanic when the mom in the "lower class" section takes her kids back to their room and puts them to bed for the night when she realizes they are not going to make it off the ship....tears just started streaming down first time I saw that scene.

bschurm Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 The scene in the movie Crash when the persian store owner shoots the little girl. Of course is turned out that it was a blank and she didn;t actually die, but before I knew that, it was a very sad scene I think this may be one of the most moving scenes I have ever seen in a movie. The inhumane conditions that Kunta Kinte (sp?) endured in Roots. That is about as sad as it gets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Todd Packer 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. im thinking either Mac and Me or batteries not included Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLongshot Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 One that I haven't seen mentioned yet is the end of Big Fish. Can't say I agree with that. That's more a celebration of life rather than something to be sad about. One recent movie that really tore me apart was the end of Pan's Labyrinth. I was in tears for a couple of minutes. For me, that's a real accomplishment. Not a movie, but there is a scene in Fullmetal Alchemist where a major character gets killed off, and at the funeral, the reaction of the daughter of this character just rips your heart out.

BurntToast Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 The Iron Giant ending. ME: *Sniff Sniff* Wife: are you crying at a cartoon movie? ME: No, I'm cutting on onions on the sofa *Sniff Sniff* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No_Pressure Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 Brian's Song. Enough said. Every scene in All Quiet on the Western Front was sad. The ending to Braveheart where they are killing him and he yells out for freedom. The scene in Platoon where Elias is throwing his hands up in the air as the choppers leave him for dead. The scene in Million Dollar Baby where Clint has to pull the plug. I'm sure I will think of more... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riggo-toni Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 The opening scene in Ghost...when I realize Demi Moore has cut off all her hair. At least Patrick Swayze got killed shortly afterwards to cheer me up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riggo-toni Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 Not neccessarily "sad" but poignant and definitely tearjerkers...Schindler's List - Color This was the only time I ever came close to crying in a movie, especially once I realized it was the ACTUAL SURVIVORS walking up to the grave alongside the actors who portrayed them.

DieselPwr44 Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 Lonesome Dove: Captain Augustus McCray(Robert Duvall), laying in bed,dying from blood poisoning and slowly fading away,looks up at longtime friend Capt. Woodrow Call(Tommy Lee Jones) and says: "It's been one hell of a party,hasn't it Woodrow?" and then dies.... Million Dollar Baby was already mentioned. And it may be corny to some, but I'll mention Mick dying in Rocky III. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jofizz Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 Several parts in "My Dog Skip" specifically when Skip gets old and can't jump up on the bed anymore. It was so sad to see him want to get up on his best friends bed but can't, and has to be lifted. Here is the last scene with that incuded (tear jerker warning): And it really hurts to see Skip pass on, I guess because I have a Jack Russel that looks identical to him. I only watched that movie once, and will never watch it again, not because it isn't good because it's a masterpiece, but it's just too sad at the end.

Goaldeje Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 Ahem. "Glory" hasn't been mentioned yet. Allow me to nominate a few scenes: When Denzel gets whipped, and stares down M. Broderick. "Give 'em Hell, 54!" Denzel picking up the flag at the last battle. OK. Gonna need a minute now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

28rdsknsfn28 Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 I have to agree that Brian's Song is the worst. The Champ always got me ""Don't die Champ! Don't die Champ!" (Check out this site I found when I checked to make sure I had the correct name http://movies.uk.msn.com/features/BoysDontCry2006_article.aspx ) My TV movie would be "Band of brothers" “Grandpa, were you a hero in the war?” “No,” he replies tearfully, “but I served in a company of heroes” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USS Redskins Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 If you include TV - then hands down when Radar walks into the operating room and informs everyone that Colonel Henry Blakes plane was shot down on his way home. MASH. I saw that when I was like 8 and cried for 2 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
