The saddest moment in the history of movies

.....When they shot Bambi's mother.....

animal farm,
when big horsy gets dragged off to the glue factory, and if not that, watership down, when the burrows get filled in.

Hmmmfffp now i'm going to feel depressed for the rest of the day.

I have to admit I got teary at the cinemas when I saw "A Walk To Remember" for the first time, when we find out the has cancer

'Dancer in the Dark' beats 'The Green Mile' hands down for prison-based weepies.

Bjork is Slema, a Czech immigrant in 1960s America toiling away in a factory to save for an operation to save her son from going blind like she is. To escape from the harsh realities of life she frequently sees the world like a musical.
(for spoiler-filled description highlight below)
When her desperate landlord steals her savings she is forced to batter him to death to get it back. After depositing the money, she is arrested and refuses to defend herself in court. Despite her decision she falls to pieces during her execution (screaming in despair in a very Bjork way). Only when her friend tells her that her son's had the operation that she imagines she's in a musical, sings, her voice soaring. Interrupted by the sound of her neck snapping as she is hanged

No matter how much I cried, there ARE times I believe its a happy ending...

Happy ending?!

It was a good few years ago when I saw thhat movie so I don't remember it that well, but if I remember correctly, it's not a happy ending!

Man...there are so many films with teary endings...

Most of them are already named here so I'll put something different...lets see...

I guess at the end of House of Flying Daggers when the two lovers are tearing each other to shreds...and she pulls the knife out to save him...(trying not to say too much in case people haven't seen the film...) but yes I cried for a long time after that.

Call me a softy

I'm a big hard man (!!!! ) and I cried at the Fellowship of the Ring when Boromir dies... I hate watching/reading about hero's deaths.

But then, I was young when it came out. I need to watch it again to see if I still do...

Animals of farthing wood when the hedgehogs die on the motorway

The death of Mufasa.

Armageddon... when Bruce willis swaps places with Ben affleck and gives a big "proud to be my son-in-law" speech.. gets me every time...

Oh that and the little princess...

When I was a child, there were some animated movies that would come on every once in a while that had a profound impact on me. Some I remember better than others. The ones that I largely remember were:

1. Little Mermaid (I think it was a French production, absolutely not Disney)
When the little mermaid decides not to kill the Prince out of love, letting herself die instead..

2. The Happy Prince
When the swallow dies, and they melt down the statue and his heart cannot be melted, and they just chuck the dead bird and the heart in the trash

Very sad. I would love when these animated movies would show up... There was also The Snow Queen and Great Expectations. I don't know of too many folks who've seen or remember these old flicks.

Shamefully i cried at the end of Moulin Rouge, feel free to shun me! Also cry in Green Mile when Del dies and when John Coffey dies, soooo sad!

Armageddon also makes me weep a little

Jeff: you are so right with the death of Mufasa, and Beth, don't worry, I got teary too with Moulin Rouge... and I knew the ending! *grumbles about stupid people in class*

The end of Requiem for a Dream.

In Life is Beautiful, when the boys father is shot

House of Sand and Fog...the last 1/2 hour or so. I won't say any more because you should all watch it! It's such a good movie (although definately not a 'feel good' movie).
...Armageddon still makes me weepy (and I've seen it about 4 times).

Forrest Gump
when forrest finally ends up with Jenny than she die's cause of aids

October Sky -

When Homer has to drop out of school to work in the coal mines to support his family, He gets into the cage elevator to go down, looks up to the stars and sees sputnik streaking across the sky, and his dreams being lost forever.

And also at the end when they launch their last rocket, and Homers father actually comes and is given the honor to press the launch button. Then Homer's high school teacher who is dying in a hospital looks out the window to see the rocket shooting into the clouds.

Makes me cry every time.



Then of course theres the end to "Finding Neverland" quite the tear jerker as well

I actualy cried when Trinity died in Matrix Revolutions. I thought it was really sad, Neo not being able to see his dying love.
