    OK, this isn't strictly a movie, but I did shed a tear when I completed Metal Gear Solid 4. The story is ridiculous and a lot of it doesn't make sense, but I do get a chill down my back when I remember playing the first game when I was quite young and following the series throughout my teens.

    +1 Marley & me - possibly the most difficult thing to watch without crying.

    Any film where a dog dies or gets hurt- EVIL

    +1 Up- the start and adventure book :(

    -To the people who posted the you-tube links of Bambi and the lion king thanks for making teary eye's A-holes :D

    If you've ever watched the Wire, what happens to one of the characters at the end is the saddest thing I've ever seen.


    Spoiler tags and reveal, I'm curious :)

    In the Name of the Father -
    when Giuseppi dies and the ending

    The Wind that Shakes the Barley -
    Cillian Murphy's execution
    If you're a fan of American football, then:

    Brian's Song
    Rudy

    As for TV, just the ending of Spaced when you start to hear The Staunton Lick.

    WALL-E: How has this not been mentioned more? The most beautiful love stories are always the simplest and you won't get finer than Wall-E's simple gestures of love. Ach, and the end...

    Personally I found the end spoiled somewhat by
    the fact that Wall-e magically recovered his memory. The film should go either one way or the other; stick to its guns for an elegiac conclusion or a plain happy one! Just my opinion

    Gladiator ending - particularly if you think that Maximus' vision of the
    the afterlife
    was just his imagination playing tricks on him.

    300's last line of Leonidas
    My queen! My wife: my love
    is also pretty decent.

    How about Remember the Titans?

    Leon? The ending is very sad.


  • Registered Users Posts: 489 ✭✭petebricquette


    Not a film really (well, mini-series) but good god the end of Band of Brothers always always gets me. Just when all the old soldiers are talking about their fallen comrades and their experiences during WWII. Devastating.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 71 ✭✭FunkDrummer


    The Third Transformers film (when I heard Megan Fox isn't in it)

    To be honest, I didn't even see a robot in the first two films, all I remember is Megan Fox on a motorbike, then a large portion of missing memory, followed by Megan Fox fixing a car. surely worthy of an Oscar?!?!

    the end of babe when he wins gets me every time i see it for some reason i cannot explain.

    Major +1 for this.

    I think it's the pause,before the crowd go mad,that seals it.

    hullo. My first foray into this thread, i have a kleenex i'm good to go. May i say what a brilliant excellent shout , Kramer vs Kramer. What gets me is, u no the way dustin hoffman makes an @rse of making breakfast the first time, wrecks EVERYTHING, and while ur watching their last moment together it just slips in there that the breakfast happens to be absolutely perfect. Traumatisingly brilliant scene.

    gah, can't believe i didn't think of it before..... BAMBI !! Seriously. To put that scene in a kids film, to teach them about loss, etc, is harrowing enough, ye all no it, the part where his ma is shot and his da the king of the forest appears to this frightened little chap calling for his mom and says "ur mommy can't be with you ANYMORE"

    Field of Dreams was on yesterday.

    If you build it, He will come.

    When the
    Ghost of Costner's father shows up on the field, "Hey dad.....wanna catch a few?
    I always well up at that part.
