The scene in "The Abyss" where Bud is desperately trying to resuscitate his wife.

And later when she's on the radio as he's going down the Abyss.

Most of "Frankie and Johnny".

BettePorter

Last 10 minutes of Veronica Guerin.

Also .....The toy story furnace scene. It's a ****ing cartoon and still seeing them reaching to hold hands is making me well up just thinking of it !

New Home

The last few scenes from "Far from Heaven".

Morpork

Inside Out - Bing Bong... was so not prepared for that. Always gets me.

The end of Point Break when Utah, knowing this is the only chance he will ever have to tell Bodhi that he loves him and wants to spend the rest of life with him, bottles it, and instead allows his one true love to die. In ****ty Australia. It is horrific.

The most dire and miserable ending to any movie ever.

I read this in the voice of smeagol from LOTR

No, Watership Down is a great film but so sad for the whole film!

Can't remember what film it was but when I was a toddler there was a film my family were watching and it had them all crying and my mother told me that I kept asking them why they all had "drink" in their eyes

The only movie that makes me cry is The Good, The Bad And The Ugly. Not because anything in it makes me sad, but because it's a visual and aural masterpiece. It elicits a response of pure joy to the point where I think that no other movie could be better than this, and I'm thankful for Leone, Morricone, Eastwood, Wallach, Van Cleef and everyone else involved for creating it.

Can't believe nobody has mention the saddest scene in any movie:
From the Iron Giant:

Saving Private Ryan when old Ryan says to his wife "Tell me I've led a good life........Tell me I'm a good man".

As a husband and father that kills me completely........and my family say I never cry!!!

Neverending Story - when Atreyu lost Artax in the Swamp of Sadness.

Ending of Paranorman. In no way did I suspect a film about a kid who can see Ghosts and Ghouls could absolutely kill me.

+1 to the end of the Iron Giant. Always puts a lump in my throat if nothing else.

The Land Before Time always gets me. Not helped now in knowing that one of the child actors was murdered by her dad before the film came out.

Bing Bong's exit in Inside Out, I've only seen it twice but it made me awkwardly exhale loudly in a room of family as I tried to smother my emotions. Haha.

The That'll do bit of Babe aways tugs at my heartstrings as the pig looks up at the farmer.

There's a lot of animation/kids movies that gets me from these examples. I need to think of more live action.

Lorelli!

This version of Charlottes Web when Charlotte dies..

Pretty much the whole of "Rabbit Proof Fence".

Hmmm. I hadn't realised there were that many films that made me cry.

why did you even have to mention Old Yeller :mad: tears welling up here

the purple tin

The last scene of the Elephant Man. Makes me blubber like a baby.

Didn't make me cry but very sad at end of the film "the crow

The scene at end where camera stays on Brandon Lee that bit longer .

For people that don't know Brandon died making film .

The iconic scene where T Bird is tied up in the car full of explosives gets much praise for the outstanding acting David Patrick Kelly put into it. This scene was actually filmed after Brandon Lee's death and the moment Kelly's voice cracks slightly while reciting the poem (at 1.10 in the vid) is a brief moment of genuine upset at the loss of his colleague. The scene is filmed with Chad Stahelski (Brandon Lee's stunt double) and the two close ups of Eric's face are borrowed footage from other scenes in the movie, Eric also has no dialogue in this scene.

I was going to say that it was made by the same people who made Watership Down. It was like they thought Watership Down was too upbeat so decided to fix that with Plague Dogs. The opening scene involves them letting a dog drown in a lab and resuscitating him

With films like this and Watership Down and tv series like Animals of Farthing Wood growing up, you have to wonder how we're not all really messed up.

You’re not messed up because of films like that.

When di caprio dies at the end of Blood Diamond, the story and that scene is fantastic. The music, the views, the plane flying away. Very sad though and I jerked out a few tears.

Delighted to see Warrior in the thread. The movie is all sorts of excellence, that last few minutes of the fight, the

tap

, Nolte in the background watching on, The National ... just brilliant.

Bing Bong in Inside Out caught me completely off guard too, fair enough I was hungover in the cinema, but I've only seen the movie once and I still can't remember what happened in the few minutes after that.

The dog in I Am Legend was really well handled too, it's often overplayed, the whole "kill the dog" looking at you The Babadook. But man that was a tough watch.

I'm 38, saw The Iron Giant when it first came out and have watched it so many times since and that scene is still a killer.

Muppet Family Christmas. I must have watched this 1,000 times. It's tradition in my house, even my 80 year old dad loves it.


When they sing a medley of Christmas songs at the end, it's so heart-warming that I always shed a tear. 6:00 onwards especially gets me; and when the songs segues into Old Friends, New Friends that tips me over the edge.

Then bloody Jim Henson has a cameo at the end washing dishes with Sprocket the dog, and I'm crying again because we lost this genius guy so young! I don't like anything the Muppets did after Henson's death; it was never the same, so this for me was a farewell to Jim.

Ending of Interstellar where Cooper visits his daughter on her deathbed. The soundtrack alone would bring a tear to your eye.
