sadest scene in a film ever?

KdjaCL

From Bullet in the Head when the main guy meets his mate who got said bullet lodged in his head and has to put him out of his misery.

Very sad

Any of the scenes from Starship Troopers (I'm interpreting sad as pathetic here).

WHAT??????
I thought starship troopers was brilliant a good mix of sci-fi and a pisstake of americianism/patriotism

Nothing pathetic about that film at all.

Sposs

The Lion King,when the young lads oul lad dies....very moving

flyz

Pay It Forward,
Films just arent supposed to end like that

bringitdown

Dancer in the Dark : Selma Jezkova is hanged

Now this film you either love or hate there is rarely an in-betweenie anywho, the final few scenes had me in bits on the floor drowning in pools of my friends and my own tears.

The Elephant man, the end, when John merrick kills himself by lying down.

TeenStar

I remember watching Watership Down when i was a kid and when that rabbit snuffs it at the end by holding his breath boohoohoo :ninja:

antwalsh

All about my mother by Pedro Almodóvar...can't remember any particular scene though that was especially sad. I just felt sad through most of it.

Saving Private Ryan. Some people dont like it but it is sad because its reality. Didnt make me cry but the end gave me a good lump in my throat. Anybody who has visited the cememtarys in normandy will know what i mean

The_Scary_Man

I can't believe that nobody's mentioned The Champ with Ricky Schroeder (sp?).

I bawled me ickle eyes out , I can't remember the scene exactly but I think the champ was leaving and said he couldn't take the kid with him.

Ohhhhh yes, that was so sad. I cried at that too.

I'd have to go with the scene at the end of The Straight Story(I wont ruin it BUT you have no idea how it will end right up to the final scene)

The scene when the dad breaks the picket line in Billy Elliot and is confronted by his son is really sad too.

ET always gets me aswell, I went to see the rerelease by myself and got some very strange looks from all these kids around me as I treid to hide my tears.

Catsmokinpot

the green mile made me shed a tear at the end

galactus

That bit with Rachel playing the piano in Blade Runner

Yep, that gets my vote to. It's a shocking and sad ending to a top film.

Also anything to do with Ewoks or Jar-Jar Binks.

Tellox

Mufasa's death in the lion king was heartbreaking.. especially when your 5 or 6 or so

The Sweeper

The end of Million Dollar Hotel, Tom-Tom's speech about life.

Not really a film, but the last episode of the WW1 black adder, when they finally go over the wall. Brings a tear to my eye every time

galactus

Betty Blue when she pokes her eye out. Gotta hurt.

Sangre

I found the end of Léon quite sad.

I also agree with the Blackadder one.

GreenHell

Kurt Russell at the end of Vanillia Sky I felt sorry for poor ole Kurt.

I dunno if you'd call it sad, well I suppose it is Harvey, when Jimmy Stewart is telling the shrink and nurse about Harvey outside the back of the pub.

Med Junkie

The one that always always ALWAYS gets me in floods is One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest.....i mean come on, Jack is the ****ing man and the ending.......i've said too much.........:(

Bicky

"Stand by me" The end is real sad.
"Fandango" with Kevin costner. Seen it once when i was young and i remember getting a lump in my throat when the gang split up at the end. Not sure why though.

Stand By Me - Quite a few bits.
Shawshank - Scene at the end on the beach.
Green Mile - When he 'rides the lightning'. - couldn't speak for about 30mins after the first time I watched it.

Spot the common thread there? Stephen King really knows how to pull those strings!

Platoon - Elias running for the chopper (the bit from the front cover, barbers adagio for strings adding poignency to the whole thing) I know it's already been mentioned, but it was damn good.

The one that got me really badly, was the bit at the end of Seven where you find out what's in the box. I'd just fallen well and truly in love for the first time when I saw it, and all I could think about was what would that be like to find out something like that. very upsetting. I still can't watch that bit of the movie to this day.

misswex

Armageddon - always cry when I watch that
Gone With The Wind and Scarlett!! - you just have to cry at this movie!!
Titanic - because of the reality of the whole thing and at the end of the movie when you see all the dead people in the water, its just shocking!!! Actually I even cry when I hear the music to the film!!

I've even cried at the animated movie 'Tarzan' - I know I'm sad
