    Just remembered Maggie in Million Dollar Baby. I can't watch that film.

    Brandon Teena in Boys Don't Cry.

    Jack Twist in Brokeback Mountain.
    Poor Brandon Teena wasn't a fictional character.

    Captain Blackadder, Lieutenant George, Private Baldrick and Captain Darling going over the top to No Man's Land. Man, that poppy field and lonely piano...

    Wallace in The Wire was the most shocking for me.

    I thought of that after I posted, I think that's why I found it so upsetting.

    Pippa's baby in Home and Away. I was only young at the time and my own parents went through the same thing so it hit close to home.

    The Boy in Striped Pyjamas. Even though you don't see it, you know what's next for him.

    Oh well, give me an easy life and a peaceful death.

    Every time and I mean every single time I watch this from Up.

    I think of my own life and wife and how happy we are and what upsets me most is that one of us will have to go through the same.

    Tears stream down my face!!

    Ethel in Eastenders (back when it was decent and I was a youngster, good times!) ruined me for a week or so. If your in need of a good sob check it out on YouTube.

    That film broke me.
    I've already turned 40 so that just finished me off.

    Dumbledore, Dobby and then the whole pile of them that died in the Battle of Hogwarts - feckin carnage that was!

    Also Fry's dog in Futurama. I still can't watch that episode without ending up a complete hysterical mess.

    Up tears me apart every single time. And my wife. Crying like babies when we watch that.

    And Gandalf. No wait, he's back. All good.
    Also Ragnar in Vikings.

    I was pretty disappointed when they killed off
    Han Solo
    in The Force Awakens. It has taken the good out of the other films in the trilogy that he was in.
