    Was just thinking there ive gotten threw loads of different tv series and films so many with different kinds of endings ups and downs but what does everyone think was the sad ones that stood out the most for them??

    It came into my head after seeing the last episode of Father Ted again last night on telly.

    Always get shivers watching the ending knowing how things turned out in real life in the end...... :(

    Lost !! Not a sad ending, more a poor effort to tie up all the loose ends !

    Sopranos.

    Spartacus, already mentioned.

    The last 10 mins or so of Schindlers List. Jesus I cry buckets every time.

    For those who haven't seen it, it's the actors from the film, and the actual survivors they portrayed (all very elderly now) both going to Oskar Schindler's grave together and placing a stone on top of it, which I believe is a Jewish custom. It's a very touching scene.

    And don't even get me STARTED on Marley and Me!!!

    Battlestar Galactica. It actually had a great ending but I loved the series so much that I was just sad to see it end.

    If you got sick of watching it, you dont deserve to know.

    Now that I think of it, The cartoon film the Iron Giant alsways gets me worked up at the ending.

    I just got stuck into Game of Thrones. I found Crixus constant stone face a pain to watch, Plus it has never been the same since Andy Whitfeild Died, your name Liam whathisname sounds like he has a cold all the time.

    Million Dollar Baby ending was very upsetting if not a little bit comforting??

    I thought Lost was a great ending too. A sort of beautifully sad feeling.

    I loved the ending to Lost too. Thought it was a perfect way to end it though loads of my mates hated the way it finished

    I cry a river every time I watch the ending of the Shawshank Redemption.
    It's such a fantastic and harrowing film, you are rooting for them the whole way through and then Red makes it through the border to see his oul pal Andy. Pure class !

    And don't get me started on the film 'Life is Beautiful'.
