Saddest Movie Moment

[Guest Wrestling_Man]

When Mustafa died in The Lion King, that happened when I was 9, that was the first movie I ever cried.

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

These days I well up like a big girl at a lot of films. But there have only been three I've cried at, for different reasons...

Amelie: When Amelie opens her door at the end and he's THERE! And they kiss and there's clips of them riding the bike together. THat's not a sad moment but it unleashes the hopeless romantic in me...

Schindlers List: When the women are hustled into the chamber and the lights go out and they start sobbing. Proper scary. Also anything with the girl in the red coat in has me going. The 'cleansing' of the ghetto is disturbing. And this stuff actually happened.

Thin Red Line: Caviezel's character has fought for his wife all the way through the war. She's been the one thing that keeps him going (we see flashbacks of them etc). Then he gets a letter. She's met some GI and she's leaving him.

Caviezel takes a mission to draw the enemy away. They catch up to him, surround him and yell at him to lower his weapon. He's got nothing left to live for. He raises his rifle....

So yeah, the three films I've cried in.

American History X has been on the verge, as has Eternal Sunshine (for two parts - first when he knows that they're deleting his LAST memory of her, and again when things look rosey and they play the tapes)...

[Whoo]

John Q is the only movie to ever get me close to crying. It was really sad.

[Summers]

A lot of About Schmidt.

Most recently, in Cheaper By The Dozen, where the one kid runs away, that was sad.

Plenty more, I'll post more when I remember them.

[ROC]

For a recent one, the final 30 minutes of Million Dollar Baby.

It's quite tragic.

[Enter Blue Guy]

When Micky dies in the lockerroom after Rocky loses to Clubber Lang.

The ending of American History X.

The end of A Walk To Remember. Yep. I went there. Looking back on it, the movie was pretty bad, but the story works and the last bit of it is tear jerking.

And in Big Daddy when Julian gets taken away from Sonny. That's sad.

[RavenBlack]

- The end of Big Fish, from the scene in the hospital when Edward Bloom wakes up in the bed right up until the very end of the film. Had me bawling me eyes out each time I've seen it.

[Turbo Yannis]

Shaun of the Dead when he has to kill him mum. That's pretty hard to watch the first time.

[Pepsi]

Bjork's final song in "Dancer in the Dark".

Now that I think of it, all of "Dancer in the Dark" was a sad moment.

[Guest LucaIII]

Mad Max when Max's wife and kid are killed

Leaving Las Vegas: basically the whole thing but the ending more than anything

[Skummy]

Edward Scissorhands, when the girl says "Hold me" and Edward replies "...I can't."

Gets me every time. EVERY time.

[Enter Blue Guy]

Dead Poets Society: When Neil commits suicide and at the very end (everyone standing on their desks). I've seen this movie twice, and both times, I lost it at those points.

Well the end of american history x, obi wan's speech at the end of revenge of the sith, and the end of chasing amy all are pretty sad though I've never cryed because of a movie.

[Mick]

Trinity dying in The Matrix Revolutions. Mainly because I had watched so much of The Matrix and The Matrix Reloaded during the summer, I kinda felt like I knew her.

The ending of The Lord of the Rings, when Frodo, Bilbo, and Gandalf go off to the Grey Havens, the whole parting part with Same, Merry, and Pippin was tearful.

Vader's death in ROTJ, after watching TPM and AOTC, because you see Anakin for who he was, and then when he dies you think about that little kid that helped Padme....

The Terminator's death in T2. Seriously. I was like 5 when I first saw this movie, and I balled my eyes out in the theater when he goes down into the molten steel.

And although not "Sad" sad as in tearjerker, but in Pirates of the Carribean, after the curse is lifted, watching all the pirates throw down their swords since they're now mortal, and finally got what they wanted was sad.

[Colly]

I agree with the 'new Star Wars has changed the end of ROTJ crew'. Seeing why he turns in ROTS makes you really feel for him.

My personal choice: When they kill off basically every old-school Transformer in the first 10 minutes of Transformers the Movie. I mean, Optimus Prime eventually returns, but you killed Prowl you bastards!!!!

[Agent Risktaker]

Two parts from FNL, actually.

The ending where he's stopped short and when Boobie gets into his uncle's car after cleaning out his locker.

Can't believe we got this far in without someone mentioning the end of Ghost.

That ending is well sad.
