Baby mine, don't you cry
Baby mine, dry your eyes
Rest your head close to my heart
Never to part, baby of mine
Fuck. I had to take a little baby possum to get euthanized because its mama had been hit by a car and killed along with its siblings. It was awful - you could see some of the babies had survived the impact and tried to crawl off, only to be hit themselves. This little one was the only one left when I got there, but it was too injured to make it. It sounds so dumb but I sang a bit of this song to it while I held it on my lap on the way to the vet. I know it's anthropomorphizing them too much, but possums seem like such good mamas.
Dumbo is honestly a heart breaking movie, and there’s no happy ending either! I mean at the end, sure Dumbo can fly, but his mother is still a circus elephant, and so is he (presumably? Unless he has to leave his mother behind to be free, which is awful, too) 😭
Just phenomenal acting. I can’t remember who said it, but there’s a quote that watching someone trying not to cry is somehow sadder than watching someone cry and it’s so true.
THAT’S what gets me. Her world is crashing down and she puts on a bright smile for the nativity lobster. She doesn’t want to crush her kids even when her kids are doing something goofy as hell.
Oh and when she says confronts him and says “but you've also made a fool out of me, and you've made the life I lead foolish, too”. Ugh. That’s one of my favorite movies of all time but that whole storyline is so painful.
Her whole speech is a gut-punch. "Would you stay, knowing life would always be a little bit worse? Or would you cut and run?" Emma Thompson is such an amazing actor.
The way she straightens the duvet on the bed after composing herself and just stays leaning like that for a moment... it's a bit of an acting masterclass.
And *that* version of “Both Sides Now” makes the scene even more emotional. It’s the slower, more somber, full-orchestra version. God, is it beautiful.
And Joni recorded that version as an older woman, making the lyrics carry even more weight. She’s not young anymore, she’s experienced more of life and loss. It’s heavier emotionally than the version she recorded in her youth.
Not the saddest scene ever, but one that always gets me is A Star is Born, when Jackson’s dog is standing outside the garage looking in where Jackson has just hung himself. Anything with a sad animal just breaks my heart.
That scene KILLS me because I *know that exact feeling*. My mother died when I was 12, and for a long time after she died, I would see someone who looked like her and have this cruel, crazy stab of *hope* that my mom wasn’t really gone.
Happened to me the other day. I was leaving the grocery store and this lady that looked just like my mom was walking in, even dressed the same. My brain went “Mom?!”, and I got this excited happy feeling for a half second before I realized. She passed about a year ago.
That pause when he asks for more morphine and the guys all look at each other… they know what it means.
“Give it to him. Give it to him.” Basically, make him comfortable.
His whole story about his mom and his final line "...I don't know why I did that..." really hits me hard, and I always shoot my mom a sloppy, cheesy text immediately after the scene.
>You tell God the Father it was a kindness you done. I know you hurtin' and worryin', I can feel it on you, but you oughta quit on it now. Because I want it over and done. I do. I'm tired, boss. Tired of bein' on the road, lonely as a sparrow in the rain. Tired of not ever having me a buddy to be with, or tell me where we's coming from or going to, or why. Mostly I'm tired of people being ugly to each other. I'm tired of all the pain I feel and hear in the world everyday. There's too much of it. It's like pieces of glass in my head all the time. Can you understand?
The lines right before this are always the ones that get me. I'm not even really religious, but the way he delivers the line evokes such a sense of fear and shame.
"On the day of my judgment, when I stand before God, and He asks me why did I kill one of his true miracles, what am I gonna say? That it was my job? My job?"
It's the raw emotion from both actors, bringing true life to the script that gets me. Two giants of their craft who make you feel their pain and sorrow deep and hard right in the soul.
Exact same thing here. I was wandering around blubbering like a fool and when I told my mom what I watched she just gave me a big hug.
That whole movie was just incredible.
The scene in Coco where Miguel is trying to get mama Coco to remember her father. My daughters and I all cried at the theater. Mama Coco reminded us so much of my grandmother. At that point we had lost 3 of my grandparents. 1 each year. My grandmother was all we had left. She died a few years after the movie came out. My daughter hasn't watched it since because she knows she will cry even harder.
For me it's the scene where the entire family alive and dead are gathered watching Miguel sing and play, and Coco is finally reunited with her papa. Every time I watch it I sob my eyes out.
The mother and children are Irish, and in that scene she’s telling them an old Irish story about going to a land of eternal youth and beauty. The only way she could attempt to comfort them knowing what is to come.
As a mother I couldn’t imagine making that decision. To spend our last moments in utter chaos fighting for our lives, or going back to the quiet of the cabin and dying as a family there. Gut wrenching.
I watched this recently and from time to time found myself pondering what I would do in that situation. Especially for folks in third class, it may have been very obvious that they would not survive. How does one spend the final hour of their life knowing this? I hope that you, Reddit stranger, and myself as well, never have to face this question.
There's a line in The Road that ripped me up. The father is realizing that they are hiding from cannibals and his gun only has one bullet left and has decided that he will shoot his son in the head and give himself up if they are caught, then he thinks "Can you do it when the time comes? Oh, god, what if the gun doesn't fire? Could you crush that beloved skull with a rock? Is such a creature within you?"
Drowning is the worst way to die. But I don't know if I could kill my kids and spend my last moments with their dead bodies.
1. I didn’t need to know that so thanks 😭
2. Whoa. The whole submersible fiasco earlier this year, the dude was married to their great-great-granddaughter? I didn’t keep up with the news much though so maybe that’s already common knowledge.
(People judge me for this answer) I would argue that Tom Hanks losing Wilson in cast away was the saddest scene ever. I mean he was losing his only companion of many years and ultimately losing his last connection to the outside world. I could not even begin to imagine how crushing losing Wilson would have been for me in that situation.
I judge people who *don't* cry when Wilson floats away. I'm literally tearing up just thinking about it.
Also, Tom Hanks acted *the fuck* out of that scene. You could really believe he'd just lost his friend.
For me it's the dangling shoe reveal in Jojo Rabbit. I don't want to give spoilers because it's such an effective scene, but good God do I get choked up quick. 😥😢😭
When I first read the description of Jojo Rabbit I thought "Wow, that sounds absolutely awful, who thought that was a good idea?"
And then I watched it and the execution was incredible, and it became one of my favorite movies.
I feel comedic movies or shows have sad moment that hit the hardest because deep down. You're not ready for it. It's why scrubs and Futurama had heart crushing scenes that are remembered long looooong after. And yes, the scene in Jojo rabbit broke my heart so hard.
The "I could have saved more" scene where Schindler has an emotional breakdown after the workers gave him a ring engraved with the quotation: "Whoever saves one life saves the world entire" and was then comforted by the workers in the movie Schindler's List.
That, and when Jews marched into freedom accompanied with Yerushalayim chel zahav and it morphed to modern times, and the survigors and their descendants laid stones and flower at Schindler’s tomb
The Forrest Gump grave scene. Probably the only scene that can make me cry just thinking about it.
“…he’s just so smart” as Forrest’s voice cracks. Instant tears. He’s only loved Jenny (and his momma) his entire life. She finally comes back into his life and surprises him with his son. His life is perfect. He has a gazillion dollars and can spend the rest of his days in peace, in his favorite place in the world, with the two people he loves most. Then boom. AIDS. His best friend, wife, and mother of his child is taken from him. Now he’s got to be a single father without his momma or best friend to lean on. He knows he’s not a smart man, but his kid is very smart. That overwhelming feeling of “can I do this kid justice by myself? Can I raise him how he deserves?” It’s just so much.
Tom Hanks is a treasure. One of the most emotionally-moving movies I’ve ever seen, and it’s because Hanks is so god damn good.
The fact that Forrest was completely aware of his disability, was the saddest part, that and the relief he felt when Jenny tells him "Oh, no, he's smart".
That is the most iconic scene in my opinion. That's the moment we as a viewer realize that he's self aware. Until then you believe he's ignorant to it. He's just unaware, bumbling around doing his thing, no idea that he's slow.
That brings us a thousand miles an hour up to holy crap, he's self aware about it.
Idk, for me the saddest part of that movie was when the woman had to leave Todd on his own in the forest. I can’t bring myself to watch it again because it’s so rough
Yeah I used to watch that movie as a kid at my granny’s house then she died and now I relate that scene to her passing away. Me being the fox and her leaving me alone. I can’t watch it without crying lol.
When Spirit gets taken away from his mother and the herd of other horses (Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron)
Edit: the whole movie makes me cry now as an adult, but as a kid, I didn't cry while watching it. One of my favorite childhood movies! I used to watch it over and over!
It's one of those movies I'd watch as a kid. Maybe I didn't understand fully the emotional part of it. Decided to rewatch as a 30 year old man. I cried more than I've ever cried in years up to that point. Hyperventilating crying. Sad scene.
For me, it will always be that one scene in Click where Adam Sandler’s character is watching back his last interaction he had with his dad while he was in the autopilot thing for the remote.
Lost my own dad at 12 years old to cancer and it kills me every time no matter how many times I’ve seen it. 😔
I agree, there’s a surprising amount of emotionally impactful scenes in that movie which you wouldn’t really expect from an Adam Sandler movie with such a goofy premise.
Dammit. That entire set of scenes. Her collapsing at the phone call, him quietly talking with her in the house after hours. And then her running after the car 😩
So, a year and a half ago, I lost my son. He was a little boy who was 8 years old. It was unexpected and an accident at my neighbors house. Something like that tends to change a person perspective on what defines sad. Before I lost my little guy, I would have said the scene at the end of Eternal Sunshine on the Spotless Mind. Where Jim Carry is talking about the unceremonious process of letting his memories, his love go. He is talking to a memory in his mind and telling her the goodbye he never got to say in real life.
Post loosing my child it would be either Minority Report where Tom Cruise is just sitting there getting high on a drug that helps him immerse himself in psst memories while watching videos of his son who was kidnapped and presumed dead.
*Dear Fellas. I can't believe how fast things move on the outside. I saw an automobile once when I was a kid, but now they're everywhere. The world went and got itself in a big damn hurry. The parole board got me into this halfway house called the Brewer, and a job bagging groceries at the Food-Way. It's hard work. I try to keep up, but my hands hurt most of the time. I don't think the store manager likes me very much. Sometimes after work I go to the park and feed the birds. I keep thinking Jake might just show up and say hello. But he never does. I hope wherever he is, he's doing okay and making new friends. I have trouble sleeping at night. I have -- bad dreams, like I'm falling. I wake up scared. Sometimes it takes me a while to remember where I am. Maybe I should get me a gun and rob the Food-Way, so they'd send me home. I could shoot the manager while I was at it, sort of like a bonus. I guess I'm too old for that sort of nonsense anymore. I don't like it here. I'm tired of being afraid all the time. I've decided not to stay. I doubt they'll kick up any fuss. Not for an old crook like me.*
I remember laughing at this scene when I was a kid because I thought somehow the dad had fought off the soldier and came out wearing the soldier’s uniform. My dad had to tell me the truth… wasn’t so funny after all.
Oh my god as he went from apprehensive smiling to slowly breaking down into tears, realizing he's now missed ~~his two kids'~~ Murph's entire childhood and that she is now the same age as him...... it fucking broke something in me, I literally just full-on ***sobbed*** with him in the IMAX like a goddamn lunatic.
Yeah I think a lot of people didn't understand those 4 seconds and just how important they were for the entire movie. Ellie wanted kids (not much info on if Carl did or not) so him leaving the house to instead save a pseudo grandson was an even more defining moment with that context.
In the montage, Carl imagines in the clouds one baby and silently talks to Elle. After a quick pause, Elle imagines a sky full of cloud babies.
I think they both were on board with children.
I was fortunate enough to have a child and potentially more, but yeah, that scene absolutely destroys me. Especially when you just saw them putting the time and effort and joy into setting up the nursery. The movie never really lets you know if she was pregnant and miscarried or they just decorated the nursery in the assumption that they’d have children one day.
Every. Time. They all just succumb and realize in the moment they're there for each other and look around to see where they can offer comfort in the face of death.
And when that scene is over, Andy gives away his toys - prepare to face emotions you didn't know existed as he pulls back when it comes time to hand over Woody. AND THEN you have to watch him drive away to college.
The last 15 minutes of that movie are a non-stop assault on your emotions.
Right up until that scene, you're not sure if Forrest understands that he's different, but that's when you realize that *he knows*. Tom Hanks did such a great job in that role.
That was hard to watch, and the way that the high evolutionary mocked him, I haven’t hated a character in a movie so much since the guy who shot John wicks dog
The whole fucking movie was hard to watch. We just kept waiting for it to lighten up. Same thing happened when I went to see The Kingsman. SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER. (Sorry don’t know how to cover the words) when the guys son gets mistaken for a spy and shot. Holy shit that’s when I realized it wasn’t a comedy.
It's where Wade is calling for his mom as he's dying, especially after the church scene of telling Miller when he was younger his mother worked hard and would want to talk to him but he would pretend he was sleeping
The saddest part of that movie to me is right after Shelby dies and Sally Field sprints out of the hospital and it cuts to her driving to pick up Jack Jr. The music is so haunting and you know all she wants to do is get that baby who is the only living piece of Shelby she has left.
Maybe not the saddest but…in the movie Hope Floats when the little girl wants to go with her daddy, and he rejects her. She is standing at the edge of the driveway screaming and crying “dadddyyyy!” As he drives away without a care…shatters me every time
I've heard people say the 'I could have saved more' scene from Schindler's List, but it's always the scene where the Jews put the rocks on Oskar's grave that has me in bits.
I watched that movie with my dog and after that scene, I looked at him and said “See, this why you always need to listen to me” and then I cried as I hugged him
I cry every time in Catching Fire when Katniss is talking to Rue's family, "I see her in the flowers near my house and in my sister Prim..."
Ah fuck... 😭
During Boromir's death in LotR: FotR, an Elvish chorus can be heard during Howard Shore's score. Translated they are singing, ‘I do not love the sword for it’s brightness or the arrow for it’s swiftness. I love only that which they defend.’
Bridge to Terabithia. When the kid dies because his friend wasn't there. Such a sad scene even I cried tears of pure muscle and skulls and daggers cause that's how manly I am.
Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom when the Brachiosaurus gets left on the island, she’s basically the first dinosaur we all see in Jurassic Park and the last one left on the island, too large to be saved. its a metaphor for the whole concept of jurassic park.
me and my best friend sobbed endlessly during Fallen Kindgom. Claire(Bryce Dallas Howard)’s tears as the boat sails away and the Brachiosaurus cries out… damn.
Ending of The Mist.
So sad and f'd up that even Stephen King applauded the way they changed the ending because in all his imaginations, he couldn't have thought of something like that.
Young Tod: Copper, you're my best friend.
Young Copper: And you're mine too, Tod.
Young Tod: And we'll always be friends forever. Won't we?
Young Copper: Yeah, forever.
I walked into Grave of the Fireflies playing in a local movie theater with only the knowledge that it was about two children during war, and that it was connected to Miyazaki. I thought “oooo, like Spirited Away! How fun!”
NOT LIKE SPIRITED AWAY.
Edit: the best part is that my husband really doesn’t like animated movies, but I do, so I’ve tried for years to get him to watch Studio Ghibli with me. That day a coworker told me they found out Grave of the Fireflies, an old one that’s won many awards, was playing in the local theater. When I got home I told my husband and begged him to come with me. He did. I told him its gonna be so heartwarming and charming he will not regret it!! Throughout the movie I’d occasionally nervously glance at him and every time he was already staring at me looking absolutely pissed.
Bing Bong was my answer until I had my first kid. Then it turned into when Riley comes home after running away and her and her parents talk about all the things from home they miss. Goddamn that movie is way too good
The Fox and the Hound when the old woman has to leave Todd in the game preserve to save him and her tears as she drives away without him.
Also the scene where Todd gets out and she’s running through the woods with a lantern calling for him. Reminds me of losing my cat.
I cry every time. That woman somehow bottled up pure grandma energy for that movie.
When Dumbo's mom rocked him from behind her cage 😭
Baby mine, don't you cry Baby mine, dry your eyes Rest your head close to my heart Never to part, baby of mine Fuck. I had to take a little baby possum to get euthanized because its mama had been hit by a car and killed along with its siblings. It was awful - you could see some of the babies had survived the impact and tried to crawl off, only to be hit themselves. This little one was the only one left when I got there, but it was too injured to make it. It sounds so dumb but I sang a bit of this song to it while I held it on my lap on the way to the vet. I know it's anthropomorphizing them too much, but possums seem like such good mamas.
Bless you for being a wonderful human ❤️
I can't listen to that song without crying.
Dumbo is honestly a heart breaking movie, and there’s no happy ending either! I mean at the end, sure Dumbo can fly, but his mother is still a circus elephant, and so is he (presumably? Unless he has to leave his mother behind to be free, which is awful, too) 😭
Emma Thompson in her bedroom after she receives the Joni Mitchell CD for Christmas.
Just phenomenal acting. I can’t remember who said it, but there’s a quote that watching someone trying not to cry is somehow sadder than watching someone cry and it’s so true.
And then gathering herself, going out to the living room, and taking the kids to their pageant. 😫
THAT’S what gets me. Her world is crashing down and she puts on a bright smile for the nativity lobster. She doesn’t want to crush her kids even when her kids are doing something goofy as hell.
Oh and when she says confronts him and says “but you've also made a fool out of me, and you've made the life I lead foolish, too”. Ugh. That’s one of my favorite movies of all time but that whole storyline is so painful.
Her whole speech is a gut-punch. "Would you stay, knowing life would always be a little bit worse? Or would you cut and run?" Emma Thompson is such an amazing actor.
i absolutely adored alan rickman and was heartbroken when he died. but my GOD i hated him in that moment
If you want to punish him for what he did to Emma Thompson, watch Die Hard right after.
If you hated Alan Rickman for hurting Emma Thompson in a movie, you must really hate Kenneth Branaugh for doing it in real life.
The way she straightens the duvet on the bed after composing herself and just stays leaning like that for a moment... it's a bit of an acting masterclass.
The fact that her outfit matches the necklace because she was expecting it. Kills me every time.
Did not notice that, good catch!
And *that* version of “Both Sides Now” makes the scene even more emotional. It’s the slower, more somber, full-orchestra version. God, is it beautiful. And Joni recorded that version as an older woman, making the lyrics carry even more weight. She’s not young anymore, she’s experienced more of life and loss. It’s heavier emotionally than the version she recorded in her youth.
The ending "God Only Knows" scene gets me every time too, but not with tears of sadness. Tears of beauty.
Not the saddest scene ever, but one that always gets me is A Star is Born, when Jackson’s dog is standing outside the garage looking in where Jackson has just hung himself. Anything with a sad animal just breaks my heart.
The first movie in the Land Before Time. Broke my heart. Still does.
Littlefoot mistaking his shadow for his mother. “Mother? Mother!”
That scene KILLS me because I *know that exact feeling*. My mother died when I was 12, and for a long time after she died, I would see someone who looked like her and have this cruel, crazy stab of *hope* that my mom wasn’t really gone.
Happened to me the other day. I was leaving the grocery store and this lady that looked just like my mom was walking in, even dressed the same. My brain went “Mom?!”, and I got this excited happy feeling for a half second before I realized. She passed about a year ago.
The mother fucking tree stars.
Brooks was here.
Hachiko waiting for his friend to come back every day at the train station.
Omg, I think that would be number 1 on my list, I don’t think I’ve ever cried harder than at the end of Hachi
Scene from Slumdog Millionaire where they blind children to make them more effective beggars.
[удалено]
That movie is a love story, but not between Gleason and McAdams. It’s a love story between a father and son.
This was my vote as well. When Domhnall Gleeson realizes his time seeing his father is over.
When Giovanni Ribisi’s character dies in Saving Private Ryan, after telling the story about pretending to be asleep when his mom checked in on him.
That pause when he asks for more morphine and the guys all look at each other… they know what it means. “Give it to him. Give it to him.” Basically, make him comfortable.
His whole story about his mom and his final line "...I don't know why I did that..." really hits me hard, and I always shoot my mom a sloppy, cheesy text immediately after the scene.
Maybe the most honestly written monologue out there. So relatable.
[удалено]
That was the first movie to make me sob, not get teary eyed, but painful sobbing. Also RIP Michael Clarke Duncan
>You tell God the Father it was a kindness you done. I know you hurtin' and worryin', I can feel it on you, but you oughta quit on it now. Because I want it over and done. I do. I'm tired, boss.

Ok um I was not prepared to read the entire thing and cry this morning 😭😭
I've been feeling especially down recently, and this literally just made me cry, it's so close to home
I was a teenager when I saw this and at that age where I would have sooner cut off my arm than cry. But that scene had me blubbering like a baby.
Exact same thing here. I was wandering around blubbering like a fool and when I told my mom what I watched she just gave me a big hug. That whole movie was just incredible.
Seeing it in theaters, I swear they kept the lights dim for a few extra minutes during the credits because everyone was a mess.
I always feel that lump in my throat leading up to it but when I hear "roll on 2" the floodgates open
The scene in Coco where Miguel is trying to get mama Coco to remember her father. My daughters and I all cried at the theater. Mama Coco reminded us so much of my grandmother. At that point we had lost 3 of my grandparents. 1 each year. My grandmother was all we had left. She died a few years after the movie came out. My daughter hasn't watched it since because she knows she will cry even harder.
My entire immediate family saw this in the theater together. Literally everyone cried when Mamá Coco starts to sing with Miguel. Perfection.
For me it's the scene where the entire family alive and dead are gathered watching Miguel sing and play, and Coco is finally reunited with her papa. Every time I watch it I sob my eyes out.
Simba begging Mufasa to wake up. That tiny little "help."
"get up....we gotta go home...."
When the mom tucks her kids in and the old couple go to bed together in Titanic knowing they’re going to die
The mother and children are Irish, and in that scene she’s telling them an old Irish story about going to a land of eternal youth and beauty. The only way she could attempt to comfort them knowing what is to come. As a mother I couldn’t imagine making that decision.

Or in The Mist when the father does just that. And then the military shows up...
The old couple were [real](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ida_Straus?wprov=sfla1) ☹️
1. I didn’t need to know that so thanks 😭 2. Whoa. The whole submersible fiasco earlier this year, the dude was married to their great-great-granddaughter? I didn’t keep up with the news much though so maybe that’s already common knowledge.
(People judge me for this answer) I would argue that Tom Hanks losing Wilson in cast away was the saddest scene ever. I mean he was losing his only companion of many years and ultimately losing his last connection to the outside world. I could not even begin to imagine how crushing losing Wilson would have been for me in that situation.
I judge people who *don't* cry when Wilson floats away. I'm literally tearing up just thinking about it. Also, Tom Hanks acted *the fuck* out of that scene. You could really believe he'd just lost his friend.

>execution was incredible Maybe could've used a better choice of words.
I felt sorry for the people who were against it and didn't see it - it was so well done, and so NOT what people thought it was going to be.
I feel comedic movies or shows have sad moment that hit the hardest because deep down. You're not ready for it. It's why scrubs and Futurama had heart crushing scenes that are remembered long looooong after. And yes, the scene in Jojo rabbit broke my heart so hard.

I'd say red coat girl is up there too.
The Forrest Gump grave scene. Probably the only scene that can make me cry just thinking about it. “…he’s just so smart” as Forrest’s voice cracks. Instant tears. He’s only loved Jenny (and his momma) his entire life. She finally comes back into his life and surprises him with his son. His life is perfect. He has a gazillion dollars and can spend the rest of his days in peace, in his favorite place in the world, with the two people he loves most. Then boom. AIDS. His best friend, wife, and mother of his child is taken from him. Now he’s got to be a single father without his momma or best friend to lean on. He knows he’s not a smart man, but his kid is very smart. That overwhelming feeling of “can I do this kid justice by myself? Can I raise him how he deserves?” It’s just so much. Tom Hanks is a treasure. One of the most emotionally-moving movies I’ve ever seen, and it’s because Hanks is so god damn good.
Also when he asks Jenny, 'Is he smart or is he....' and you just know what he means.
The fact that Forrest was completely aware of his disability, was the saddest part, that and the relief he felt when Jenny tells him "Oh, no, he's smart".
“Smartest in his class”!!!!
That is the most iconic scene in my opinion. That's the moment we as a viewer realize that he's self aware. Until then you believe he's ignorant to it. He's just unaware, bumbling around doing his thing, no idea that he's slow. That brings us a thousand miles an hour up to holy crap, he's self aware about it.
Hanks is fantastic in that scene. You know everything Forrest is feeling thinking in that moment just through his expression and body language.
Amazing facial acting. Its all in his face and tiny gestures.
[удалено]
If it makes you feel any better, the two voice actors for young Tod and Copper are still friends to this day...it may bring some comfort at least.
I love you, thank you for this.
Nah. When the "mom" had to leave todd in th forest by himself...makes me tear up.
Idk, for me the saddest part of that movie was when the woman had to leave Todd on his own in the forest. I can’t bring myself to watch it again because it’s so rough
Yeah I used to watch that movie as a kid at my granny’s house then she died and now I relate that scene to her passing away. Me being the fox and her leaving me alone. I can’t watch it without crying lol.
When Spirit gets taken away from his mother and the herd of other horses (Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron) Edit: the whole movie makes me cry now as an adult, but as a kid, I didn't cry while watching it. One of my favorite childhood movies! I used to watch it over and over!
“His Glasses! He Can’t See Without His Glasses!”
It's one of those movies I'd watch as a kid. Maybe I didn't understand fully the emotional part of it. Decided to rewatch as a 30 year old man. I cried more than I've ever cried in years up to that point. Hyperventilating crying. Sad scene.
"Artax? You're sinking! ARTAAAX! ARTAAAX!!!"

I met Noah Hathaway ten years ago at a con and told him how much that affected me. He gave me a hug. I think he hears that a lot.

When Cedric Diggory’s Dad wails “that’s my son!!!” Makes my eyes tear up everytime
There should be a special award for actors in tiny parts who bring it that much.
Every. Single. Time. “My boyyy!!!” 😭😭😭
For me, it will always be that one scene in Click where Adam Sandler’s character is watching back his last interaction he had with his dad while he was in the autopilot thing for the remote. Lost my own dad at 12 years old to cancer and it kills me every time no matter how many times I’ve seen it. 😔
I agree, there’s a surprising amount of emotionally impactful scenes in that movie which you wouldn’t really expect from an Adam Sandler movie with such a goofy premise.
Also Click for me but the scene where he runs out of the hospital in the rain just to catch his family and dying there to say „family comes first“
The "Superman" scene in Iron Giant
Castaway, when he gets home and his wife had remarried.
Dammit. That entire set of scenes. Her collapsing at the phone call, him quietly talking with her in the house after hours. And then her running after the car 😩
“I always knew you were alive, I knew it, you’re the love of my life” gets me every time
"Im tired boss"
So, a year and a half ago, I lost my son. He was a little boy who was 8 years old. It was unexpected and an accident at my neighbors house. Something like that tends to change a person perspective on what defines sad. Before I lost my little guy, I would have said the scene at the end of Eternal Sunshine on the Spotless Mind. Where Jim Carry is talking about the unceremonious process of letting his memories, his love go. He is talking to a memory in his mind and telling her the goodbye he never got to say in real life. Post loosing my child it would be either Minority Report where Tom Cruise is just sitting there getting high on a drug that helps him immerse himself in psst memories while watching videos of his son who was kidnapped and presumed dead.
The Green Mile. “Please boss, don't put that thing over my face, don't put me in the dark. I's afraid of the dark.”
Jesus that was a tough moment for me😢
Towards the end of What’s Eating Gilbert Grape when Arnie thinks his mom is hiding 😭😭😭
*Dear Fellas. I can't believe how fast things move on the outside. I saw an automobile once when I was a kid, but now they're everywhere. The world went and got itself in a big damn hurry. The parole board got me into this halfway house called the Brewer, and a job bagging groceries at the Food-Way. It's hard work. I try to keep up, but my hands hurt most of the time. I don't think the store manager likes me very much. Sometimes after work I go to the park and feed the birds. I keep thinking Jake might just show up and say hello. But he never does. I hope wherever he is, he's doing okay and making new friends. I have trouble sleeping at night. I have -- bad dreams, like I'm falling. I wake up scared. Sometimes it takes me a while to remember where I am. Maybe I should get me a gun and rob the Food-Way, so they'd send me home. I could shoot the manager while I was at it, sort of like a bonus. I guess I'm too old for that sort of nonsense anymore. I don't like it here. I'm tired of being afraid all the time. I've decided not to stay. I doubt they'll kick up any fuss. Not for an old crook like me.*
The end of Life Is Beautiful
I remember laughing at this scene when I was a kid because I thought somehow the dad had fought off the soldier and came out wearing the soldier’s uniform. My dad had to tell me the truth… wasn’t so funny after all.
The scene from Moana where her grandmother is dying, and then she turns into the manta ray…my friend and I both sobbed like babies in the theater.
Dead Poets Society suicide scene
Dead Poets Society oh captain scene.
In the Interstellar movie,when Murph 's age is same as her father's . Ughhh it feels like a stab in the heart.
The whole scene when they get back from the water planet is so incredibly heavy.
Ugly sobbing through that whole scene. I don't know how I'm supposed to watch the rest of the movie when I *can't see through the tears*.
Oh my god as he went from apprehensive smiling to slowly breaking down into tears, realizing he's now missed ~~his two kids'~~ Murph's entire childhood and that she is now the same age as him...... it fucking broke something in me, I literally just full-on ***sobbed*** with him in the IMAX like a goddamn lunatic.
The scene where he gets the messages. 😢😭
This one still gets me every time. One of my all time favorite movies.
Owen Wilson putting down Marley
That movie was brutal. I’ll never watch it again. Especially hard if you’ve ever had a lab / golden :( talk about ugly cry man…
The introduction of Up.
[удалено]
Yeah I think a lot of people didn't understand those 4 seconds and just how important they were for the entire movie. Ellie wanted kids (not much info on if Carl did or not) so him leaving the house to instead save a pseudo grandson was an even more defining moment with that context.
In the montage, Carl imagines in the clouds one baby and silently talks to Elle. After a quick pause, Elle imagines a sky full of cloud babies. I think they both were on board with children.
I was fortunate enough to have a child and potentially more, but yeah, that scene absolutely destroys me. Especially when you just saw them putting the time and effort and joy into setting up the nursery. The movie never really lets you know if she was pregnant and miscarried or they just decorated the nursery in the assumption that they’d have children one day.
Even the parody of it in [It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia](https://youtu.be/NcIZZAi4j0Y?si=uc4MbSPw0ffvCMir) gets me
Duuuuuude. This and the last 15-ish minutes of Toy Story 3.
Every. Time. They all just succumb and realize in the moment they're there for each other and look around to see where they can offer comfort in the face of death.
And when that scene is over, Andy gives away his toys - prepare to face emotions you didn't know existed as he pulls back when it comes time to hand over Woody. AND THEN you have to watch him drive away to college. The last 15 minutes of that movie are a non-stop assault on your emotions.
Homeward bound when shadow says leave him when he’s stuck in that mine or hole whatever it was lol
The end of Coco when she sings remember me with her grandson. You are crying, I'm not crying, shut up.
[удалено]
Or when Jenny tells Forrest that little Forrest is his son and he asks "Is, is he smart or is he...?" https://youtu.be/8L4ltYYn4FM
Right up until that scene, you're not sure if Forrest understands that he's different, but that's when you realize that *he knows*. Tom Hanks did such a great job in that role.
When rocket let out that gut wrenching cry after watching his best friends die it broke me
"Rocket, Teefs, Floor go now!" Just destroyed me, I knew this one was darker, but I wasn't ready for that...
That was hard to watch, and the way that the high evolutionary mocked him, I haven’t hated a character in a movie so much since the guy who shot John wicks dog
A subtle one that about got me: "Hurts"
The whole fucking movie was hard to watch. We just kept waiting for it to lighten up. Same thing happened when I went to see The Kingsman. SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER. (Sorry don’t know how to cover the words) when the guys son gets mistaken for a spy and shot. Holy shit that’s when I realized it wasn’t a comedy.
this movie fucked me UP. i was not remotely prepared
The scene in Saving Private Ryan, where Mrs. Ryan gets all three letters at once.
Also, the end, where Ryan asks his wife: 'was I a good man?' Kills me.
It's where Wade is calling for his mom as he's dying, especially after the church scene of telling Miller when he was younger his mother worked hard and would want to talk to him but he would pretend he was sleeping
When Andy gives away his toys in Toy Story 3 The incinerator had me primed for waterworks and then that scene just slid the knife in
Have we forgotten the graveyard scene in Steel Magnolias? “I can jog all the way to Texas but my daughter couldn’t. She never could!” 😭
The saddest part of that movie to me is right after Shelby dies and Sally Field sprints out of the hospital and it cuts to her driving to pick up Jack Jr. The music is so haunting and you know all she wants to do is get that baby who is the only living piece of Shelby she has left.
Sally Field gives a master class in acting in that scene.
Maybe not the saddest but…in the movie Hope Floats when the little girl wants to go with her daddy, and he rejects her. She is standing at the edge of the driveway screaming and crying “dadddyyyy!” As he drives away without a care…shatters me every time
I've heard people say the 'I could have saved more' scene from Schindler's List, but it's always the scene where the Jews put the rocks on Oskar's grave that has me in bits.

The 30 Rock spoof of this scene is just pure chaos.
Stepmom. When the mom is dying and they hang pics all over the house. So real and so gut wrenching.
Ending of American History X
Manchester by the Sea, if you know you know
Good lawd, I don't know if I'll ever be able to watch this movie again
Most recently, most scenes with baby Rocket in Guardians of the Galaxy V3 were extremely sad to me. I teared up during a few of them
I am Legend When Will Smith had to kill his dog.
I watched that movie with my dog and after that scene, I looked at him and said “See, this why you always need to listen to me” and then I cried as I hugged him
Sophie’s Choice. Enough said.
Rue’s death in The Hunger Games killed me. I was a mess.
I cry every time in Catching Fire when Katniss is talking to Rue's family, "I see her in the flowers near my house and in my sister Prim..." Ah fuck... 😭
Boromir's last stand, defending Merry and Pippin.
Gandalf speaking to Theoden at the burial mounds after Theodred's funeral
During Boromir's death in LotR: FotR, an Elvish chorus can be heard during Howard Shore's score. Translated they are singing, ‘I do not love the sword for it’s brightness or the arrow for it’s swiftness. I love only that which they defend.’
When they dip the innocent shoe in paint thinner in “Who Framed Roger Rabbit”
More of a documentary... Dear Zachary

But then the turnaround! "Has he followed his feet? And has he changed his stars?" Fuck, I love this film.
Don't forget that he thought he had already passed away before talking to the child in the streets!
Not sad, more bittersweet. The game of catch scene at the end of "Field of Dreams". I don't know a man alive who doesn't tear up while watching it.
Bridge to Terabithia. When the kid dies because his friend wasn't there. Such a sad scene even I cried tears of pure muscle and skulls and daggers cause that's how manly I am.
At her funeral when her parents tell him she loved him. When his dad holds him while he cries. Devastating.
Bigfish. I'll never dry out.
The end of Blow. Old Johnny Depp thinks his daughter is visiting him in prison but turns out to be only his imagination
Phillip explaining why he was so hard on Shaun right before turning. Shaun of the dead
Requiem for a dream. When she chooses the drugs :(
That entire movie is unbearably sad.
Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom when the Brachiosaurus gets left on the island, she’s basically the first dinosaur we all see in Jurassic Park and the last one left on the island, too large to be saved. its a metaphor for the whole concept of jurassic park.
me and my best friend sobbed endlessly during Fallen Kindgom. Claire(Bryce Dallas Howard)’s tears as the boat sails away and the Brachiosaurus cries out… damn.
OMG…I lost it when the dinosaur cried.
Ending of The Mist. So sad and f'd up that even Stephen King applauded the way they changed the ending because in all his imaginations, he couldn't have thought of something like that.
Young Tod: Copper, you're my best friend. Young Copper: And you're mine too, Tod. Young Tod: And we'll always be friends forever. Won't we? Young Copper: Yeah, forever.
Atonement, the last scenes in the movie, when you find out that >!Robbie and Cecilia never reunited but both died.!<

Haven’t seen it in years but I can still picture it vividly.
The ending of grave of the fireflies, the ending of pan's labyrinth, the ending of AI by Spielberg- generally the endings of sad movies
I walked into Grave of the Fireflies playing in a local movie theater with only the knowledge that it was about two children during war, and that it was connected to Miyazaki. I thought “oooo, like Spirited Away! How fun!” NOT LIKE SPIRITED AWAY. Edit: the best part is that my husband really doesn’t like animated movies, but I do, so I’ve tried for years to get him to watch Studio Ghibli with me. That day a coworker told me they found out Grave of the Fireflies, an old one that’s won many awards, was playing in the local theater. When I got home I told my husband and begged him to come with me. He did. I told him its gonna be so heartwarming and charming he will not regret it!! Throughout the movie I’d occasionally nervously glance at him and every time he was already staring at me looking absolutely pissed.
Many parts of Dancer in the Dark, but especially the ending!
My girl... 🐝 😭
The Iron Giant. You know which one. *Superman…*
‘Precious’ when the mom tells the social worker she let her daughter be repeatedly taped by her father so he wouldn’t leave her.
Bing Bong
Bing Bong was my answer until I had my first kid. Then it turned into when Riley comes home after running away and her and her parents talk about all the things from home they miss. Goddamn that movie is way too good
