Tear Jerker Movie Moments

[Andrew Turner]

Go ahead. Watch this. Don't cry... I dare you.

[TriOmegaZero]

I don't wanna.

[Lathiira]

Though I know what will happen, this scene always tears me up. I present to you The Ride of the Rohirrim.

[Benoc]

What? No old yeller?

[Matthew Morris]

Can't watch it from work, but two things always make me tear up.

1) The end of Schindler's list where the survivers and their decendants come over the rise.

2) When Heather dies in Highlander.

[Dal Selpher]

Contemporarily speaking, pretty much all of Les Mis.

[Jason Grubiak]

The beginning of Up destroys me every time.

[TriOmegaZero]

Superman...

I watch that scene when I need a pick-me-up.

Down with dogs!

[GeraintElberion]

I never cry during movies, but very occasionally I find myself in uncontrollable floods of tears about half an hour after.

Is that weird?

[Doodlebug Anklebiter]

Even after happy, dog-killing movies like Old Yeller or Where the Red Fern Grows?

Do they have dogs in Britain?

That one too. I still can't watch it.

Spoiler:

I think I knew Donna's health was failing, and I couldn't do anything about it. The rest of the movie is funny, but since I'm looking at being the old man living alone with Rocky VII, it hit really close to home.

Aw hells, I'm tearing up again. Thank you very much Jason. :-(

We have a huge dog ownership and whole industries which revolve around dog-ownership.

Yet, somehow, most Brits value human life over canine life.

It's a weird quirk we have.

[Doodlebug Anklebiter]

Just so we're clear, movies where pinkskins die make me happy, too.

[drunken_nomad]

The last ten minutes of Stand By Me, when the voiceover tells how life really works and how the things you think are SO IMPORTANT just fade away.

I never had any friends later on like the ones I had when I was twelve. Jesus, does anyone?

[drunken_nomad]

Yeah, the Up "life montage" and the Sarah McLachlan part of the life of Jessie in Toy Story 2 are pretty tough too...but if we're doing cartoons, you cant beat Dumbo swinging on mom's jailed up trunk.

Well, of course, towering inferno was probably a cookery programme for you!

Just to be clear, I've never even heard of the films you listed.

[Doodlebug Anklebiter]

All you need to know is: dogs die.

Yay!!

Another funny scene...

[Big Lemon]

Nothing ever gets me like Sam and Frodo on Mount Doom.

[Skeld]

When Bubba dies next to that river in Vietnam.

[pming]

Finding Nemo: ...when Dora (the fish with the short term memory loss) is explaining to Nemo about why she doesn't want him to go.

Every. Fricken. Time.

*sniff*

Children of Men, that scene with the baby

Band of Brothers, at the end

[Sissyl]

If it's okay to bring up computer games... One of the endings of Silent hill 2 is pretty tough...

Spoiler:

James has gone to Silent Hill because his wife died. After facing the worst of it all, the very fact that he didn't really value her when she was alive, he manages to get her BACK! Yay! Only, on the way back to civilization, she starts coughing...

[Jason Nelson]

This. Full stop.

[Asphere]

Those of us who have had to say goodbye to our best buds can all relate to this one: Marley & Me

[Doodlebug Anklebiter]

Hee hee! More dead dogs!

Just picture Marley being this little guy and then even a goblin could relate.

[galvatron42]

I call myself a tough guy, but this one gets me every time.

[Fallen_Mage]

For me it's:
1. The end of 300 or The 300 Spartans
2. Real Steel, when Hugh Jackman's character is shadow boxing Zeus
3. Any of the Rocky end fights
4. The end of Hero
5. Agent Coleson's death in The Avengers
6. When Russell Casse flies the Fighter jet into the Alien Weapon in Independence Day.

There's more, but I can't think of them at the moment.

*EDIT* 7. End of Braveheart

[TriOmegaZero]

"Tell me I have led a good life."
"What?"
"Tell me I'm a good man.
"You are."

GAH!!!

I forgot about that. Thats definitly my #1.
Oh man it messes me up every time.

Oh how about The Bridge to Teribithia?
I cant imagine anyone seeing that movie and not shedding a tear.

[Charlie Bell]

When the little girl hands kid William Wallace the heather blossom in Braveheart.

[limsk]

When Lt. Neil Thomas finally makes it home to the train station where his widow has been waiting for him every year on Valentine's Day since 1944 in The Lost Valentine
