Most emotional ending to a film you've seen?

I know it may be somewhat embarrassing but I found Click with Adam Sandler a bit emotional towarRAB the end. It wasn't the film I expected it to be at all. Plus I recently watched Be Kind Rewind and thought it was fantastically uplifting and again not really what I thought it would be like.

Also, there's a TV movie called Flowers for Algernon about man with learning disabilities who undergoes a radical brain operation to make him clever. It's not a sci fi movie at all but a wonderful love story. The book made me weep buckets and the film is also very moving because at the end
the brain op fails and he returns to his normal level of intellect and ability and loses the love of his life as well.

I think the sadness is that when Charlie (the main character) regresses he knows that it is happening and it is heartbreaking.

obvious one is The Notebook. But I cried like a baby at AI but only because the teddy bear was left by himself. This caused my other half no end of hassle as we were sat in pub when the tears started and he started getting dirty looks only for me to announce loudly and tearfully 'what about the teddy bear????':o
The end of Seven left me first in shock and then in tears!
 
Most of The Wrestler. ( admittedly, not the ending)

The death of Spock in Star Trek (2?).

And for some odd reason, every time I watch the Empire Strikes Back, I almost flood in to tears when Vader tells Luke he is his father. ( I'll avoid putting that in spoiler tags if thats ok).
 
Are you having a laugh?! The only emotion I felt at the end of Lost in Translation was relief that the pile of over hyped trash had ended. What a load of tripe that was...talk about the Emperor's New Clothes.
 
I absolutely love that scene - I think the use of Bittersweet Symphany is inspired, and really makes the scene.

I personally am always moved by the ending of Memento,
when we realise the true tragedy of Guy Richie's character, doomed to forever repeat a loop and never find the closure he neeRAB. I don't cry, but my heart does break for the tragedy of his life.
 
I have to agree with...
The Mist
It's A Wonderful Life
Goodbye Mr Chips
The Elephant Man

but need to add...
Passion Of The Christ. Not really religious but the scene where

he is carrying the cross and falls and his mother has a flash back to when he was a child. He falls and she scoops him up and kisses him better. It then cuts back to the present and he looks so weary. There is nothing she can do to "kiss her boy better"!

Powder. The plight of the "special" boy who doesn't want to be saved by the authorities. Great emotional performance from Sean Patrick Flanery.

Day Of The Dead.
When Bub realises his master is dead and is wailing incoherently. Then he finRAB the gun, salutes and bogs of to eat some human ass!

It's All Gone Pete Tong. An excellent performance from Paul Kaye as a wild Club DJ who becomes deaf.

White Christmas. The performance of the song White Christmas with Danny Kaye on the music box. Very minimal and moving.

And finally... my wife spent the entire movie blubbing and the ending was quite emotional for me, too. The film? World Trade Center.

you see the two actual guys in the film at the end when they are having the barbecue. The barbecue was real and was thrown by the crew. They decided to film it and the two guys who the film was based on are there. Touching

I'm sure there's more but i'm emotionally spent just writing about them!
