Most emotional ending to a film you've seen?

The Notebook, when

Ally remembers the story is about them, then when they dance to that song, and when she forgets him and has to be injected and Noah cries :cry:
Gets me every time!
 
Why did Jim Carey waste his career with silly films when he can be so great when he's a bit more serious?... loved that scene too and cried (but this time it was joy... :))
 
For me, it was the end of Sixth Sense, when the boy and his mother are in the car, talking about his gift.
Bawled like a baby......for at least 15 minutes after it finished! :cry:
 
I cry every time in Titanic when Rose's fiance looks and a child is sat alone crying as the boat is sinking. And he leaves her!! :cry: (of course, he goes back and gets her to save his own skin - but I cry before that happens). Again when you see the mother tucking her children into bed as the boat is sinking... And then of course "come back jack".

Another one is Uptown Girls :o I cry every time I see the end with Dakota Fanning on the stage being a child. And the kiRAB holding her fathers guitars! Oh!!

Of course the obvious ones, Schindlers List, The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas.

Finding Neverland is another one when the mum dies, and on the first showing of "Peter Pan"... so magical and uplifting.

and how can I forget E.T?? As they fly over the sun... it's so heroic and then "I just want to say....goodbye." :cry:
 
For me it has to be Beaches with Bette Midler. Just hearing her sing 'Wind Beneath My Wings' has me reaching for the tissues even now.

I will happily weep through the last 20 mins of that movie :(
 
Just watched The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas having never read the book and even after 10 minutes had passed once it finished I still had tears running down my cheeks. Although critics have said the plot is not very realistic, there is no denying the harsh reality that innocent children were killed for no justifyable reason. These sort of films really get to me and The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas was no exception..harrowing, on a major scale. The really sad thing is that to this day, I still don't completely understand the real rationale of the 'final solution'!
 
I agree with most of these. I'm not ashamed to admit that I was crying at the end of Fellowship of the Ring. I was a massive fan of Lord of the Rings before seeing it, and the end part where Sam goes after Frodo 'go back Sam. I'm going to Mordor alone' 'Of course you are...and I'm coming with you!' was so brilliantly done onscreen that it was like some kind of crazy emotional moment for me. Brilliant acting, directing, music, everything is just so spot on. You might call me a pussy for crying at that, but frankly I don't care!!

Another one that hasn't been mentioned is Good Will Hunting. There are a couple of parts in it that get me every time. Robin Williams's performance in that movie is nothing short of Oscar-worthy, and I was totally blown away by him when I first saw it (that bit where Will is slagging off his dead wife and he just loses it with him). I was like 'My God! He's got a great dramatic actor trapped inside him!'. Of course, he'd been good in deeper roles before that, like Dead Poets and Good Morning Vietnam, but I hadn't seen those then.
 
Pan's Labyrinth

Ofelia is shot dead by her evil stepfather (its ok though because he's shot in the face a few minutes later :D). Then, as she dies, she becomes the Princess in her Kingdom, with her mother who died earlier in the film as the Queen and her dead father as the King. So, in a nutshell, she dies in this world, as she is restored to her true self in her world.

V For Vendetta

After being fatally wounded in a fight, V asks Evey to put him in the train with the explosives and to start the train. Then, as the train runs under the Houses of Parliament, it detonates and the HOP go up in flames, as V's supporters take off their masks and watch in awe. Among the people taking off their masks are characters who were killed earlier in the film by the dictatorship government.
 
Inn of the Sixth Happiness - Ingrid Bergman - when the orphans come over the hill singing nick nack paddywhack

Missing - Jack Lemon and Sissy Spacek - when they realise he has been dead all the time

Incredible Journey - when the animals come home

The Railway Children - "Daddy, my daddy!"

Pass the tissues! :cry:
