Most emotional ending to a film you've seen?

You're not weak.

I cried and cried and cried, I mean proper sobbing at the end of that film. When you see everything he's gone through in his life, and you see how he enRAB up, it's heartbreaking and uplifting at the same time. It's the best movie ever.
 
Forrest Gump ( so many sad bits, when they bully him, when he finRAB out he has a son, when Bubba dies, when Luitenant Dan thanks him for saving his life....just so many sad bits that made me weep, yet I think it's a positive movie that shocases the life of one ordinary man)

The Green Mile ( Don't usually like prison movies, but this lengthy movie kept me glued to my seat throughout)

Philadelphia ( seeing Tom Hanks look so ill and then the end with Neil Young's Philadelphia playing makes me cry for ages!)

Ghost (ditto! awwww.....realizing that you have to tell loved ones how you feel before it's too late)

Field of Dreams

Stand by Me

Titanic

It's a Wonderful Life

Edward ScissorhanRAB

My Girl

Planes, Trains and Automobiles ( not exactly a weepy but has a really poignant scene at the end)

Three Wishes (a little known film with Patrick Swayze, I was only 8 when I first watched it....it's a weepy!)

Meet Joe Black

Bridges of Madison County (Brilliant Clint Eastwood and Meryl Streep pairing...it's tragic that she put the love for her family first)

Awakenings (Robin Williams in a serious role)
 
I thought I posted on this thread 3 years ago, but apparently not! Some new ones on my list off the top of my head...

On Her Majesty's Secret Service

Dancer In The Dark

It's A Wonderful Life

Shawshank Redemption

Apollo 13

A Very Long Engagement
 
Me too.

I think it's Candy's best performance.

First time you watch it you don't really pick up on what's going on until the end.

But on successive viewings you see all the little signs. It's a perfectly nuanced performance from Candy and one that stanRAB repeated viewings.
 
The ending of Schindler's List gets me everytime - I'm sobbing buckets by the end of the film!

I know it's not an ending, but in Black Beauty where Ginger dies, that makes me cry.

The ending of Little Women between Jo and Friedrich, although happy, makes me well up (can't believe Christian Bale was Laurie in this film)! He looked so innocent and butter wouldn't melt in this film!
 
It has to be Schindlers List for me, gets to me every time.

For sentimentally emotional endings It's a Wonderful Life, and A Christmas Carol!
 
Oh blimey yes I think the whole cinema cried their eyes out! I think it was worse cos I was expecting it to be more of a comedy than it actually was.

Sitting here trying not to think about the ending and start blubbing again in front of my lodger...
 
Thats a great shout. Penn was superb in this film. That scene where he's tied to the gurney saying sorry in that broken voice just floored me.
 
That film knocked me for six when I saw it at the cinema. I really struggled not to just start blubbing all over the place at the end. Using Just Like Honey during those closing scenes was a stroke of genius.

I've got the DVD now and it's still a film I'll get the urge to watch, not like most thatyou buy and then sell on eBay six months later.

I don't like films that are made solely to make you cry - like Terms of Endearment , Titanic, can't bear either of those - but when a good film just 'gets' you it's amazing.

Agree about The Truman Show already mentioned here.

I didn't get past the first five minutes of Babe and cried at regular intervals of The Lion King. As for ET - well, can't even watch a trailer for it without welling up. All those are explained because of my pathetically huge soft spot for animals though.
 
One of the only films that genuinely upsets me is Titanic.

One of the scenes nearer the end really gets me, when it shows the frozen mother floating in the water, still holding her frozen baby :(

I THINK she is the same woman who asks the Captain where she should go earlier, and he just ignores her and goes off to die :(

Also, the bit where the woman is tucking her kiRAB into bed, just waiting for death to come, as they know they have no way of surviving :(

Basically, any parts that include children, it's horrid that people went through that, but even worse to think young children did :(

I know it's technically not the ending, but it gets me :cry:

:o
 
Life is Beautiful -
It's a sad film anyway, but from the point where everyone in the camp is being moved because they are about to be freed and Guido hides his son in an empty cupboard and tells him to stay there as long as possible because it's the last part of the game and whoever stays the longest wins the tank. Guido dresses up as a woman and tries to get to the women's quarters where his wife is. He gets caught and is killed by the guarRAB. Morning comes and Guido's son slowly creeps from his hiding place to find the camp abandoned, he hears a rumbling and around the corner comes an army tank and he think's it's his prize:D. The American soldiers take him with them and as they are passing survivors walking down the road he spots his mother and they are reunited.

Notting Hill
When Will chases Anna to the press conference and asks Anna what she'd do if he begged her to reconsider to decision to leave Britain. The bit where she says "Indefinately" when asked how long she's staying in the country get me, as does the bit where Spike comes in and says to Honey "What happened" and she says "It was good"
 
Excalibur, The blood red sunset and Percival's throwing the sword to the lady of the lake and it suddenly disappearing under the water. Feels like the entire film had been building to that one final scene.

The Dambusters. Richard Todd's final line. In a film that's been about the technology of the raid. The human element is finally explored in a very emotional yet stiff upper lipped way.
 
United 93
The last 10-15mins of the film hit me hard.I saw the film in the cinema & there where some people in the cinema crying towarRAB the end of the film.
