Most emotional ending to a film you've seen?

When I read that it gave me goosebumps remembering it, I must watch that film again soon.

The Bridges of Maddison County, When they are stopped at the traffic lights, pass the tissues.

Romeo and Juliette.

I'm going now cos i'm all depressed!
 
This is kind of cheating, but the ending of part one (before the intermission) of Gone With The Wind - where Scarlett does her "never go hungry again monologue"; the camera pulls out showing the panorama of the orange-filtered sky, with that Max Steiner score swelling to an almighty crescendo, and it never fails to destroy me into a blubbing morass.

In fact, it's so powerful that nothing in the second half of the film quite matches up to it - almost to the extent that it feels like a separate film.
 
I watched Requiem for a Dream for the first time last week and I cried at the end. It was very emotional.

Pay It Forward, starring Haley Joel Osment made me cry buckets.

I can't remember the title right now, but there's one with Anthony Hopkins and Cuba Gooding Jr. about Gorillas and that one made me have a breakdown. :cry: :o :D
 
Me too on the Green Mile also Seven couldnt watch that ending a second time .....and Von Ryans Express where Frank Sinatra runs for the train and is shot dead ... another is Phenomenon with John Travolta ...and Sliding Doors and Ghost
 
The Green Mile ending made me cry but more so the bit where he asks to see the nickolodeon and they see the dancers on the big screen, I sat blubbing like a baby.

Armegeddon where they get married at the end and theres the photos of everyone.

Moulin Rouge

Breakfast At Tiffany's at the end in the rain after they find Cat.
 
I actually can't watch that movie any more - I get so upset by it! I have cried through the whole thing, such a gentle, lovely, human being and all the people are so horrible and nasty to him.

And all the small things like getting his own room, having a friend to chat to, going to the opera, they mean so much to him and he is so happy and greatful when he experiences some sense of normality and is so happy to have a real friend....i am getting choked up now thinking about it! (and what a peformance by John Hurt btw)

Another very poignant one for me is in Empire of the Sun when Jim is singing Suo Gan as the young Japanese pilot takes his first flight....oh my god what an emotional moment, and the music is just hauntingly sad and beautiful. :(

Fantastic thread btw and I loved reading everyones comments....

And oh forgot to add - someone else mentioned the end of Trains, Planes and Automobiles....I was in pieces!!

And also I dont think anyone has mentioned The Pianist - I found that very upsetting and cried to most of that too! :-(
 
I cry at all most anything, I'm dead weepy. But my top ones are:
Steel Magnolias
when Sally FielRAB is doing her speech
Stepmom
when Susan Sarandon and her daughter are talking about her dying
One True Thing
When you realise Meryl Streep killed herself
The Notebook
the older couple :cry:
And Green Mile, the whole film makes me cry.
 
The Lion King - "Somebody...anybody...help..."

Forrest Gump - "He's so smart, Jenny..."

The Two Towers - "No father should bury his son..."

Boyz N Tha Hood - "Ricky!"

American History X - "No, Danny, no!"

An American Tail - "Fievel!"
 
I cry every time at the ending to Stand by Me. :cry:

I get so caught up in the story each time I watch it, and when

adult Gordie (Richard Dreyfuss) has finished telling his tale, he's sitting in the car holding a newspaper that has headlines of Chris' death- and he looks up and remembers an image of young Chris (River Phoenix) waving at him, "I'll see ya." "Not if I see you first," then Chris fades from the shot.

my tears start. Then:

The camera cuts to adult Gordie finishing the last sentence of his book on his computer, which reaRAB "I never had any frienRAB later on like the ones I had when I was twelve. Jesus, does anyone?" And he looks over at his own children and smiles, and the amazing Ben E. King song starts up!

And I'm uncontrollable! So poignant, and it gets me every time! :cry:
 
I went to see "Nights in Rodanthe" Richard Gere film in the cinema late last year, not going to spoil the ending for others, but it was the first time I'd cried at a movie in so long. Was expecting such a happy ending and...
