What is your saddest movie scene?

End of ET when Elliott says goodbye to ET

Stepmom where Susan Sarandon realises she wont see her kiRAB grow up as she gives them their christmas presents
 
The end of Brokeback Mountain

The end of LOTR: Return of the King

Titanic -
I start crying at the bit where the old lady throws the diamond into the sea, then we see Rose's achievements over her life via her photographs then she dies and meets Jack under the clock on the Titanic - am still crying as the credits role.
 
Sorry guys, I didnt even think to put it in a Spolier tag as the book has been out for four years now! I should have been more thoughtful though. Sorry.
 
The end of 'The Green Mile' is probably the only film that makes me feel sad, and like someone else mentioned, Spocks death in Wrath of Kahn (Two lines in particular struck a chord: "You have been, and always will be, my friend" and "Of all the souls i have encountered on my travels, his was the most...*lip quiver*...human" :( ).
 
I wouldn't worry about it. I only thought of it because a friend told me the end of the book when it first came out and I hadn't read it. Its quite understandable why you wouldn't have considered it, which was actually why I mentioned it.

No harm done, its spoilered now!



Those were the two lines going through my head when I thought of that scene.

Agree with what you said about The Green Mile, too. I wasn't expecting the film to be what it was when I saw it. Its far more impacting than I was expecting it to be.
 
The scene in Grapes Of Wrath when Tom Joad (Henry Fonda) says goodbye to his mother. Henry Fonda performance in that film is one of the greatest I have ever seen. His delivery of this stunning speech moves me like nothing else.

Tom Joad: I been thinking about us, too, about our people living like pigs and good rich land layin' fallow. Or maybe one guy with a million acres and a hundred thousand farmers starvin'. And I been wonderin' if all our folks got together and yelled...

Ma Joad
: Oh, Tommy, they'd drag you out and cut you down just like they done to Casy.

Tom Joad
: They'd drag me anyways. Sooner or later they'd get me for one thing if not for another. Until then...

Ma Joad: Tommy, you're not aimin' to kill nobody.

Tom Joad: No, Ma, not that. That ain't it. It's just, well as long as I'm an outlaw anyways... maybe I can do somethin'... maybe I can just find out somethin', just scrounge around and maybe find out what it is that's wrong and see if they ain't somethin' that can be done about it. I ain't thought it out all clear, Ma. I can't. I don't know enough.

Ma Joad: How am I gonna know about ya, Tommy? Why they could kill ya and I'd never know. They could hurt ya. How am I gonna know?

Tom Joad
: Well, maybe it's like Casy says. A fellow ain't got a soul of his own, just little piece of a big soul, the one big soul that belongs to everybody, then...

Ma Joad: Then what, Tom?

Tom Joad: Then it don't matter. I'll be all around in the dark -I'll be everywhere. Wherever you can look - wherever there's a fight, so hungry people can eat, I'll be there. Wherever there's a cop beatin' up a guy, I'll be there. I'll be in the way guys yell when they're mad. I'll be in the way kiRAB laugh when they're hungry and they know supper's ready, and when the people are eatin' the stuff they raise and livin' in the houses they build - I'll be there, too.

Ma Joad: I don't understand it, Tom.

Tom Joad: Me, neither, Ma, but - just somethin' I been thinkin' about.


East of Eden when Cal (james dean) attempts to give his father the money he has raised for him as a birthday present and is rejected.

Stepmom - when Susan Sarandon's character Jackie is saying goodbye to her kiRAB and giving them their Christmas presents:cry:

Ghost - the ending when Molly can see him... and also the penny scene:(

Marley & Me - when Marley is being put to sleep:cry: I absolutely sobbed my heart out!!!
 
Oh god, when an awful memory to relive lol When Little Foots Mother gets killed by the T-Rex. That was awful to watch as a kid. :o

ET- When ET goes home, despite trying my best not to, I bawl my eyes out every time.

Terminator 2 - Still hard on me now, but as a kid, you really felt Johns pain when Terminator lowered into the molten steel, and the thumbs up the Terminator gives as he disappears is still devastating :cry:
 
I thought 'Seven PounRAB' was going to be really sad and I'd cry a lot (I usually cry at pretty much anything). It was upsetting but I wasn't even close to crying.:(
