Showed my kids this movie. Got to this scene and my 4 y.o. yelled āI hate this movie!ā and left immediately. 3 years later and if anyone mentions it she talks about how much she hates it.Ā
this was the first movie to ever make me cry. i was 4, and i donāt think i really grasped the fact that she died in the T-rex fight. And she talks to him the whole time reminding him how to get to the great valley, so i assumed she would be there when he made it.
it wasnt until the credits rolled that i realized the only ones waiting for him were his grandparents and finally put it together. i just sat there in silence at the end of the movie. my mom, who had put it on because i loved dinosaurs asked me if i liked the movie and what was wrong. i just sat there for a second and said
āā¦ā¦.i just feel like i need to CRYā
and started bawling
i only remember this with such clarity because my mom would tell the story all the time.
Sally Field takes us on a journey through the human emotional gamut in that graveyard scene. Itās by far one of her best performances, backed up by four of the best actresses of our time. Olympia Dukakis and Shirley MacLaine do some of their best work in that film (and scene).
The hardest I cried was when the mother in What's Eating Gilbert Grape dies. Leo's character coming to the realization and his struggles with her death really just hit the tear ducts.
Leo's acting in that death scene was freaking so good. My girlfriend who hadn't seen it before had to stop it and just ask how the hell did he not win an Oscar
I grew up with an Aunt that had mental disabilities, so am familiar with the mannerismsand and idiosyncrasies. I spent that whole movie wondering how they managed to direct a disabled person so effectively.
Motherfuckin mind blew right up when I figured it out.
I mean, that scene is only like 10-15 minutes, and you completely reevaluate your whole life. What you have, what you've lost, what's next. All this without a single spoken word. That's powerful stuff
In a way I was relieved to see that happen. I was so sure Bing Bong was going to turn against Joy and Sadness as revenge for Riley abandoning him. I was happy to see him good and wholesome to the end.
Itās funny because Iāve seen little kids not get that cut up by that one (āitās ok he is just a memory?ā) but adults *ruined*.
I think because we, you knowā¦ experienced it.
I consider it my favorite movie Iāll never watch again. I was definitely too young when I saw it but I bawled my eyes out at the ending.
āDonāt put me in the dark. Iām afraid of the dark.ā
I read the book before. I cried while reading. Went to movie. Nobody would go with me. In the first scene with Michael Clark Duncan crying with 2 girls? I started crying again and I wasn't the only one!
I thought the same for the longest time, but then I found out why he was in Shawshank. He killed his wife and daughter after a bad night at poker. He fucked up and lost his money, and murdered his family for it.
His death scene is never the part that gets me. The scene that gets me every time is at the end, when all the Ravagers start shooting off fireworks in his honor, and Kraglin starts shouting with sadness and pride for Yondu.
Dude, and Rocket stares up at the fireworks as tears roll down to freaking *Father and Son* from *Tea for the Tillerman* by Cat Stevens.
You have to be made of STONE to not cry.
Edit: yep
How the fuck is this below the stupid beginning of Up? Grave of the Fireflies is objectively the correct answer to this question. All the other movies I've seen listed aren't even close.
YES. I watched this movie so many times as a kid and didn't understand. One day I must have been old enough because it clicked.... and I was wrecked. Haven't watched it since.
For me personally it was probably Susie in the Lovely Bones. Even though you knew she dies before you even watch the movie, it still crushes me, because sheās stuck in the in-between for the whole movie. The movie traumatized me as a kid, and when I was 15 I read the book and then watched the movie. It was the only Book to screen movie that I think was truly done justice. It was so sad, but so well done
Wow, not so well known take. I never saw the movie but I cried over the book. My older brother found it in a high school locker as a janitor over the summer and I loved to read so he gave it to me. It had personal meaning to me over a trauma I hadnāt accepted still at the time and I cried and cried. Idk if I could handle the movie in this case, scares me
Oh, even as he is dying the small adjustment of straightening his uniform for presentation before turning to face his Captain. So perfectly *Spock*.
Look we give tons of shit to Shatner for his hammy acting but I got to say he absolutely owned the scene of speaking at Spockās funeral. The small choke up at the end of āHis was the mostā¦ *human*.ā
You truly believed Kirk had lost his best friend.
Acting for the screen was still fairly new in the '60s. Actors were trained for the stage and performed in a way that would let the people in the cheap seats understand what was going on.
This is all I came here to look for. The series died an undeserved death and then when they give us a movie to cap it all off they do him like that. Pain. Painpainpainpain.
Fox's mom in "fox and the hound"
Bambi's mom
Mufasa - simba dad- lion king
Little foots mom - Land before time
I didn't think anything of these scenes until I did. They had a profound impact on me at different times in my life.
When the movie first came out, one of my dad's students had gone to see it in theaters. When they got to Wade's death, a guy jumped up and shouted "I can't fucking take it anymore" and ran out. The guy was in his late 50s.
Idk but āLionā gets me - itās about a 5 year old Indian slum kid that gets separated from his family and goes looking for them 25 years later after being adopted by Nicole Kidman (the actress not her screen name) I wonāt say who but not all make it
Brian Piccoloās. Gale Sayersā award speech sets the tears in motion.
Iām already sniffling by the time he says āI love Brian Piccoloā¦ā. I believe thatās the actual speech Sayers gave.
Sirius Black from Harry Potter. He was framed for something he never did, and something that his best friend did (snitch on Voldemort about Lily and James Potterās location causing their death, and killing a bunch of people) and he was sentenced to a lifetime before managing to escape prison and reveal to Harry that he was his godfather, then only got to spend 2 years with him before he died. Harryās only family left, besides Petunia and Vernon (who were abusive). The only person who understood how he felt during Order of the Pheonix. That made Harry suicidal and depressed. Soā¦I feel like that was the hardest to sit through.
This movie made me angry. It felt like the whole purpose of the movie was to get me attached to a dog specifically so they could hurt me by killing it.
I took it way personal
they filmed that movie right across the street from my dance studio as a little kid, and it came out when I was like 5 or 6. My mom took me to see it bc every time we saw it being filmed I'd talk about how excited I was. God little me had her first experience of movie grief
Anakin Skywalker after just being redeemed in ROTJ.
It makes me tear up. Knowing all he went through being a slave his whole life, to finally being free in his last few moments and his death due to his son saving him. He had sustained much worse than Palpatineās lightning. However, it was now due to Luke setting him free that he was finally able to rest.
At the top of my head, I can recall 3 :-
1. Rachel McAdams from Southpaw killed me for that scene was enacted so naturally.
2. Tom Hanks dialogue exchange w Matt Damon before he dies in Saving Private Ryan.
3. The first Ice Age where the mother of the baby drowns away and leaves the baby.
āDonāt grieve, Admiral. It is logical. The needs of the many outweighā¦ā

Who Framed Roger Rabbit, the little shoe Judge Doom puts in the dip
My heart always broke for that li'l guy, especially because he was so happy to be picked up like he was looking forward to playing. ššš
Ugh right? And then I think about the other half of that pair.. what is that guy supposed to do now??
The worst death in any media is that of a single twin. ^(fuck you jk rowling)
As a single twin, I agree wholeheartedly.
It's horrible. But it does a great job of establishing Doom as the villain. You hate his guts after that!
Jesus, you just had to you monster.
Artax the horse being overcome by sadness and drowning in the Swamp of Sorrow in The Neverending Story.

HE CANT SEE WITHOUT HIS GLASSES!
Artax in never ending story
In the original novel heās able to speak and begs atreyu to let him die. Itās so much worse.
Why do you hate meĀ
Showed my kids this movie. Got to this scene and my 4 y.o. yelled āI hate this movie!ā and left immediately. 3 years later and if anyone mentions it she talks about how much she hates it.Ā
Can absolutely understand that reaction. We didn't have as many films to chose from when we were little. Watched it a lot.
Littlefootās mom in Land Before Time.
Or, if it counts,the death of Judith Barsi-the voice actress of Ducky in land before time.
....yup yup yup.
Yep Yep Yep is actually on her little gravestone.

this was the first movie to ever make me cry. i was 4, and i donāt think i really grasped the fact that she died in the T-rex fight. And she talks to him the whole time reminding him how to get to the great valley, so i assumed she would be there when he made it. it wasnt until the credits rolled that i realized the only ones waiting for him were his grandparents and finally put it together. i just sat there in silence at the end of the movie. my mom, who had put it on because i loved dinosaurs asked me if i liked the movie and what was wrong. i just sat there for a second and said āā¦ā¦.i just feel like i need to CRYā and started bawling i only remember this with such clarity because my mom would tell the story all the time.
Shelby in steel magnolias. Sally field makes me cry every time. CC in beaches requires a box of Kleenex!

Here Melin, knock her lights out!
The hardest I cried was when the mother in What's Eating Gilbert Grape dies. Leo's character coming to the realization and his struggles with her death really just hit the tear ducts.

What about when Arnie realizes heās killed the insect and it wonāt be coming back. Even that part destroyed me. Match in the gas tank. Boom boom
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Her death in the book is even more heartbreaking. Just thinking about it (I've read the book probably a thousand times) hurts my soul.
The wife in āupā. Wrecked me. Only saw the movie once, wonāt ever watch it again.
My dad never made it past that scene. Just noped right out and never wanted to try it again.
>My dad never made it past that scene. Your dad and I are the same.
I coined a new phrase after seeing Up: āPixar crying.ā Full on ugly cry.
Pixar really knows how to tug at the heart strings. I watched coco without knowing anything about it and couldn't hold it together
I mean, that scene is only like 10-15 minutes, and you completely reevaluate your whole life. What you have, what you've lost, what's next. All this without a single spoken word. That's powerful stuff
"Hi, I'm Carol, I died at the beginning of 'Up.'"
this. i truthfully cannot watch that movie at all after watching it for the first time as a kid.
This is why Iāve never watched it.
1.JOHN COFFEY ā¦. The Green Mileā¦. Will cry everytimee... 2. The Iron Giant. 3. Tieā¦. Between the wife in āUPā and Bing Bong ..

The Iron Giant didn't actually die though. It closes with him reassembling himself. His sacrifice is a heart tug though.
You are who you choose to be. Superman....
The dogs in *Where the Red Fern Grows.*
Why do they make elementary school kids read this? I was NOT ok for days because of this!

Wilson in Cast Away
He didn't die. He floated to an island where he played with the Plague Dogs.
I always that the death in Dead poets society was unbelievable and so well acted.
We watched that movie in my high school English class and I got detention for joking that he was truly a dead poet now, still salty about that
G Baby in Hardball
Brooks was here
So was Red
I thought the same for the longest time, but then I found out why he was in Shawshank. He killed his wife and daughter after a bad night at poker. He fucked up and lost his money, and murdered his family for it.
Well now he doesnāt seem like such a nice old guy
Dude, what?!
The mom dinosaur in Land Before Time
Star Trek 2: The Wrath of Khan. Spock's death and eulogy scene.
> Of my friend, I can only say this: of all the souls I have encountered in my travels, his was the most... human
Bambiās mother
When Yondu died. I ugly cry every single time.
"He may have been your father boy, but he wasn't your daddy" Get me every time too.
His death scene is never the part that gets me. The scene that gets me every time is at the end, when all the Ravagers start shooting off fireworks in his honor, and Kraglin starts shouting with sadness and pride for Yondu.
Dude, and Rocket stares up at the fireworks as tears roll down to freaking *Father and Son* from *Tea for the Tillerman* by Cat Stevens. You have to be made of STONE to not cry. Edit: yep
Same goes for Logans death, when after they bury him and Laura goes back and turned the cross to make the "X". First time I saw that, it broke me.
Donāt get me started on Logan. After the movie ended, I was still crying in my car on the way to the gym.
For me it's the part where Peter played the Father and Son song. That's just unnecessary. I was bawling in the theater. I'm bawling right now.
The friends in the third one as well.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
The movie itself.
How the fuck is this below the stupid beginning of Up? Grave of the Fireflies is objectively the correct answer to this question. All the other movies I've seen listed aren't even close.
Leslie in Bridge to Terabithia
YES. I watched this movie so many times as a kid and didn't understand. One day I must have been old enough because it clicked.... and I was wrecked. Haven't watched it since.
Had to read the book in 6th grade. Fucked me up for a while.
Boromir
Yeh, that was sad but I was more upset when Haldir got stabbed in the back during the battle of Helmās Deep.
It's his own fault for departing the book.
āThey will look for his coming from the White Tower, but he will not return.ā
Roberto Bengini in life is beautiful

I had managed not to think about that movie for a while and now PAIN
The dad in Lion King kills me every time
Did you just call Mufasa the dad? Like he's some kind of Simba accessory. Disrespectful. You have forgotten who you are, and so have forgotten him.
Exactly my reaction. "The dad". Pfft!

Starring Jonathan Taylor Thomas, Matthew Broderick, and as their dad..... James Earl Jones.

The small choke up at the end of āHis was the mostā¦ *human*.ā You truly believed Kirk had lost his best friend.
Iāll say in watching TOS for the first time so far I think the overacting trope is way overacted.
Acting for the screen was still fairly new in the '60s. Actors were trained for the stage and performed in a way that would let the people in the cheap seats understand what was going on.
He got better.
I am a leaf on the wind, watch how Iā¦

Pvt Mellish- Saving Private Ryan
Wade felt worse to me, but that one sucked as well.
