What's the most tearkjerking scene you've seen in a movie?

Question

stuff that made you cry buckets of tears

Answer 1

I know I'm a geek for saying this, but I won't lie.

In Star Wars-Return of the Jedi, when Darth Vader returns from the Dark Side and saves his son Luke Skywalker from certain death by the Emperor, he dies as they try to escape the Death Star. When Luke is setting his body aflame on the funeral pyre upon landing on Endor, that music coupled with the knowledge that any person with bad in their heart can indeed change back to good, that was a tear jerker for me. Plus, a father saves his son's life. That made it emotional too.

Answer 2

Psycho (1960) ~ think of the sweetness back then as a results of fact the objective audience settled in for a narrative of how this woman is going to repent her crime. Then... grimy Mary loopy Larry (1974) ~ WOW! Others that are evoked are: Kirk Douglas' character in Saturn 3 Radha Mitchell's character in Pitch Black Barry Miller's character in Saturday evening Fever Richard Jaeckel's character in specifically circumstances a large concept ~ this may be a painfully drawnout dying however. the area does take place unexpectedly, and we expect of a rescue is handy. Then, the inevitability of what is going to take place creeps in for a grueling wait. every person who has seen this action picture will vividly keep in mind the scene even a protracted time later on.

Answer 3

Percy Talbott singing "There is a balm in Gilead" while Johnny B. comes up slowly behind her, like a scared animal being tamed again, in the movie "The Spitfire Grill".

The first time I saw it, it just moved me a bit, but the next time I saw it, I knew exactly what it meant, why she was singing it, who Johnny B. really was, and why Percy was calling him that.

And man, I really do cry when I watch that scene; it gets me every time. More than even the death scene, later, or the funeral, where the villain of the story comes clean and confesses that he judged the deceased wrong and takes responsibility for the death. Or even the ending. Or the resolution between Johnny B. and Hannah (although that's pretty gut-wrenching, too, and this is where I finally cried the first time I saw the movie).

And I can't help crying with pure joy every time "It's A Wonderful Life" reaches the last few minutes and Harry Bailey toasts his brother George Bailey as "the richest man in town".

Answer 4

I cry during a lot of the chick flick movies, but it's the animal movies that really get to me.

The biggest bawl session I ever had was watching the movie Eight Below where the sled dogs are left behind (and tied up) when the camp evacuates for a snow storm.

I cried so hard through the whole movie that I gave myself a headache.

Answer 5

Where the Heart is with Natalie Portman. Her boyfriend and father of her unborn child dumps her stuff in the Walmart parking lot and takes off leaving her in a state where she knows no one. She is superstitious and has a thing against the number 5. So she lives in the Walmart. One night she goes into labor and is walking around crying and screaming when the labor pains hit. Forny, the local librarian, followed her to see where she went every day and was there to rescue her. he jumped thru the store front windows and delivered her baby. This is a must see chic flic!!

Answer 6

In "My Girl" with Macaulay Culkin and Anna Chlumsky when Thomas J. died from the bee stings trying to get Vada's mood ring back and then he's laid out for the wake/funeral and Vada runs up and starts crying and says "where are his glasses? he can't see without his glasses." That was the saddest, most tear-jerking thing I've ever seen in my life. I love that movie; it's in my top ten all time favorites, but when I watch it, I'm basically crying the whole time thinking about that scene.

Answer 7

The Outsiders... When Johnny Cade dies. Heart wrenching.
I have a hard time watching scenes with children dieing.
What Dreams May Come... Walk the Line - Even though it is a short scene, when the older brother dies, harsh.

Answer 8

Love Story
Old Yeller

Answer 9

Brian's Song when Billy Dee Williams ask everyone to pray for Brian Piccolo And the death scene of course

Answer 10

That's a hard one. I cried buckets watching "Death of a Salesman," but I'm not sure I could put my finger on which scene, specifically. Perhaps when Willie Loman finally decides he's going to commit suicide, and is talking to his hallucination of his wealthy brother about it. The "brother" tells him to do it. That is, he imagines his brother would tell him that it was a good idea.
