Most Heartbreaking Moment In Cinema

So, everyone knows of at least one moment in cinema that just brought tears to their eyes.  That one scene that just affected you in so many ways.  I've seen very few movies that were actually able to emotionally affect me, and even less that were able to bring tears to my eyes. 

So, for you, what was the most heartbreaking moment in cinema?

For me, it would have to be the end of The Godfather Part 3.  It was probably the saddest moment in a movie that I know of.  It wasn't a great movie overall, especially when compared to parts 1, and 2, but it was still pretty good.  That final scene on the doorsteps, that chilling scream, and final lonely departure from life was just an amazingly sad moment.

Not a moment in particular.

But, Grave of the Fireflies - just a very sad and well executed movie in general.

I have to agree with you.  that was a really depressing movie. 

the most heartbreaking moment in cinema for me was about half way through grindhouse when I realised I'd never be getting the time or money back that I had just wasted.Beaman

Nice list, I agree with The Green Mile, that was a very moving movie, especially the execution at the end.

The end of American History X.

Saddest ending ever.

Lion King: when Mufasa dies

This will probably sound gay i didnt cry but one of those hard to explain makes you feel all good inside is when in " For Love of the Game" when he throws the perfect game and then gives it all up.
