Shawshank redemption, Brooks was here, probably the saddest moment in any movie for me. That and the ending of Big Fish was tough...

I've never actually cried at a film, but the closest I got was during The Pursuit of Happyness, where the father and son had to sleep in a toilet. :(

I ended up hating the main characters apart from the old lady. She was the only one I felt sorry for. Anyway, the ending to Big Fish.

The scene in Werckmeister Harmonies where the rioters are sacking the hospital, and they get to the room in the back and realize what they've become.

The scene in the 400 Blows when Doniel talks to the psychologist, I don't understand but every time I watch the film that scene makes me choke up. One of my favorites.

Amazing film, Bela Tarr is one of the best living directors. Satantango is one of the greatest films ever.

Those are ones that got me a bit. Don't laugh at the Star Treck one, I was only little when I saw it and I couldn't believe they would do that to Spock! I mean Spock! He IS Star Trek! I didn't see it coming and was quite shocked, I was crying and complaining over it! Shame they ruined the drama in the next movie. Oh well.

Brokeback mountain - When Ennis gets literally ill when they part their ways for the first time. Or when Jack says he doesn't know how to 'quit' Ennis. Or when Ennis hangs their shirts together in his closet.

Dancer in the Dark - when selma tells her son that she doesn't have enough money to buy him a bike. Or when Selma can't perform in the musical she loves so much. Or when she has to shoot her neighbour. Or when she's all alone in her cell, all blind and she desperately needs to hear some sounds. And the end is so heartbreakingly sad :(

1 Litre of Tears - When Aya couldn't control her fingers anymore due to her disease... and she wanted to call her mother because she was so desperate but she couldn't operate the telephone anymore. I cried my eyes out.

I have been meaning to get into his films for years. I have a bunch of friends who love all of them and the guys who own this local video rental place near me say he is the next Werner Herzog. I dont like it when someone is described as the next anything but I love Herzog so Bela Tarr intrigues me. What are his best films to start with?

One of the saddest moments is at the end of The Legend of 1900 or The Legend of the Pianist on the Ocean. If you don't know this film, I'd recommend it to anyone. Especially if you love Forrest Gump.

Not sure if next Werner Herzog, his films are very slow and have very long takes with still shots, they're beautiful and give off this melancholic feel, I guess I compare him to my favorite Tarkovsky but really just see his films, Satantango is 7 1/2 hours long so maybe you shouldn't start with that, but Werkmeister Harmonies is great to start with, also Almanac of Fall and Damnation are good to start with, he hasn't made that many films but they're all great.

Yep, that was some powerful stuff. Right up there with the end of The Fly, and with Boromir's death in The Fellowship of the Ring.

When Spock died at the end of "Wrath of Khan".

dr_octagon

I really want to say that. Because that was a really nice touch of class, and was handled a hell of a lot better than I'd expect to see in a Star Trek movie.

Though in all honesty, that was sort of ruined by the fact that Spock didn't stay dead. You can't even say that it was just the sequels that ****ed it up. Because even in Star Trek II, they were foreshadowing that Spock was going to return. And honestly, that's sort of a cheap way to handle the loss of such an important character.

Anyway, my favorite part of Spock's death is that they didn't feel the need to make it overly prettied-up. Usually when good guys die doing something noble, they end up looking good. But Spock was horribly burned, sort of seemed to be in a stupor, and was bumping into walls like one of the three Stooges. They absolutely ****ed him up before killing him, and I congratulate the filmmakers for not making his death as easy and as palatable as they could have.

Shame it was so bad. One of the actors in it Stephen Rea is fantastic. He never got the recognition he deserved even though he has been around for years.

Boromir's death in The Fellowship of the Ring.

That made me weep so bad, he was my favourite character.

Others were Mufasa's death, Jet Li at the end in the film Fearless,

The scene in The Doctor, when the guy in chemotherapy overhears William Hurt's character's conversation, and he starts to cry. That scene kicked...my...ass. It makes me depressed just thinking about it.

Also, pretty much the entire second half of Awakenings made me cry like a baby. Don't tell anyone though please.

Have you ever watched that show "Amazing Stories"? Because there was an Amazing Story that was a lot like that. Same way, with a death row inmate who could heal people by touching them. Only that in Amazing Stories, the guy got executed and then his corpse got brought through the prison. And everyone gathered around to touch the executed man, and they managed to bring him back to life.

Reign over me. There were a lot of sad parts but the kitchen scene was probably the most moving. ' Why do you keep remodeling the kitchen...' And when ever a dog dies in a movie, it always gets me.

Then end lines of bitter sweet life was pretty sad. Then it got worse when the movie gives you the last piece of the puzzle.
