Saddest Scene In A Film

I tend to avoid comparing books to movies, they're different storytelling mediums and as such it takes different devices and aspects for each to be effective.

In Castaway when he looses Wilson.

I would to, but I wouldn't encourage them to compare the two. Books and movies simply aren't comparable. Apples and oranges. Different mediums using different devices to tell their stories.

Schindler's List end, when Liam is preparing to leave, and he is angry at him self cause he could have saved more ppl had he not wasted his money on luxury and stuff, IMO the saddest scene I've seen, and one of the best scenes as well

Shouldn't you guys be using tags? 😛

Spoiler:
In the Notebook near the end, when they're dancing as an old couple, and then she forget and starts freaking out, and the poor old man has tears in his eyes. cry

Requiem for a Dream, the ending mostly.

Titanic. Admit it. You got a least a lump in your throat!

Gangs of New York- Beggining where dad dies.....

I can't believe no one mentioned:

Of Mice and Men: where George has to kill Lenny........I almost cried...

I know some more good ones but I forgot.....

The Color Purple: Pretty much the whole movie.

But seriously guys, use spolier tags 😬
Some people might just be interested in some sad scenes without having the movie ruined.

I have one scene, I have no idea what movie it is from though, I haven't seen the whole movie but it was sort of like this...
2 women where standing in the sea pushing eachother around, having fun. Suddenly the one tells the other to do it now and the other keeps that womans head under water. I guess she was sick or something.. well it had a sad sad cranberries song under it (no need to argue) and it made me upset a lot haha!!

"Platoon"-

Spoiler:
Dafoes death

wow... nobody mentioned mufasa's death. that scene gets me everytime. "get up, dad... get up." so sad.

1. Schindler's List, "He who saves one life saves the world entire" scene, even though it was a tad overdone - I still cried =/
2. Dancer in the Dark, when Selma's money is stolen and when she is hanged
3. Glory -- the end =(
4. Lawrence of Arabia, for some reason, depressed me after I watched it.
5. Sekai no chuushin, de ai wo sakebu - man, just the majority of the movie
6. After Life (wandafuru raifu) - okay, more touching than sad, but eh.

Hmm, I thought the end of RotK was only sad because it was the end of the trilogy, but was overall, rather uplifting and positive.

For me, Million Dollar Baby and Life As A House take the cake. Those were very sad movies and you really felt as though you cared for the characters by the time it was over.

The whole ending of House of Sand and Fog
