    Anyone who did not cry at the end of Star Trek 2: The wrath of Kahn is completely heartless.

    Ah, i remember watching Paradise Lost (1st WM3 documentary) when I was young, I couldn't get it out of my mind. I'm so happy that they are free now. It just shows that people don't forget.

    WHY WOULD YOU POST THE PICTURES!? All you had to do was say Lion King and I'm sure at least 80% of the forum would've understood what part! That's why I never liked Lion King (or Bambi) growing up. I preferred movies with happy endings.


    Though now that I'm older, I like the ones that end sadly when I need a good cry, to remind myself that things could always be worse. Speaking of which I really need to see Les Miserables. I hear that there's rarely a dry eye in the theatre....

    Also, it's not a film, just a three part Doctor Who episode but it makes me tear up and hate Steven Moffat and Russel T. Davies for their cruelness:

    When the Doctor thinks he will survive the Ood's prophecy and then he hears the knock, knock, knock, knock. And you see Wilf's sad expression on his face as he's locked in the radiation chamber, and you realize, the Doctor is going to die to save Wilfred, rather than die at the hands of the Master as one would expect (since the master constantly hears the knock knock knock knock drumbeat).

    Schindler's List and Hotel Rwanda feel like the same movie to me, but yes, both are heartbreaking.

    Persepolis
    Pan's Labyrinth
    Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (incredibly heartbreaking premise)
    Donnie Darko (awesome, wonderful, and heartbreaking at the same time)

    Some heartbreaking movies whose book form is (or should be) far more notable:
    Where the Red Fern Grows
    A Bridge to Terabithia

    Dead Man Walking left me as slobbering sobby remains.http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0112818/
    But since i'm very sensitive to touching music it might've been the soundtrack rather than story. Remember it was hella heart breaking tho.


    Pianist , http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0253474/
    I live almost exacly where jewish ghetto used to be in Warsaw. Watching that movie, and the destruction of my city opens some preprogrammed wound in me. Maybe because my familly lost loved ones in The Holocaust and my own fathers first concious memory was watching the flames over Warsaw during the rise and fall of Warsawian Uprising in 1944.

    Maybe without this inherited pain I wouldn't let it touch me so, but Pianist opens flood gate of emotions.

    Courageous
    - Actually, any film someone loses a child.

    Field of Dreams
    - My wife lost her father at a very young age and she balls during it, and that deep of pain she has just gets me.

    Old Yeller
    - Classic. Actually any film animals get hurt or die needlessly gets me.

    Not gonna lie, I cried when Wilson floated away in Cast Away. You know a movie is well-made when you feel emotional investment in a volleyball.

    Tell me about it. I almost bought a Wilson because of it... ( -_-)
