Sean Connery getting ripped to shreds by a tommy gun in The Untouchables was pretty sad...great character, violent ending for him.
As a little kid i remember the "o captain my captain" scene from Dead Poets Society got me a little choked up

Great scene tbh "Isn't that just like a wop, bringing a knife to a gunfight!"
The ending of American History X.
But "Derek" sells out so badly that I can't get there when his brother is murdered in the boy's bathroom. He rolls over not because he's suddenly no longer enraged at his father's murder, the destruction of his family and the marginalization of his race, but, only because he's raped and can't take it anymore. He then proceeds to castigate the Stacy Keach character for doing pretty much the same damn thing (rolling over because he couldn't do the time).
"X" is a horse entry....though I'll tell ya the flashback Color/B&W dinner table scene(s) father living/father dead are absolute nails.
So many great scenes and lines in that movie (and yet another Morricone score). Like any historical drama it takes liberties with some of the characters/actual stories of what happened back then, but nonetheless it's almost a perfect film to me.
and of course the train station scene/homage to Battleship Potemkin
Hugh Jackman puts on a good performance in the Fountain... always tear up when Izzi dies and he's sitting on the bed.
The ending to Life Aqatic, when Steve finds the shark
Beasts of the Southern Wild had a few moments
Up in the Air and The Road. Lion King

Great score, Deads, but, alas, too truncated.
& the scenes that grip me each time are the part(s) where De Palma permits "Capone" to indict those who have come for him in such pussy & chicken MO's. "You got nothing." --- "Nothing but talk and a badge."
That's kind of De Palma.
was just gonna post this. Saw it yesterday and cried at the ending sequence.
One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest
Toy Story 3
50/50
Unbelievably hard movie to watch because it starts so settling and calm then just twists your mind with how horrid human nature can get. The ending, if you seen it you know why, definitely had me near tears.
Also, I know it's not a movie but the ending of The Shield damn near had a guy bawling. I followed that show from the beginning and it still remains one of my top 5 shows of all time. The series finale is the most gripping, sad finale I've ever seen. Poor Shane, poor Ronnie and poor everyone outside of Vic. Having Ronnie taken off with him yelling to Vic "we were gonna go to mexico together!!"
not as bad as the doc Dealing Dogs where the guy goes undercover at a kennel somewhere in Arkansas during the winter. The worst part was showing the outdoor concrete cages that they just wash out with a hose and put the dogs right back in with freezing temps. That gas chamber scene was actually a relief to me when I saw it because of the living conditions of the dogs in the other doc. Then again, the gas chamber scene's all I saw cause it was online
Yeah that one got me bigtime. Great movie.
The few times I've seen the untouchables I can't even take the rest of the movie seriously because Sean Connery using Italian racial slurs is so hilarious
Only better usage of Italian racial slurs is in LA Confidential when Russell Crowe says "What do I get if I give you your balls back you wop sucker"
Why did I get married.
an even better one was Jack Nicholson's "no use crying over spilled guineas" in The DepartedThe few times I've seen the untouchables I can't even take the rest of the movie seriously because Sean Connery using Italian racial slurs is so hilarious
Only better usage of Italian racial slurs is in LA Confidential when Russell Crowe says "What do I get if I give you your balls back you wop sucker"
Another great moment, Cub. This movie wins for me because it's even more heartbreaking the second time through (at least in some scenes). In the beginning when he's in old age and he visits Fat Moe's bar--there's a scene where he steps on the toilet to peek through a hole where he first saw and fell in love with Deborah (a young Jennifer Connelly)--kills me everytime I watch it. That, and th last 10 minutes of Cinema Paradiso I will not watch with anyone else b/c I'd be ashamed of crying
and monosylab1k, no mention of Half Nelson? You disappoint me
this movie, everything about it!
The Last of the Mohicans, The Pianist and Braveheart when it comes to movies for adults.
Blue Valentine is sadder than Half Nelson. The last few minutes of Cinema Paradiso made me smile, not cry.
La Bamba.........."Ritchieeeeeeeeaaaaahhhhh!"
It is indeed a true treasure, Deads.
It's sad the way the neighborhood changes...and the once bustling Jewish Deli is near silent now, some of the rooms cemented off. It's a bar now, teeming with garish, vulgar neon advertisement for beer and spirits. Deborah & Moe's parents are gone now and their children are broken. Both have sold out.
