    Saddest Movie Scene Ever?
    http://www.smithsonianmag.com/arts-c...#ixzz1TJaTH41L

    It appears some scientists have determined the a scene from a cheesy 70's movie called "The Champ" has the saddest scene in movie history. They is consistently make people cry on cue.

    Quote:

    “Champ, wake up!” wails Schroder’s T.J. as his father, a washed-up boxer played by Jon Voight, lays dying in the 1979 tear-jerker.
    I cna't say I've ever seen this movie. And I have never cried as an adult on the account of a movie scene.

    The only time I can remember crying was in "Old Yeller" when the dog got rabbies and died when I saw it as a child.

    So do any of you cry at this stuff?

    I teared a little when I saw Dumbledore die..

    But also cried when Jack dies in Titanic LOL...

    Oh oh oh! In Black Beauty, I cried through most of the movie. And not just a cry, a hardcore cry. That is the saddest movie I have ever seen. I'm not sure how it made me cry so hard... But wow... Intense!

    Awww geez, I'm probably the world's biggest sap. A cute diaper commercial can make me cry. :rolleyes: Bring on a scene with a little emotional charge and building swell of music...and the tears start. It's pretty pathetic. Give me a well acted scene where a man is crying though...and I'll break out in blubbers. :tears:

    I cannot watch Anne of Green Gables, because when Matthew dies I lose it (to the point I have to leave the room)... I mean, it's Matthew, and he loves Anne, and he's dead... and oh no... I think I need to leave the thread (room)... :tears:

    The movie beaches and steel magnolias. I try too avoid most chick flicks for that reason. I think that's honestly why most men don't like them they don't want to get all emotional and stuff.

    I just gave up a huge secret ladies, I think I may truly loose my man card.

    I'm a sap for love stories because I'm a romantic at heart even though outwardly I don't appear so.

    My four movie scenes that always get to me are these..

    The Notebook: When Noah and Allison die in bed together.

    Titanic: When Jack dies.

    Ever After: When Danielle runs from the ball crying.

    Last of the Mohicans: When Alice steps off the cliff to avoid being taken by the Huron and Uncas (you can tell throughout the movie they fall for eachother) is too late to save her.

    Of all of those, Last of the Mohicans will always be my favorite. The music score for that movie is also amazing.

    The ending of The Boy in the Stripped Pajamas. Only movie scene that has ever made me cry. It made me so angry...

    My biggest tear jerker ? Snoopy come home.

    I bawled and bawled and bawled when I first saw that as a child, and to this day I still can't watch it without loosing it.

    There are plenty of movies that make me cry, but none as bad as that one.

    Omg that movie was very emotional. I looked at it in the video store at least 3 times before actually getting it because I knew it would get to me but I had to see it. The irony was unbelievable. They don't teach kids in school that stuff anymore but when I went to school they did tell us about the horrors of the camps. As sad as that movie was, I think it was a great way to represent the way things happened back then and the way they raised their families around it believing it was ok. On both sides. It was a tear jerker for me too.

    Re: Saddest Movie Scene Ever?
    I kinda wish I had more emotion. XD I've got such a heart of stone. Actually, no i'm just good at controlling my emotions...
    Uh... Let's see.. I really remember Narnia when Azlan dies... I teared up but didn't really cry..
    This anime character when he died, though, his little daughter was crying and wanting to know why they were burying her daddy and her tone of voice was just so sad it was awful. :'( I teared up.

    And in the other anime Death Note when my favourite character L dies. I was constantly wiping my eyes and was depressed the rest of the day and I couldn't say really why with my younger sis was around.(She doesn't know L dies yet...) Thinking of L's death is making me sad now....

    I didn't think of that one either. That whole movie is sad. Most of it anyway. But yeah, the end is pretty emotional :(

    I don't actually cry during any of these movies but I sure do get testy eyed. Especially if I'm alone. Bad thing is, I usually don't even watch movies like these unless I'm in the mood for a tear jerker. Then it's worse lol!

    Not that I like to admit this and my wife can attest to this but the only movie to ever get me personally so far was Passion of the Christ. A few scenes in that movie had me tear up a bit and still does if I watch it. It also pulls at my heart strings watching that Sarah McLachlan commercial where they play the song "In the arms of an angel", I think it is for the ASPCA. Usually when I see it come on I have learned to just change the channel...

    Here is the commercial for anyone who does not know what I am talking about. Good luck watching it...

    I am such a sobbing ninny, when it comes to sad part in movies. Went to see the last Harry Potter, and cried the whole last 40 minutes. Sobbed at Marley and Me, and still cry when Mufasa dies in the Lion King.

    Pretty much any movie where an animal gets hurt.

    I put in another vote for Marley and Me. It had me crying at two different parts (the part where the wife just miscarried and is hugging Marley for comfort, mostly because my sister had just miscarried her baby less than two weeks before), and the part where they're burying Marley after he dies.

    "Goodbye bargain puppy..." does it every time.

    I've never cried from a movie, but I did tear up a little from the movie "The Host" (at the end.)

    Re: Saddest Movie Scene Ever?
    Aaahh it's nice to know we have tough guys with soft hearts here! :)

    For me, the movie that always gets me is Homeward Bound (the original from 1963). I'm okay through the whole movie until, right at the end, the old dog doesn't come home, and he doesn't come home, and then there he is! He's coming over the hill! He made it back home! Gets me every time. I have never heard the dialogue at the end of this movie because I'm crying my eyes out!

    Im a pretty big cry baby when it comes to getting into movies.

    I bawl like a little girl watching many movies, off the top of my head i can name a few.

    "Up" pretty good when i can lose it before 20 minutes of the movie goes by.
    "Toy Story 3" at the very end with bonnie...(i wont spoil it) that movie got pretty "real" lol
    "Moulin Rouge" I blubber like a child at the end of that.
    "Titanic" of course
    "Star Trek movie" in the very beginning not even 15 mins in I always lose a tear or two.
    "Click" I just refuse to watch that movie

    My mom always reminds me how when i was a kid i used to watch the original king kong and i would cry and cry at the end of that one.
    :tears:

    Oh man seriously the list could go on and on.
    As for those ASPCA commericals...I cant even watch them, I have to quick turn the channel at work before I lose it. Who wants to see a crying bartender?! I mean come on!

    Re: Saddest Movie Scene Ever?
    I guess I'll just have to go on not understanding it. I have to be completely overwhelmed emotionally to cry. I've cried at some funerals, when my grandmother died, when some old pets died, and my first happy tears when I got married.

    When I watch a movie or TV show, I just don't get that emotionally involved. I mean, I can get excited, I can feel happy, I can feel a little scared, and I can even feel sad for some characters. But not to such an overwhelming extent that I lose control of my emotions.

    I never get so excited that I jump up out of my seat and cheer.

    I never get so scared that I get up an run out the theater.

    It's just so hard for me to understand it as an adult. But I accept that others do cry at moves and such. My wife cries over next to nothing.

    I second this. I'm 14 though. XD I don't get teary or cry over movies and shows unless something really awful happens. And I very very rarely get that upset because of a movie or show. Only once I can really remember trying to hold back the tears and I was still sad all day after that thing happened.

    However when pets die, I do cry because I love them so much. One of my pet rats died because of a pituitary tumour so she died about a day after I realised something was wrong. I never held her much because she always bit me when I tried to grab her out, but she really was such a good rat. I feel bad that her sister is left alone though.
    I can't even imagine how I'll act when my beardie dies.:tears: Luckily he's still 1 year old.


    Though back to TV shows... I do get a little over excited at some parts of them. XD(Fullmetal Alchemist is just....man I go insane watching that... XD)

    I've never been an overly emotional person. Even when I was little I only cried if I thought my sister was hurt.

    But I have to say, every single time I watch the elephant man I cry. I can't help myself. It is such a sad movie.

    Aside from that movie, I think I teared up when the first Pokemon came out and The Pikachu has to leave. I think I was 10.

    I can explain it.

    You probably have close to zero empathy. It's just a social phenomenon that you may be immune to. Unfortunately, the typical personalities associated with a complete lack of empathy range from your 'loner' at the harmless end of the spectrum all the way to sociopaths :P

    Just having a little fun at your expense.

    Teehee!

    But I am empathic...to real people. Just not fictional ones. :)

    I have always blamed my emotional control on 2 things.

    1) My Dad. He was Army and red-blooded full testosterone. I've seen him cry once. Ever.

    2) Being picked on. I was picked on a lot for alot of reason as a kid. And I was taught to not start fights and to resolve conflicts peacefully. I had to learn how to control my emotions, especially my anger. So I guess that evolved into how I am today.

    Even today, I can be a raging inferno on the inside and not show it.

    I always get caught up in the scene of "I am Sam" When He and his daughter go to the diner And.He wants What ihop has and They don't have it So he starts screaming and stuff (I have a real sensative side when it comes to the mentally challenged. I always cry at the sight of one even of They are having a great time at whatever.) And in the movie brothers with Jake gylenhall (or however you spell it) And Toby maguire when Toby's character breaks down at the end and destroys the kitchen and puts the gun to his head outside and Jake's character has to talk him down while his wife screams and cries. It just shows the reality of what the army is like. I'm so glad They didn't allow me in or I'd be mentally messed up for sure.

    I cried during the Elephant Man, when Joseph ("John" in the movie) Merrick passes on, though I think they were more tears of joy. I cried during Marley and Me, and I nearly cried at the end of Cujo (based off the Stephen King novel, in which the ending also made me cry, but for different reasons because the endings are different).

    I cried during Cinderella Man when it seemed like he had lost, and the ending of Gladiator made me feel a little misty-eyed as well. Wow, I cried during a lot of movies :P
