Watched it for the first time tonight and that was the first time Ive cried in years man. That movie will make any grown man cry, god damn its underrated as hell.
Also, Star Lord did nothing wrong. Had that been the case, Dr. Strange- who knew the one way they could beat Thanos- wouldve said "no! Stop. You're ruining the plan."
Oh! is that the scene when he breaks down as he's surrounded by all the people he's saved before they secretly send him away? yeah that really chokes me up
I just watch the part when they are talking about the new girlfriend (it feels like a normal conversation) then I stop and watch something else in my Itunes library the ending is too painful.

yeah but it was still sad. there was no doubt that Marvel would kill such new characters but still a lot of people were crying (especially the 14 year old fan girls who know like nothing about the comics)
The saddest ending to a movie was "Only the Brave." True life story of the Granite Mountain Hotshots...19 firefighters who all tragically burned to death when they had no way of escape. Finding out it was a true story just ripped my heart out.
"IN MOVIE HISTORY"? Really? Nearly half these films are Fantasy/Sci-Fi/Super Hero films that were, although well made and effective, still movies that were experienced as "just a movie" type. What about One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest (1975), The Champ (1979), Sophie's Choice (1982), Frances (1982), Philadelphia (1993), Life Is Beautiful (1998), The Green Mile (1999), Boys Don't Cry (1999), Requiem for a Dream (2000), Oldboy (2003), Million Dollar Baby (2004), Brokeback Mountain (2005), United 93 (2006), Atonement (2007), The Mist (2007), The Boy in the Striped Pajamas (2008), Blue Valentine (2010), A Separation (2010), Amour (2012), Manchester by the Sea (2016), etc?
I'm going to slightly disagree with you here. I get what you're saying about there being a whole list of other, potentially much better candidates for "saddest endings" than the ones they listed, I don't necessarily think "genre" is the key element or even particularly. What's most important is how much the audience connects with the characters, how unexpected the ending is, and the finality of the ending. I grant you that Avengers Infinity War and Terminator 2 both being sci-fi franchises probably have a lesser overall impact since we know that all of the heroes can simply return in the inevitable sequel. Arnold surely lives up to his catchphrase (I'll be back). But that didn't stop me from crying at the end of the movie when I was 13 years old. The same argument applies to Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan (although my mom still cries after seeing it almost 40 years later). In sci-fi people can come back from death, so it's usually not a problem. Certain genres and films still appeal more towards a particular audience than others. And if you have a bigger connection to ET than you do to Hillary Swank, then you're not going to be as moved by Boys Don't Cry or Million Dollar Baby. Movies like Philadelphia and United 93 were sad indeed, but to be honest they weren't really saddest endings even for me since I already expected the exact ending that we got right from the beginning. It's like watching a Leonardo DiCaprio movie; you know he's probably going to die in the end, so you don't invest too much into him being alive in the end. When you know the ending is tragic at the beginning of the film, the impact is lesser. Similarly, I could just as easily include many lower budget or indie films that people have probably never heard of like The Ice Storm, or Life As a House, or Mysterious Skin as having particularly sad endings, moreso than some of the films you mentioned. Frankly, I'm surprised Old Yeller, Stand By Me, and Beaches weren't on this list.
This movie should be illegal. The silent yet deep suffering throughout the movie and that ending...I cried so much I thought I was going to pop some brain vessel...
Films that should be on here: - Donnie Darko - Forest Gump - Watership Down - The Iron Giant - The Green Mile - Grave Of The Fireflies - The Plague Dogs (man, THIS one in particular...)
1. Old Yeller shot (Old Yeller) 2. Billy Flynn dies (The Champ) 3. Wolverine dies (Logan) 4. Jenny's death (Forrest Gump) 5 Rocky's last hurrah (Rocky Balboa)
They're both really sad situations that I doubt anyone would question if they weren't in the MCU. A young boy dies trying his hardest to make a difference in the world because he feels that if you have the ability to do something and you don't then the bad things are your fault. His mentor watches the life leave his eyes and the boy even apologizes in his last moments. That's heavy shit. Then with cap he wakes up to find that 99% of all the people he had ever known and loved are dead and the world he lived in is unrecognizable now
BurningEagle yeah they're sad endings but to put them on the list of saddest endings in movie history???? There are thousands of movies with way sadder endings than any movie in the MCU
Definitely a sad and horrific movie and ending. However it also left me with a feeling that justice was done. The German boy's father was, after all, responsible for so many children's deaths.
This is the movies that made me cry so far Schindler's list Grave of the fireflies The green mile My girl Hachi Me before you The boy in the striped pajamas A walk to remember Miracle in cell no.7 Pursuit of happyness
American History X...one of the most devastating and heartbreaking endings in cinematic history. I wouldn't necessarily put Pan's Labyrinth up there, as it had its feel good moment at the end, but a sad ending nonetheless.
Agreed i love the MCU and i guess i could agree with the end of Endgame. Two MCU movies on this list is just plain ridiculous though. There are thousands of movies with much more crushing and sadder endings. Especially sadder then the end of Captain America
@@puckisland8247 When groot is fading away from the snap, he slowly says "groooot" and Rocket says "Groot? Oh no no" it was confirmed by the Russos, Groots last words, were "Dad...?" :(
@@billythekeg yeah sure keep telling yourself that. In all departments (writing, cinematography, choreography, acting etc) superhero movies are mostly better than most movies made at the time. Sure there are always better ones but characters, continuity etc is great in these. Also to fully appreciate them you have to see all of them and be a real fan. But everyone has their own opinions
The Green Mile, Schindler's List, Saving Private Ryan, I could name ten movies that belong on a 'Saddest Endings' list. You got 'The Wrestler' but other than that, nothing. A waste of eleven and a half minutes.
I wouldn't say Schindler's List has a sad ending. It's definitely a tear-jerker, though. And it is powerfully meaningful. But I think the ending was supposed to portray hope and honor--not sadness.
The Green Mile? Saving Private Ryan? The Boy In The Striped Pajamas? Schindler's List? The Guardian? Logan? Gladiator? American History X? Leon The Professional?
and...BTW , The Boy In the Striped Pajamas " was one of the most gut wrenching, tragic endings of any movie I have ever watched...but that is precisely why it was as good of a movie as it was.
I took my daughter to see this at 10. From the ads it looked like a kid movie. I spent the next 2 hours comforting my daughter. Sadly, at 17 her best friend since she was 3 was killed by a drunk driver. She reminded me of when I took her to see Bridge to Terabithia and told me she had been afraid of losing someone she loved ever since.
I agree! I first saw the movie while in my 50’s...not knowing the story. The death was so shocking and disturbing I won’t watch it when it’s on TV! 🤬🤬🤬🤬
@@21pilotstillidie58 have you ever read comics,, i m aged 33 i have seen these marvel stories way before you were born.. do know about death? do u know about sentry? hyperion, Kang, do u even know what is marvel is all about.?
@@dhirajdutta4409 lol yes i know the character you listed. Also i think you meant to say " I'm 33 years old" not " I'm aged 33 years". You should chill out and stop acting like you're a thousand years old and have seen everything. You're 33 not even close to old enough to act like you know everything😅😅😅😅
Daphne Canales me too! well i rarely cry in movies except the green mile, i can never take the handshake between tom and micheal got that dog movie i watched once and never again. i just love dogs too much, that's why i did not like i am legend.. the dog days and willhelm schmit lives...
Captain Phillips, when the medic is checking him out and he can't really understand her the first time she asks a question, and he can't really talk, then he just breaks down. Tom Hanks is just a phenomenal actor.
No one ever talks about (Out of the furnace). Great Movie... Tough ending. Great soundtrack. *** and I think I am the only person on the planet who just saw Green mile for the first time last week.
I remember reading once that The Wrestler and Black Swan were meant to be connected movies as they both tell the same tale and share similar tragedies. Both take you on this roller coaster of emotions that ends with a lot of questions....truly classics.
Dancer in the Dark. Into the Wild. Brokeback Mountain. Sophie's Choice. Atonement. Deer Hunter. The Green Mile. There's more - I just can't remember them at the moment.
I was just about to mention Dancer in the Dark, but then I saw your comment. My roommates and I watched it twice, back to back, when it first came out on dvd. I haven't been able to bring myself to watch it again. It's just too sad, and I remember it being such a "perfect" movie, and I don't want to tarnish that. One day though, I'll see it again. That said, I've listened to the soundtrack more times than I can count. Her duet with Thom Yorke, blows me away every time I hear it.
Sure cap wasn't that sad but departed wasn't either. It was a karma boner ending if anything. Unfortunately I am legend theatrical ending was not either
captain america was not even sad. the character came back and everything was fine. the movie ends with an avengers trailer where he is part of the team. that ending does not deserve to be here.
I'm done with dog's movies. Hachiko and Marley and I must have been the times I cried the hardest in my life. I don't even have to watch the movies again. Just the memories are enough to completely wreck me...😢
I've seen Hachiko twice. Never again. Yes, I am drunk as I write this (thank god for spellcorrect) but never will I watch that movie again. And yes, I shouted this title at every entry that didn't include this movie
@@scotianslim7631 Braveheart's ending really isn't all that sad though. Sure, Wallace is gruesomely killed, but his defiant cries of freedom ring out loud enough for Longshanks to know he didn't break his enemy. Then the Scotts fight for and win their independence and Wallace is reunited with his love in the afterlife.
Terminator 2 is one of my all time favorite movies, but c'mon. Captain America? All of these were infinitely sadder: Life is Beautiful Pan's Labyrinth Atonement The Bridge to Terabithia. Marley and Me 3:10 To Yuma A Star is Born The Boy in the Striped Pajamas Sophie's Choice The Mist About Schmidt Butterfly Effect (the alternate ending) My Girl A.I. 7 Pounds
I watched almost the whole thing by myself after my BF fell asleep. I had no idea the ending was going to be like that I balled my eyes out and was so upset lol
GREEN MILE. The whole film , not just the ending always draws tears of joy , awe and sadness. THE GREEN MILE is perhaps the most emotionally potent and provocative film for an empath to watch. It is so true to the book. King is a master of character development and knows exactly what nerves to poke . The deep sadness in the end also (as a side note) evokes feelings of happiness from the perspective of carrying out an act of kindness, resulting in bittersweet tears . This film is basically a ‘never ending story’ type of experience. Everything emotional in this film is so Palpable and it feels like you have been sucked into the film. Whatever they did in the making of this film resulted in making film nothing short of a masterpiece . The film creators and King basically make the whole story a ‘being jolted by John Coffey’ (the entire time) experience, leaving the viewer so drained from the emotional roller coaster.

Oooooh precisely
Its probs cause its been mentioned so much before

“He was my brother” You will cry.
Everytime 😭
1. Old Yeller shot (Old Yeller)
2. Billy Flynn dies (The Champ)
3. Wolverine dies (Logan)
4. Jenny's death (Forrest Gump)
5 Rocky's last hurrah (Rocky Balboa)
gregvette0404 i believe he was a zombie at the end of the film and that’s why he was shot
Dont forget Marley and Me, I Am Legend, The Green Mile, and The Christmas Shoes. Those movies hit right in the feels
B33ZL3BOSS 666 i am legend is unbearable cause of the dogs death, green mile hits my spot even though i watched it over a dozen times
BadFlounder well when bubba dies ... holy smokes...
wolverine was a touching movie. he could survive an atomic bomb, but gets killed by a tree branch
Seriously? Infinity War and Captain America made it onto this list? What a joke
Totally with you on this...
They're both really sad situations that I doubt anyone would question if they weren't in the MCU. A young boy dies trying his hardest to make a difference in the world because he feels that if you have the ability to do something and you don't then the bad things are your fault. His mentor watches the life leave his eyes and the boy even apologizes in his last moments. That's heavy shit. Then with cap he wakes up to find that 99% of all the people he had ever known and loved are dead and the world he lived in is unrecognizable now
I thought the end of Catpain America was extremely sad.
BurningEagle yeah they're sad endings but to put them on the list of saddest endings in movie history???? There are thousands of movies with way sadder endings than any movie in the MCU
@@mamobee true that
I'm a bit disappointed that Requiem For A Dream wasn't on here. Such a damn good movie.
A movie I cant watch twice
Too busy putting marvel movies on here. Terrible list
Jon Confalone Yeah once was enough. Brilliant movie but so damn depressing.
"Somewhere in Time" and "Last of the Mohicans" always has me bawling my eyes out even after the credits have finished.
I saw Somewhere in Time when I was a kid. I thought Superman died
Watch East of Eden.
The boy in the striped pajamas is the saddest I'm sorry
100% agree. My mom and I are pretty good at “reading” movies and started crying 5 mins before the end.
Definitely a sad and horrific movie and ending. However it also left me with a feeling that justice was done. The German boy's father was, after all, responsible for so many children's deaths.
@@rhyal2070 completely same
Y'all ever heard of "The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas"?
Eirakii omg that movie is hella sad
Eirakii the comedy?
OD Brazy what a horrible person you are.
What about the book thief? A similar thing just far far worse. All the main characters die at the end except for one
Eirakii well it was a book first...
probably the most horrible list on this channel
That's saying something
Rohan Bhowmick
Undyne: Fricking sissy.
This is the movies that made me cry so far
Schindler's list
Grave of the fireflies
The green mile
My girl
Hachi
Me before you
The boy in the striped pajamas
A walk to remember
Miracle in cell no.7
Pursuit of happyness
Forrest gump, that scene that he's talking by the grave is almost at the end, right?
dancing in the dark
Grave of fire flies got me
for me its THE MIST, END OF WATCH, TUSK, THE GREEN MILE, THE ROAD, LEON: THE PROFESSIONAL (directors cut) EDWARD SCISSORHANDS.
A walk to remember is a terrible movie in any given genre
American History X
District 9
Pan’s Labyrinth
Grave of the Fireflies
Saving Private Ryan
American History X...one of the most devastating and heartbreaking endings in cinematic history. I wouldn't necessarily put Pan's Labyrinth up there, as it had its feel good moment at the end, but a sad ending nonetheless.
The Boy in the Striped Pajamas!
Yo maybe im the only one that can’t watch Gran Torino’s endings without crying
Seth from the fly? That made me depressed
definitely district 9
When they actually put captain America and infinity war as two of the saddest endings 🤦♂️
Agreed i love the MCU and i guess i could agree with the end of Endgame. Two MCU movies on this list is just plain ridiculous though. There are thousands of movies with much more crushing and sadder endings. Especially sadder then the end of Captain America
Endgame ending was sad but cmon where tf was Logans ending
Nate Kean captain America was sad he never got his dance.
@@21pilotstillidie58 I agree!
@@cameronhansell7323 haven't you watched endgame?
But Groot, saying " Dad " that Killed me!! Noooooo
It killed everyone. Especially Marvel fan boys. Me included. It's such a subtle move by the directors, but such a low blow.
Im confused, when did he say that?
@@puckisland8247 When groot is fading away from the snap, he slowly says "groooot" and Rocket says "Groot? Oh no no" it was confirmed by the Russos, Groots last words, were "Dad...?" :(
@@puckisland8247 James Gunn confirmed after the release of Infinity War that the final "I am Groot" to Rocket meant "dad?".
@@seanmacy8419 thanks
Non of these endings where so sad they made me cry.
The Green Mile or Gladiator can do that.
High 5 🙏
Braveheart too
Gladiator no doubt!!!
As soon as I saw Infinity war in there I knew this video was a joke lol
@Official Mashu Beacuse Infinity War is not a sad movie.
@Official Mashu The Gamora dieing scene made me feel emotional but that was it, nothing tear jerking.
@@billythekeg yeah sure keep telling yourself that. In all departments (writing, cinematography, choreography, acting etc) superhero movies are mostly better than most movies made at the time. Sure there are always better ones but characters, continuity etc is great in these. Also to fully appreciate them you have to see all of them and be a real fan. But everyone has their own opinions
Yep but mine was at 1:56.
End game tho, there is a superhero movie ending of another level
End of watch. Most underrated movie of all time
underrated not really the right word, underwatched is...cause everyone that has seen it fucking loves it
Indeed... since the director was the screenwriter for training day
no it's actually Cinema Paradiso it's been forgotten despite being the best foreign film ever fucking made
I just watched it today. Im reeling at how Damn good it was.
I loved it, 😔
There is a movie called Leon The Professional and its one of my favorite movies but its got a pretty sad ending
Agree. Love that movie too.
Yeah she lost her whole family than lost Leon to
Sad...but not as an emotion. More so for the principle of sacrifice and heroics...
Yes!!! I am still sad about the ending. Love that movie
Somewhere in Time, a 1980 movie with Christopher Reeve and Jane Seymour. The most heartbreaking ending to any movie I've ever seen.
The Green Mile, Schindler's List, Saving Private Ryan, I could name ten movies that belong on a 'Saddest Endings' list. You got 'The Wrestler' but other than that, nothing. A waste of eleven and a half minutes.
Schindlers list no: He had his catharrsis
I wouldn't say Schindler's List has a sad ending. It's definitely a tear-jerker, though. And it is powerfully meaningful. But I think the ending was supposed to portray hope and honor--not sadness.
Dude your right this list is horrible, also why is forest gimp not on the list, but I don’t expect much from mojo anyway
The Green Mile? Saving Private Ryan? The Boy In The Striped Pajamas? Schindler's List? The Guardian? Logan? Gladiator? American History X? Leon The Professional?
Glory rightfully belonged here too, smh.
“Live as a monster, or die as a good man?” Is like “Either you die a hero, or live long enough you become a villain”
No it’s not
You either die a hero or you live long enough to see yourself become the villan and no its not
They mean something completely separate haha
Yall remember “The Iron Giant”
That ending made me cry
That's my favorite cartoon!!
"You stay, I go"
😭😭
But he comes back to life though.
"Superman."
and...BTW , The Boy In the Striped Pajamas " was one of the most gut wrenching, tragic endings of any movie I have ever watched...but that is precisely why it was as good of a movie as it was.
I guess I was the only one who cried after watching Logan
oh, trust me, there were tears.
Yes You were the only one in the whole world. You're so unique. A moi he watched by millions, but only YOU cried.
Cuz we already had Last of Us, so it wasnt gonna affect us all haha
I did too and I kinda never cry. In movie for like 10 year
Hell yeah!
Requiem for a dream should be here
Word....so crazy and good
True, but more than half of the movie was already sadder than it's ending...
YES!!!!!!!!!!
Most of that movie was traumatizing.
Sevens pounds: Ben committing suicide then donating his heart to the girl he loves to save his life
Danat with a big D that tortured my brain for a month
Rosario looking at the donated eyes brought a tear to my eye
Seven pounds had me crying for hours
The saddest movie ending of all time to me would be “ The boy in the striped pajamas”
Leslie death in Bridge to terabithia should’ve made this list.
Yes
I took my daughter to see this at 10. From the ads it looked like a kid movie. I spent the next 2 hours comforting my daughter.
Sadly, at 17 her best friend since she was 3 was killed by a drunk driver. She reminded me of when I took her to see Bridge to Terabithia and told me she had been afraid of losing someone she loved ever since.
I agree! I first saw the movie while in my 50’s...not knowing the story. The death was so shocking and disturbing I won’t watch it when it’s on TV! 🤬🤬🤬🤬
Yes. I cryed my self too sleep for weeks
I haven't seen the movie, but the book kind of gut punched me as a kid...
THE MIST? That was the saddest most intense ending of all time!
They tried too hard to make it sad and people rejected it
fr
Million Dollar Baby?
Deer Hunter
Buried
The Mist
American History X
@@einarlonn678 the mist was more of a dark ending rather than sad ending.
Meh
Dude I was just about to comment that
Attonment last scenes is also very heartbreaking. I cried after watching this
Boy in the Striped Pajamas
OMG...u had to go there, that ending was just brutal
I’ve actively avoided that movie because I know how it ends
Marc G not even sad
Funny but not sad
BIGGEST OOF IN A WHILE
Fusion Banks bruh wtf are you talking about? Literally nothing about that movie is funny.
End of Watch is such an underrated movie
The boy in the stripped pajamas made me cry sooooo hard, THAT is one of the saddest movie endings ever!
Glory was an incredible movie but the actual history is just as amazing
im sorry, but i laughed when i saw i dont feel so good pop up on screen
internetcrocs agreed
Same
I was heated
you weren't the only one
@@MCBoult nope, I can confirm he wasnt
I don’t feel so good wasn’t sad at all. We all know they’re coming back since it’s marvel.
I would argue it was sad regardless of sequels. The acting was top notch and made it very emotional. It doesn't belong on this list though
@@21pilotstillidie58 have you ever read comics,, i m aged 33 i have seen these marvel stories way before you were born.. do know about death? do u know about sentry? hyperion, Kang, do u even know what is marvel is all about.?
@@dhirajdutta4409 lol yes i know the character you listed. Also i think you meant to say " I'm 33 years old" not " I'm aged 33 years". You should chill out and stop acting like you're a thousand years old and have seen everything. You're 33 not even close to old enough to act like you know everything😅😅😅😅
When groot died he said dad in infinitey war
As if you didn't cry
Why...
Toy Story 3
Hachiko A dog Story
Saving Private Ryan
...Isn't in the list, they have sad endings too
MarvelFox Morty I cried during the whole Hachi movie
Logan was pretty sad too 😢
Daphne Canales me too! well i rarely cry in movies except the green mile, i can never take the handshake between tom and micheal got that dog movie i watched once and never again. i just love dogs too much, that's why i did not like i am legend.. the dog days and willhelm schmit lives...
I cried hard watching Toy Story 3. My heart
Hachi is the only movie to make me cry, rivers were filled when Hachi died and his owners spirit greeted him.
Captain Phillips, when the medic is checking him out and he can't really understand her the first time she asks a question, and he can't really talk, then he just breaks down. Tom Hanks is just a phenomenal actor.
Honorable mentions
The green mile
Fruitvale station
Titanic
Ghost
Lala Land
Dead Presidents
No one ever talks about (Out of the furnace). Great Movie... Tough ending. Great soundtrack. *** and I think I am the only person on the planet who just saw Green mile for the first time last week.
The champ should be on this list
I've heard people call LaLaLand a "feel good" movie. I disagree, it's so bitter sweet.
Definitely Fruitvale Station belongs on this list because it actually happened. Thank you for mentioning it.
Powder
In movie history? This is a pretty lame list.
realeoinarmstrong where’s The Mist?
@@austinkruse7610 Where's Seeking a friend for the end of the world?
Well not everyone is a dinosaur
Ok captin America has sad ending LOL
Incredibly lame.
When Katsumoto dies in the Last Samurai. Gets me everytime
Agreed.
I remember reading once that The Wrestler and Black Swan were meant to be connected movies as they both tell the same tale and share similar tragedies. Both take you on this roller coaster of emotions that ends with a lot of questions....truly classics.
Dancer in the Dark. Into the Wild. Brokeback Mountain. Sophie's Choice. Atonement. Deer Hunter. The Green Mile. There's more - I just can't remember them at the moment.
The Deer Hunter’s ending left me so shocked that I couldn’t even cry. Just a sad turn that contradicted movie logic(happy endings)
Dancer in the Dark was absolutely devastating.
Dancer in the Dark was just amazing and awful. The most ripped open I've ever been from a film.
into the wild was tragic
I was just about to mention Dancer in the Dark, but then I saw your comment. My roommates and I watched it twice, back to back, when it first came out on dvd. I haven't been able to bring myself to watch it again. It's just too sad, and I remember it being such a "perfect" movie, and I don't want to tarnish that. One day though, I'll see it again. That said, I've listened to the soundtrack more times than I can count. Her duet with Thom Yorke, blows me away every time I hear it.
End of Watch ending absolutely killed me. I still tear up thinking about that scene.
Where is The Departed? The Green Mile? I Am Legend?
All way sadder than Captain America
Sure cap wasn't that sad but departed wasn't either. It was a karma boner ending if anything. Unfortunately I am legend theatrical ending was not either
captain america was not even sad. the character came back and everything was fine. the movie ends with an avengers trailer where he is part of the team. that ending does not deserve to be here.
@@koseorhun True I am legend's ending was idiotic
Departed's ending wasn't sad, it was shocking and ultimately satisfying as hell. I Am Legend had a hopeful ending, not a sad one.
ooooohh i get heated every time i watch the departed
I couldn’t even speak for a full hour after seeing Saving Private Ryan the first time.
i cried so hard in the end of hachiko... must see movie
I just saw that not too long ago. I knew it was gunna be a sad movie but I watched it anyways...
I'm done with dog's movies. Hachiko and Marley and I must have been the times I cried the hardest in my life. I don't even have to watch the movies again. Just the memories are enough to completely wreck me...😢
I've seen Hachiko twice. Never again. Yes, I am drunk as I write this (thank god for spellcorrect) but never will I watch that movie again. And yes, I shouted this title at every entry that didn't include this movie
I have not watched Hachiko yet, but I do know the story. That's enough to make me cry, without having watched the movie.
If it wasn't for the end with the boy walking down the road with a new puppy with the same name it would have been a perfect movie
Schindler's list, the boy in the striped Pyjama, blood Diamond
how is blood diamond not a happy ending
Man on Fire, Léon: The Professional, Star is Born, Braveheart
Braveheart on my list too
@@scotianslim7631 Braveheart's ending really isn't all that sad though. Sure, Wallace is gruesomely killed, but his defiant cries of freedom ring out loud enough for Longshanks to know he didn't break his enemy. Then the Scotts fight for and win their independence and Wallace is reunited with his love in the afterlife.
The Perfect Storm
All Dogs Go To Heaven
Titanic (old and new)
Leon the professional killed me
"I had a date." Damn I would have cried
Terminator 2 is one of my all time favorite movies, but c'mon. Captain America? All of these were infinitely sadder:
Life is Beautiful
Pan's Labyrinth
Atonement
The Bridge to Terabithia.
Marley and Me
3:10 To Yuma
A Star is Born
The Boy in the Striped Pajamas
Sophie's Choice
The Mist
About Schmidt
Butterfly Effect (the alternate ending)
My Girl
A.I.
7 Pounds
JMMurray203 + Green Mile
Pan's Labyrinth is one of the best movies ever made. The ending always gets me. 😢
Also candy
No "Gladiator"? HOW DARE YOU!
It was sad. But, he got to be back with his wife and son which he wanted.
I was looking for someone to mention that movie. Realistic movies always hit harder than these tacky superhero movies do.
I know.....
So unfair :/
@@c.shoefish That was a hallucination. He died in the Arena bro ...
Saving private ryan? When the old man walks to their graves saying he has tried to live his live to the fullest to honour their sacrfice?
Oh man seen that movie at least 10 times and I cry like a baby each time throughout numerous moments in the film. :-(
@@nathanwilliams4005 i have seen it so many times in history clasees throughout my years.
I just watched it yesterday, I cried.
I watched that yesterday. Crying before the movie really started. ☹️
That last scene is emotionally too powerful... I get goosebumps everytime I watch this movie.
“I know who you are” - The Machinist. Finding out why he has insomnia is such a tear jerker and an excellent performance from Bale
Hello??!! Million Dollar Baby doesn't even get an honorable freaking mention?? Dude, that's just wrong.
Yeah....
I cried...it was really sad
The mist as well.
I watched almost the whole thing by myself after my BF fell asleep. I had no idea the ending was going to be like that I balled my eyes out and was so upset lol
I think they only wanted to mention good movies
“Glory” was an amazing movie. An all-star cast ❤️
GB Biddy I was lucky enough that I got to spend a whole school day watching it in class.
Cian Chatten same 👍
I will admit the end of _Captain America_ felt like a gut-punch... Evans delivered that last line perfectly.
Love End of Watch. What a simple film. So engrossing and then BAM! You felt every emotion. One of Jake Gyllenhaal’s best performances!
When Taylor got shot and zapata said" God loves cops":((( that snit had had me. This and brothers where some of the best movies from jake.
Seriously, The Green Mile didnt make the list
I think Infinity War's ending was more shocking than sad. Because we all know they're coming back, with future movies to boot.
John Coffey - The Green Mile
Jack - Jack (The Robin Williams movie)
V - V For Vendetta
Maximus Decimus Meridius - Gladiator
GREEN MILE. The whole film , not just the ending always draws tears of joy , awe and sadness. THE GREEN MILE is perhaps the most emotionally potent and provocative film for an empath to watch. It is so true to the book. King is a master of character development and knows exactly what nerves to poke . The deep sadness in the end also (as a side note) evokes feelings of happiness from the perspective of carrying out an act of kindness, resulting in bittersweet tears . This film is basically a ‘never ending story’ type of experience. Everything emotional in this film is so Palpable and it feels like you have been sucked into the film. Whatever they did in the making of this film resulted in making film nothing short of a masterpiece . The film creators and King basically make the whole story a ‘being jolted by John Coffey’ (the entire time) experience, leaving the viewer so drained from the emotional roller coaster.
8:57 arnold schwartzen- WHAT
Grave of the Fireflies will always be the saddest movie I've ever watched.
King Kong getting shot, and his heartbeat slowing, then..
The saddest to me was "Old Yeller"
Tommy Kirk takes the shot.
The dog that gets rabies? Wow I haven’t seen that for like 20 years
“Old yeller, come back yeller”
@@IamBATMAN2024 Yeah! He sacrificed his life to save Travis, the little brother from the rabid wolf. Makes me cry like a baby!
