Castaway (2000): Chuck (Tom Hanks) say's goodbye for the second time to the love of his life Kelly (Helen Hunt) realising she has new commitments (she married someone else thinking he had died in the plane crash. She now has young children).

The Browning Version (1994): Albert Finney (Crocker-Harris) retirement speech.

The Lovely Bones (2009): Susie Salmon's father accepts his daughter is never coming back. (she was raped and murdered aged 13 by a neighbour). Brian Eno's music is heart-wrenchingly beautiful.

Black Adder Goes Forth (1989): Final scene where the soldiers go 'over-the-top' and it fades from the trenches to the poppy fields of Flanders.

To Kill a Mockingbird (1962): Atticus Finch (Gregory Peck) leaves the courtroom after defending Tom Robinson and the people in the public gallery stand up out of complete respect.

The Railway Children (1970): Bobbie (Jenny Agutter) greets her father after he spent many years in prison. The steam from the train clears on the railway station platform, she sees him and then shouts 'daddy........my daddy'.

Brief Encounter (1945): Laura (Celia Johnson) says goodbye to her lover Dr Alec Harvey (Trevor Howard) at the railway station and returns to the drudgery of married life and her husband. 'You've been a long way away', 'yes'. 'Thank you for coming back to me'.
Rachmaninov's Piano Concerto No2 and British stoicism at its best.

It isn't sad due to a death of a person, but the merits of it have its own qualities of sadness, and I speak of the end of Gone with the Wind, which Scarlet realises she loves Rhett, but who in turn does not love her, too fed up and far gone to be brought back to loving her again. A very tragic ending for a great love story.

In The Return of The King, when Faramir returns unconscious to Minas Tirith and his dad tries to burn him.He only wanted his dad to be proud of him like he was proud of Boromir so sacrifices himself to defend and support their garrison. I was crying by the end of the scene :')

I would also have to say this and I think someone already mentioned it but the bit in Dumbo when he goes to visit his mother. I always cry when it shows scenes of all the other animals with their babies and then it cuts back to him swinging on his mother's trunk :cry:

Mufasa's death for me.

Where Simba's begging him to wake up. And then he just lies under his paw crying, waiting for his dad to open his eyes. Trying to record in his memory the warmth of having his dad comforting him the same way when he was alive.

*sob*

I think Seven Pounds is the film I cry most at, that film actually ruined me. I was crying during it and then for about half an hour afterwards too. It was like there was a dementor in the room, I was so empty and sad.

Saying that I cry at the 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th and 8th Harry Potter films EVERYTIME.
GoF - when Amos says "That's my son, that's my boy" about Cedric.
OotP - When Sirius dies, of course, heart breaking as he's one of my favourite characters.
HBP - When Dumbledore dies.
DH1 - when Hedwig and Dobby die, especially Dobby.
DH2 - over everyone's death pretty much, except Bellatrix, though she's also one of my favourites. Also when Harry's at the Pensieve watching Snape's memories and he's talking about how Harry has to die (obviously I know it all ends well, but it still makes me sad).

To be fair, I cry at so many films that most people don't find sad.

The start of Saving Private Ryan where the soldiers land on the beaches on D-Day. Turned me off war for the rest of my life.

Oh I know! I just sit there bawling like a baby and my brother's like "Louise, it's not real" and through my tears I'm like "Leave me alone, it's real to me!" Oh, why am I such a loser :').
