Line 74:
** Serge's death, as well as the picture his daughter drew for him...
* The excellent ''[[Crash (film)|Crash]]'', has a few of these moments but none jerk tears more than the scene in which {{spoiler|the locksmith's 5-year-old daughter, believing herself to be wearing an invincible armour cloak, runs in front of her daddy as he's being held up by an angry, disillusioned gunman. The handgun accidentally discharges just as the girl leaps up to hug the father. Cue horrific closeup of the father's face after he realises that he made his daughter think she was impervious to bullets}}. {{spoiler|''Crowning Moment of Heartwarming'' occurs when you realize the ammo in the pistol was craftily loaded by the gunman's daughter with blanks, knowing her father would get into a situation like this.}}
* ''Crossing'', a film about North Korean refugees. Its depiction of how people live in that country ''[http://english.chosun.com/w21data/html/news/200804/200804300013.html actually managed to get a theater crying.]'' It definitely succeeds in portraying Kim Jong-il as an [[
* {{spoiler|Li Mubai and Shu Lien's [[Last Kiss]], followed by Mubai's [[Famous Last Words]] and his death in Shu-Lien's arms}} in ''[[Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon]]''.
* ''[[Crow]]'' has a scene that gets me everytime. As Eric leaves Albrecht's apartment and Albrecht asks "Are you gonna disappear into thin air again?", Eric turns to him, the heartbreaking look on his face and says "I think I'll just use your front door." It told me that that he misses the simple pleasures of living.
Line 124:
** Later in the movie, the Jews are enduring a harsh winter out in the forest where they've made their home. With no food, everyone is slowly weakening and losing hope. So Daniel Craig leads his beautiful white horse out away from the camp, pats its snout one last time, and [[Shoot the Dog|shoots it]].
* The ending of ''De-Lovely'' when Cole and Linda Porter sing "In the Still of the Night" as the camera pulls back and they fade to black. I'm not usually the person to cry at the end of a movie.
* Unusually for a horror movie, ''most'' of the deaths are [[Tear Jerker
* ''Despicable Me'': when Gru reads the 'Three Little Kittens' book to the girls. Especially when he reaches the end of it.
* ''[[Dinner for Schmucks]]'', where Tim finds the pictures of the mouse dioramas of Barry and his ex-wife.
Line 206:
* {{spoiler|Sparrow's death}} in ''[[The Forbidden Kingdom]]''.
* ''[[Forrest Gump]]'':
{{quote|"Dear God, make me a bird so that I could fly far. Far, far away from here." [[Manly Tears|*sniff*
"I may not be smart, but I know what love is."<br />
"I really miss you, Jenny."<br />
Line 254:
** There's a few similar scenes in the sequel, ''Gettysburg'', in which the officers discuss those on the opposing side with whom they had previously served, some even being close friends, which are very moving.
** The river scene where Union and Confederate soldiers trade coffee and tobacco elicited this so subtly, words cannot describe it.
* The film version of ''[[Godspell]]'': As with the play, it ends the morning after the crucifixion of Christ as his disciples (some crying) carry him away, leading into a reprise of "Day By Day". They round a corner of a building, and the camera then rounds it as
* The end of ''[[Godzilla vs. Destoroyah]]'': {{spoiler|Godzilla dies a slow and painful death due to a nuclear meltdown}}. That and {{spoiler|when Godzilla mourns the death of his own son and cries in agony}}. It's perhaps the saddest [[Godzilla]] movie ever made.
** [[Two Words]]: "Goodbye, Yoshido." ({{spoiler|This is what Kiryu ([[Mecha Godzilla]]) says to one of the main characters right before sacrificing himself to save Japan from Godzilla at the end of Tokyo SOS.}})
