Given what the movie is about, you can expect that there was alot of these. In fact, for a while, the film surpassed ''[[Bambi (Disney)|Bambi]]'' as a pun for "films people cried at" (which was probably spurred on by having that reputation starting two days into wide release).

* Jack's death. He noticed Rose when she was at her most vulnerable (trying to kill herself) and was willing to listen and care about how she felt when no one else would. Just the thought that someone you need most comes into your life and just as quickly leaves it, yet they became so important to you and left such a lasting impression that you have changed for the better and will never forget them is a sad enough concept. This is not helped by the fact that Jack is one of the kindest, noblest and good-natured characters in the movie.
* The woman putting her children to bed and talking to them about heaven. Aw ''Gawd''.
Line 43:
* The pained looked in Bruce Ismay's eyes when he looks back at the Titanic sinking. He was a coward for running, but I felt for the guy.
* The quiet dignity that Thomas Andrews (the shipbuilder) retains as his masterpiece, the ''Titanic'', sinks.

** For this Troper, it's the way he resets the lounge mantelpiece clock to the proper time before it goes under. It's like he knows it's the only thing he can do now...
** What makes it even sadder is that, from historical accounts, we know that Andrews ''really was'' that much of a nice guy, as well his final fate in the movie being based completely on eye witness accounts.
