Film endings that made you cry?

[Rev. Powell]

TOY STORY 3 is the only one I can think of at the moment.

I think we may have done a topic or two similar to this in the past. Most stuff doesn't really get to me today but the following have made me shed a few tears.

Old Yeller - if this doesn't move you, you haven't got an heart.

Godzilla, King of the Monsters - when the Oxygen Destroyer is released. So much sadness and sacrifice in those scenes.

King Kong - pretty much a given - the end on the Empire State Building.

Hollow Triumph - a film noir from 1948

And I might not have cried but the following also left me feeling very bleak (yet they remain some of my all time favourite films):

1984 (1984)
Blade Runner
12 Monkeys
Brazil
Soylent Green
Requiem For A Dream

the ending (more or less) of MRS DOUBTFIRE, when the kids suddenly realise "she's" their dad. I literally cannot watch this without crying

can't think of any others!

      I know this wasn't an ending, but it made me cry when I first saw it, and still want to cry now-

     I was three or four the first time I saw FRANKENSTEIN, the '31 Karloff version. I cried when Fritz was torturing the creature with the torch, and my mother thought it was because I was scared,and she wanted to send me to bed....
I was crying because he was being treated so mean, and he hadn't done anything.

     Also, the endings of....
the original KING KONG
MIGHTY JOE YOUNG
SON OF KONG
THE COSMIC MAN, when the alien makes the little boy able to walk again, after all they'd (we'd) done to him.

Did I mention that I also teared up at the end of ZOMBIELAND when Woody Harrelson finally got his Twinkie?

I never actually cried at the end of a movie, but there were a few that really depressed me. The ending of Deathdream was both creepy and very sad. Also, the ending of Threads was pretty devastating as well. Someone mentioned Requiem For A Dream, I agree with that one. The ending of The Deer Hunter was probably the closest thing that almost brought me to tears.

Labyrinth gets me. The David Bowie/Jennifer Connelly film directed by Jim Henson.

I've cried during movies, but not at the end.

However, I did cry at the end of the Futurama episode "Jurassic Bark."
