Another ending that got me going was the ending of Cool Runnings where the Jamaican bobsled team become the heroes of the Winter Olympics despite coming in last.

German competitor: "You done good Jamaica: we'll see you in four years, yah?"
Derice: "Yeah, mon!"  :teddyr:

That is what the Olympics is all about.  :thumbup:

Ah yes, the hard-won respect of the most skeptical rival. Can't remember if there was a slow clap involved. :teddyr:


There was indeed: later becoming loud sustained applause: great ending.  It was also sad that CR was one of the late great John Candy's last movies.
We shall meet in the place where there is no darkness.

Big Fish made me weep like somebody I loved had just died.

The ending of Billy Jack teared me up a little, with all the kids saluting Billy as the cops drove him off. It didn't help me at all seeing Barbara (I think it's her but I'm unsure) cry as well.  :bluesad:

Strangely, the final moments of A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors made me bawl, especially Patricia Arquette hugging Heather Langenkamp, sobbing and saying "Don't die, I'll dream you into a beautiful dream..."  :bluesad:

The South African film Ipi Tombi with its' heart tugging (for me anyway) final aerial shot of the glorious Victoria Falls in full flow, sun glinting on the water and a lovely rainbow in the sky made me blub for home. Add to that the choir singing over that shot and I was on the floor, sobbing.   :bluesad:

Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie was kinda sad at the end.

Not necessarily a 'sad' cry, but more like, cries of cheers cause the heroes won, etc, and the playing of Van Halen's song "Dreams". 
"The path to Heaven runs through miles of clouded Hell."

Don't get too close, it's dark inside.
It's where my demons hide, it's where my demons hide.

I don't know if I've mentioned this one but the last ten minutes of the TV movie To Heal A Nation based on the Jan Scruggs book absolutely wipe me out. From the time where a stone worker finds her brother's name on the panel that she's cleaning to the final scenes where veterans meet up at the Wall's opening: wow.....   :bluesad: :bluesad:
We shall meet in the place where there is no darkness.

Class Action-This Gene Hackman courtroom drama is not an amazing film but god did it make me cry multiple times. 
Causalities of War-Some ppl dislike the ending to this one but it worked for me. At the same time hopeful and depressing.
The Shawshank Redemption-Just a perfect ending to a perfect movie.
Terminator 2-Haha haven't seen this in a while but when I was younger I remember always getting teary at this finale.

     THe ending of THE LAST SAMURAI, which was also the only movie I could stand Tom Cruise in.
If it's true what they say, that GOD created us in His image, then why should we not love creating, and why should we not continue to do so, as carefully and ethically as we can, on whatever scale we're capable of?

     The choice is simple; refuse to create, and refuse to grow, or build, with care and love.

     I got verclempt at STAR TREK !V: THE VOYAGE HOME, when Kirk gets busted back to Captain, and gets his ship back.

Ok...yer thinking-"quit joking,Ronny."
I aint joking.
I actually teared up seeing her in the back of the truck laughing like a maniac.
She gotta way. She got away.

Tina and me watched it-cuz she aint never seen it.
She was yelling "RUN! RUN!RUN!OH MY GOD HE'S SO CLOSE" through a good part of the film.
She was actually cheering when Maryilyn Burns found the truck drivers-(she wondered-which I always did-"Where did the semi driver go?"-I love watching horror films with greenhorns! Like logic comes first,or something!  :twirl:) And at the end she teared up-made me tear up.
Supernatural?...perhaps. Baloney?...Perhaps not!" Bela Lugosi-the BLACK CAT (1934)

I cried in the scene where Kirk and company crash, release the whales and the whales save the earth and swim away. I really blubbed there and still do ~ despite a smile at Mr Nimoy breaking character and grinning like a loonie when he lands in the water.  :teddyr:

The ending [My friends: we've come home] also got me good.

The end of SAVING PRIVATE RYAN always has me blubbering like a baby.  Especially when the older Ryan turns to his wife and says "Tell me I've been a good man."
"I shall smite you in the nostrils with a rod of iron, and wax your spleen with Efferdent!!"

The ending of Blade Runner has made my throat tighten up and my eyes sting.  It isn't so much the words themselves, which are awkward (although the originally scripted soliloquy is worse).  It's the sudden reversal of it all... the show of humanity in death, and in the delivery of it.

"I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched c-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain."  (time to die.)

I haven't seen that film in so many years.

     Exactly- not just the characters, but the franchise came home.
