Film endings that made you cry?

[Allhallowsday]

This here- the TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE (1974)
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!  ) And at the end she teared up-made me tear up.

There's really nothing to compare that film to.  Despite all the rip-offs, it's possibly negative influence, the naysayers, and dimwits, and it's relentless terror, TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE is a brilliant, beautiful, important film.

I actually got a little misty last time I watched Apollo 13. In particular, it was the monologue at the very end, when Lovell talks about still looking up at the moon and wondering when people will return, and who it will be.

Spock's funeral from Star Trek The Wrath Of Khan

"His was the most......human......"

Add to that William Shatner choking up as he said it and a close up of Kirstie Alley crying: that was not acting, that was real.  


From Star Trek 111 The Search For Spock:

"Jim...... your name is Jim......."   but also a   and a

I rarely cry, but I've known to be close to tears with some movie endings. "Saving Private Ryan" and the last "Star Trek" movie with Nimoy delivering the opening monologue from the series have already been mentioned, but one that always gets me is the ending of "Carlito's Way". Yes, the gangster fil starring Al Pacino. And I'm not the only one, I saw it last time with a friend and he started looking desperately for handkerchiefs while calling me all kind of names, because I was the one who had chosen the film. He's a very tough man, which added to the hilarity of the moment. Although he later admited to me that the ending of "Million Dollar Baby" had left him devastated.

Oh, and also the end of "Empire of the Sun". Seeing a young Christian Bale not being able to recognise his parents after everything he's gone trhough is just too much for me.

The ending of Local Hero with the telephone ringing in the call box and Mark Knopfler's Going Home playing on the soundtrack.  

[Leah]

The ending of The Iron Giant had some tears coming out. The Robot is the hero and dies a noble death.

[Trevor]

The ending of The Winners (South Africa: 1972) where the physically and emotionally exhausted Will Maddox is urged across the line by everyone in the stadium, all set to Frank Sinatra's My Way. Yowza.....  

[Trevor]

Oddly enough, the ending of Manhunter where Will Graham is reunited with his wife and child and the song Heartbeat plays on the soundtrack gets me every time. They've been through hell and survived and you think that Will had killed himself by the riverside, then: all is well.

     Not an ending, but the sequence in the original GODZILLA showing the devastation of Tokyo, with the children's choir over it.

Rewatched Warrior today, and wow this is one sentimental film! Despite being on the surface about fighting this is a film about family relationships and what happens when they are severed. There are at least 3 or 4 parts that get me teary but by the end its full on waterworks folks!

I've cried during movies, but not at the end.
However, I did cry at the end of the Futurama episode "Jurassic Bark."

Oh yeah, that's a great one.

a lot of people I know have cried at the end of "Jurassic Bark."

Yeah, that's pretty much the litmus test to determine whether someone has a soul or not.

I've never seen that episode so I googled it and yes, I would cry after seeing that ending. 

I came pretty close myself. I read some behind the scenes stuff on that, originally it was supposed to be his mother instead of the dog, but it was agreed (and rightfully so) that it would have been beyond depressing. Apparently they still got a lot of hate mail from people who cried over it, to the point that it was later retconned via time travel.

I just made the mistake of looking for that on Youtube; now I'm blubbing so much that I can barely type.

If I got the link wrong, blame me: I can barely see, let alone type.

I've seen Chinatown 4 times and the final scenes get me so worked up.  Makes me sad and angry...god, I love that movie.  I teared up when I watched Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind recently.  Hmm, what else...It's a Wonderful Life,  All Quiet on the Western Front, The Tree of Life (actually several minutes after the film had ended when I got in my car), The Land Before Time, um, I'm sure there are others.

The ending of Platoon with Charlie Sheen's voice over and the footage of him in the helicopter.
