Pan's Labyrinth: The ending.
Armageddon: Harry's sacrifice.
The Dark Knight Rises: Batman's sacrifice.
Up: the opening.
Toy Story 3: the ending.

Terminator 2: T-800 saying goodbye and sacrificing himself making John sad, i was 10 when i saw the movie in theaters and found it touching.

Snow White: I saw this in 87 in it's re-issue and when the Dwarfs thought Snow White died.
Dobey's death in Harry Potter 7.
The Transformers The Movie: Optimus's death, it did it for me when i was 5 seeing it in theaters.
Star Trek II: Death of Spock.

Bambi, the first Littlefoot movie and Grave of the Fireflies comes to mind. I'm sure there is more.

Two Brothers: The one with the two tiger cubs. I found myself crying multiple times when it came out. It might be because tigers have always been one of my favorite animals, but some of things each cub went through just made it easy for me to cry whether it was a sad or happy moment.

Toy Story 3: That ending man. Nuff' said.

Kung-Fu Panda 2: Yeah, to this day I can't believe a DreamWorks movie made me cry. A company that put a big focus on humor with it's animated movies for the longest time, actually dialed it back for the sake of telling a good story and making me care about it's characters and the situations they were in.
Spoiler:
Seeing that vision where Po's mom puts him in the basket and comforts him one last time before she flees and eventual demise at the wolves just gets to me every time.


And oddly enough, I'm one of those kids who grew up on mostly Disney, but never found myself crying over Bambi's mom, Mufasa, or Dumbo being with his mom. They were each sad, sure, but for whatever reason, I never got too emotional over them.

I recently had a look at this one, since I happen to be dealing with the possibility of losing contact with someone. The scenes that saddened me the most were the scenes with Lila. When she'd cry, I'd cry, and I always wanted to hug her.

In Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, I cried at the scene where Harry returns from the maze with a dead Cedric.

I also cried watching Peter Pan during Wendy's mother song.

Last but not least, was Gigli. It really was that bad a movie.
(Just kidding, I never saw Gigli.)

I don't think I've ever really actually cried from a movie but man Toy Story 3 is one of the saddest things I've ever seen in my life. My little boy went through a phase of wanting to watch it constantly and I told my wife that he wish he would have became obsessed with something much less sad. LOL. Grave of the Fireflies is probably the ACTUAL saddest movie ever made since it was actually based on a true story. It's just one of the greatest movies of all time that EVERYone should watch. I actually watched it on youtube.

The Sesame Street movie Follow that Bird.

As a kid it was because of this:

and now as an adult, it's because of the very end of Big Bird's letter back to Sesame Street talking about his new bird family: "I should be happy here...what's wrong with me?"

What movies made me cry? Name a Disney or Don Bluth film, most of the DreamWorks animation, and you've pretty much got it. Also I tend to cry at some live-action films, especially any movie about animals of any kind. Hidalgo, Secretariat, War Horse, Where the Red Fern Grows, Old Yeller, Incredible Journey, Black Beauty, and Seabiscuit all come to mind. Yeah, I'm a sucker for an emotional flick, especially if it involves animals, kids, or a love story.... (I even cried during a couple of scenes in Independence Day, if that tells you anything!) Big death scenes always get me, too.

The very end of "Donnie Darko". While it didn't make me cry
Spoiler:
Donnie sacrificing his life for Gretchen and accepting death with a laugh did make me very sad. And, to top it all off, when things go back in time Gretchen passes by his house, talks to a neighbor boy AND SHE DIDNT EVEN MEET DONNIE. Having " Mad World" at the end while it pans over all of the characters did NOT help.

Toy Story.
Toy Story 2.
Toy Story 3.

Those films are a huge chunk of my childhood. Toy Story was my favorite movie of all time as a kid, the Toy Story 2 came along, loved it, and then of course, Toy Story 3...which was AMAZING. I really just cry whenever I see any of these because they remind me of my toys as a kid, and how bad I felt if one broke and had to be thrown out or something, or if I lost it or anything like that.

"When somebody loved me" from TS2 made me cry my eyes out all the time as I kid (still cry a little to this day ) because just the thought of how these toys feel to be abandoned by their owners who once loved them...it's just...and the kids don't even know they're causing them this pain, and...I just can't. The thought of the toys that I had outgrown feeling the same made me a little sick and sad inside (I know toys can't really come to life, I'm not stupid but as a kid I'm pretty sure we all did after seeing Toy Story).

TS3 makes me cry for quite obvious reasons. I don't think I even need to explain. One part that makes me sick in that movie though, is when the toddlers are mistreating the toys, throwing them around, coloring on them, licking them, crashing them into each other, glueing things to them...UGH. Since I'm a huge toy collector with TMNT and such, this part made me cringe...bad. Not only did I feel bad for the toys condition (BULLSEYE AND JESSIE ARE VALUABLE COLLECTOR'S ITEMS ) but for the characters themselves.

This is probably going to sound REALLY stupid...but I don't care, I'm gonna say it anyway. As a collector I sometimes think about the whole "toys coming alive when you're not there". Do my TMNT figures complain about not getting played with? Do they enjoy being collectables and would freak out if someone started playing with them? I know they're not real, obviously, but I've seen the three films so many times that it's something I think about often.

I hope I didn't sound too stupid in this...it's just that Toy Story as a series is very, very special and important to me. As a kid the first two were my favorite movies to watch, and the third is one of my favorite movies of all time. There's a lot of memories I have about this movie...I'll never forget the Christmas where my parents got me a Buzz figure and Woody doll that were in scale to how they were compared to humans in the movie Pretty sure I still have those somewhere!

Oh yes that scene is sad.


Remember this classic Casper cartoon? i was 5 years old watching it on USA Cartoon Express and i remembered i cried at
Spoiler:
Ferdie's death
, still does move me.

Hey Jester since you said Blue Bird of Happiness made you cry, do you think it rivals this other Henson tearjerker scene?

I feel EXACTLY the same way about my toys. I tell people that Toy Story 3 gets to collectors more because we have such an emotional attachment to our figures. I also used to think that my toys played with each other while I was sleeping and things like that. I was just telling someone that yesterday and they thought I was a moron but how can a young kid be a moron? I want my little boy to have a wild imagination. I feel like wild imaginations have been what ultimately helped to make the world a better place.

I was much younger when I saw Follow that Bird, so that might be why that makes me well up.
