Biggest Tearjerking Scenes in Television and Movies

Not sure if it's been mentioned yet, but when the kid is shot at the end of American History X gets me every damn time.
 
In "Warrior" during the final match with the two brothers where Tom Hardy's character is in an arm bar hold and his arm is about to snap in half. Joel Edgarton, his brother, is telling him to tap out because he doesn't want to cause him anymore pain but Hardy's character will not tap out. Until, through all the madness, Edgarton's character tells him that he loves him repeatedly.....and Hardy's character finally taps out.

If you haven't seen this movie....you are missing out. It is fantastic. To really understand this final scene, you have to see history and dynamic of these two brothers. They both had a lot of animosity towards eachother because of things that happened in their past.

All Hardy's character wanted to hear was "I love you" from his brother. It was beautiful. I shed a tear everytime I watch that scene.

This is one of the best movies I've watched.
 
I didn't cry, but it was a touching moment in a cartoon in frozen, at the end when Anna sacrifices herself for her sister.

*cut me some slack I have 3 daughters
 
Don't know if it has been posted already but My Dog Skip when Skip is laying unconscious on the operating table and the boy is just crying and pleading for him to live.

I refuse to watch that movie.

That part was sad but the end was sadder to me. The voiceover of him talking about how he didn't see Skip anymore after he went to college, and then Skip as an old dog wanting up on his bed and Kevin Bacon having to help him. That kills me.

Probably doesn't help that one of my dogs I grew up with died while I was away at college.

The scene in Blade 2 where Nyssa asks Blade to carry her out into the sun where she can die like a Vampire.

Its a great movie, but I just can't handle dog movies.
 
Star Wars Revenge of the Sith

It's already known that anakin will fall and become Darth Vader but doesn't make it any less somber when he slaughters kids, kills his woman, and is scorched by the lava after unwisely deciding to try to kill Ben Kenobi.

Did this really bring you to tears? Not judging, just asking.

I thought the scene of Anakin having his legs cut off and falling into lava was the most poorly acted scene of the entire saga. That scene could have been powerful. Everybody was waiting for that moment of Obi-Wan and Anakin and Hayden Christensen was awful. Part of that was Luca's writing too.
 
Scene in 1408 where john Cusack is holding his daughter and she goes limp in his arms and he says" I can't lose you again".

I couldn't fathom the pain of losing my children. It's by far my biggest fear in life.

It made me cry that I paid 15 bucks to see it. You'd think I would have learned the previous two times.

No it just made me really sad.

Oh but now it's coming to me one that did make me cry for a movie I saw in the summer of 2011.

Dawn of the Planet of the Apes
I can't recall the name of the gorilla but he does die in a terrible way. I think his name was Buck.

That was Rise of the Planet of the Apes.
 
The end of "We Were Soldiers" when Hal Moore was talking to the Reporter and crying about all of his men who died in the battle of LZ X-Ray in the IA Drang Valley.
