Hmm, I just remembered one that really affected me at the moment of seeing it. Didn't so much stay with me, or make me cry, but it was really sad:

Coming Home, when the younger brother in the wheelchair tries to play his guitar, but can't get his fingers to work, and he just hangs his head in frustration. The whole thing was done pitch-perfect.
Those who say that the totalitarian state of the Soviet Union was not "real" Marxism also cannot admit that one simple feature of Marxism makes totalitarianism necessary:  the rejection of civil society. Since civil society is the sphere of private activity, its abolition and replacement by political society means that nothing private remains. That is already the essence of totalitarianism; and the moralistic practice of the trendy Left, which regards everything as political and sometimes reveals its hostility to free speech, does nothing to contradict this implication.

When those who hated capital and consumption (and Jews) in the 20th century murdered some hundred million people, and the poster children for the struggle against international capitalism and America are now fanatical Islamic terrorists, this puts recent enthusiasts in an awkward position. Most of them are too dense and shameless to appreciate it, and far too many are taken in by the moralistic and paternalistic rhetoric of the Left.

SPOILERS FOR THE DEER HUNTER

saddest moment ever?  first that comes to mind is the end of The Deer Hunter.

i was thinking about making a similar thread called, "Movies that make dudes cry..."  We've all shed tears of sadness, but what about tears of joy? when Rudy gets that final tackle...when Chief throws that fountain through the window...i'll think of more later.

tears of joy over tears of sadness any damn day.  :wink:
There are shadows in life, baby.

Quote from: cecil b. dementedspoilers (requiem for a dream, platoon)

i know there are many others that im forgetting, but the "old" monologue in requiem for a dream, as well as harry and marions last phone conversation, and the last scene of the movie (sarah with the red dress...) always make me cry.

Do you mean where she says, "They're all gonna love me," etc.? That makes me tear up, too.
""Money doesn't come into it. It never has. I do what I do because it's all that I am." - Morrissey

"Lacan stressed more and more in his work the power and organizing principle of the symbolic, understood as the networks, social, cultural, and linguistic, into which a child is born. These precede the birth of a child, which is why Lacan can say that language is there from before the actual moment of birth. It is there in the social structures which are at play in the family and, of course, in the ideals, goals, and histories of the parents. This world of language can hardly be grasped by the newborn and yet it will act on the whole of the child's existence."

Other sad moments:

-[The Adam Kesher/Camilla Rhodes dinner party scene in Mulholland Dr..

-The "sharing circle" scene in Safe.

-The Linda Partrige apology to Phil and the T.J. Mackey/Earl Partridge confrontation in Magnolia.

-The very last scene- the parked-car conversation- in Exotica.

-The scene in The Straight Story where Alvin Straight and the stranger in the bar swap WWII tragedy stories.

-Um... Debra Winger's pre-death hospital-bed monologue to her kids in Terms of Endearment has always, always made me cry, despite the maybe overall cheesiness of the movie.

...those are off the top of my head.  There are many, many more. I'm the world's biggest movie weeper. [/i]

My favorite is the "I miss you, Jenny" monologue with truly great performance by Tom Hanks:


yea, that part gets me.

in soul food when big mama dies, it shakes me up. also, one of the many chick flicks that makes me teary is fried green tomatos.

EDIT: also, again in requiem, i find the scene where sarah mails the letter with all her friends very sad.
