Movies that have a really emotional ending.

Hair. Remember when he's marching into the belly of the troop transport plane to go off to Vietnam, having just taken his buddies place for a few hours, and the next shot is his gravestone. Man oh man.

When I was a kid......."Bambi" ????????????

 

Ever seen Bambi vs Godzilla?? 

[JohnOFphon]

Cave Man. With Ringo Starr. When in the ending he throws Barbara Bach into the dinosaur poop and walks off with Shelly Long. Seriously man...so sad that he choose her over Barbara....

Armageddon.

I always seem to get something in my eye during the final scene.

I don't remember the title of the movie, or much of anything.

But there was this bad monster (or was it a robot?) which everybody thought would be dead. And then the last scene of the movie shows that it moves again. 

I am sure someone here will remember that one.

Godzilla?

It's such a corny film, I'm sure it's the AC blowing on my eyes at the end of that movie, or perhaps an allergy to Aerosmith making my eyes red.

Starman (1984)  With Jeff Bridges and Karen Allen 

 

"The ending of the movie is the saddest part of all because well you'll just have to see it for yourself. If you like movies and Scifi movies this is the movie for you. I recommend that you go rent this movie or look for it on the movie channels Because this will make you laugh and cry."

Carve her name with Pride with Virginia McKenna. 1958.

 

A war time spy film based on the true life events of Violette Szabo. I was reminded of this film many years after seeing (several times) when I stumbled on a small museum in memory of her in a small village in Herefordshire.

 

The Mission with Robert De Niro and Jeremy Irons. 1986

 

Like Schindler's List, this was another movie that stunned the audience into silence at the end. I still have the sound track from this movie and play it occasionally. The closing track, Miserere, always invokes the memory in me, of one of the few remaining children, running to the stream to grab their doll and disappearing onto the jungle. A very moving film.

Easy Rider...

regards Worgeordie

I saw easy Rider when I was 16, at the time It was 'X rated (Adult in the UK). Little over a year later in July 1970 the Board of Film Classification increased the age for an 'X' rated film to 18, and thus I was unable to watch a film I'd already seen. A quick question here is how on earth this warrants an 'X' today bewilders me.

 

No problem though, I now watch it at least once a year and even created a mini-documentary of Billy and Wyatt's  journey itself.  The filming actually commenced in New Orleans using some very basic equipment that is evident from the grainy shots.  The film itself starts in New Mexico but then quickly moves to LA (LAX airport) and then back to Arizona. Once on  the way to New Orleans they backtrack again to a small town Franklin where they pick up Hanson. Then they ride even further away to the ominous cafe.  They should have taken heed here as after leaving New Orleans they returned to the area again, the final scene taking place only 34 miles away at Krotz Springs.

I walked out of Schindler's List.

The hardest part of watching that movie was opening a packet of crisps without waking everyone up.

I wanted this movie to go on for another 32 years.

I've seen a few Thai movies with very sad endings, but I wouldn't remember the names.

You had an emotional attachment to Godzilla?

[thaibeachlovers]

Three movies I will never watch again because the ending is too sad are

Red Turtle, an animated film

Graveyard of the Fireflies. An animated film from Ghibli studios.

and

Dancing at Lughnasa. I watched that years ago and just the thought of it makes me sad.

 

The ending of Ryan's Daughter should have made me sad, but I thought she deserved what happened to her, so it didn't really.

Another David Lean film had the emotional ending at the beginning, so it wasn't as sad as it might have been- Lawrence of Arabia.

Another war movie with an emotional ending is Oh What A Lovely War.

I doubt anyone could watch that and not be saddened by the thousands of crosses at the very end.

 

Good Morning Vietnam also had a somewhat sad ending, though nothing like the above.

Additionally, I was so saddened by Robin Williams suicide that watching any of his movies is only a recipe for feeling melancholy.

Schindler's List has to be the tops. Field of Dreams, Starman. To Sir with Love?

Wake in Fright is not emotional, more acutely uncomfortable for many Australians.

I thought the really emotional bit in Schindler was when the little girl in the red dress was running around, not the ending.

Another Poitier film with a sad ending was A Patch of Blue.

Love Story (1970)

That movie made me laugh.  My girlfriend at the time was not amused at that reaction and dumped me because of, in her words,  my lack of emotional intelligence. maybe not far wrong.

Not just that, but there are a lot of Gibson haters out there that probably cheered when he died ( in the movie ).
