Do the best you can. We've all slipped, and some of this stuff is so old that everyone knows or they don't care, but just in case someone doesn't know and does care, I try to use the spoiler even on the old stuff --SOMETIMES. haohaoehohaoeha!!!!
I hate movies and books being spoiled, especially when the spoiler ambushes me~a little kid in the pool told me the sad part of the new Star Wars Movie and I actually wanted to push him off his little floatie! Thank you for your help!:adore:

You should've used him as your flotation device. I'm kidding.

Behind you
I know I cried for Cujo, book and movie. Book much more. Still upsets me.

I cry for the elderly folks in commercials saying the are having a better life in..
whatever senior place they moved to with ping pong and putt putt.

I lost myself over Wilson.

Anything with an animal. Brace myself. Because I know I will cry, regardless.

I cried yesterday watching
Big Hero Six with my son and the brother died. I cried when the little boy in Pay it Forward died. I have been told by my (long deceased) father that when I was a little kid I watched a movie called The Battle of the Green Berets, after which I was inconsolable because a dog died.:grumpy:
Sometimes I tear up during a random commercial too. Usually any movie were a kid dies I cry, that is with the exception of Pet Semetary. I saw that when I was little, and the image of
Gage getting hit by the truck
is one that's been ingrained into my psyche.:shock: My kids don't understand why I am so overprotective about them walking near roads. I also had a friend killed like that when I was very young.
Big Hero Six got me too.

One that had me in tears on ER, aside from Dr. Green (may we never speak of THAT sobfest again!), was when Dr. Anspaugh's son got cancer the second time. Cried all through his funeral, especially when Jeannie sang Good Riddance (Time of your life) by Green Day. I so loved that show.
NOOO DR.GREEN I got to get off this thread. I boycotted the show after that for a while.

Moderator note: This whole post is a spoiler! Too many to put in spoilers so proceed at your own risk.



The opening of Backdraft, where William Baldwin's character, as a child, sees his firefighter dad get killed on the job. Breaks my heart every single time.
Tom Hank's death in Philadelphia.
Robert De Niro getting shot by Al Pacino at the end of Heat. "Told ya I'm never going back." And earlier in the same movie, when Pacino's character comforts the devastated mother of a slain teenage prostitute. Fortunately, he saved Natalie Portman from committing suicide.
The grandmother who fell out of the elevator in The Towering Inferno. In front of her own grandkids!
Hooch getting shot in, well, Turner and Hooch.
The discovery of the kidnapped girl's body in Dirty Harry.
Murphy's torture and execution early on in Robocop. It's so painful that it makes his subsequent payback against the scumbags that did it so awesome.
The murder of Charles Bronson's wife in Death Wish.
In The Last Boy Scout, Damon Wayans' character, an ex-quarterback, tells a story about how, during what may have been the best game of his life, his pregnant wife gets killed in a hit-and-run. His prematurely-born son died about fifteen minutes later in an incubator.
Rorschach getting vaporized by Dr. Manhattan in Watchmen.
Rutger Hauer's final speech to Harrison Ford in Blade Runner. "Time to die."
Bryan Cranston's death in Drive. The music does not help.

It's not a death scene (beg pardon!) but I always get choked up in Edward Scissorhands when
Edward says goodbye to Kim and she kisses him and whispers that she loves him.
:bat::cell:I am the same way, hence no Nicholas Sparks movies for me.
I know it's not the same comparison between but I'm starting to view The Big Bang Theory as a romantic drama. Wait . . I have to keep a sense of humor! Okay, I laugh at the opening scene from The Cell (book). It's hilarious!! ;;D ( there needs to be a various breed of dog emoji tab)

Under your bed
Not really a death scene, but in East of Eden. Cal finally getting to know his mom, kind of. She loans him that five grand, hands him the check, and all he can do is just sorta stare at her--this mystery woman supposedly long dead. You see him just dying to reach out to her, to say something, and wicked old Kate just tells him to get lost.

A lesser actor couldna pulled it off. This was Dean at his finest. And his scenes with Raymond Massey at the end, whew.
