saddest movie ending ever was the 1956 release of
the hunchback of notre dame. when gina lollabrigida died, anthony quinn and i cried for weeks. he (quasimodo) crawled into the burial cave, lay down beside her and stayed there until time blew their bones into eternity.
i was 11 and already an avid n.d. fan. it was almost impossible to endure. saddest ending ever.
Totally forgot! These convo’s are soooo good. Thanks Knute

Life is Beautiful.
Well, if you are going to bring that kind of thing out, might as well mention Jojo...
... tying his mother's shoe as she hangs there.
I dunno. Still scarred by Old Yeller.

ND '94 ... not that old. Well, not that old to me, that is.
I suppose he still could have seen Old Yeller as a kid on some Saturday movie matinee on an independent channel.
As a 10 nyear old in 1957 I stood in line for a couple hours to see thiis film...
and was heart broken when I walked out,

I'd be curious to hear what Kristi Noem thinks of that scene...

Well played!

Along those lines, "Cinema Paradiso" ranks high on evoking an emotional response...should be on
everyone's list...IMO.
re: The Champ...Schroder's performance is impressive for someone that young...definitely tugs the heart strings.
Definitely a sad ending, but the end of Saving Private Ryan ranks as #1 for me…
Especially when old Ryan falls to his knees over Capt Miller’s grave stone in Normandy. Chokes me up every time.
Yep

Oof. I just watched that. The movie starts & ends in that cemetary. This scene was rough as well...
Oh yeah. That was a heart breaking seen, too. Miller’s death at the end was tough, too

Nope. Rick Schoder was a D bag and he got everything coming to him.
