Interstellar. All day, every day.
Several scenes but most notably when Matthew McConaughey's character gets back to the ship and he's told he has spent the equivalent of 23 Earth years on a planet. He then sits and watches all the videos his kids have sent him from Earth while he's been away. He realizes they've grown up without him. His son has a kid, his daughter is pissed because he promised he'd come back and he hasn't. He's missed out on all the normal stuff we fathers take for granted. Gut wrenching every time.
Thought it was universally agreed to be Old Yeller or Turner and Hooch.

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

Good call there. Certainly deserves mention. Had forgotten that one.

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.

Yes... but Jesus you are as old as I am?

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...

I think we all know. How would you handle it?

It was a very thinly veiled dig at Ms. Noem...and the people who saw her as a good choice for any
public office...that's the part that should have been 'handled' differently...fortunately, she put herself down with her untempered barking in the Senate hearings...
Ah, so you would have handled it like Noem.

Just accept that the rot starts at the top...and Donald J. Trump is as bad as you can get.

Among other things, we see and accept that you criticize others for doing things you would do.

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.
