I saw the movie The Green Mile before anyone else in my high school did and one day a class of mine decided to show it. Since I knew what was going to happen, I won't deny that seeing what happened to John Coffey was deeply sad to the point of tears the first time around, but seeing the second time around made me more curious how it affected the other students and sure enough, everyone except the teacher and myself were crying. I was called a heartless monster by alot of them since they noticed I didn't shed any tears until I told them I saw it already and knew what was coming.

[@ozymandiasultor9480]

They called you a heartless monster because you were not crying? I have seen all those movies and I have never cried, it simply is how I am, I am sad, but I don't cry, and I doubt that too many people actually cry. Sorry, but I don't think there are so stupid people, even kids who would call somebody heartless because he wasn't crying.

Honorable mentions: Emma Greenway, Terms of Endearment (1983): She dies of cancer, and her last words with her children is soooooo sad. Harry Stamper, Armageddon (1998): He gave his life to destroy an asteroid at the last minute...and he had one last word with his only daughter. Mr. Spock, Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan (1982): Even when he uses logic to sacrifice his life, it doesn't make his loss any easier. LLAP. Sam Wheat, Ghost (1990): It was sad to see him die so early in the film, and even sadder when it finally time for him to go to heaven. Maximus, Gladiator (2000): Claudius fatally wounds him, he clobbers the SOB to death in the ring, and dies heroically. May we see him in another life, but not yet.

[@12Chris6]

Maximus should've been on this list. I can't watch the ending of Gladiator without crying.

[@shottydiaper4724]

There were a few I was surprised wasn't on this list. "Our Friend" Nicole discovers she has terminal cancer and her husband as well as their best friend is by her side every step of the way. "Schindler's List" Red Coat Girl, we see her wander the ghettos while atrocities occur all around her. Later we see her dead amongst others to be burned. "Saving Private Ryan" Ryan's words at the end of the film amongst his family "Tell me I lived a good life, tell me I'm a good man." I could go on and on

That hit me like a ton of bricks. Boy did I sob then.

[@joermnyc]

Jack dying lost a little bit of it’s impact when Mythbusters figured out how to save him and Rose. (Although one could argue that the situation was so chaotic, and the extreme cold meant that neither of them were in the right frame of mind to think, “Hey, let’s tie your life jacket to this door.”)

[@Only1Noodle]

What's even funny about that is that James Cameron was there when they busted this Myth

[@batgurrl]

James Cameron said JACK MUST DIE What anyone else says is truly irrelevant.

[@LucianDevine]

That's part of what makes the death so tragic, knowing how it could have gone if they'd had the time to truly think it through. It's one of those times when you can excuse the character's mistakes though, given all of the events that preceded them.

[@PoolKid75]

The Mythbusters only reinforced Jack's need to sacrifice himself for Rose. They proved that the piece of wood (not actually a door) was not buoyant enough or stable enough to support the weight of both Jack and Rose. The idea that either would have the strength, presence of mind or even the ingenuity to tie their life jackets together and put them under the piece of wood is ridiculous. They were both in freezing cold water and had just gone through a harrowing ordeal. They both barely had enough strength left to even get on the piece of wood. Had they stopped to think of the life jacket hack they would've both froze to death.

[@eriprast1083]

Jack representation of 3rd class passengers, most of them were dead in that tragedy. So its unfair if jack survive and happy ending with Rose. The way he died just for dramatic romance scene

[@theexisitingfour1850]

Something more positive about Top Gun: The actors who played Iceman and Goose also voiced the fighter jets Echo and Bravo in Planes. In Planes, the jets help Dusty find the aircraft carrier and in addition to being voiced by the same actors, they’re also animated wearing the characters’ helmets.

I think Doby deserved his own place in the list. Everyone who read Harry Potter loved Doby. He had been Harry's almost secret helper throughout the books. It's a crime he didn't get the same attention in the movies, but it all ended the same way. Doby was a loyal friend to Harry and his friends and gave his life for him. Not only is it a shock with reading the books, but knowing that it's coming when watching the movies is even worse. Not to mention the sad somber music playing and the brilliant acting by Daniel Radcliff to show Harry's panic and sadness in the moment. My parents were upset for months when they first read Deathly Hallows, and both cried their eyes out when they started reading the words on the page. Dumbledore's death was tragic. Cedric's death was a wake up to the dark turn the series would take. But Doby's death was heart-wrenching and left people in shambles.

One more thing to Note, When Dumbledore said “Severus, Please” before Severus killed him, those who hadn’t read the books were initially thinking that Dumbledore was wanting to stop Severus from killing him. But as we learn in the Deathly Hallows Part 2, Dumbledore wanted Severus to kill him to gain Severus Voldemort’s trust and find a weakness, so it makes a surprising twist but also makes it more harrowing that Dumbledore’s death HAD TO Happen so that Harry could win.

[@ChibiProwl]

[@nrkgalt]

I read the book before the movie came out, and I had a hunch that Dumbledore would die, if not in Half Blood Prince then in the final book. Dumbledore was actually the character who had to die. Harry’s defeat of Voldemort would have meant less if Dumbledore was still alive.

[@LucianDevine]

@@nrkgalt He was the only man that Voldemort feared after all, and master of the elder wand. If he can duel Voldemort to a draw or potentially win all by himself no big group fight would have any tension. So you are 100% right. Dumbledore had to die and Voldemort had to get the elder wand. It amped up the tension going into the final book in a HUGE way.

Jenny’s death was sad, but I always thought Bubba’s death was sadder. Probably because he did nothing to deserve it while Jenny did damage willingly to her own body.

[@nirmalsuki]

I think Jenny gets shit on quite a lot by audiences who don't get the circumstances of her life, especially her childhood. She was a kind girl, but life dealt her several bad hands and she never seemed to get out of wanting to be in the moment, drowning herself in all sorts of things. She did do the damage to herself willingly, but she didn't know any better than self-sabotage. It's a common theme among kids who grew up with sexual trauma.

In this future, he meets and falls for a troubled woman, Jackie, who he met as a kid, briefly. Her mom was dead and this messed her up. Before he dies, he takes a letter to Jackie's mom to warn her of the fate to come if something doesn't change. As he said in the letter, "no matter how bad things look, they always look better awake than asleep".

Great video

[@johnwilliams4618]

A few were out of order for me but #1 was completely spot on. Even seeing the little bit you showed brought tears to my eyes.

[@robbyosborne9708]

Danny's death from American History X should've been at least an honorable mention. His death kills me every time.

[@madelinegarber7860]

The ones that come to mind for me are Iron Man, Yondu, and that last scene with the dad in Onward though he was technically already dead. I still ugly cried though. Same with that last scene in Green Mile. I think my brain tried to supress that memory because I always forget about it. I knew the scene was coming and still sobbed helplessly.

[@rathalostitanXII]

Snape dying was more heartbreaking than Dumbledore.

[@diegonascimento258]

Just came here to cry, thank you

[@Rosewolf29]

As soon as I saw the title, I was like "if Optimus Prime ain't on this list and the number 1, imma be pissed."

[@Loremastrful]

This is the death Dumbledore should have been.

How can sirius black be left off this list Harry's emotion when he lost his godfather

[@kylewalsh9267]

I’ve been watching these top movie lists for the past 7 years and This is the first time that I actually don’t agree with the list! To think Bridge to terabithia wasn’t even mentioned on this list actually made me spill my popcorn 😅 Although the list was good, action/comedy movie deaths are far less emotional than some of the other fictional and romantic movies that could have been placed.

[@stevenjohansen3827]

Stay gold Pony Boy.

[@esmerayofficialyt]

aggressive crying

[@banana_etiquette]

great movie 😭

[@OneSong411]

The saddest death scene I can remember seeing is in You're Not You. It's heartbreaking as Emmy Rossum's character respects Hillary Swanks' character's wishes to not help when she starts choking that night because she doesn't want to live with that disease anymore. And then it gets even more intense and difficult to watch when Emmy's character decides to sit with Hillary's character as she's dying so she's not alone. I've full on sobbed for only a few movies, but this movie is definitely one of those.

[@supaflyguy666]

Good list, had me crying just remembering the deaths. And obviously it’s difficult to include all the saddest deaths so I’ll throw in some honorable saddest deaths: - Gandalf and Boromir from LOTR:FOTR - Captain Miller and Wade from Saving Private Ryan - The mother in A Monster Calls - Veronica Guerin in Veronica Guerin - Andrew in Philadelphia

[@crimsonvoid1595]

What really hits you in the Feels is that Harry had made Doby promise never to save Harry’s Life again.

[@jeffreyparent4392]

Great list. I would have shuffled the order a bit, and I would have added Boromir, but good job!

[@matthewescudero4287]

Now what's missing is a Top 100 version of this list.

[@Schracid]

I cried at the end of T2. 30 years later my son did too. Man...

[@SummerSolstice621]

Bruce Willis- Armageddon 🥺 Queen Latifah- Set it Off 🥺 Tom Hanks- Philadelphia 🥺

[@wilbreedlove9758]

That moment you realize Obi Wan loses 2 Satines

[@famouslarry1]

I really didn't get choked up at all for most of those, but John Coffey (like the drink but spelled different) had me losing it. I thought Ben's (Will Smith) death in Seven Pounds was really sad with all of the circumstances around it - his self sacrifice, his friend (Barry Pepper did it beautifully) breaking down, the music, the transplant......really got me.

[@OmegaTitan37]

Wait. Dumbledore said please so snape would do it and to make it seem like he was begging for his life

[@asaknight321]

It's fitting and depressing how Ewan McGregor had to lose two satines, first in Moulin Rouge then in star wars the clone wars.

[@rafaelpozo9962]

EVERY JEWISH DEATH IN SCHINDLER'S LIST ITS THE SADDEST OF ALL TIME

[@kathleenclark5877]

… the little girl in the red coat!

[@henri191]

John Coffey as number one is totally right , it's basically impossible not to cry

[@joselandez4115]

I agree with most of this list but how is La Bamba not on this list

[@ervinghenderson4780]

Mickey in Rocky 3

[@IJGxxx]

Exactly

[@Mlo-tn9yr]

Brooks death in Shawshank redemption is so horrifically relatable to me. I truely am terrified of just so much, even something as simple as someone slightly changing their tone of voice or even moving a little bit faster can be terrifying for me. Anxiety has truly taken everything from me.

[@olvialee7221]

After watching Forrest Gump for the first time, I cried my heart out. I can’t explain it

[@Mimeh53]

No need to explain. It was a wonderful film.

[@johnnymartinjohansen]

The whole movie is an emotional rollercoaster, it's one of the best-made movies in history, imo.

[@Mangolite]

There should be an Honorable Mention to include Train To Busan (2016) and The Champ (1979).

[@xoxoepic]

Gwen from The Amazing Spiderman 2 and Tony from Avengers Endgame broke me. But I can't believe they didn't put Serious Black from HP Order of Phoenix in this vedio. That scene was heartbreaking and ripped HP fans heart out. Also Bormor from Lord of the Rings 1 that also broke and ripped the LOTR fans hearts out.

[@kangdrekutzbykang7856]

I didn't look at Tony's death as the "out with the old in with the new" at first, but now I see it.

[@samsprrr3548]

I cried when tony died couldn't help it when you see the avengers trying to hold it together I lost it.

[@roxy5588]

What about Danny from Pearl Harbour? That scene had me crying loudly! 😭😭😭😭😭

[@jimmorrisonsbelt2337]

Right ?? And when Red found out his fiancee was also killed in the attacks ? That was heartbreaking as hell
