Definitely these two!! Up & Big Hero 6 Disney movies were tear-jerkers for me!! I'm sure there are tons of others. LOL I'm a sap too! Yes, Ellie in Up, and also when she loses her baby. I forgot about Ellie in Up. Holy crap, they packed a lot of emotion into such a short montage. I still can't believe how sad that makes me.

There is also a scene at the end of the movie The Champ where a very young Ricky Schroeder is screaming for Champ to wake up.
[/quote]
OMG…HOW could I forget The Champ?!! I was just a kid when I saw that, and my sisters and I cried for days I think. Anytime we were sad, we’d say “Champ, come back”.
And on that note, not a death but the movie Savannah Smiles had me bawling every time, when she had to go back home. The little girl was so dang cute. “Bye Bootsie”. Gaaaah, so sad.

My Girl is a good one. The funeral scene gutted me as a kid.
The Fault in Our Stars is another one for me. More the book than movie.
For me the hardest death in the Harry Potter series was either Hedwig, Fred, or Tonks and Lupin. So sad.

Besides many of the ones mentioned, I was traumatized by that ER episode where the pregnant woman dies since I was very pregnant myself at the time. Luckily I had an OB appointment the next day and she talked me down haha. SAME!! No one ever knows what I am talking about when I mention it. I was either pregnant or it was shortly after ds was born. Never watched another episode of ER after that.

Oh I agree with so many of these...
One more death from ER that really got me was Dr. Pratt. That was a tough one.
And Charlie, from Lost...when he puts his hand on the window & has written "Not Penny's Boat" ugh!

There are so many of these that I am just nodding yes,yes,oh my YES!
Henry Blake on Mash and Shelby in Steel Magnolias. Brian's Song.
No one has mentioned David Keith's character (Sid Worley) in An Officer and A Gentleman.
I can't even watch the NCIS episode where Ari shoots Kate.
I love thr West Wing ao very much but I always, always have to turn off the ending of We Killed Yamamoto where Mark Harmon's character Simon Donovan is killed.
It is just too much with the silent scenes with the song Hallelujah played over the top and CJ's gut wrenching reaction. Can't even watch.

Envision 30 5th graders, sobbing at our desks. That’s what I remember about Old Yeller.
I agree with so many of these, I’m definitely tearing up over so many.
I think I cried the most at the ending of A Thousand Splendid Sun. There are scenes in that book I have to push out of my head if I recall them. But while the end was hard to read, it was a masterpiece of dignity, friendship, and strength. I am not sorry I read it.
in a similar vein, Sommersby was the same. I was mad, furious with the ending. It took me three watches before I accepted it, and got why he acted as he did. Incredible acting by Gere, by the way.

I couldn’t agree more with the deaths in these:
Terms Of Endearment My Girl Forrest Gump (Tom Hanks’ “I miss you, Jenny” just kills me) Steel Magnolias City of Angels
I’d also add one that hit me hard at a pretty young age - don’t laugh, but…when Rocky’s trainer, the cute lil old guy (played by Burgess Meredith, I believe) died, I sobbed and sobbed. I had always loved the actor and there was just something really believable about the way they portrayed the love between the two and them and the gravity of the loss.
Worst of all, and I’m still traumatized from having seen it, was Elephant Man. Ugh. Can’t even think about it!

This is a book, not a movie. I was about ten years old and always LOVED dogs! A friend had a book and on the cover had a picture of a dog that looked like ours --an Irish Setter. I thought, that's really cute and I asked for the book for my birthday and got it. It was "Beautiful Joe." The way I remember it--haven't checked at all in the 55-ish years since... the first chapter (and maybe the whole book) was told by the pup. He said about his mom, "one day she licked me gently, wagged her tail and died." I CRIED AND CRIED.
Another chapter was titled "The Mean Milkman."
I couldn't read it anymore and it actually turned me off from reading for quite awhile. As I said, I haven't checked back to see if I was incorrect in what I remember (I still won't) but that was the way I remember the book.

This is not really a "death", but one book that always makes me cry, even now thinking about it, is The Velveteen Rabbit. I had a stuffed rabbit as a kid and it went everywhere with me. I remember it getting to be in pretty bad shape and falling apart. I even bought a copy of the book as an adult. The book makes me think of that stuffed rabbit.

A lot of these. Hearing that version of somewhere over the rainbow when Mark Green dies brings me right back there.
One watching on TV death or sad scene that REALLY got me I can't even remember what it was. Probably the most actual sobbing and tears ever and I can't remember now what it was. Probably would if I saw it again, it'd trigger the memory. It was because pregnant and hormones.
I remember the uncontrollable sobbing followed by the known ridiculousness of it as the normal part of my brain knew it wasn't that sad but there was. Then it kind of made me laugh, too. Cry/laugh, cry/laugh, lather, rinse, repeat.. That was fun!🙃

And if you’ve ever read the book “A Little Life” - oh, Lord. I walked around in a slump for a week after I finished it. Yes. I hated that book so much and yet think of it often. I still have not recovered from reading it. ETA: gutted is an appropriate term here. This book left me scarred. It's one of my favorite books - but yes, it's a gut punch. A Mike Tyson sized gut punch.

John Coffey from The Green Mile Mark Greene from ER Thank you for adding John Coffey! That one left a serious mark on me, as well - but I could not think of the name of his character to save my life! Such an amazing actor. I was heartbroken when I heard on the news that he had passed.

I loved "My dog Skip" but the ending was so sad. Our dog grew up with our grandson so when he passed away aged 10 I put together 10 pictures of the two of them together in a frame and used the last words on the screen as a quote. "The dog of your boyhood teaches you a great deal about friendship, and love, and death: Old Skip was my brother. They had buried him under our elm tree, they said-yet this wasn't totally true. For he really lay buried in my heart." Willie Morris, My Dog Skip. That was nearly 14 years ago and I still tear up looking at those photos.

Gary on Thirtysomething was such a shock. I remember I was watching it with my boyfriend at the time and he asked me if I was going to be okay.
William and Jack from This is Us. I knew they were both dying, but it was still a gut punch.
The book that I sobbed at the end was My Sister's Keeper. I was devastated at the end of that book.

Luckily I had an OB appointment the next day and she talked me down haha. omg that one! I was pregnant with dd at the time and I remember saying to myself as I watched "you need to turn this off now, you need to turn this off now, you REALLY need to turn this off now..." I didn't and I think I spent the rest of the night awake worrying. I also had an OB appointment the next day, and fortunately my OB was SUCH a nice guy... very patient and took all the time in the world. We were just finishing up the appointment, and he actually had his hand on the doorknob when I said "could I just ask one more question?" When I said "There was an episode of ER last night..." and before I could even finish the sentence he turned around and sat down. lol He said "I was actually considering calling all my patients last night to suggest they now watch, but then I didn't..." hahahaha He then spent 10 minutes explaining how that scenario could never happen in our hospital, etc., etc. lol

Every single Disney Pixar movie ever made. I can imagine the interview question to find those creators - do you love to make people cry? Ugh, I see the little lamp guy start hopping into the frame in the beginning and I'm now conditioned to just start bawling, hahahahaha.
