Gets me every time. I wince for humanity and nads.

The final scene in Philadelphia and Neil Young song hit me very hard.
When the little girl finds out Macaulay Culkin died in "My Girl."
The "Goodbye Frankie" scene in the film "In America." Full meltdown.
The final scene in "A Perfect World" with Kevin Costner and then the most recent was Gran Torino.
I've watched top gun literally 200 plus times but always hope goose rejects in time and get choked up every single time maverick hits the water and yells goose

Great movie. Tough and sad.
Just about every scene in A.I. Artificial Intelligence.
No?

Absolutely when Apollo dies in slow motion. Then Rocky drives to the montage of "No Easy Way Out"
Anything involving animals dying. Like Artax sinking in the swamps of sadness in the Neverending Story: http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=y688upqmRXo&desktop_uri=%2Fwatch%3Fv%3Dy688upqmRXog
Hhahahhhhh. Dying of laughter. I will never see that seen the same way ever again. #fightagainsthesaddness
"The Fighting Sullivans" 1944 (Saving Private Ryan is based partially on this)
The had to stop showing it in theaters because of the ending
It's a well made, highly professional piece of home front propaganda, but one wordless scene makes it stand out. Thomas Mitchell, who had played Scarlett O'Hara's father, played the father of the Sullivan family as the same kind of tough, cocky little Irishman. Early in the movie, we see the family ritual of his going off to work. As he swings up onto the caboose of the freight train, an honest working man proud to provide for his family, his five boys rush pell mell up the ladder of the railroad water tower to the encircling balcony. There they wave goodbye to him, and he waves back. At the end of the picture, after the mourning was over, Mr. Sullivan goes back to work. As he boards the back of the caboose, he looks up and sees the water tower balcony. It's empty. His knees bend, his shoulders slump, and you can see all the hope and pride drain out of him as the blow finally hits home. The shot has been perfectly foreshadowed, but it's completely unexpected. It's the emotional payoff to which the entire picture had been building up

Good choice. Maybe the most sad. At least when I was 7 years old it was. Ol' Yeller was a close second.
