Saddest TV or Movie Scenes Ever

A Dog's Purpose... the whole movie. Any movie in which a dog dies is a tear-jerker; this movies kills like 10 of 'em.
The scene in "Dumbo" where they go to visit Dumbo's mom in elephant jail is one of the few things that makes me cry every damn time.
Logan had quite a few emotionally brutal moments-
Multiple episodes of Scrubs.
Jurassic Bark, Luck of the Fryish and The Bots and the Bees from Futurama.
Charles having some form of dementia and looking so frail and weak, Logan himself now being old and utterly worn down, Charles dying and Logan dying. But the saddest was the final shot when the Laura turned Logan's cross sideways to make it an X.
Jurassic Bark, Luck of the Fryish and The Bots and the Bees from Futurama.
Actually I found Titanic quite sad in understated ways. Thomas Andrews adjusting the clock in the dining room, the band playing on the decks, little stuff like that.CaitSeith said:
And of course there's also the tragic undercurrent that it was a real thing and the ship became the water bound headstone for something like 1200 souls.
Damn. That reminded me of Memento. But more for the cop, than the main characterAgema said:

Ithink Xavier yelling at Logan at the start was gut wrenching, especially when he breaks down and cries, but not realising how hurtful he's been. Also, when he does, he thinks Logann is killing him, and the look of betrayal that his own 'son' is doing it. And the hotel scene where Xavier loses it, show you how dangerous he is and the stories about Westmister were real.
Fleabag! I don't know anyone else that has watched that magnificent show. Terrific show. I love when she speaks with a man that is going through a group thing with men. He speaks of how he wants to be better and let his wife know how much he adores her. Gotta stop typing. Getting vaklempt.Agema said:
Fry's dog Seymour in "Jurassic Bark" is the obvious choice however, even thinking about that moment in the "Luck of the Fryrish" episode of Futurama when Fry finally realizes his brother didn't steal his identity but instead missed him so much that he named his son after him will get me going every time. If I were an actor, that'd be my go to for sad scenes.
A close second is the later series episode "Game of Tones" when he talks to his mom in her dream.
And now I'm crying on a bus, great. Goddamn. How is a cartoon this powerful? What a terrific series that was.

The endings of Now And Then, Here And There and Saikano aka She: The Ultimate Weapon. As far as anime goes those are some peak fucking sadness and as far as I'm aware no one really knows about them. Possibly because they're 20 years old holy shit I'm old.
While looking up NaTHaT I also found out its been compared to Grave Of The Fireflies, so hey, if proof be needed.

I'd expect a sizeable chunk of the British population - although it will be much harder to find Americans.Gorfias said:
Not just him - I liked that that (including the second season) Fleabag lets nearly most of the characters have some depth, strength and sympathy. Fleabag's drippy boyfriend at the start; the guy she mucks around and who finally lets fly with his frustration, even her sister's odious husband. Major and minor, the characters are not just comedic grotesques, you're invited to see their pain and struggle, and feel for them too.
The whole ending montage in "The assassination of Jesse James...", elevated by excellent Nick Cave soundtrack.
Blade Runner... 2049
The bittersweet ending to "Life is Beautiful". Putting a movie about holocaust here feels like cheating, but this one in particular hits hard because for the greater run time it's almost a (tragic)comedy.
The ending to "Leon(The Proffesional)".
In a more sappy way; an old, tired dog on a verge of death is a tearjerker that is guaranteed to work. Others already mentioned 'Jurrasic Bark', but im talking here about "My friend Hachiko" or whatever was it called. The one with Richard Gere.
Cowboy Bebop, "Hard Luck Woman" session. Bebop crew splitting, and Faye lying on the outline of her past. (And "The real folk blues pt.2" of course, but that's obvious... "Bang!")
Blade Runner... 2049
K dying on those stairs. Sure, it's almost a homage to Roy Batty's death in original BR, down to the same music. And on a technical, performance level, and cultural impact, Rutger Hauer's monologue comes on the top. But, K's death left bigger emotional impact on me, due to ramifications of the plot and character.

Edit: Seconded. I tried covering my ears to drown out her pain, it did not work.Kyrian007 said:
This scene is the first time I ever cried at an anime that had tear jerking ending.
I saw both NaTHaT and Grave of the Fireflies within a couple of weeks of each other. I was 14 at the time (saw them both in 2003). What the hell was I doing watching those??!! Though I can't watch GotF, it feels way too guilt trippy. Which it is to its Japanese delinquent youth during the 80s.Here Comes Tomorrow said:
