11. The Neverending Story
If you’re anything like me, you were never quite the same after watching Artax die in the Swamp of Sadness.
12. Dead Poets Society
Robin Williams will always be “O captain, my captain” in our hearts. (It’s OK to cry.)
13. Legends of the Fall
Samuel, why did you try to be the hero? Why didn’t you listen to Tristan, Samuel? There is no point in time when this scene won’t break your heart into a million pieces.
14. Braveheart
FREEEEEEEEEDOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM. God, that never gets old.
15. The Lion King
Disney was obviously hellbent on teaching kids the brutality of reality early in life. Mission accomplished, Mr. Diz. Mission accomplished.
16. Armageddon
That single tear rolling down Bruce Willis’ cheek is enough to turn grown men into man-babies.
17. Marley & Me
I think we can all agree that any scene where a beloved family pet dies is simultaneously the sweetest and saddest thing ever. #RIPMarley
18. Steel Magnolias
While this scene ends on a high note, M’Lynn (Sally Fields) losing her composure at Shelby’s (Julia Roberts) funeral is the cinematic equivalent of putting your heart into a blender and hitting puree.
19. Dumbo
Damn you, Disney! Every. Single. Time.
20. Good Will Hunting
Robin Williams and Matt Damon pour so much emotion into this one scene that it feels like their sadness spills out of the screen and stains your very soul. True story.
