The Love Actually scene should be higher up on the list. Higher than Never Been Kissed. Emma Thompson's acting was MASTERful.

The "Love Actually" scene where Karen finds out devastated me. Been there.... I actually felt her pain... and the moment when she wore her best smile just for her kids, pretending everything was ok... been there too. One of the saddest scenes I have ever watched in a movie.

The scene in Love Actually was particularly sad to me because Emma Thompson used to be married to Kenneth Branagh in the 90s and he left her after having an affair on set with Helen Bonham Carter. Life imitating Art indeed.

I think Karen’s scene from Love Actually is by far the most devastating scene. One feels her frustration, her bitterness, but she smile for the sake of her children.

I always feel for Josie when she runs outside to meet her prom date, all excited... Only for him to egg her, and reveal that he only asked her out to laugh at her with his real date. Drew really sells that humiliating moment well! 😭💔

You missed the heartbreaking scene in Four Weddings and a Funeral😢 Matthew giving the Eulogy to Gareth wrecks me every time.

The Love Actually scene is devastating but also highlights how selfless some Mums and Dads are, to be feeling that amount of pain but to brush it aside to protect the children. I definitely see my Mum in that scene. And the orchestral version of Both Sides Now is just beautiful!

Love actually should have been higher. Because the hurt felt so real, even through the screen.

I cry with Emma Thompson every Christmas. Also, Love Actually should have been much higher up the list.

Number 10 always makes me weep. Emma Thompson is brilliant 💖😭

Emma Thompson was so iconic in love actually

I really enjoyed seeing nick help Erin in what women want glad nick decided to use his gift for something selfless

Karen was a true mother, she did what she needed to for her children. I respect her for what she did. I don't think I would have ever been able to do it.

Marley and Me. The scene at the end at the vet's. Owen Wilson was so perfect when he said goodbye to Marley. One of the saddest moments in a rom-com.

Rosie’s miscarriage in “What to expect when your expecting” hits me hard every time 😭😭💔💔. It seemed like she & Marco were about to start their happy little family together, But then tragedy struck & all their plans for the future completely fell apart & their worlds came crashing down around them 😢😢.

City of Angels - The Angel gives up his immortality as an Angel and falls to earth to be with the woman he loves, only for her to die in an accident.

When Lucy’s dad worries what will happen with her after he’s gone in fifty first dates

Pretty Woman is much more disturbing than you think

[kimberlyrosales]

Y'all left out when in Sex and the City, Carrie whoops Big with her bouquet after getting jilted at the altar and Charlotte screams no!! at Big. Ugh I felt that moment in my soul.

[mandisarasekoala]

Honestly I think Love actually was the saddest
