What about Boy in Striped Pajamas? We didn’t technically see them die

[CandiceVidito]

Thomas J Sennett's death was heartbreaking. Especially when his friend was crying out that he needed his glasses at his funeral. 😢

[lopirobinson]

When I was a child My Girl made me ball everytime. From the moment she is told he's dead till after the funeral scene my eyes were tearful, bawling during the funeral scene.

That My Girl scene no matter what age will always tear me up 😢

[Rymar]

Vada losing her best friend Thomas J was really heart wrecking for you since they were getting closer. Also in Stand By Me, Gordie hasn’t seen Chris in so long, he never got to catch up before he died

"Put his glasses back on. He can't see without his glasses. He was gonna be an acrobat." I can't believe that they dared to kill off Macauley Culkin in a family movie. Also, poor Vada has to deal with having been indirectly responsible for her best friend's death.

Chadwick Boseman would always be remembered ❤

[ruisantos]

That ending in Seven... Absolutely no one saw that coming

Schindler's List - The Little girl in the red hood. We saw her earlier in the movie & sadly the next time we see her is on a cart with other dead bodies. That still breaks my heart. 🕊🌹🙇🏿‍♂️

My girl definitely traumatized me when i was a kid.

Also, I'll never forget Bridge To Terabithia, my gf at the time told me i should watch it. I was just a kid and she knew i couldnt handle children dying, but recommended the movie anyway without warning.

I am a grown man of nearly 37 years of age, and yet that My Girl scene still makes me tear up. Its a deeply upsetting scene, acted to perfection by Anna Chlumsky and also Dan Aykroyd(amazing comedy actor indeed, but a fine actor in general in drama scenes too).

[glazgogirl]

I was in high school when My Girl came out and that death and that funeral scene completely traumatized me. I wept long after I left the theater.I don't know why. I can't ever watch that movie again.

*Leslie’s death from the bridge of terabithia was so sad. Great movie throughout then boom.*
*edit: idk how marvel were gonna handle t’challa’s death at first but it’s even more sad because of Chadwick❤️*

[animefanb]

My Girl...so sad bout Thomas Jay. still remember seein it the 1st time

Star Trek Generations: Picard learns that his brother and young nephew (whom we saw in the episode “Family”) were killed in a fire at the family vineyard. Picard (at the time) was very devoted to career and never saw the need to have children as Rene was going to continue the family name.

[What_Makes_Climate_Tick]

Life is Beautiful is a fabulous movie. And Roberto Benigni's antics upon winning the Oscar were memorable. Another favorite performance from him is Jim Jarmusch's Night on Earth.

[Jeremiah_Rivers]

There’s no denying T’Challa’s death was a gut punch to Wakanda.

[meganpowell]

Atonement will always break me. Finding out at the end from the sister that they didn't survive but wanted to give them the happy ending they deserved

[crittaable]

"Marlie and me"...when he lets Marlie go...oh dear god my soul died
