Yup. I remember watching that thinking "I didn't know he was going to die!!!!" Same thing for The Notebook - I expected her to die, but not him! I sat in the theater and bawled.

And I would love to recommend that people watch Ring of Bright Water -- a delightful movie about a charming otter and his owner... until the end, when it's mistaken for a rat and clubbed to death. What's especially sad is that it's based on a true story, and I guess that they didn't want to change the ending.

OMG! I could never watch that. Otters are my absolute favorite non-domestic animal.

"The Last Picture Show"

The whole movie is a "downer" including the end.

Love to watch it when I feel like getting in a good depressed mood just for the heck of it. [nice cloudy dreary November day, nothing else to do...]

i saw that on TCM. the clubbing threw me for a loop.

i believe the farmer knew it was an otter, and that they were considered pests to get gotten rid of, and found it perfectly within his rights to kill it, until he looked up and saw her face that is.

Trivia - around here people have catfish ponds. An otter can clean one out in a remarkably short period of time.

(Yeah, I know Ali McGraw can't act, but her character died, so I figured that was a wash. )

Which reminds me of "The Champ" from the same era. We shoulda sold Kleenex at the concession stand.

It was a Disney movie, about a guy studying wolves in Alaska. In the end, the wolves are killed. But, the Eskimo who killed the wolves, got new braces!

Leaving Las Vegas, Nicholas Cage goes there to drink himself to death, meets a hooker, both are losers. He dies in the end. She continues hooking. Would have ruined the movie if he stopped drinking, and they got married and lived in Suburbia.

Any movie where the dog dies. Forget it. I have so much counter transference, I bawl for days, experiencing grief again from when my dog died.

My Girl, McCauley Caulkin dies.... That is sad.

Up In The Air. I loved this movie because of the way it ends. It wasn't tied up with a pretty little bow at the end. Instead, he puts himself out there only to have his heart broken.

Pay it Forward - Can't really say why without ruining it for others. Let's just say it was completely unexpected and I sat there thinking "Why?"
