What about when Sally Field's daughter dies in Steel Magnolias? Her grief is so heart rending.
Also, one of my favorite movies is Man in the Moon - a very young Reese Witherspoon plays in it. There's a very sad scene where her sister's boyfriend is killed by a tractor and his mother finds him in the field - OMG. I was crying out loud watching that scene.
And Jane Fonda - in the Doll Maker - when her little girl is run over by that train and they're trying to get her to the hospital and you know she's dead but Jane Fonda can't accept it. Sheeze!
Augh - what about the scene in Sarah's Key when the sister goes running into the apartment and yanks open the hidden door to the closet and realizes that her little brother never got out of there - that he died in that closet all alone?
I agree, the mom's grief was heartbreaking and I still tear up when I watch it.
I also agree with the little girl in Sophie's Choice.
I was sad when the replicant in Blade Runner (Rutger Hauer, I think) died
Debra Winger in Terms of Endearment
Livia Soprano (just kidding - good riddance old witch, I wished she could've taken Uncle Jun with her)
Charlotte in Charlotte's Web
Melanie Wilkes in Gone With The Wind
Alice Munro and Uncas in Last of the Mohicans
The father in Life is Beautiful. Of course, I cried harder when the little boy was reunited with his mother.
Brian Piccolo in Brian's Song. I was about 13, and watching it with my parents and sister on the ABC Movie of the Week, trying to hide the fact that I was sobbing like the overemotional teenager that I was.
Two already mentioned -- Old Yeller, and Joy Gresham in Shadowlands.
I'm sure there are more. Heaven knows I used to sob my brains out while watching tearjerkers on the Late Late Show.
Charlotte in Charlotte's Web and Jenny from Forest Gump. Enough said.
