Top 10 Saddest Movie Deaths of All Time

Still sad after all these years. Ever since Bambi was born, his mother has always been right by him. When he finds himself suddenly without her, it's all the sadder.

I don't get why the mothers always have to die in Disney movies!

I also could not finish this movie, then or now.

Mufasa doesn't deserve to die. He deserves to live longer than he did with his beautiful wife, Sarabi, his best friend, Rafiki, his crazy messenger, Zazu, and his happy-go-lucky cub, Simba. I wanted to slap Scar in the face until his cheeks turned bright red.

Mufasa would still be alive with his wife, his old friend, his messenger, and his grown-up son. Simba will never forget his beloved father who loved him, who saved him from the nasty hyenas, who told him about the amazing kings of the past that guide the kings, and who died for him. Although Mufasa is dead, he will always be with his son.

Once Michael Clarke Duncan said, "Please boss, don't put that thing upon my face. Don't put me in the dark. I's afraid of the dark," I cried. Be aware that I don't exactly find death as sad as others do, but this is the saddest thing I have ever seen in my entire life.

The music, the facial expressions, the dialogue, our attachment to John Coffey - everything about this scene is sad. Watch this movie if you haven't. Ignore Rotten Tomatoes. Watch it. I guarantee you will not be disappointed.

Believe it or not, I just couldn't hold it in even before he sat down. After she said, "Does it hurt yet? I hope it does. I hope it hurts like hell," I yelled out loud, "You shut your horrible mouth," in tears.

Then, when he said those words, "Don't put me in the darkness, I'm afraid of the dark," I was literally crying so hard that it was loud. When the movie was over, I didn't stop crying, even an hour after I had watched it. Definitely the saddest movie death ever, and I can't see anything else topping it.

This is the first time I cried in a cinema and the only movie except Return of the King that can make me cry on multiple viewings. It's especially sad because you see how much he loves his family, and we won't be able to see him with Morgan again.

It's heartbreaking because Peter Parker/Tom Holland has now lost a third father figure/mentor. I cried for at least 10 minutes after this, and then again when his signature came up in the credits. Tony Stark was and will probably always be my favorite character.

Good job to Favreau, Feige, the Russos, and especially Robert Downey Jr. I love you 3000 for making such an outstanding character and giving him probably the best ending I could have asked for.

This is one of the saddest scenes of a character's death in a movie ever, in my opinion. I have known men to even cry at the film Titanic because it's a classic all-time movie.

It can't be that bad for the number of awards it has won, even if it's not everyone's cup of tea. Great actors, great makeup, great costumes, great set, and most of all, great special effects make the movie seem like the real ship brought back to life. It was great back then, the special effects they used to make it look like the real Titanic.

I'm sure most people have seen this movie, but if you haven't, I would recommend you do so you can judge for yourself if you like it. Make sure you have the tissues at the ready because you might or might not need them.

Even though it is Sean Bean's character, so everyone knows he is going to die anyway, it is still so sad to watch him go down defending Merry and Pippin.

And how badass is it that he kept fighting even when he had like three arrows sticking out of him already?

I shed a few tears, but my sister, who is obsessed with him, starts wailing and doesn't even finish watching the movie.

It's sad to see him die, but my sister wailing doesn't help.

I can't express my feelings in words, only in tears. This was the first time I cried for a movie character.

But this isn't any movie character. This is Boromir of Gondor, acted by Sean Bean. I love them both.

This was the first movie death that hit me like a punch to the gut. I found other movie deaths sad, but none hurt me like this one did. Maybe it was because I grew up with the original Star Wars films and had a lot of time to become attached to the character. Maybe it was because I spent three entire movies watching this character, while most other movie deaths involve a character who was only in one film.

Maybe it was because Han Solo was the first iconic, non-villainous, well-established character, whose popularity spanned decades, that I witnessed being killed on screen. Maybe it was because it felt so rewarding and nostalgic to see Han Solo on screen again, only for him to be killed several minutes into the same movie, crushing the uplifting feeling in the process.

Whatever the reason, it was painful for me to witness his on-screen death, and my reaction mirrored Leia's when she realized that Han Solo was truly gone.

The fact that he died in a real-life conflict makes it sadder.

I was reading the book, knowing Rue's death was coming, but when I got to that part, I cried the rest of the night. I was fighting back tears the next day at school too.

I haven't seen the movie, but seeing a girl as beautiful as Amandla, who I know played Rue so well, and knowing that at some point she has to die is just so depressing.

Amandla is my favorite actress, and her portrayal of the doomed tribute Rue was gratifying, heartfelt, and tugs at your emotions more than any other on-screen death, in my opinion.

"Well, what are you waiting for? DO IT!"

This one totally ripped me apart. I'd never read the comic series and didn't think that the long-suffering Rorschach would die at the hands of Dr. Manhattan just like that.

I hate Dr. Manhattan so much. I want to kill him, but unfortunately, that isn't possible. Rorschach was my favorite character.

Rorschach asked Dr. Manhattan to kill him because he was on the brink of becoming like Ozymandias, so he asked him to kill him.

They took him out of his element, these ants, meaning people. These little nothings then proceeded to torture and kill him.

Mankind, the cruelest of all.

When you have the courage to climb the Empire State Building, kill three T-rexes, and give your life for a woman, you have to be on this list.

That was sad. Andy Serkis is great at playing apes.

Disney created the greatest love story I've ever seen in eight minutes, and then they make your heart explode.

At least she was already old, but we saw her as a child. She didn't deserve to die before making her dream come true.

Why do they make us cry so much? Ellie and Carl's love was cute, but then she had to die, making the movie ten times sadder.

It was a sad death, even though it wasn't shown. Besides, most of the eggs were eaten before they could hatch, and one of them was damaged, causing the fish to have a smaller fin than usual.

She deserved to see her son and her other children, not to die like this.

How did she die? Did the shark eat her?

Not having read the book beforehand, I wasn't aware of how tragic the ending of Atonement would be.

When Briony revealed the truth about how Robbie's story ended, I immediately started to sob and continued to for quite some time. Robbie is one character I just can't seem to shake, and his death is one I think I won't ever be able to forget.

What happened to that character was just tragic. The death scene of Robbie Turner was pretty haunting to watch.

Saddest Hunger Games death. They should've just killed Gale. Finnick was my favorite character in the series, and Suzanne Collins just had to kill him off!

So sad. I cried in the book and the movie!

Finnick suffered more than just about anyone in this series:

- Forced into the Games at 14
- Forced into prostitution at 16
- Reaped again and put against his friends at about 22
- Watched his mentor and friend Mags die because, on the order of the rebellion, he had to keep Peeta alive at all costs
- Escaped the Quell to learn that his only true love, Annie Cresta, had been captured and tortured by the Capitol while she suffered from severe anxiety/PTSD and possibly other mental illnesses (I think she may be autistic, but that's just me. I just have a lot of Odesta/Annie/Finnick feels, okay?)

He broadcasts stories of his friends and fellow victors, whose deaths have almost ruined him, for all of Panem to hear.

Finnick talks at length about the sexual abuse he suffered in the Capitol. He marries the love of his life, Annie Cresta. He goes on a mission with Katniss and Co. to try and save Panem, only to be decapitated in a sewer by lizard mutts.

He dies before even learning that Annie is pregnant. Anyone who dismisses Finnick simply as 'hot' completely misinterpreted his character. Finnick is a true hero and a portrait of someone who has suffered but stayed strong.

Team Odesta forever.

Even if she acted poorly for most of the film, she still changed later on. And then she tells Forrest that she has a virus (AIDS, probably).

Anyway, she dies, and it comes out of nowhere.

They should've ended the film at the scene where Jenny talks to Forrest while lying in bed after the wedding.

That's such a shame. That scene of Forrest in the graveyard, good God. How depressing.
