    The ending of Withnail & I makes me want to cry... which is weird considering that it's supposed to be a comedy. When Withnail recites Hamlet's "What is this quintessence of dust?" soliloquy in the rain at the end it's heartbreaking.

    I tend to find unusual films really sad. One of the most heartbreaking scenes I can think of in any film is this, in which De Niro doesn't speak one single word but says more than in any other scene in the film:

    "I remember one night at Muzdalifa with nothing but the sky overhead, I lay awake amid sleeping Muslim brothers and I learned that pilgrims from every land — every colour, and class, and rank; high officials and the beggar alike — all snored in the same language"

    I second this!
    A pessimist is a man who thinks all women are bad. An optimist is one who hopes they are.

    lol..some of you are actually including Saving Private Ryan. That movie had a happy ending...Private Ryan makes it back to the states to see his mommy, and to raise daughters with big boobies.

    If you think war movies are sad, here's a sad scene from an xlnt war movie:
