This. The movie as a whole. Though I've gotta say the most emotional scene for me was when...
When Doctor Ferreiro mercifully kills the wounded revolutionist, and he starts walking away, only to get shot. And then he keeps walking until he no longer can. That scene still gives me goosebumps. So powerful.
Pan's Labyrinth is one of the few movies I cannot watch on a regular basis, owing to the overwhelmingly oppressive atmosphere and the intensity of many of the scenes. Nevertheless, it is far and away one of my favorite films.
It is my favorite film. Only movies that come close are Black Swan and The Wrestler. Ironically, they're all movies that I can't watch on a regular basis, because they just leave me feeling completely drained, both physically and emotionally. The toll they take on my psyche is just too much to bear regularly.
I saw Black Swan in theaters twice. First time, I came out absolutely speechless, which I've never done. I thought it would be better the second time. Nope. Just couldn't do anything afterwards. I was to young to see Pan's Labyrinth in theaters, and The Wrestler never played nearby. I imagine they would have done the same.
I think Black Swan is an incredible film. As a matter of fact, I just purchased it on Blu-Ray a few hours ago. The visceral tension throughout the film only brings to mind Aronofsky's earlier film Requiem for a Dream, of which I am also an avid admirer.
This one isn't emotional in the soft, sad sense, but I think it's the most powerful one I've ever seen. (The 3:36-6:10. You can watch after that but I don't recommend it if you haven't seen the movie before.)
Come and See. The whole movie evokes emotion. I've never lost it, as in crying, while watching it, but it makes me feel dead inside, and it's the only movie I've ever seen that makes me feel that way. Watching a 14 year old running away from his village after it was massacred by Germans, and just glancing back and seeing a pile of naked bodies stacked behind a barn, and then he just keeps running with a paralyzed face. No real emotion, just a dull horror. Hard to explain, but watch it.
That moment in crash when... well go watch it, if youve seen that movie you know which bit I mean, the only thing that comes close to that is the end of babel when this music comes in
aye, that one got me close. so did that one scene in avatar when they destroy the hometree, (hey, i dont give a damn that its ripped off from dances with wolves. it was a decent sci-fi remake of the thing, and i really hate seeing people get uprooted (heh, uprooted), or nature destroyed like that just for some shiny rocks.)
cant think of a movie that made me outright cry, though toy story 3 and 2 came close, and so did the opening to sucker punch. im sure there are others i just cant remember right now.
I'm sure most have you have never heard of it[footnote]not trying to sound like a douche, its a small independent film so in all likelihood few here would have seen it.[/footnote], but the end of Mary and Max is one of the saddest things I've ever seen, but at the same time, it has a certain sweetness to it. Its the only film I've actually cried during, but they were manly tears.
Im Australian and love stop motion so yeah Ive heard of it (but havnt seen it)
same could be said for Harvie Krumpet, a short film by the same people before Mary and Max and the same could be said about that too (Id suggest it if you havnt seen it)
I highly recommend Mary and Max, its a really wonderful film. I saw Harvie Krumpet, and can't say that I really found it sad, sure its about a man who has all these horrible things happen to him, but its not about the bad things so much as how he finds the will to go on and live life the way that makes him the most happy. I would call it more uplifting than sad.
You Inhuman gobshites haven't mentioned anything about Lord of The Rings????? The ending of The Return of the King is the closest I've ever come to crying while watching a movie.

Fucking Twelve Monkeys, man... Willis' character is so tragic, it's like everything he does unfailingly leads to more tragedy for himself.
Especially the scene where, after the therapist has convinced him he's deluded, she has to convince him back again after she realizes he's not... welcome back to despair.
Then it ends with the biggest downer ever... not only does he get killed, but he sees himself SEE HIMSELF GET KILLED, realizing that this young version of himself is doomed to repeat everything all over again...
