(deepthroat @ Dec. 30 2009,05:36) I thought you told me "Your secret is safe with me".

 

Yeah, well hunnney.... that was before Pacman admitted you had been "prodding" him on another thread... Now all bets are off!

[pacman]

   oh Dumbo, leave the prodding to the big kids & stop hi-jacking this thread...

(cancer12 @ Dec. 29 2009,16:38) titanic ( when she let him go, in the middle of the ocean )

Titanic is one of my least favorite movies ever. There is nothing sad about it to me other than having had to watch it one time. Talk about knowing the outcome ahead of time. Geeze, Before it even starts we know the damned ship is going to hit an iceberg and most of the passengers die. Just read about it on wikipedia. LOL. I didn't need to sit and watch for 2 hrs or so to see that. Not a big DiCaprio fan to begin with. He's a pussy and he plays pussies.

(dardenne @ Dec. 30 2009,07:36) when chris walken (nick) blows a hole in his head in Deer Hunter .

I'd forgotten that, and I agree. That scene is very disturbing and why I do not regularly re watch The Deer Hunter.

When Leon dies at the end of The Professional. It would have been nice if he'd have killed Stansfield without dying, and he and Mathilda could have run away to a tropical island.

That scene is very sad. Leon has just been mortally wounded by Stansfield, who approaches him lying on the floor and rolls him over.
Leon: "Stansfield?"
Stansfield: "At your service"
(Leon opens his hand to reveal pulled grenade pins)
Leon: "This...is from...Mathilda"
Stansfield: "Oh shit!"
(Massive explosion, as a ball of fire roars out of bldg toward the street)

Yes Lefty Yes yes yes. Great movie.

This will date me and only Yanks will get the reference but it HAS to be Brian's Song. The original (Billy Dee Williams & James Caan) not the recent remake. Havent seen it for AGES but I remember watching it as a kid. Two scenes: first when he is in the hospital dying and Gale Sayers is holding on to hs hand. The second when Gale Sayers is at the awards ceremony and he asks everyone to pray for Brian Piccolo. Also a very interesting scene that couldnt get made today. Film has a racial element. Back in the arly 70's the Bears started something radical-in training camp they had the players ahre rooms by position. As a result blacks and whites found themselves sharing rooms-a radical propostion at that time. Gayle Sayers and Brian Piccolo share rooms and become friends. Gayle Sayers was the STAR. The star gets hurt and the backup (Piccolo) has a lot of success. So the two work out together in the off season and the star feels sorry for himself and is a bit pissed off and distant. The back up tries to goad the start into working out to get back to tip shape. When the star doesnt feel like working hard the back up (Piccolo the white guy) sneers at the start (black guy) and calls him a, "nigger". His reaction was priceless. Couldnt get mae in our PC Mad world of today.

BTW Gayle Sayers' book called I AM THIRD is a very good read. I read it when I was a teen and I HARDLY ever read when I was a teen.

BE CAREFUL OUT THERE!!!

Another one that's sad for me is the ending of Breaker Morant. The last few minutes leading up to and the execution by firing squad of Morant and Handcock.
Morant's final words, directed toward the firing squad: "Shoot straight you bastards. Don't make a mess of it."

The real Harry Morant was a poet, amongst many other things. The night before their execution he wrote in the movie, that which is an abridged version of his actual poem:

It really ain't the place nor time to reel off rhyming diction,
But yet we'll write a final rhyme while waiting crucifixion.
As we bequeath a parting tip of sound advice to such men,
Who come across in transport ships to polish off the Dutchmen.
If you encounter any Boers you really must not loot 'em,
And if you hope to leave these shores, for pity sake, don't shoot 'em!
Let€™s toss a bumper down our throat
Before we pass to heaven,
And toast: €œThe trim-set petticoat
We leave behind in Devon.€

Meet Joe Black!!!

The scene when Anthony Hopkins was dancing with his daughter played by Claire Forlani for the last time knowing hes going to be dead very soon and she has no idea at all. Never fails to get me everytime...

oh my god statuesque.... that is so damn sad... and when she was trying to look for her father... but he's gone... awwwww

[rossco]

Soldier Blue

I also agree re Broadway/West End Musicals. Les Miserables/Miss Saigon were superb

But to be really sad (not tearful) is to see George W.... on any screen - that IS sad.
