Live Poll: The Saddest Moment Ever

I forgot the death of Marley in Marley and Me

@TheOldJalapenoman​ 

Could you please link images? I'll try to figure out, but it's much more easier when you guys link images for example.

@Breumaster​ I don't know how to do that.  My son sometimes does that for me when he is here, but I won't see him until Monday or Tuesday because he is now out of town visiting other family.  Yes, I am old and a ludite and a technophobe.  I could never program a digital watch or a vcr or set the clock on my microwave.  You may make fun of me now!

From the nineteenth century?

@TheOldJalapenoman​ 

I'm not sure I understand. I thought you were the old  jalapenoman on a new account. But, what you are telling us is that you are jalapenoman's father? Unless you forgot how to use links and thus make polls, I really don't get it. 

@cinephile​ I am the same person, but I have suffered two major strokes and a minor one.  I am now bedridden.  I have lost a lot of memory and a lot of my abilities.  My typing now is basically of the two finger variety.  I also suffer from constant headaches and can't spend much consecutive time in front of the computer.  So.... yes, I have forgotten how to do links and make polls and a lot of other things.  It is very frustrating for me and I get upset at myself a lot,

@TheOldJalapenoman​ 

I'm sorry to hear that.

@TheOldJalapenoman​ 

I understand that, but maybe other users who know the scenes might help us.

@TheOldJalapenoman​ 

I figured out an image of the old yeller. I made up that option and will continue to figure out other of your options.

Added Brian's song.

Added the destroying of the Enterprise by Kirk, Scotty and Chekov.

Got no image for the death of Spock. Sorry, I have to pass here.

@Breumaster​ ,

Spock's Death - Star Trek II: The Wrath Of Khan

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fHAOWLhrxhQ

This is the scene where Spock dies in the original Star Trek movie, where he saves the USS Enterprise and fixes the main engines, and is later sent to the planet that was created by khan after the genesis machine was activated.

Here are some possible images of Spock dying of radiation poisoning in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan (1982).

Spock sealed himself in the room with the main engines.

Spock's casket on the Genesis planet.

@dan_dassow​

Sorry, Dan. I didn't see that. I'll put them on the list and ask for a re-push.

I'm just not sure about the casket. Maybe you tell me a little more. Wasn't it that he was found and revived? That isn't sad, is it?

@mariojacobs​ 

Please link an image. Thank you.

@mariojacobs​ 

Thank you, mario. :D

In regards to Ghost, I felt that the sad moment was Sam being shot to death in the first place, whereas the ending was a essentially happy ending. I mean, we as an audience kind of knew he wasn't going to be brought back to life, based upon the established mechanics of spirit world in the movie.

@cinephile​ Ford is my favorite director of all time.  

I would suggest this Ford film:  At the end of Mister Roberts when they learn that the Henry Ford character has died.

@cinephile​ 

Thank you very much for your input. I know that you are very experienced with old cinematic movies, which many people of today are not. I'm half-half. I would like to wait for the image you loaded up for your pick number one to put it also on the list. I've put the other three on the list now. Please could you do me a favor and try to compact the lines a little? I tried with my own suggestions to come close to the point with as less words as I could use and I think that people will remember by keywords when they have watched the movies. Thank you, cinephile! :D

@Breumaster ,

For your consideration:

Bambi (1942)

When Bambi's mother dies:

= = =

The Yearling (1946)

After the American Civil War, a rebel soldier and his wife become pioneer farmers in Florida. Their son Jody is 11 years old. Jody is allowed to keep a fawn as a pet. The boy and the deer are soon inseparable. The fawn grows quickly, and as a yearling tramples tobacco shoots and eats the newly-sprouted corn. Jody's parents force him to shoot the fawn.

Penny Serenade (1941)

Roger and Julie's adopted daughter, Trina, dies of an unexpected illness towards the end of the film.

@dan_dassow​ 

Thank you, Dan, corrected the list's title and added cinephile's picks, waiting for the upload of his  number 1.

@dan_dassow​ 

I'll put them on the list, Dan. Great picks! I had the death of Bambi on my list, too at firs, but then I remembered of Ellie's death and it became clear that it was much more sad to me.

@dan_dassow​ 

Dan, I tried to compact the text of "The Yearling" somehow, but I guess I didn't succeed. Can you tell me, if it still matches the content? I have no prolem to compact content to lesser words in German, but in English it's unequal difficult to me.

@Breumaster​ ,

1. Thank you for updating the title.

2. Thank you for adding my suggestions.

3. I apologize for being verbose for "The Yearling". Please make this edit for "The Yearling":

From:

The 11-year-old Jody was allowed by is parents to raise a abandoned fawn. Later his parents forced him to shoot the grown-up deer, because it crossed human rules.

To:

Eleven-year-old Jody was allowed by his farmer parents to raise an abandoned fawn. Later his parents forced him to shoot the grown-up deer, because it ate their crops.

@dan_dassow​ 

Thank you, Dan. I corrected the option.

@Breumaster​ ,

Thank you for updating the caption for "The Yearling"

@mariojacobs​ Sorry, but this isn't ringing any bells this morning.  Let me think on it.

@mariojacobs​ Maybe one of the Navaronne movies?  Maybe The Heroes of Telemark?  That's all I can come up with right now.  Part of my mind is remembering the end credits of The Great Escape where it shows all of the main actors one by one, but that isn't the scene you are describing.

@mariojacobs​ and @TheOldJalapenoman​ ,

The Guns of Navarone (1961) was my first thought.

Other possibilities:

The Devil's Brigade (1968)

• During World War II, a special fighting unit is formed that combines a crack Canadian Army unit and a conglomeration of U.S. Army misfits who had previously served time in military jails. After an initial period of conflict between the two groups, their enmity turns to respect and friendship, and the unit is sent Italy to attempt a dangerous mission that has heretofore been considered impossible to carry out.

@dan_dassow​ 

I'm not so into old movies. I watched many of them on TV when I was <12 years, but that's long ago. If you got suggestions, please do with image-examples and short description-text. Thank you. :D

@dan_dassow​ @TheOldJalapenoman thank you, now I am going on a binge of WW2 movies this week. By the way, my favorite WW2 movie is The Birdmen with Richard Basehart (Admiral Nelson - Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea).

One more sad moment: the Elephant man being harassed by the night porter and his friends.

@mariojacobs​ The Birdment is one that I remember enjoying.  I saw it when it originally came out.

@TheOldJalapenoman​ 

>The Birdment is one that I remember enjoying.  I saw it when it originally came out.

now, my favorite war movie in general is The Wild Geese 1978 with Richard Burton and Roger Moore. By the way, the mercy killing of Richard Harris made me very sad and uneasy...

@mariojacobs​ 

Thank you! Can you please give me an image? The line is perfect for the option, I guess.

@riverotter​ 

What a greatly sad moment! Thank you, riverotter! :( It's on the list now.

@nazmi_altintas​ 

Great, thank you. I remember slightly on all three movies and know that I cried on all three, but it's a big time ago, I saw them. The most I remember on "mo chuisle", which really was heart breaking. I still need images and the text/quotes, because I'm not always sure that the images I'd pick match the scenes. Incendies I don't remember, but I link some qualities to it and slightly remember it was sad. I shuld re-watch it.

@nazmi_altintas​ 

All added. Thank you.

@cinephile​ 

The text is a little overhanging. Can you compact it a little? ... Couples being separated always is a kind of sad, the more if it is a because of one of them died. Please dramatize it in smal words. 

@Breumaster​ 

My image from Two English Girls has been posted to IMDb, it will be my 4th pick (remove the Human Condition)

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0066989/mediaviewer/rm1374698241

Compact descriptions of my four picks

Two English Girls picture: Muriel is attracted to Claude, but so is her sister. She sees them happy, she doesn't want to interfere, so she turns her head. She does what does best, repressing her emotions, by doing so she also kills her passion as represented by the flame disappearing from her glasses.

Winter Light picture: Marta, the atheist, comforts priest Tomas in his crisis of faith. She doesn't care about god but has a crush on him. Like practically all Bergman women, she is very motherly.

Au Hasard Balthazar picture: Marie was stripped, beaten, probably raped, and locked in a room. There are no apparent reasons for it her treatment mirrors Bathalzar's. Both were too kind and pure for our cruel world. Both are saints.

The Searchers picture: Ethan Edwards brings Debbie home. The family is reunited and happy. But, he is excluded from that community or he excludes himself. The mistakes he made are unredeemable (according to him). 

@cinephile​ 

Thank you, very much, cinephile. I will add the shortened descriptions.

@Peter_pbn​ 

Corrected. 

"To avoid spoilers, I would keep the descriptions short. They only have to be understood by someone who has already seen the film."

That was my intention. Not only because of hiding spoiler, but also because some people don't like to read so much. I can hide the description behind spoiler bars. Should I? Do you have a short description for the scene of 'Sophie's Choice'? Thank you, Peter. :D

@Breumaster​ 

My description was "Sophie's choice".

@Peter_pbn​ 

Sorry. I didn't get that right. I'll add it to the option.

@jeorj_euler​ 

Should I add it? It should be really heartbreaking. I didn't see that movie, but I count on your verdict.

I should hope that somebody else can vouch, because I'm mainly looking at how it felt to me empathizing with the main character. Unlike a lot of the other candidates, the ending of Gardens of the Night doesn't involve a confirmed death, but rather an uncomfortable loose end that could be resolved in a day, a week, a month, a year, a decade or never.. In a way, there is more than one sad moment in the movie.

How about American History X? Have you ever seen that?

I wonder if I can think of a movie whereby the overall story isn't a tragedy but only one little piece is very tragic.

@jeorj_euler​ 

Very good pick. The ending was really sad. I'll search for an image of American History X, the end.

@jeorj_euler​ 

It's on the list now.

@Breumaster​ 

... And I'll put spoiler bars on the options for users who don't want to get spoiled.

@Pencho15​ 

I've put them on the list, but I made up the rule that it only should be 2 animated per user. So I should refuse one of them. Which would you most likely wipe if you should? I would keep The Lion King scene, because many people are big fans of the movie and the scene was heart tearing.

@Breumaster​ If you want to delete one, Toy Story 3 was sadder for me than Inside Out (and it has an extra tear jerker scene when they are about to be incinerated which I didn't suggest to avoid two from the same movie).

Altought if you don't credit me as suggesting them, which you don't have to, then there's no harm keeping both, I've know people that get emotional with Bing-Bong's demise and I saw the scene in a couple of web pages mentioning sad movie scenes.

@Pencho15​ 

Pencho, I count you as a very good buddy. I changed the rule to maximum 3 animated per user. So it stays in. I formerly limited it to a maximum of 2 to avoid getting a flood of animated pushing away more serious movies out, but now there are so many good real movies, so I can get more open for animated.

@jeorj_euler​ 

Can you please tell me about? I don't remember even though a little bell rings in the background when watching the image.

O, it's an American movie known as Boyz in da Hood, and toward the end some jerks roll up on the protagonists and terminally injures one of them, due to some kind of petty feud. I assumed it would be easy since you're familiar with One Eight Seven, so loosely belonging to the same genre.

@jeorj_euler​ 

It's many years ago, I saw it. Inbetween I saw so many movies that I lost it, somehow. It's the magic of our brain that decides itself what is more important at the moment. So we lose data constantly by biological progress.

@jeorj_euler​ 

I've put it on the list. I hope my description fits.

@Jessica​ 

Thank you. Corrected.

@Breumaster​ ,

Thank you for making the corrections.

@dan_dassow​ 

Thank you, Dan. Thank you, Buddies. :D
