Buzzfeed recently released an article listing 14 movie scenes that have definitely left us all "scarred for life" and with good reason -- they're creative masterpieces! Personally, my inner child is still not over the death in "Bridge to Terabithia" and that's just one of the many movie scenes my heart has yet to heal from.

I mean, you know you're watching a great movie when you find yourself deep into your emotions while trying so hard not to cry and giving yourself a headache in the process. Although those 14 scenes never fail to leave us sobbing hysterically, 14 is just not enough. Neither are 11 more since we all know the list is endless -- and so are our tears. Anyways, here are 11 additional heartwrenching scenes you've probably watched and will never forget. Cue tears.

1. When the young boys in "The Boy in the Striped Pajamas" meet their end together.

2. When Artax sinks into the Swamp of Sadness (i.e. the deep abyss of death) in "The Neverending Story."

3. When John Coffey is executed in the electric chair in "The Green Mile."

4. When Little Foot's mother passes away after her battle with a T-rex in "The Land Before Time."

5. When old age and sickness takes over Carl's wife Ellie in "Up."

6. When Widow Tweed leaves Tod behind in "The Fox and the Hound."

7. When Harry says goodbye to A.J. in "Armageddon."

8. When Will Smith's only and long-time companion Sam is choked to death in "I Am Legend."

9. When, in "Interstellar," Cooper watches himself in the fifth dimension leave Murphy and tells her to not to let him leave. "Make him stay Murph!"

10. Or when Cooper is watching 23 years of footage after returning from Miller's planet. Double heartbreak.

11. When Snape's heartbreaking story and secret devotion to Harry is revealed as he is dying in "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2."

Supportive and spontaneous human beings are the best.

Theater Kids

Throughout school, the theater department has always been my go-to place with go-to people when I need advice, a dance party, or just someone to listen to me vent.

You never know what's going to happen when you're dealing with theatre or what kind of characters you'll encounter. We have too much fun doing anything! One time in my senior year acting class, we spent an entire class period watching Bob's Burgers, and it was the greatest class period ever.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.
