11 Movie Scenes That Like To Tug At Your Heartstrings

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."

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
