11 Of The Most Heartbreaking Movie Moments From The '90s That Will Still Make You Cry Today

The Iron Giant

It does make it a bit weird to get weepy over this scene knowing that Vin Diesel is the voice behind the 50-foot-tall robot from outer space. Watching the big guy sacrifice himself in order to protect his friends was truly heartbreaking.

"You stay...I go....No following."

Titanic

You had to know that Titanic made the list. Two decades after this movie came out, this scene still makes people cry over Jack's death. Plus, we still kind of hate Kate Winslet for breaking her promise of never letting go.

My Girl

I will never understand why the young Anna Chlumsky did not win an Oscar for this movie. Her story was already sad as she was a little girl growing up in a funeral home, but the whole "where is his glasses?" scene was and still is absolutely gut-wrenching.

Romeo + Juliet

How does one take one of history's saddest tales ever written and make it even more heartbreaking? This movie turned an extremely old play into a romantic tragedy that modern teenagers were able to fall in love with, and they all shed a tear over this scene.

Edward Scissorhands

If you watched this movie as a kid, you might have been a bit creeped out. As an adult, you can appreciate the use of Burton's dark humor. That is until you get to the end and you end up crying your eyes out.

Toy Story 2

Pixar has developed a reputation for adding super sad scenes to their movies, but no one was prepared to ugly cry over a toy cowgirl.

Homeward Bound

There is a happy reunion in the end when these pets finally find their way home, but we were totally heartbroken every time Shadow fell in that muddy pit. It really seemed like he would never get out of it.

The Lion King

Watching Simba react to his father's death, knowing that he caused it, was perhaps the most heartbreaking thing to see as a kid. As excited as I am for the remake to come out, I do not know if I am mentally prepared to see this happen all over again.

A Walk to Remember

There really are not a whole lot of happy moments in this movie about a teenager who is doomed to die despite finding love. Knowing that Landon built this telescope just for Jamie along with the music and the proposal made this a scene perfect for turning on the waterworks.

Stepmom

Plenty of parents grabbed this movie and brought it home thinking it would help their kids understand why they were splitting up. Instead, they ended up traumatizing their kids with a movie about saying goodbye to a dying mom.

Forrest Gump

When you first saw this movie your reaction was probably a little bit like this...

Ugh, why are my parents making me watch this boring movie. Oh, this is actually pretty funny. Wow, Vietnam is scary. What, why is Jenny dead? This isn't fair, they were supposed to be together forever!

Then, you cried through the rest of the movie.
