Saddest movie songs?
You know, the ones in movies that suddenly make you cry.
Jessie's Song in Toy Story 2 really took me out given I expected a pretty happy movie.
Any others?

i can't think of one that's actually made me cry, but "Needle in the Hay" playing over Luke Wilson's suicide attempt in the Royal Tenenbaums is particularly depressing.

I've never cried during a movie, but two songs that come to mind are Gary Jules' "Mad World" from the end of Donnie Darko and Aimee Mann's "Save Me" from the end of Magnolia. What's interesting is that the former was a replacement for a U2 song that the director couldn't get the rights to.

It doesn't really make me cry, but "Comfortably Numb" on Pink Floyd's The Wall always makes me feel kind of empty. It's weird, because it's one of my favorite songs, and I think it's really beautiful, but I hate the way it makes me feel.

You must cry a lot.

"Knockin' on Heaven's Door" in Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid. I never appreciated the song until I saw it in the movie. I didn't like the movie all that much, either. But what a knockout scene.
