Tear Jerker / Big Fish

• While it's immediately followed by a funny moment, Mr. Soggybottom's clear sadness about potentially having to kill his Boss and Close Friend-turned Werewolf is evident on his face as he aims the silver-bullet-loaded revolver at him. He was also clearly saddened by accidentally shooting Edward as well, but thankfully everything resolved itself for the better within moments.
• Edward's death, reasonably. "Exactly..."
  • The circumstances around it are equally saddening: it's William telling Edward a ribald story about how the two escape from the hospital after Edward suddenly makes a recovery. William then carries Edward through the woods into the river, where everyone from his tall tales is there to applaud him. When William lets Edward go, he becomes the big fish.
• When Sandra joins Edward in the bath, but starts to cry ("I don't think I'll ever dry out") comes to mind.
• Young Sandra's reaction when the Army gives her Edward's death notice.
• When Will gives Edward his "proper ending".
  • The hitch in Will's voice when he calls his mother moments later when his father dies.
• If you're especially close with your father, the entire movie.
  • Doubly so if your father has passed on.
    • Even more so, if you were close, but never quite managed to achieve closure on the issues that were between you.
• The credits song "Man of the Hour" by Pearl Jam.
• Imagine this: you've spent 3 years and been through a whole lot of hell to try and find the girl of your dreams that you only saw for a single moment. When you finally track her down, you go up to her and propose your love to her, only for her to respond saying that she's already engaged. That sucks.
• Don and Zachy seeing how they die. "I wasn't old at all!"
