Scientists trying to identify film clips that could “reliably elicit a strong emotional response” in the lab spent years testing hundreds of different clips on subjects only to discover that the secret lay in a young Ricky Schroder. So anyway, this is (officially and scientifically) the saddest scene in any movie ever. It's from 1979's The Champ and it has spoilers. Spoiler #1: It's sad as fuck. Add yours if you can think of something sadder. Are we going to let those meddling scientists tell us when to cry? Hell no. (via avclub.com)
The Crying Wife is one husband's attempt to record his wife's crying sessions following just about any movie they watch. I know it's wrong, but with every sob I just laugh harder and harder. The Crying Wife also cries to other movies, including Back to the Future III [yes, for real]. [via]
