THAT Inside Out scene with Bing Bong came out of nowhere, and it ruined me.
We asked the BuzzFeed Community to tell us which sad movie moments completely caught them off guard. Here are the emotional results.
🚨 Spoilers ahead, people! 🚨
1. In Avengers: Endgame, when Tony sacrificed himself to save everyone and bring back the people who were lost in The Blip, and Peter and Pepper said their tearful goodbyes.

"I was not expecting Tony Stark to go out like that. The goodbyes to him made me cry, along with the funeral scene. I’ve seen every Avengers movie in the theater, and it felt like I was saying goodbye to a friend at the end of this one. I was devastated."

2. In A Star Is Born, when Ally sang Jackson's unfinished song as a tribute to him after his death, and then the camera abruptly cut to the first time he played it for her.

"His death wasn't a surprise if you've seen any of the other movies, and Ally's final ballad is totally heart-wrenching, so it's totally appropriate for people to get teary as she sings his farewell song. BUT the moment that I did not see coming was when the camera cut directly from Ally's performance to Jackson singing it for her at the piano for the very first time. I just didn't see that transition coming at all, and it really hit me."

3. In Remember Me, when the love story was finally coming together, but then the camera zoomed out to randomly reveal that Robert Pattinson's character was in one of the Twin Towers on 9/11, and he died.

"The 9/11 twist in Remember Me really wrecked me. I cried because, like, who was expecting that???"

11. In Knives Out, when Marta found out that Harlan's death was avoidable, and he would have survived if he simply listened to her about calling 9-1-1.

12. In Inside Out, when Bing Bong sacrificed himself so Joy could save Riley, and he faded away forever.

"Inside Out hurt me. A lot. Bing Bong was assumed to be the comic relief character who we needed to move the story along — he wasn’t meant to die! As he just slowly faded away and said, 'Take her to the moon for me, okay?' it broke my heart. It was the first time I ever cried in a movie theater, and it was full-on BAWLING. 😭"
