The ultimate tearjerker! The weepiest scenes in movie history
John Coffey's (Michael Clarke Duncan) final utterance before his execution in The Green Mile, 'I'm tired boss,' is in third place with 39%.
Rounding out the top five are Forrest Gump's visit to Jenny's grave (36%), and the emotional scene in Schindler's List in which Oskar Schindler (Liam Neeson) wishes he could have saved more of his Jewish workers from the Nazis (35%).

While once we would have wept as Rose and Jack parted forever in the cinema, vast numbers of us are now reduced to tears by films we watch on our phones.
An astonishing seven in ten Brits (71%) have cried at a film or TV show while watching on their devices.
Four in ten say they have been caught crying in public while watching something emotional on their phone, with more than a quarter (26%) saying they tried to cover up their tears.
That's despite 56% of us saying crying at emotional programmes or movies has become more socially acceptable than it used to be.
Annika Bizon, Samsung mobile experience vice president of product and marketing, said: 'These findings show that people are deeply connected to what they watch, no matter where they are. Whether you're on a plane, a train, or anywhere in between, a phone screen can deliver that powerful, emotional entertainment experience.'
The survey also revealed 47% of Brits watch more than five hours of movies on their phone every week.
From this month, Brits can do this on the new Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7, which features a cinematic 8-inch display.
Bizon added: 'The expansive screen of our new Galaxy Z Fold7 promises that immersive viewing experience on the go, whether you are a film fanatic, gamer or a bit of both.'

My hubby transformed our shed into a ‘dream' nail salon – bargains from Homebase & IKEA made it look so glam on a budget
Plus, scroll down for rules on converting sheds GLOSS BOSS My hubby transformed our shed into a 'dream' nail salon – bargains from Homebase & IKEA made it look so glam on a budget Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A WOMAN has revealed that her husband transformed a shell of a shed into a glamorous nail salon. Now, Nicola Vacher-Smith, who is the founder of Sanctuary Twelve, a garden studio located in Blyth, Northumberland, now just has to walk a few steps down her garden to get to work. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 A nail technician has revealed a before and after look of her garden studio Credit: TikTok/@nicolavachersmith 2 What was once a shell of a shed is now a fully functioning beauty space - and we think it looks fabulous Credit: TikTok/@nicolavachersmith Not only does she have a gorgeous space to welcome clients into, but according to the nail technician and beauty therapist, it is a very 'relaxing' and 'calm' environment. Nicola, who is from Newcastle, took to social media to share a step-by-step process of her shed renovation, leaving many open-mouthed. Alongside the post, Nicola confirmed that her husband, who she described as her 'best friend,' 'biggest supporter' and even 'content model', did all of the work himself, as she beamed: 'Husband appreciation post.' What was once an empty shed has since been given a mega makeover and now is a jaw-dropping beauty salon. And not only do people think it looks 'beautiful' but others have said it is their 'dream' to have something similar in their garden. In the short clip, we saw Nicola's husband take on the hefty DIY job, as he first started off by insulating the space. Following this he then plastered and painted the walls. But that wasn't all - to make the shed super trendy, he then added panelling too. Thrilled with her new at-home salon, Nicola beamed: 'From the shell of a shed to a fully functioning salon, I'm obsessed!!' Reflecting on the shed's new look, she also added: 'What a transformation it is.' I was sick of paying rent so moved into a shed at the bottom of my garden Nicola later confirmed that she got the 9.5ft by 13ft shed from Northern Garden Sheds, a company based in Blaydon-on-Tyne. While she went local for her natural oak flooring, for the paint colours, her man used Dulux paint in the shade Caramel Sand 5 on the panelling and the Peace shade from Homebase's own range, on the walls. Do I need planning permission to convert my shed? CONVERTING an existing shed or outbuilding into a self-contained living space will usually require you apply for planning permission. However, there is a "loophole" Brits can use to convert outbuildings into a tiny home without permission. Planning expert Martin Gaine from Just Planning warned the conversion process is far easier than you may think. Speaking to The Sun, the Chartered Town Planner of 14 years' experience explained: "An outbuilding can be built using 'permitted development rights', meaning it does not need planning permission. "As long as you comply with the various restrictions and conditions." One of these is that the outbuilding can only be used for something 'ancillary' to your main living accommodation - examples include storage, a gym or a pool room. If the outbuilding is existing, converting it then into primary living accommodation IS allowed. Martin explained: "This is because internal changes to an existing building are not considered to be development at all under the Town and Country Planning Act. But like anything, there is one catch. The new living accommodation must still have some connection with your use of the main house. For instance, if your gran is living out there, she must still come into the house to eat. To accessorise the space, she nabbed her sideboard and chair from Daals and got her desk and lamp from IKEA. She also got a mirror and a stand from B&M, as well as a gorgeous vase from TK Maxx. Social media users react Nicola's TikTok clip, which was posted under the username @nicolavachersmith, has clearly left many open-mouthed, as it has quickly racked up 436,900 views. Not only this, but it's also amassed 49,000 likes, 192 comments and 6,296 saves. It looks absolutely gorgeous TikTok user Social media users were incredibly impressed by Nicola's garden studio and many eagerly raced to the comments to express this. One person said: 'This is stunning.' Another added: 'This is my dream.' A third commented: 'This is beautiful.' Meanwhile, someone else beamed: 'It looks absolutely gorgeous.'

Anthony Anderson addresses resurfaced ‘sexual' comments to Lindsay Lohan, 17
Anthony Anderson has addressed an uncomfortable interview he conducted with an underaged Lindsay Lohan in 2003, which resurfaced online this week. The actor and comedian, 54, was guest hosting The Sharon Osbourne Show in the 22-year-old clip, which has gone viral online. Anderson, who was 33 at the time while Lohan was 17, was discussing how she had recently moved in with fellow Disney star and friend Raven-Symoné and went on to make a series of sexualised comments. 'Both of you are beautiful women. Both of you are young and have your individual styles,' Anderson told Lohan. He then asked: 'What gentlemen will be at the new pad with you and Raven-Symoné?' Lohan replied 'no one' to Anderson's question, emphasising that she did not have a boyfriend. After Anderson told viewers that Lohan is 'single but looking', Lohan put her hand up and looked at the viewers to say: 'But I'm illegal for people that are old.' 'Well, you know, some men like them young,' Anderson replied. 'We ain't gonna mention no names, but, you know, I'm one of them.' In the resurfaced clip, Anderson also told Lohan that both he and his kids loved her in the 1998 film The Parent Trap. 'You've grown up a whole lot since then,' he then told her, with his hand on her knee. Since the clip started to gain traction online, with many labelling the interview style inappropriate towards underage Lohan, Anderson's representative has responded on the comedian's behalf. 'This interview was clearly intended as comedy,' Anderson's rep said in a statement to People. More Trending 'He regrets if the humor was in poor taste and maintains the utmost respect for Lindsay. Any implication to the contrary is both inaccurate and potentially defamatory.' Lohan has yet to respond to the viral 2003 interview, which resurfaced as she promotes the upcoming sequel to her Freak Friday movie, Freakier Friday, where she stars alongside Jamie Lee Curtis. Anderson has been accused of sexual assault on three different occasions, but has never been charged and has denied the allegations. Metro contacted Lindsay Lohan's representative for comment.
