Made me cry:
Gotta be Schindler's List. That movie was so goddamn sad, and I just started sobbing when I saw that splash of red color. You know when. Ooof. A masterpiece I will never watch again.
For a more recent example, I watched the second season of Arcane. Lots of sad scenes, but anyone else who has watched it knows the most heart-wrenching one:
spoiler
Cried manly tears when Isha sacrificed herself to save Jinx.
Left me disturbed:
Another Spielberg movie, Saving Private Ryan. Didn't cry when the Nazi soldier sloooooowly stabbed Mellish to death. But afterwards, I had nightmares about it for months. Cripes, what a brutal death scene.
are you sure that what made you cry in Schindler's List is "fictional"?
I still need my Suspension of Belief, here, or I'll hate people even more. I came out of the cinema enraged and ashamed and so- well, just prickly I guess.
It’s been 25 years since I first read it and I’m still not ok with the fact that Old Dan and Little Ann didn’t make it.
I buried Little Ann by the side of Old Dan. I knew that was where she wanted to be. I also buried a part of my life along with my dog.
This is all spoilers, spoiler tagging doesn't really work so proceed with caution
Several from the Misborn series really hurt. I think Vin's death most affected me, but Kelsier was a hard one to swallow as well.
I think the biggest impact though is probably from Swan Song? Sister Creep hit me so hard. I read the book young and I'd never read anything so bittersweet and hopeful but so painful. It really stamped some new emotions in me I think.
Or, gosh, almost anyone in Bly Manor, but especially Dani.

I started reading Dragonlance novels around 10 years old. When I got my hands on the third main one (IIRC), one of the main characters who's a knight died and that impacted me for quite some time.
When the older character in the first(?) book dies, it hit me like a ton of bricks the first time around.

spoiler-title
the alien seems to die in the middle. I saw it in theaters and im like. this is the best movie ever for awhile anyway. I had a similar reaction to the first episode of supernatural
Tinkerbell and all of her friends dying in Tinkerbell and the Neverbeast.
If you know, you know. If you don't, it's an 'unconventional' explanation.
Rose from Please Like Me. Probably partly because my mum also has bipolar.
Oh this was such a rough fictional death for me, too.
I think it was because I was hopeful for her character.
............. which time? he's died in like, 3 of them now
Dors Venabili
The protagonist in Farewell My Concubine. And then again when he suicided in real life
Ofelia
The character who died in Sea of Stars made me and my kid cry. Not saying more.
Alzire Maheu in Germinal. Thinking on it now maybe that's one of the reasons I'm pro union
It’s a constant stream but most recently it was Swindler from Akudama Drive because she didn’t deserve anything that happened to her.
