Okay... we've got something for saddest song... let's expand upon it...

In ANY Media (TV, Movies, Books, Music, etc)... what moment has been so powerful that it has moved you to tears... or at least the verge of tears...

Movies -- Armageddon - the whole thing w/ Bruce Willis & Liv Tyler towards the end of the movie always chokes me up

Books -- Harry Potter & The Goblet of Fire - Yes, I was actually moved to tears when I read GoF... especially that ending... how could you not be?

The Sixth Sense -- During the play; the friendship between Bruce and Haley's characters was bittersweet.

A.I. -- the very end, where David and his mother go to sleep (with Teddy climbing up to join them).

The ending of Justice League Adventures #8 -- Chronos saying goodbye to his brother.

Star Trek: Imzadi -- the reunion scene between the Deanna Troi and the future Riker.

I cried at the end of the movie "Smoke signals" when thomas -bulids-the-fire was reading that poem "how do we forgive our fathers".

I think I might have cried during "devine secrets of the Ya-Ya sisterhood"....its a chick thing I suppose

and I know I cried when I watch "South Park, bigger, longer, and uncut" from laughing so hard!

I am a sentimental sap when it comes to kids and animals, to the point where it's a bit embarrassing. Romance stories, deaths... they don't really get to me as a boy and dog can. :p

Movies:
Air Bud - the scene where the boy tries to let his dog go, but the dog won't.
A Little Princess - About a little girl instead of a boy and no dogs, but from the beginning to the end it was just waterworks from me.
Old Yeller - :(

TV:
There was a episode of Breed All About it on Animal Planet and it featured Collies. It's just a profile on Collies and my eyes were watering. They were showing scenes from Lassie where the little boy got thrown across the room by some guy and Lassie came to the rescue.

Books:
Where the Red Fern Grows - another story about dogs and a boy. Sad, sad ending. :(

Aren't I pathetic? :o

Movies:

Free Willy - Seriously, you do not know how much I cried during this movie. I first saw it when I was, like, 10 years old, and I didn't cry as much as I did when was on a couple of months ago. It was that sad :(

Moulin Rouge - Don't even get me started. The ending had me in tears.

Snoopy, Come Home! - The scene when Snoopy leaves Charlie Brown and goes back to Lila always gets me choked up.

TV Shows:

Cowboy Bebop - Sessions 24 and 26, of course. No need to go on there ;)

Yay, I'm not the only one who gets choked up in that Armaggedon scene! My mom and I seriously weep there, it's funny as heck. I could be walking in the door and it's on right as Ben's character is banging against the glass and yelling at Bruce's character...I'll watch it for a few moments and feel tears welling up in my eyes in a moment...heck, it's happening now just thinking about it! The ending in Moulin Rouge seems to get to me too. His sobbing is just so intense I can't help but start crying. LOTR: FOTR, the Boromir death scene with Aragorn always gets me crying. Aragorn is so hot and awesome...and seeing him so emotional is just...ack...*wipes eyes* too much....god is he cute when he's sad. Hmmm, Old Yeller is pretty dang depressing as well. My mom wouldn't let me watch it for the longest time, and when I finally did, I realized why she didn't want me to! I seriously never ever watch that movie because I can't take the ending. The Lion King....oh come on, like some of you didn't cry when Mufasa died. That has me balling like a child, then again I was a child when it came out. Whenever that movie's on at that part, I leave the room.

Hmmm, two mentions of Cowboy Bebop....I MUST see those two episodes! *makes a note to borrow Bebop from Otaku buddies*

I've never started all out bawling, but I've teared up watching a bunch of movies.

Glory, when Matthew Broderick gets shot and Cary Elwes and Morgan Freeman start the last charge.

Saving Private Ryan, the bookends really get to me, in the beginning when the old man drops to his knees and he starts sobbing, and the end where Tom Hanks tells Matt Damon to "earn it" and the old man asks his wife if he's been a good person. That's such a sad movie.

Iron Giant, hey Adam you're not the only one! ;) I think there's a bunch of us who teared up during the Giant's final speech.

A couple scenes in LOTR: FOTR nearly brought me to tears.

I know there's more...

Patrick Bateman

Oh yeah, I also cried after watching Batman being made to look campy in "Batman & Robin" (Well, not really. I actually used a string of words not suitable here at TZ :D ).

Shnay

10-16-2002, 12:21 AM

Oh man, I'm a bit ashamed to admit this, but I'm really a sucker when it comes to this kind of stuff.

Movies and tv shows are one thing. They've got a great number of tools to make a scene sad. There's music, setting, images, and, of course, acting, to make you really get the ol' lump in your throat. I get choked up over a number of movies. What I'd be interested in hearing is if music has ever moved anyone to tears. In my opinion, that's a much harder thing to do.

There have only been a few songs that have been able to do this to me:

"If You See Her, Say Hello" by Bob Dylan. A classic story of lost love, but what makes this one stand out is the undeniabley painful mood in the music, the lyrics, his voice, and the entire album. When he sings that the night she left still brings him a chill, I really (forgive the cliche) feel his pain.

"Let Down" by Radiohead. This song has an incredible amount of significane to me, personally, as it said a great deal to me in what may have been the hardest time in my life. So that, of course, factors into it, but even without that sentimental attatchment, I think I'd still be teary-eyed over this one. Again, there's just so much passion in the singer's voice as he sings lyrics about despair that I can't help but feel that despair myself.

"Now I Let it Go" by Moby. If the sound of sadness was ever epitomied by a song, this is that song. It's entirely instrumental (with just a violin and a piano, I believe) and yet it still gets me every time. I swear, that violin is weaping . Because it's only two instruments, and it had that power over me, I'd say it's the most powerful musical arrangement I've heard.

So, there you have it. Also, though there are many movies that get me, two that come immediately to mind that nobody's mentioned yet are "The Champ" and "Grave of the Fireflies."

Hey I'm not the only one! That too broke me up, I probably would have cried if it hadn't been that I was in a room full of students.
"Hey Victor...................."(sorry Ijust had to say it.)

The end of Life is Beautiful, it was sad but happy.

A River runs through it- Arghh... I can't remember the movie that much, but I remember it really made me cry, it must have come towards the end, when Brad Bitts character died, I can't believe I forgot.

The Last of the Mohicans

The Crucible- The last scene was just too sad with Proctor, Goody Nurse, and Goody Osbourne.

Tenchi Muyo- When the girls think Tenchi was murdered by Kagato.

Fushigi Yugi- When Tamahomoe comes home to see that his familys been slaughtered.

Kaworus Death (NGE)
umm... thats it, this thread is just too sad.

10-16-2002, 12:38 AM

AK girly, what do you mean 'in a room full of students' are you a student or a teacher?

I haven't seen life is beautiful...

Oh yeah, I just thought of another movie I cried at:

'Still Crazy' (its a brit movie) when les is singing "and the flame still burns"

for me, its songs/movies that hit "close to home" that get me all teared up.

and to whom ever mentioned a league of their own..right on! That movie was a tear jerker (as well as maddona's best "acting" aside from "evita")

BayouLady,I would recommend seeing Life Is Beautiful. Easily one of the most amazing foreign films ever. I think it can touch a cord with just about everyone.

I totally forgot how somber I was afterwards, and the little boy coming out and seeing the camp deserted and when I realized his dad was really gone, well...that had me tearing up quite fast.

1. Towards the end of Forrest Gump, when Jenny died, and Forrest had the letter from their son that he put on the grave, and the birds flew away...

2. Whoever cried at the end of Armageddon, you're not alone!!! I bawled like a baby!

I'm sure there are more, but I can't think of them rite now... :rolleyes:

Hmmm...lots of movies have made me come close to tears, but I never went over the edge. For me, getting that close is about the same, anyway - I just get overcome with this warm fuzzy feeling of sadness.

Anyhow, I'll try to mention things that aren't Batman-related for once...

-TITANIC - Hey, don't shoot me, but I liked this movie before the hype ruined it. I didn't cry when Jack died, but I did get chills all the way through the movie after it hit the iceberg.

-THE IRON GIANT - Right at the end where he saves the town, believing he's Superman. That's just an amazing sequence.

-THE TRUMAN SHOW - Any time poor ol' Truman gets burned, whether he knows it or not - when he meets his father and especially when he sets sail at the end of the movie.

-TOY STORY 2 - I forget the title of the song Sarah McLaughlin sang, but that part. It's really quite touching.

-THE LION KING - Another great one. I never was upset when Bambi's mother died, but the build-up to Mufasa's death was awesome, with the rampage in the gorge. (And it's that mature writing that makes this the best Disney movie to date, IMHO.)

-THE FOX AND THE HOUND - Yeah, not many people mention this movie, but I thought it was terrific. I didn't know if Todd was going to be shot at the end, honestly - and I have a soft spot for animals. Copper's such a good boy for standing up for his friend. :)

Uhhh, that's all I can think of for now.

-Tim

PS - Oh yeah, I cried when I saw this:

"Arnold Schwarzenegger...George Clooney...Chris O'Donnell...Uma Thurman...Alicia Silverstone...in a Joel Schumacher film..." Nooooooooo!

Bufy the Vampire Season 3 and season 5 finales:

It was so sad to see Buffy have to kill Angel to save the world, because he had just become good again. And in Season 5 when Buffy died, I choked up a little. Death was her gift. I knew she was coming back, because there was going to be a season 6, but still.

Pay it Forward:
When everything seems to be going great, the little boy diesI don't know why it made me cry, but it did. It was so sad.

End of Evangelion: when Misato dies and then the rest of the crew when they turn into LCL. At least the TV ending left me happy, if a little confused, but this ending made me sad.

Moulin Rogue: Watching that guy cry, just made me want to cry too. He had so much pain in him, it was wrong.

Osamu Tezuka's Metropolis

The scene when Tima's memory begins to come back but she falls before she can be pulled to safety combined with that music...if you've seen it, you know what I mean

Star Trek 2 : The Wrath of Kahn.
The scene when spock died (back before we knew there'd be a star trek 3) I still get a little choked up.

DBZ , Vegita's death in the Buu Saga. It just gets to me... I don't know why.

JAG , The episode where they killed off Lt. Bud Roberts. (this year's season opener.) My all time favorite character on that show. He was killed by a land mine... but minutes later, they brought him back. I must say, that he made the most realistic dead man I've ever seen on tv. (I've seen real bodies that looked like they were sleeping, but he looked dead.)

I swear, I nearly had a heart attack when he died. (That character is my ideal of what a good lawyer should be like.)

That's all I'm willing to admit to... for now

Ally McBeal - "Boy Next Door". Ally's lifelong soulmate, friend and fellow lawyer Billy Allan Thomas is giving a closing argument despite having just learned that he has a brain tumour. He speaks of fidelity in marriage, and treasuring the ones you have. Then he turns to face Ally - the woman he's always loved but betrayed by marrying someone else - and says:

"You see that woman? I've loved her my whole life...and when I come home to her and our children...it's everything....It's so everything. I've loved her since we were five...we'll never be apart, and I'll love her...for all my days. All my heart...forever."

Ally, looking on in amazement, quickly realizes he must be hallucinating, and as he crumples to the floor, she runs to his side. Though she desperately tries to revive him, he dies in her arms, and she cries while recalling all their moments together.

Every time I watch it....I cry. That's what real love is about...it shouldn't matter what obstacles stand in your way, or if you've made mistakes...all that matters is the love we have in our hearts, even if we never get to share it.

One more thing: DID ANYBODY ELSE LOSE IT DURING THE PATRIOT???

I felt like such a moron! I went to see it with my family, and the theatre is filled with couples on dates...and I spent most of the first half of the film trying to keep it under control...but when Mel Gibsons's daughter - the one who refused to speak to him - suddenly turned back and starting crying for him and ran into his arms....I totally broke down! :o It was so sad!!! From that point on, I cried through the rest of the movie! I must have been the only male in the entire theatre wiping my eyes! :o Please tell me I wasn't the only one!!!

This reminded me of a TV moment. The "News Radio" episode about Phil Hartman's death. The whole cast is really broken up, and while they're talking about the character "Bill" there's no confusion as to who their tears are really for. So, so sad...

The reason the above quote reminded me of this was because Hartman said more or less that exact quote on "News Radio."

I also cried during the end of Armageddon and The Fox and the Hound. (Okay, I was like six when I saw that movie.)

The West Wing's second Christmas episode, "Noel." It's not even what happened to Josh at the Christmas party. It's Leo's story about a man who falls in a hole.

The penultimate scene of the series finale of First Wave. It was so sweet and so sad.

I cried during a few movies, including The Santa Clause and Paulie. Yes, I am sad.

I know I sobbed at the end of The Iron Giant:
"Superman...."

Jupiter Jazz Part II (Bowboy Bebop)- I lost it, I seriously did. Gren's death was just so depressing.

Grave of the Fireflies- It's to heartbreaking NOT to cry for. "Look, Niisan, I made you rice cakes." Damn.....

Amistad- You HAD to feel sorry for those Africans, there was just no way around it.

Cyrano de Bergerac- An entire class full of French students (of which I was one) burst into tears at the end. Gerard Depardieu made Cyrano's last words absolutely beautiful, and seeing Roxanne break down made us all miserable.

Finding Forrester- The ending was so sad and wonderful at the same time...

Osamu Tezuka's Metropolis- The ending, as Zmanjz mentioned, but I also thought Rock's descent into insanity was depressing.

I know there is much more then this, but it is all I can think of right now.

Comics:
The manga, Barefoot Gen I cry through the whole thing everytime. Truly a must read, and it looks like it may be back in print. It tells the story of the nuclear assault on Hiroshima from the point of view of a third grade boy who survives (most of) his family in the explosion. The author, Keiji Nakazawa, survived the blast in his childhood, and the tale is autobiographical. Even the crappy (mostly due to bad American dubbing, Gen=young Goku) animated movie they made has the power to bring me to tears, just because you know what really happened to inspire the story.

Music:
The Shortest Story by Harry Chapin, can be found as one of the studio tracks tacked on to the end of Greatest Stories Live. Harry dedicated his life to raising funds to fight famine in the third world, and this is a song inspired by those suffering. It is less then a minute long, and it's about a baby who dies because his malnourished mother can not lactate. Such a short song, yet it never fails turn on the water works by the end.

Movies:
Although I've never read the book, many movie versions of A Christmas Carrol can make me cry at the end. I am a lot like Scrooge, and he reminds me of me. That is why I find it sad that he is such an old man when he finally finds joy in his life, (not to mention some of the reasons we discover he's the way he is, or what folks think of him behind his back) now he only has a few years left. He might as well have missed his chance altogether.

I know there's more, I'll reply if I ever think of it.

I hate to admit this, but it is quiet sad!

During "City Slickers". I remember seeing it in the theater with my parents. When Billy Crystal says that Curly is so good, he sleeps with his eyes open and he is really dead, I teared up. But I lose it every time when they continue on with the drive and Norman the calf gets caught in the river and Billy Crystal goes in and saves him. :(

The only TV show that's really touched me and made me cry was M*A*S*H.

"Abysinnia Henry": It all builds up when Henry's saying good-bye to all his friends. Before he gets on the chopper, he runs over to his best friend Radar and tells him that if he's not good, he's going to come back and kick his butt. They share one last hug, and Henry flies off.
At the end, while the surgeons are in the OR, Rader comes in and announces that Henry's plane was shot down over the sea of Japan and that there were no survivors. It really makes me sad because Henry had a baby boy he'd never seen, and two little girls...

The episode where Radar leaves the camp:
At the end of the episode, Hawkeye returns to the tent to find that Radar's left his teddy bear on his [Hawkeye's] cot.

Also, just before the series finale, when the surgeons are making a time capsule, Hawkeye donates Radar's teddy bear as a reminder for "those who came here as boys and left as men". And just seeing Potter holding the bear and looking down at it...

And of course, "Good-bye, Farewell, and Amen", the series finale:
The waterworks start at the wedding scene, and they don't stop until well after the show's ended.
