Weird things make me cry.. or at least tear up. - When Trinity sees the sun for the first and last time in the Matrix Revolutions. - The last song of Misplaced Childhood by Marillion, White Feather, when Fish sings, "But I'm proud to own my heart. My heart. This is my heart!". - The end of Kingdom Hearts 2, when Sora and Riku are in the ocean, they look towards the shore and see their friends, and the theme song starts playing. - The secret video of Kingdom Hearts Birth By Sleep, after the montage of characters looking up to the sky and whispering 'Sora'. When the camera changes to a closeup of Aqua's face, a lone tear rolls down her cheek and she also whispers Sora's name with a smile on her face. - Digimon season 3, when Baalzamon is beating on the bubble holding Geri and trying to save her. - Various sections of the Act 5 end flash of Homestuck. - The very end of Eva's debriefing in Metal Gear Solid 3.

Two Toy Story moments. "I Will Go Sailing No More": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r2l1gHgUjn8 This scene is so loving powerful. The music, the mood... a character realizing who he truly is, denying it, and then being forced to acknowledge it once again. His face when he falls gets me every time. "When Somebody Loved Me": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=px0j1EHF8Y0 Every. loving. Time.

One thing that's always gotten me is Coco Wang's comics. He made them back with the massive earthquake hit china back in '08. 5.12 And from my childhood, the death of dinobot in beastwars was always a tear jerker. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oifs6ulpd9A Probably wont have much meaning to anyone not failure with series, but as a child who religiously watched the show, I was bawling.

The Sullivan Ballou letter. The outpour of emotion is amazing, especially considering I usually think of people back then being extremely stoic, and the music combines with it to just... There was also another letter from The Civil War, from Lewis Douglass, that makes me choke up every time.

There's plenty out there that makes me cry since I'm a big wuss, but here's the biggy: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bUADeRYIwW0 It's the song "Our House" by Crosby, Stills, and Nash. My wife got me into CSN and it was the song that played while we had our first dance as a married couple. It made me cry before that and still does to this day.

I work at a pet rescue, and while we generally save our pets form the pound, we occasionally take dogs from puppy mills. Typically they're retired breeding adults, but recently we took several puppies. The video I have here is of two puppy mill Whippets. They were lovingly cared-for at the rescue, but I knew they needed to experience the outdoors, so I grabbed a couple coworkers and took them out to play in our yard for the first time. (audio's obnoxious because it was windy and I was squealing at puppies): http://youtu.be/53tt9uwXroY

Were you sleepless, tearing at the air? Was the water everywhere? Were you fearful, and long to run away From the cold clasp of Illinois? Sleepless by the Decemberists is the only song to bring me to tears http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0GOtgQSllo0 Or it was, until last month I re-listened to The Hazard Of Love 4 (the Drowned), also by the Decemberists, and got teary eyed. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bRLSaBZV1Eo

Do you realize by The Flaming Lips http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oXGb3JoGp0w&feature=related This. loving. Song. Every time I hear it, I start bawling, the lyrics are just...I don't even know. Also, gently caress you, person who posted the beginning of UP. There's a reason I haven't watched that movie since I saw it in theaters, I made a fool of myself there and did again just now.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2BZp2dxpwF8 Part of Your World from The Little Mermaid has always always made me cry. The emotion in her voice is absolutely amazing and it's truly lost on little kids. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=fuCOx23H1cg My Brightest Diamond, I Have Never Loved Someone. I think it was in the General Feel Good thread where someone posted a link, and it was basically just a bunch of videos of people hugging the camera, so it was like you were being hugged. This song was playing throughout all of it. I can't hear this song now without tearing up. I will sing it to my kids someday. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nMsZ6wkZWhA&ob=av2n Dig, by Incubus. I discovered Incubus when I was like around 10 or 11, right around the time my grandma died, and there's a lot of songs that remind me of her. This one kind of hits the mark and it kills me each time I hear it. I miss my grandma so much, there's so many things I wish I could tell her and share with her. Also I'm going through some hard times with anxiety and depression and most days I'm an absolute mess. My boyfriend has managed to stick by me through 2 years of this poo poo. "I know you'll count on the me from yesterday. If I turn into another, dig me out from under what is covering the better part of me. Sing this song, remind me that we'll always have each other, when everyone else is gone." ... sounds like some sappy high school poo poo, I know.

Happy tears. The doggy listening and the pregnant woman with the headphones on her stomach wreck me. The song from the s5 finale of Buffy kills me and the funeral song from "The Message" is worse because it was written as a goodbye to the series. "The Message" gets a lot of poo poo, but I truly found this scene along with the quote ("When you can't run, you crawl, and when you can't crawl - when you can't do that... well...you know the rest.") slay me every single time. Also this, from the end of Supernatural S2. Right, so it's just a CW show, I get it, but Jensen Ackles knocks the hell out of this.

Brooks was here. Bitch tears everywhere. I first watched The Shawshank Redemption in my English class a thousand years ago and had to hide in my hoodie. The end to this version of The Little Mermaid. It's dated as poo poo but everything is still as poignant as it was when I was three. Ocean Breathes Salty by Modest Mouse. The music video makes it a million times worse. And seconding Dear Zachary from the OP. That stayed with me for a really long time.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iX0cGftqbrg Iron Giant (start at around 2:50 if you want to skip ahead) I consider myself a somewhat stern, manly-man type, but goddamnit, no matter how I try, I can't not cry during the scene when he says "Su-u-u-u-u-per ma-a-a-a-an", closes his eyes, and accepts his fate with a smile.

It always pisses me off that (a much older) Keith is working as a armored car guard/driver and got killed by two punks. They didn't have to shoot him!  Although I just noticed that the truck says "Charles Security" so I guess he owned it, that makes it kind of better?

Puppy mills suck.In the "makes me cry" category...Patrick the Pit Bull was starved to near death, put in a garbage bag, and tossed 22 stories down a garbage chute. He survived, and when the garbage collector saw a bag moving, he opened it to find the near starved dog inside. The dog was rushed to intensive care, and from there on made a miraculous recovery - named Patrick because he was rescued the day before St. Patrick's day, here he is now: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=endscreen&NR=1&v=o4-m5tbGjwo

Part 4 of the Sagan Series: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zxsJeND_D-k The video goes back and forth between disaster and success, but the last part where you see the crew of Columbia and then the shuttle breaking up kind of gets to me. I guess its a little cheap to do it that way, but I don't usually get too emotional about non-personal stuff like this.

The Snowman 1982 animated movie. Music is so beautiful. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XuO4fWQBb7c&feature=related (I can only seem to find it broken up into 3 parts.) Tried to read my son The Velveteen Rabbit after my mother sent my old copy out to me. I couldn't read it without tearing up, so I called my husband up and handed it to him to finish, and he could barely make it through. "drat. You didn't tell me I was going to be reading the saddest story ever." Shush has a new favorite as of 03:45 on Dec 9, 2011 |

Lilo and Stitch. No Disney movie has ever made me cry so much. Not even loving Dumbo, or Bambi, or loving Mufasa. The book The Bone-Setter's Daughter. In rural China, pre-WWII, a girl has a live-in nursemaid called Precious Auntie. The girl treats her kinda all right, but as she ages and wants her mother to notice her more than her younger sister, Precious Auntie kinda falls aside. When the girl is engaged to a son in the Chang family, her nursemaid writes out a very long story, urging the girl to read it and insisting the girl will never marry into that horrible family. The girl replies she would marry into any family to escape the nursemaid....who leaves, writes a threat to the Chang family promising to haunt them forever if the girl marries their son, and kills herself. The girl reads the story after this, and discovers that her nursemaid is really her mother. Years ago she was to marry the youngest son of the family, but he was killed on their wedding day, and they had some premartial bliss before this. The bride disfigured herself by pouring hot ink over her face, and when she was found to be pregnant, the sister of the murdered man/her technical sister-in-law took the baby on as her own to save the family face. Throughout the rest of the book, the girl believes that her nursemaid-mother has cursed her, which leads to the death of her first, and later second husband, and it's only when she is near full-on dementia-addled that she is able to relate all the pain and misery of her life, thinking she is under a curse for causing her mother to commit suicide. Watership Down, reading about The Shining Wire (see avatar). Because as much as you hate Cowslip and the other rabbits, the fact Strawberry is able to leave indicates some of them probably are just as desperate to escape but can't.

Dumbo and his mom: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y7JvL2ap3Cg This movie never ceases to amaze me. So much is communicated through music and expression. The main character never says a word and his mom only has one line. Pixar also does this very well when they want to. Others have mentioned Wall-E but UP contains this montage: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GroDErHIM_0 Over four minutes with no dialog, no sound effects, no flash, but highly evocative and perfectly sets the mood for the rest of the movie. Absolutely brilliant and so sad. Cowslips Warren posted:Lilo and Stitch omlette-a-gogo has a new favorite as of 04:09 on Dec 9, 2011 |

down_and_out posted:Part 4 of the Sagan Series: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zxsJeND_D-k Actually this reminded me. I went to Daytona to see the last shuttle launch, whenever it happened, I guess back in July. It was so cloudy, the weather was bad, and they didn't even know if it was going to go up. The clock hit the time when it was supposed to go, and the entire beach went silent. We were all looking south, looking for the shuttle but there were so many clouds, we couldn't see anything. And then we saw it, for all of like 2 seconds, in a break between some clouds, and it was gone. I was actually pretty upset that that was all I saw of the last shuttle launch. It's pretty sad. Thinking back on it makes me tear up. e: Also so many people are mentioning WALL-E, and space, and Sagan.

The ending to Charlie Chaplins City Lights makes the room a little dusty. The tramp falls in love with a poor blind girl. He later goes to prison for stealing money that was actually given to him. He gave that money to the girl and she uses it to fix her eyesight while he's locked up. They bump into each other after he's released. He recognizes her, but she doesn't know him until... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C_vqnySNhQ0

Tales From Ba Sing Se, from Avatar, the Last Airbender. Dedicated to Mako. Same series, but Zuko Alone too. I like to think that after this series ended, and between the new one, Zuko himself went back, or he sent parties, to all the people he had met, and in some sense screwed over, and paid them fully back for helping him, in a good way. Also the possibly last scene where Azula is sane. So says the hallucination of her mother, no, Azula, I loved you, I always loved you.

The Little Match Girl Man, gently caress this video. You know the Monty Python sketch about the funniest joke in the world, and at one point it has the bit where Graham Chapman says that one guy saw two words in a row and was put in hospital for 6 weeks? This video is like that, except with sadness. I watched about 2 seconds of it (to make sure it was the right version), and boom - my eyes teared right up.

HappyKitty posted:The Little Match Girl Somehow even the Discworld take on this teared me up good. The Grim Reaper takes on the nightly/yearly role of Santa/the Hogfather and finds the little match girl. Appalled at the unfairness of it all, since for the night he isn't Death but the Hogfather, who gives gifts to everyone, Death puts more life in the girl's hourglass and gives her to some Watchmen with a warning he will be checking up. In his words, the Hogfather gives presents, and there is no better present than a future. So every time I see one of these videos, I keep expecting to see a skeletal Santa come by and make things better.
