Top Moments in Movies/TV shows that made you cry!
 

I was having an interesting conversation with my brother about powerful moments in movies and TV shows that have made you cry.

It was hard for me to think. I must be made of Iron or something, because only one moment in a film has come close, and that was in the third Lord of the Rings movie, when Frodo tells Sam he was going to leave middle earth.

"you Can't leave!"

Anyway, please feel free to share your thoughts.

Pixar's Up.
Goddamn Up.

A lot of people say Up got them.

The Land Before Time.
The end of The Lord of the Rings.
And, very recently, the whole ending of The Song of the Sea.

In the end of the first LOTR movie, when Sam goes with Frodo.

The whole total of Tao Tao: Der kleine Pandabär.

I'm actually a pretty easy crier. I couldn't list them because it happens all the time. I guess the last time was Creed. The winter finale of Agents of SHIELD... The episode before that... I guess the movies that tear me up the most are Rocky, The Wrath of Khan, Forrest Gump, Superman: The Movie (Any version of Kal-El's parents putting him in that ship, really)...

EDIT:
I realized that you specified "moments."

When Rocky went down and Mickey told him to stay down, in Rocky. I dunno. Any time that Going The Distance theme kicks in, I lose it.

Kirk's eulogy for Spock.

Any version of Jor and Lara kissing their baby goodbye, and hoping he survives, from the 50's TV show to Man of Steel. Gets me every time.

Ooh, this would be a long list. But off the top of my head- Mufasa's death, when Belle tells the Beast "I love you", When Flynn "dies" in Tangled, Spock's death, the campfire scene in '90 TMNT. When Dale and Andrea died in Walking Dead.... And those are just a few.

When Little Foot's mom died.

The first TMNT movie gets me in a whole bunch of scenes, with the most obvious one of course being the campfire scene.

Kung-Fu Panda 2 when Po finally lets his painful memories of Shen's attack on his village flow through to acheive inner peace. That part where his mom calms him down only to watch her leave forever is just a gut-punch for me.

To this day I'm still shocked a DreamWorks film made me cry when they're more known to have their films be more comedy-centric.

The end of Terminator 2, when T-800 sacrifices himself and gives the thumbs up, the campfire scene from the first TMNT movie and the end of Toy Story 3 are the main ones for me

The Last Unicorn- when Lear is killed by the Red Bull and she fights back, driving the bull into the sea while all the other unicorns run free. That whole scene gets me. Or in Secret of NIMH when Mrs. Brisby moves the mouse house with the amulet.

Grave of the Fireflies anyone? or how about Artax's death in Neverending Story?

Grave of the Fireflies is what I was gonna say. Also Toy Story 3. I mean DUDE! My wife was pregnant with our little boy when it came out and she wept like crazy and blamed it on the hormones. So then when he was a little older we let him watch it and he fell in love with it and wanted to watch it constantly and we would STILL get a little misty even after watching it a hundred times! Incredibly powerful film making! Up is also sad in the early moments but after that I really feel like it's just more heartwarming than anything else. But really Grave of the Fireflies is just so sad. It should honestly be required viewing by all people.

The Fox and the Hound.

You aint kiddin' dude! I put it as one of the saddest as well. My little boy went through a phase where he wanted to watch it all the time and he just turned 5 and a few months ago he was watching it and when Tweed was taking Todd to the woods and gave that monologue my little boy started crying. I was like "Yep. That's my boy." LOL! The first movie I remember crying in was Rocky 3 when Mickey died. I still get all misty eyed when Mr. Miyagi "heals" Daniel in the locker room on Karate Kid too and then when he gives Daniel that look during the crane kick I get all warm and fuzzy as well.

*Takes out checklist*
Just as I expected, plenty of Land Before Time. Understandably.

I watched Bridge to Terabithia twice, and so far, both times, it's the only movie that's made me really, REALLY cry.

Most others, I just feel a little cathartic - Littlefoot's mom, Frodo leaving, the last minute of Titanic...not really crying, but feeling feels. Speaking of Titanic, Jack's death never really hits me, but oh the band scene and the terrible loss of innocent humanity through the whole sinking. I couldn't even watch the screen when it had its theatrical re-release, though I had seen it numerous times on VHS.

The end of Return of The King the Gray Havens Scene.

10th Doctor's Regeneration as they play this really sad operatic music for him.

11th Doctor's Regeneration cause he was My first Doctor and he was so Badass during his Regeneration

Homeward Bound the end of the movie.

Toy Story F'n 3 that ending cause me to ball like a baby every time.

This scene always gets me bawling like a baby!!!

Basically all Disney/Pixar movies...:D

The Fox and the Hound really gets me though...

You know what's weird is that none of us said Bambi but that film pretty much traumatized an entire generation of film goers. LOL!

Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion...

Jeph used it correctly. It is "bawl", not "ball". People kill me with that.

One word means "to cry uncontrollably". The other is a slang term for sex, when used as a verb. That's what "to ball" means. So you'd think people would be more careful about the distinction, but they aren't.

So get ON the ball, people, and stop saying "ball" when you mean "bawl". Goddamn Internet.

Unfortunately there's a few like that you see repeatedly. Like the use of "loose" when they mean "lose".

I imagine there's some level of "auto-correct" to blame for that one, and maybe others as well, but I'll never care. Yes, we all make mistakes, but if we weren't supposed to fix our mistakes before anyone else sees them then pencils wouldn't have erasers.

Also: "would of"/"would have" should be something you can hit people for.

Dag nabbit.

Don't fight it. All those examples and more will eventually be correct if enough people use them. Join the party.

Bullsh*t, that'll be the day when I lower myself to the standards of the common rabble.

"More people becoming functionally illiterate because nobody bothers to correct them" isn't a party worth celebrating, frankly.

One of us, one of us...

LOL this will make some of you LOL, but as a kid I use to get choked up over Charlotte's Webb, when the spider dies:lol: Other scenes that nearly got me, were in American Tale, when Fieval sings somewhere out there.


Someone said Grave of the Fireflies, and I have to agree, It was very powerful.:(

I said Grave of the Fireflies. Also if you want to know of a funny movie that made me cry as a kid it was Turner and Hooch. When it makes it look like Hooch dies I wept incessantly. LOL!

I'm kind of surprised at that, myself. Or that at there aren't any Mufasas around here either.

Though, Mufasa's death is stronger than Bambi's mom's, since it's not forgotten about and isn't just emotion bait.

David Tennant dying in "The End of Time." Matt Smith, I like you, but you'll never be as good as the 10th Doctor. :tsad:

Um, actually, I DID mention Mufasa. And this might sound weird, but I still tear up a little at the end of Charlotte's Web, too. Possibly because it has always been my favorite children's book and I loved the animated movie, too.

I almost cried at FYE when I was Christmas shopping, and saw that the animated Charlotte's Web had a sequel. Mostly for humanity, and innocence lost.

Another one for me, Audrey's death in Little Shop of Horrors. In the Directors' cut ending...which frankly is the better one in my opinion.
That combined with Seymour giving her to the plant as per her final wish. The music alone hits the nail on the head. I only wish I could compose such an emotionally charged scene like that.

It's part of why I don't think I'd watch another stage version after my community college's performance of it; Little Shop of Horrors is not a comedy to me, and trying to pull a laugh with Audrey's final words doesn't really fit. Especially after Ellen Green's performance in the movie.

There's a lot in Little Shop of Horrors that makes me feel a little weepy, especially knowing where Audrey's fate ends. Somewhere That's Green and its reprise as she's dying, Suddenly Seymour, the proposal scene. Everything Audrey.

On one hand, I appreciate the ending where she didn't die, but from her survival onward felt like a slap in the face to the meaning of the original ending.
