Well what are they.
For me

Anf ofcourse.

**Little lord Fauntleroy**

**Golden Eyed Scout**

Damn you futurama....

the ending of Saving Private Ryan.

**IAmTheWalrus**

This one gets me every time

**Velour_Fog**

I actually wept the first time I saw this. OK, so it might not have been the best of the trilogy, but I think this is one of the most emotional endings to a film I've ever seen.

Being a true blooded Englishman I dont cry, but the following brings a lump to my throat.

Of course the second clip only makes sense if you have seen Life on Mars (the UK version)

**DarkAngelsRK**

The episode of South Park where Kenny dies by getting sick and he doesn't return for another season or so. (No joke) I cry every time. Then you find out Cartman's a b*tch and it's funny again.....

**VikingScott**

I loved life on mars!!!!
Ashes to Ashes isn't as good, they've made it more pc (and used up all their good ideas)

My mum died when i was 8, my dad was a super macho welder who called me a pussy if i ever even looked like crying as a boy, and i got brainwashed by the commando's for ten years.

I never cry ever. Anything else just isnt cricket.

In fact if i was ever going to cry i would only do it if i was somewhere nobody was ever going to see or hear me, and even then i would eat my own fist in shame, and probably commit seppuku and disembowel myself with a rusty spoon afterwards in order to get back on the rope.

The movie "We Were Soldiers".

and this song and it's story.

Sgt. Charles Stuart MacKenzie went to fight in France during World War I and was shot in the shoulder. The military sent him home to Scotland for treatment, where the surgeon wanted to amputate his arm. Sgt. MacKenzie refused, stating that he had to go back to his men. While recuperating in the hospital, he was asked what it was like to kill "the Hun" (as the Germans were called then). He replied, "what a waste of a fine body of men". His last picture, with him in uniform, was taken on the steps of the hospital. This picture hung in his home above the fireplace. Upon his return to the front, he and his men were engaged in fixed bayonet combat. The composer says,
“ To the best of my knowledge, and taken from reports of the returning soldiers, one of his close friends fell, badly wounded. Charles stood his ground and fought until he was overcome and died from bayonet wounds. On that day, my great grandmother and my grandmother were sitting at the fire when the picture fell from the wall. My great grandmother looked, and said to my grandmother "Oh, my bonnie Charlie's dead". Sure enough a few days passed, and the local policeman brought the news - that Sgt. Charles Stuart MacKenzie had been killed in action. This same picture now hangs above my fireplace. A few years back my wife Christine died of cancer, and in my grief I looked at his picture to ask what gave him the strength to go on. It was then, in my mind, that I saw him lying on the field and wondered what his final thoughts were. The words and music just appeared into my head.

it's Scottish, but here is the americanized lyrics.

Lay me down in the cold cold ground
Where before many more have gone
Lay me down in the cold cold ground
Where before many more have gone

When they come I will stand my ground
Stand my ground I’ll not be afraid

Thoughts of home take away my fear
Sweat and blood hide my veil of tears

Once a year say a prayer for me
Close your eyes and remember me

Never more shall I see the sun
For I fell to a Germans gun

Lay me down in the cold cold ground
Where before many more have gone
Lay me down in the cold cold ground
Where before many more have gone
Where before many more have gone

**Mistress of minis**

Alot of anime has gotten to me.

I cried when Wolfwood died.

When the Tachikomas crash thier own mainframe satelite to intercept the nuke headed for Dejima.

When Angelica dies watching the meteor shower and listening to the story about the Pasta Prince.

For songs, Rammstein is the only one thats ever done it with a song alone. Read the lyrics if you dont read/speak german. Till Lindeman is a poet, like his father.

**J.Black**

When Rutger Hauer's character dies at the end of Bladerunner.

He saves Deckard's life then recants all the fantastical things he has seen in his 2 years alive, then says "time to die"

**LunaHound**

i Absolutely LOVE everything about this song , especially the lyrics:

**Velour_Fog**

My friend says there's a saying in Australia: "Take two teaspoons of concrete and harden the f£$" up"

I shall do this.

**J.Black**

Best music documentary ever....

**LunaHound**

Sort of emotionally confusing scene to watch... from Black Lagoon
(warning : dont click if you find limbs blown off disturbing even if its anime )

One of my favorite Scenes from movie , which includes one of my favorite BGM
The violin's pitch just made the nuke scene just so much more beautiful , as beautiful and silent like sun rise.

I also love Danny Elfman , always bringing us the most magical and enchanting music....
this song is "Ice Dance" , from the movie Edward Scissor Hands.

This. The ending of "Stranger Than Fiction" with Will Ferell, Maggie Gyllenhaal, and Dustin Hoffman.

I friggin love that movie.

For me it would be....... Marley and Me. Thats the first that comes to mind. The whole movie is so damn good and funny, but then at the end when hes finally dying, its so friggin sad.

Im sure theres a few others but I cant think of them at the moment. Too many movies, to much to sift through lol

Songs, Foolish Pride by The Deadlights. That song just hits home for me because of loosing a childhood friend. She was selfish and decided to commit suicide.

**Falconlance**

Ah jeez, I totally forgot.. This one might seem silly at first, but when I focus on the lyrics, my inner 5 year old bursts into tears.
