Good Ending of Bioshock(The final part with them all holding hands)



Final Scene In Scrubs(Especially the hallway scene)

Rudy
For the Love of the Game... when he starts to realize what's going on on the field.


Towards the end of Saving Private Ryan, when the Old Man "Ryan" collapses at the tombstone of the man who saved his life. Used to be this movie did nothing of the sort, but now that I've been downrange a couple times, and lost brothers, this scene, and scenes like it in many movies really bring up the dust storms.

This scene from summer wars. Just watching not one, not to but so many people put their faith and trust into that moment....

Well, warm up at any rate.


As for tearjerkers, I think it'd be difficult to outdo the beginning of Up.

Tear jerkers? Not really a crying sort of dude, but this scene get's me every time. Embodies the essence of what all heroes are and what they're willing to give:

Jeff Daniels' toilet scene from Dumb and Dumber.

Speaking of Scrubs:

Sad tears:

"My Screw Up":


"My Lunch":


"My Long Goodbye (Pt. 2)":


Happy tears:

"My New God":

Scrubs is just full of tearjerkers for me. One of my favourite shows, and great because I could watch it with my family members who are doctors without them throwing stuff at the TV constantly. Avatar and OP had some of the greatest hits, funeral especially. "Where do you think we are?" Instant tear in the corner.

When Samantha (the dog) died in I Am Legend. That movie was awful, and stupid, and managed to capture literally everything but the point of the book. I kind of couldn't wait for Will Smith to die at that point. I was just done; my caring had ceased to be.

To share a few:

The Lion King:



The Green Mile:



Schindler's LIst:



The "what the feth happened to my emotions" scene from Up!:



Toy Story 3 had this surprise:

The Messenger: When Joan gave that speech before the attack I was ready to jump up and dive in myself.

In film:
The end of ROTK is pretty damn sad, as Frodo leaves for the Undying Lands

In TV:
The 10th Doctor's regeneration

In books:
The end of The Amber Spyglass


And on a related note, there is one sound that, no matter where I am or what I'm doing when I hear it, literally sends shivers down my spine:
EXTERMINATE!

Bit different from the other replies, but for me is the final scene of Red vs Blue Season 10.

This......every. ...damn.....time...

My internet is too slow to look up clips at the moment, but the first two scenes that came to mind were:

Shawshank Redemption - Just before/as the credits roll.
Dead Mans Shoes - The opening scene, with the video recordings of when Richard and Anthony were babies/kids.

And as been said, Disney/Pixar films have more than enough to go around. The Hunchback of Notre Dame makes my eyes run a little, because how fething awesome Captain Phoebus and the gypsies are.

Besides summer wars which was already mentioned was the scene from Ghost in the shell where the Tachikomas suicide there own Satellite to save everyone from a nuke while singing.




I think its this one (cant watch at work) but man right in the feels

When the President dies in the new Battlestar Galactica. Chokes me up every time.

About every episode of Derek.

And I'm ususally pretty stone-faced about fictional sad moments.

The ending of The Snowman is pretty sad.

Yep... Gets me every time.

Try the ending of watership down gets me tears flowing every time, the missis cant even hear the song without tearing up.
A poiniant moment is the end of labyrinth give me a feeling of pity for the goblin king.

Does this have to be fictional?

If not this gets me every time.

I am not going to link the vid direct as it is pretty graphic.

Its a tribute to all the Formula 1 drivers that lost their life doing the sport that they loved. I pray the Jules makes it through and is not added to the list :(

If we are including non-fiction then I have to throw "Senna" out there.




I loved watching Formula One growing up and I was 12 when I watched Senna die in his final race. Of course this was pre-internet, so we didn't "know" that he was dead yet. But I remember the race, the crash, watching them getting him out of the car and racing him to the helicopter, praying that night before I went to sleep that he would be okay.

When that documentary came out I went to see it with my wife and I warned her that I would probably be tearing up a bit since I remember watching all this when it happened and that the emotions that I felt when I was 12 would probably come back to me.

Then the movie started and the very first thing is an interview with his parents and his mom saying "I just pray for God to protect him, that's more important than any title". So one minute in the movie I tear up and think "feth, so that's how this movie is going to be..."

It's on Netflix, highly recommend it to any racing fan.

The end of the first DOW trailer mostly cause its heroic and the music is perfect gets your guts in a knot (then you think why the fudge cake would a banner call in all those drop pods)

If we're going non-fiction, I still get choked up thinking about the money slipping through my fingers.

James Toney vs. Vasily Jirov - Round 12

(History) Final seconds of USA Hockey vs USSR, 1980, Lake Placid Olympics and/or (Film) same moment in 'Miracle'

Ohh, forgot about Miracle (I wasn't old enough for the real thing).

In some ways, I do get choked up when seeing documentaries/films about the 95 Rugby World Cup (such as Invictus).

Also, the first few times I saw "Remember the Titans"

Or, "field of dreams"

The deaths of Old Yeller/Marley/Old Dan and Little Ann from their respective movies.

The end of AC Black Flag

There didn't use to be a ton of things.

The only movie I could really remember was a scene in "The Ron Clark Story" where the main character finds a kid that's getting beat by his step father cowering in an alley by his apartment complex.

Since we've had our daughter, pretty much anything even remotely sappy involving kids does.

I'll apologize for this one in advance:




I actually can't even watch it now. I got emotional literally 5 seconds in.

I think it was Seeing all his friends that got me. It just kinda sad and somber. One day, even if they are not dead, you look back and think of your friends

My daughter has ruined me. We had a very scary time when she was born and it was very touch and go, now I'm an emotional wreck when it comes to stuff.
