I feel you, good sir.

I didn't think I could ever be so emotional.

I'm actually glad we got rid of cable, because now I can comfortably avoid all the ESPN "My Wish" segments.

I don't know if you look at Reddit or Imgur, but a few months ago they had a guy asking to see if somebody could photoshop out the tubes and IVs from a picture of their baby since he never left the NICU before he died and they didn't have a single picture without any medical equipment in it. The response was overwhelming, and I cried like a little girl reading the whole thing and looking at the responses.

Also found out about an organization called "Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep" which pairs people with dying babies in the hospital with photographers who will take free pictures of the families and their child before/after it dies so that they have some memories. My experience is still pretty raw, but I would love to get to a point where I can use my photography to help people at some point.

Not a TV show, or a movie, but rather a music video that will simply ruin my whole day:

Well, if we're doing songs as well, I defy anyone to not be moved by the original version of Forever Autumn from War of the Worlds with Richard Burton's narration. Or, for that matter, the rest of the songs on there. Every one has something in the lyrics, music or the narration that simply cuts to the bone of emotion.

Empty Chairs at Empty Tables from Les Miserables.

As a veteran this gets me every time.

One of the big things with that FFDP song I posted, I KNOW it messes me up precisely because I'm a vet, and it is an issue near and dear to me.

Elephant Man - insert random scene, but particularly the scene where Merrick is ridiculed and kidnapped from the hospital.

Still the saddest film ever produced IMO.

Ray meeting his dad at the end of Field of Dreams.



"Want to have a catch?"

Aw, MAN.



The hallway from The Right Stuff. 0:38

Honestly, I think if you put Kevin Costner into a Sports Movie™, it'll be capable of inducing tears

It's definitely his Typecast role

The scene in African Queen when Hepburn and and Bogie are about to be executed, talking amongst themselves (they forced the Captain to marry them).

Old Yeller.

Also the scene when the Joker sets fire to the giant stoack of money. There was much wailing and gnashing of teeth from Frazzled I can tell you.

I'll join this club. I can't wait for the first newsletter.

As a Dad I can understand. Sounds like good works going on there.

A warming scene for me is the blessing of the sun god Frith to the rabbit patriach El-Ahrairah from the prologue of the film version of Wartership Down.

Couldn't link the original but found a remake (orginal soundtrack, replaced animation).

Especially on a day like today, this song is one of the few things that can get to me.

I've always thought I was a little strange. Bambi's mother dying, didn't shed a tear, neither was I particularly upset about Lion-Daddy.

But... This...




That got me. Completely got me. And still does.

Compel, I swear that was what I learned about death from. I still won't let my son watch that transformers movie- he's seen Optimus die in the live action ones and Prime, but that scene just pushed every button.

When I finally do, I'm sure he's going to shrug and I'll be falling over myself to comfort him.

There are quite a lot of scenes that make me cry. I guess I am just very emotional.
But no movie ever made me cry like Fortress of War. I don't know why, but that movie just touched something in me.
If you want to, you can find the full movie on Youtube. It is a good watch.

Another one I very clearly remember is that I cried when Théoden died in the LOTR book.

Jonny Cash's version of Hurt gets me every time, you can feel the pain in his voice.

Also the end of We were Soldiers.
One of my favourite war films.

Lost 2 friends on 9/11 and 12 friends in Iraq. Listened to the song and started sobbing :(

Yep, i frigging love that movie. its so good.

Early Simpsons is good at hitting you in the feels.

I always think the end of "Mother Simpson" is sad.



I find this scene pretty sad. I know Commodus turns out to be a monster but I just think it's the pain he feels from his fathers obvious rejection.

This scene made me cry :(

last YuruYuri episode

:^(

That's because Mr. Phoenix is an awesome actor. That part gets me a bit too.

That Kenshiro had to leave, and ultimately that was the end of the series (there were two) and...retelling OVAs and such which I didn't like, so to me that was Kenshiro's farewell...

It doesn't make me cry but the ending of Blade Runner is just so full of emotions.

Marly and me made me sob like a baby the first time, as did Shazam. Only because it was so frigging terrible.

I already get emotional watching pictures like "almost famous", if i follow this line of thinking I won't be able to watch Snagglepuss without balling - kids out!

Kids are scary

Children do turn us into softies. I get those moments as well.

Kids change you?
Stop the Presses

Comments like that for young types with no kids crack me up. I hope one day when you have a child you'll think back on this reply and think "yeah i get it now"
