Okay, may I start by saying I rarely cry at movies and NEVER cried at television until I met Joss.

Here's my list:

Buffy trying to convince Angel to go inside before the sun came up and then it started to snow.

Buffy having to kill Angel.

Giles reaction to seening Jenny dead.

Anya's speech about not understandinng why Buffy's mom died.

Willow's reaction to Tara's death.

Xander's talking Willow out of destroying the world.

Anya walking down the isle at her wedding alone.

Spikes falling on the ground sobbing when he saw Buffy fall to her death.

Spike seeing Buffy alive for the first time, seeing her bloody hands, and knowing how she must have felt, clawing her way out of a coffin.

On Angel, Fred dying in Wesley's arms. Wesley dying in Illeria's/Fred's arms.

Cordie watching the video clip of Doyle after he died.

The funeral scene in "The Message."

There are probably more, so refresh my memory!

At the Senior Prom when Buffy gets the gold umbrella and Angel does come to the prom after all. I don't know why but that part gets me.
Out of Gas. Don't know exactly what part but that episode is pretty tearful.
Err now I can't remember anymore.

Anya's speech in "The Body". 'and Joyce will never have any more juice boxes and nobody will tell me why'. Gets me every time.

Buffy's speech in "The Gift".

Buffy rescuing Giles in "Passion", 'Are you trying to get yourself killed?!? I can't do this without you!'.

Anya walking down the aisle in her wedding dress. 'Take care of my heart, won't you, please?'

Erm... I think that's about it. I'm not a big cryer. And only Joss really does it for me.

All of them.

I'm not kidding! Any episode that Joss or any other Mutant Enemy writer hoped would choke people up, I have cried. And cried. And cried and cried and cried.

I sobbed my heart out during the final scenes of "Becoming II". And "Passions". And "The Body" and "Forever" and I don't know how many other episodes of Buffy and Angel.

Although I haven't cried while watching Firefly... yet. I bet I will during the movie though.

Oh by the way ... Hi! I'm Linda, from Ireland. I'm new

okay... i appear to be the first guy posting to this thread (PLEASE correct me if i am wrong). not really a crier myself, but joss can push the water works button ...

the ones i can redily remember have been mentioned (in the gift, it's not just spike's reaction, but buffy's sacrificeing herself,
in THE BODY,pretty much the whole ep after buffy realised joyce was dead....)
but i do know that the ME writers got me at least once a season..

ok, so maybe i'm more of a softie than i let on....

...May have been the losing side, Still not convinced it was the wrong one.

Hi Desktophippie! Welcome to the site.

I'm a guy, too, and I almost never cry, but Joss has made me cry more than once. I can't watch the body without tearing up, especially Buffy's "Mom? Mom? Mommy?" That and when she's yelling into Joyce's face, trying to get her to wake up.

Anya's speech does it for me too, as does seeing Willow break down.

The end of "Tabula Rasa", when Giles and Tara are leaving and that Michelle Branch song is playing. Of course, I then get angry when I see Buffy kissing Spike.

I didn't cry when Fred died, but it was really close. I was actually a little glad that Wesley died, because he had nothing else to live for after losing Fred.

Everything in The Body, from the moment Buffy says Mommy to the end credits I'm crying like a big girly man.

Fred and Wes's death

That's about it

The Body was so emotionally gripping, the entire episode had me on the edge of tears.

A scene that made me tear up that comes to mind is from an episode that a lot of people didn't really care for, Beauty And The Beasts from season three. The scene at the end when a feral Angel came to Buffy's rescue. He kills Pete and then goes for Buffy, but instead of attacking her, he drops to his knees hugging her around the waist and cries out her name. The look on Buffy's face and the tear falling down her cheek gets me every time.

Edited to add: I forgot to mention the Fred and Wes death scenes in Angel season five. I loved those characters so much, it was very emotional when they each passed.

I don't know if either actually brought tears, but the two moments that I liked were

Xander asking if anyone had seen Anya at the end of the final episode.

Spike bringing the flowers for Joyce and the way he was treated by Xander-- and there not being a card saying that the flowers were from Spike. Good moment.
