There's A japanese anime flick entitled "Grave of the Fireflies" That shattered me when I was fifteen.

I would recommend it to anyone that likes sad but beautiful movies, the final scene is something that has been burned into my brain where it shall reside until the day I die.

i agree, Shaun is great..
other than that, in Jurrasic Bark I wanted to kill bender! also, some LotR moments, the end of the original Night of the Living Dead, maybe King Kong, but most of all, Manos: The Hands of Fate.

Black Hawk Down always makes me tear up, the plight of those soldiers stuck in that almost hopeless situation breaks my heart.

They butchered it!!



Yea, I had a similiar experience with Starship Troopers. The book was absolutely incredible(Robert Hienlien, need a say more?) and the movie was the biggest piece of crap I've ever seen.

As for emotional movies, it doesn't surprise me that no one has said "Dear Frankie." Not a big commercial flick but it was really really wonderful and touching.

Big Fish, it was terrible. I was on a date and nobody else was crying and it sort of sucked. I cried the second time I saw it too.

Serenity, obviously.

And i know this isn't a movie, but has anybody seen the Music Video for the Greenday song "Wake me up when September ends"? So very depressing.

So many things make me cry. A lot of the previously mentioned FF eps, but mostly OoG. There are a lot of Buffy moments that make me cry, but the ones that are standing out to me right now are Becoming Pt. 2, Graduation Pt. 2, Wild at Heart, New Moon Rising, The Gift and Chosen. As for Angel eps, the Doyle's death in season one (I think the ep is called Hero) and of course the last ep, Not Fade Away.

As for movies, well that list is even longer, but just to name a few:

Serenity, for obvious reasons
The Lion King
Homeward Bound:The Incredible Journey Home
My Girl
Garden State
SLC Punk
Andre
All the Lord of the Rings, but especially RotK, when Sam carries Frodo up the mountain.....
Edward Scissorhands

There are a lot of others on this list, but I fear if I won't be able to stop crying if I keep think about them.

damn, I have to second that one. The end of Saving Private Ryan rips my aorta a new one.
When my dear departed brother-in-law was laid to rest at the Veteran's Cemetery in Bourne, MA on Cape Cod I held it together through giving a eulogy and reciting his favorite poem. I held it together through the prayer and the playing of Amazing Grace on bagpipes (family was of Scottish decent) but at the end the funeral directory speaks into her walkie-talkie and then from a short distance away comes the unmistakable sound of Taps. The floodgates opened and I was crying a river.

Everyone said they couldnt believe a funny cartoon could get so emotional. Anyone that has ever owned a dog knows it has to come to an end..but it doesnt make it any easier to deal.



"..it is my very favorite gun."



I cried at Jurassic Bark too. It's so sad . . . the dog keeps waiting for him to come back . . . I always have to go see my dog after that one. Let's see . . . Luck of the Fryish too, and some Buffy eps, Out of Gas and Objects in Space . . . Hero and I Will Remember You in Angel. That's about it for TV.

Movies:
Lilo and Stitch (original): the whole family aspect. Just makes me cry.

LOTR: Return of the King: natch.

Green Mile

The Notebook

I'm sure there's more but I can't think of them. I'm a softie, though I don't wanna be. It's embarrassing.
