My Goodness, there are so many moments throughout the show and film that bring on those emotions, i couldn't list them all.
But a few That stick in my mind.
From "Serenity", when they've found out how the Reavers were created Mal gives a speech to the crew about how the alliance will try again and again to make...people...better, and the look he gives River at that moment...It's both heartbreaking and fulfilling.

Also from the pilot episode when Mal is informed that no back-up is coming at the battle of Serenity Valley. The shots showing the alliance ships landing and then that shot zooming out as Mal just stares up and the young lad gets shot. You can see from Mals expression. He's lost all hope, for himself and for what he would describe as the free world. He doesn't duck to hide from the barrage of bullets after the boy is shot. He couldn't care less at that moment in time whether he was shot or not, in my opinion.

Also, as I saw a few times above, the scene after Aerial where Jayne is nearly sucked out of the cargo hold. Mals speech on how he stabbed him in the back. The anger in his voice and of course Jaynes sudden outburst of honour.."Make summit it...don't tell 'em what I did"
Even in death, he doesn't want to be thought of as a bad person.

Finally, and oddly enough not directly connected with the show or the film...On the special features of the Firefly DVD there's a behind the scenes featurette. And at the end Joss Whedon explains what it was to him. What this show meant. And you can really feel that that man wasn't ready to finish and you share his dissapointment. That really got me...but yeah...there ya go.

'Safe' - River's "You found me broken" speach

'War Stories' - River's "Bits...fluids" speach

'Objects In Space' - River's "I'll be your bounty" speach

The BDM - River & Simon in the locker; River's "Make me a stone" speach

Really, most scenes where River's sad, in pain etc. Just pulls on the old heart strings.

In "Bushwacked," when the camera reveals Simon and River clinging to the outside of Serenity.

They established Simon's phobia of space suits earlier the same episode, and River and he look so small and helpless. But they are alive because Mal cared enough to endanger his ship for their survival.

That's a lot of moving concepts flying around at once! I must confess some tightness of throat when I view that episode.

So I was looking for another thread (one in which someone said something along the lines of, "That's the clearest statement of your position you've ever given," because I figured if that was the clearest I should use it when stating my position) and I found this one while looking. And, of course, I got sucked into reading it.

The whole damn thread made me cry.

Out of gas struck me, and of course the movie. We know what parts I'm sure...

There are many sad moments but the episode that almost made me cry was 'Safe', the part when River is dancing, she looks so happy and carefree. I don't why that is in particular but probably because it is the first time we see her like that and its sad because it reminds Simon perhaps of the sister he had - and still has but now with government interference.

They weren't cows inside. They were waiting to be, but they forgot. Now they see sky, and they remember what they are.

To be honest, just about anything by River. Then when Kaylee is threatened in Objects in Space. That fear was too real. If genius in this medium is drawing someone 100% into some kind of alternate reality then genius is at work here.

A copper for a kiss.

For me it would be the end of "The Message" and the eld of "Out of Gas" more than others.

I mean, all of it is great and I enjoy all of it, but those are the parts that get me
