I'm all tears now... Things that make us cry.

[Jaeke]

Hmm... only 1 movie and 2 games actually for realsies made me cry manly tears. Spoilers obviously.

Spoiler: The Green Mile

It will make me cry every time I watch it. I can't watch MCD die now especially after he died for real. That probably sounds super conceited but idc, I'll cry.

Mostly because I was young when I first watched it and being someone who loves long movies the ending just hit that much harder since it all felt like a long journey for me that ended so horribly (in a good way). HE DIDN'T DESERVE IT (((

Spoiler: Red Dead Redemption & TW3

This:

and this:

The former mostly because of the same effect that the movie I mentioned had on me. The later is the same but because I've stuck with the series for so long, reading all the books that translated into English and the 2 previous games multiple times that when that moment FINALLY happened, I just couldn't handle it.

Even if it was a little fluffed up or manipulative. EVERYTHING about the direction from the little movements in the characters gestures and their faces to the audio cue's... it was done so masterfully. Honorable mention goes to TWD: Season 1 ending.

I guess for books, Of Mice and Men is a classic example. Hell I'd even heard the ending to it so many times beforehand (who hasn't) that I was really surprised how emotional I felt when I finally got to it. Didn't cry but I was pretty upset about it. The Outsiders is a close second too.

I actually did get choked up the first time I heard

Spoiler: These guys

. Apparently so did Marcus Mumford. Please watch these guys, they're the best up and coming musicians in years.

EDIT:

Oh man I also totally forgot about Bastion... I don't even need to explain which part I'm talking about. Talk about music cue's...

 

[Asita]

Well, because it's near obligatory for threads like this...

Spoiler: It's a terrible day for rain

Oh, also "Artaaaxx!" and "They look like good, strong hands" from Neverending Story.

Honestly, I just can't take Artax seriously after the Nostalgia Critic used it for his Saddest moments compilation.

Clannad manages to get me at least twice while re-watching it. It's always twice or more. Without fail. God damn that show has a lot of feels...

Oh, final part of final episode of final series of Blackadder. Looking back, I don't think the series was that good in general, but this bit:

Spoiler

[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vH3-Gt7mgyM]

It's played for laughs, but also deadly serious and tragic at the same time, to the extent that, IIRC, when it was shown on Remembrance Day, nobody complained about it at all, except for one person that thought it was too sad. That's quite an achievement for a comedy series about a war at any time, especially then.

 

[Recusant]

There's a scene in the final episode of Babylon 5 (if you've watched it, you probably know the one I mean) that serves as a test, in that if, having seen the rest of the series, you can watch it without tearing up, you have no soul. It gets me every time.

Also, when I tried to rewatch an episode of Mister Rogers' Neighborhood shortly after he died. I don't know if it would have the same effect now, but I'm not particularly eager to try.

 

[Ryallen]

I've only cried once by things caused by outside sources, and even then it wasn't one single thing. It was a combination of things that made me cry. To my credit, though, it was only two things. The first thing was the report of the death of an internet video maker by the name of Edd Gould, aka Eddsworld, who made a lot of videos that I found to be funny. That news depressed me more than most things ever did, and what pushed me over the edge was watching a video called The Composer.

Spoiler: The Composer

Both of those things made me break down into tears like I never have before or since.

Erm.. *sniff* thi-this...

Stop judging me

Although this came very close.

 

[Demagogue]

The scene with Will Ferrell and Maggie Gyllenhaal in Stranger than Fiction.

Spoiler

 

[Xeros]

Anything that deals with losing close friends usually hits me like a truck. Though, most recently, I was introduced to the film 'The Last Unicorn', and something about that opening theme struck a cord, and I bawled my eyes out. Something about the lyrical theme of refusing to give in despite the perceived finality of the world around hit me right in the feels.

Spoiler: The Last Unicorn

Yeah, that movie was pretty heart-wrenching at times. Way darker and serious than you'd expect for a "kid's cartoon". I remember seeing that movie as a young kid back in the 80's and being terrified of the Red Bull, and the tragedy of the unicorn becoming human, and how this was portrayed as a terrible thing happening. Very emotional stuff.

 

[Shoggoth2588]

Well I found out that my Dad passed away this morning...that kinda hit me hard. I don't know how it'll effect me for the next few days but at the moment I'm not crying. I may not be able to play Star Fox or Donkey Kong for a little while though...When I was a kid we were both really hyped for DK-Country on the SNES and we played the Hell out of Star Fox 64 when we got the N64 however many Christmases ago.

Other than the above, I'm a sucker when it comes to those parts of movies. You know, things like the first 15 minutes of Up, the last 15 minutes of Big Hero 6, the twist in act 3 of Click...Then there are some happy endings that get me every time. Final Fantasy IX in particular gets me every time. It's at the point where when I play Behind the Door on Curtain Call I happily tear up a bit. Suteki da Ne is another one that gets me a bit but I'm not sure why that is.

 

[blackrave]

Well, there are few things

Spoiler: Speech

Spoiler: Poem

Spoiler: Song

.
.

Remind me again why I participated in this thread?

 

[Spider RedNight]

Spoiler: That last song during the Battle of Five Armies

It just reminded me that the LotR movies were over. No more from Jackson, no more at all and it's just... all over. It's made more powerful when you go into the theatre on the last day of the year and come out in a new year. Similarly when "Into the West" started playing at the end of Return of the King. I wept openly that night.

And of COURSE, the end of TTG Walking Dead.

I'm pretty sure The Reichenbach Fall made me cry for a second - that one episode of Sherlock, particularly when John's standing at his grave afterwards, just talking to the supposed deceased.

EDIT: Also first ten minutes of Last of Us will ALWAYS make me cry. ALWAYS.

 

[Guffe]

Animals, when animals we've got to know really well in movies are taken away.
Good example would be the movie I am Legend.

Other, when shit happens to people in movies I could relate to, as a real person, so usually some semi documentary movie "based on a true story" kind of thing. The one that really got to me was 1000 to 1 I think the movie was called. I was just thinking through the whole movie "what if this shit happened to me?" and the worst part is, it actually might.

 

[Sleepy Sol]

I almost never cry anymore. I couldn't even cry at my grandmother's funeral last year. I got close when my grandpa got up to the casket and couldn't put his rose on top of it, but not quite. It's very strange to me, but I think the only times I get close to crying anymore are when I'm particularly angry. Which almost never happens in the first place.

I didn't even cry at Grave of the Fireflies, for God's sake.

 

[Headsprouter]

The ending to...wait for it...

Bioshock 2.

The last time I remember going full feels-mode thanks to a vidyagaem.

 

[Blood Brain Barrier]

Me too.

A few Trek episodes have had me in tears:
-TNG "The Inner Light"
-The end of "All Good Things"
-"Darmok", where Picard and the alien finally click
-First Contact, the end bit where the vulcan ship lands

I'm surprised there are so many, because I'm not easy to make cry. I wonder why they are all sci-fi stuff.

 

[Dango]

Onions make me cry every time.

 

[lowtech redneck]

I remember seeing that movie as a young kid back in the 80's and being terrified of the Red Bull

Same here, I don't actually remember much of the movie at all, just brief images and the fact that I cried and cried.

I also remember in 5th grade when I watched a cartoon of the original version of The Little Mermaid, desperately trying not to let the tears fall in front of my sisters until I could leave the room. I think I made it, but I doubt I was fooling anybody.
