Moments in your favourite series that still make you feel sad

[Phoenix09215]

Okay, so we all have those moments in games, movies, a tv series etc. what really get to us. Now, I'm not ashamed to admit that over my time spent in front of a tv screen playing games or watching movies, I have shed a few tears. So, the question is "Are there any moments in games, tv shows, novels, or movies that still make you feel sad?"

So here are mine. The first is from Metal Gear Solid 3, and the second from Futurama.

Spoiler

Its my favourite game and The Boss is in my opinion is the most tragic character in any video game (of which I have played)

Spoiler

My God my I'm crying right now... Something about this clip always gets me!

In Video Games: For Sad, I guess Metal Gear Solid 3 would be the highest on my list, but it made me feel down, but I didn't cry. Now, for a game that has made me cry but not sad, King Kong: The Official Game of the Movie.

TV Shows: I have yet to find a tv show that made me get that emotional. I guess if I had to say something, I would not choose Jurassic Bark, because it's so overdone and go with the ending of the Futurama episode "The Luck of the Fryish" for sad, but also kind of uplifting. As for crying, I can't name one show.

Novels: I don't read that much, although Watchmen (Shut up, it's a graphic novel/comic book/whatever) made me sad.

Movies: For sad, any movie that has drugs as part of the main story will always leave me sad (I cannot watch Requiem for a Dream ever again because I wanted to end my life shortly thereafter), and a close second for me would be A Scanner Darkly.

As for crying, everything I cry to is either simple romance (Wall-E has the perfect simple romance) or anything being saved and/or rescued in movies. Also really beautiful imagery

Spoiler: Cowboy Bebop

When Faye sits down in the ruins of her old house after leaving the party on earth.

That gets me every time.

Well, I've got two movies that always make me sad(der).

<url=http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/326.231661>Snow Angels is the first. For some reason, likely due to the alcohol abuse from one of the characters, I sob throughout that movie.

The second is <url=http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/326.264833>Just Peck. Near the end, things happen, and I get really sad, as I can empathize heavily with both of the lead characters.

*goes off to cry*

In the Dark Tower when Stephen King basically says, "Yeah, my life in this story is more important than my fans happiness."

 

[Sniper Team 4]

I still get a little tear in my eye when Aeris dies. No, I'm not putting spoiler tags because if you don't know what I'm talking about, you have been living under a rock.

That Futurama clip in the original post makes me so sad that, whenever that episode is on, I don't watch it.

Spoiler: Massive Clannad spoilers!!

Spoiler: Do not dare to click this if you have not watched Clannad. You should go watch it instead

The scene where Ushio and Tomoya hug and cry in the meadow, and once again when Tomoya cries over Nagisa on the train back.

If that doesn't make you sad you aren't human. Well, you're probably human, but you lose your are a feelingless person made of rock, even by the standards of me; a callous bastard.

I've also come to grow more fond of the scene where Fuko disappears.

 

[Genixma]

Firefly...when it ended. Oh damn here I go

Spoiler: dont click if you haven't finished Code Geass R2

When Lelouch keels over, everyone is cheering while Nunnaly is balling tears...I so wanted to punch the crowd in the face. No one even helped her.

 

[GundamSentinel]

Ninja'd by the OP. Killing The Boss was one of the most tragic events in my gaming experience.

Spoiler: This one was pretty bad too...

 

[AvsJoe]

Final Fantasy VII. Aeris' death. I don't cry, but damn do I feel sad every time I get there.

 

[DefunctTheory]

No, Brock, don't leave the Venture compound!

 

[Darkrain11]

The ending to Megaman Zero 4 always manages to make me sad. If you are a Zero fan, or just a fan of Megman X, then you can understand what I mean. Watch the video to see Zero's finest moment.

Somehow the ending to Lufia 2 Rise of the Sinistrals still gets to me. Sweet nostalgia...

 

[Shoggoth2588]

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. The end of the movie (part 1) but not-quite-as-recently, the middle of the book. Well not middle: more specifically the end of chapter 23/ beginning of Chapter 24. I cry every time. EVERY. DAMNED. TIME. p.q

 

[PunkRex]

The Death of Corperal Heart in Timesplitters 2... you had to just leave her arse... the station was blowing up... and there were ugly arse aliens coming out the walls... a true soilders death, she will be remembered in the actions I take everytime I blow a hole in one of thses ugly mofos.

The first time Rock Lee doubts himself in front of Guy sensei after his encounter with Garra... sad times.

Also I dont know if anyone else on this site watched Supernatural but the episode with the rascist, ghost truck (WAIT WAIT WAIT, DONT LAUGH) and the old lady and she talks about all the crap that happened with her old boyfriends and the church full of kids, multiplied with the music and the fact her and her daughter start crying... I sad now...

Spoiler: Gurren Lagann

When Kamina was killed in episode 8.

And also

Spoiler: Ghost In The Shell 2nd GiG

In episode 11 when that woman told the story of those two kids. After she finish telling it, you soon realise who those kids really are.

 

[PunkRex]

Although I agree with the Jurrasic Bark comments whole heartedly (Im a big animal person) it always causes people to overlook the The Sting episode. I understand if it didnt tug your heart strings quite as much but I loved Leela and when she starts to break down right at the end and begins to cry... aaaarwww man its heavy stuff.

Spoiler: Gurren Lagann

When Kamina was killed in episode 8.

OOOOOOKAY with this comment this thread has ofically become to much for me, im out!

For me, in Law & Order: Criminal intent, its the big argument in the episode "Purgatory" that Goren and Eames have about Goren going undercover. When I first watched the episode, part of me wanted to smack Goren upside the head about not telling Eames, and the other part of me wanted to shake Eames for not listening to why Goren took the assignment in the first place.

That was quickly taken over when I watched "Frame" (both "Purgatory" and "Frame" are in the same season) and the whole story of

Spoiler

Goren's older brother is murdered by his nemesis, Nicole Wallace, who was persuaded to do so, by Goren's mentor, Declan Gage, who then went on to murder Nicole Wallace. Goren was framed for his brothers murder, and Goren's captain revealed who Goren's father was (a serial killer who was executed in season 6). Anyhoo, Goren eventually finds out that Gage murdered Nicole, and gave her the idea to kill his brother. The reason Gage gives for doing this was to ease Goren's burdens of worrying about his brother and his arch nemesis.

I must admit, it was some fantastic acting by Vincent D'Onofrio, who plays Goren, and Kathryn Erbe, who plays Eames throughout that whole season.
