The Furnished Room by O' Henry, followed by the anime X. Oh, and Requiem for a Dream. I was not glad I watched that.

Sorry, but goddamn I hate you right now. The Jonathon Coulton song made me bawl. It really makes you imagine how lonely and weird being in space must of been for the dog, and those final words "I wonder if you can hear me bark from here" (may of got it wrong) just made me cry. As for that Kermit song, bloody hell wow. I grew up with the muppets, and it's just so sad to hear Kermit singing about the death of his "dad". Those two songs were beautiful, but they sure are depressing.CrazyGirl17 said:

This! So much this.teqrevisited said:
There's basically always at minimum one point in every Band of Brothers episode that makes you either silently weep or cry like a baby (although the gut gripping point for me would be when Buck Compton has his breakdown in Bastogne).
Hm... for films, the intro to Up! caused me to shed some tears.
The end of Toy Story 3 had my crying. Not a sad cry though, more like a... happy "this is the end it deserves" cry.
For TV, luck of the Fryish hit me pretty good.
For games, well it's more of a visual novel but I'll use it anyway since no game has made me cry yet, but Katawa Shoujo is surprisingly emotional. Gave me genuine moments of happiness, laughter, worry, and sadness.
But some games did get me close. The endings for Infamous 2 got me teary eyed. And Mordin's final moment on Tuchanka...

Oh god damnit, I keep starting Bebop again before remembering the ending and stopping so I don't have to cry at it again.Radox Redux said:Still this:
And I have a fairly sizable list.
Just before the end of Wall-E where it makes you think he's forgotten everything that happened.
The ending of Is Anybody There? where Michael Caine's senile old magician sees his dead wife before succumbing to dementia.
The final scene of Garth Marenghi's Darkplace, not for the show, just the fact that there will never be any more than six half hour episodes of the greatest television ever created.
Braid, because Tim's trying to redeem himself but what he did can't be forgiven.
The John/Vriska dream bubble sequence in Homestuck. Killing off my favourite character wasn't enough, Hussie had to go and make me weep over her afterlife too.
Johnny Cash's cover of NIN's Hurt. I haven't heard the original, and I don't need to, Cash put so much emotion into it. I heard it for the first time in years a few ago and cried like a baby.
And finally Con Air, with the soundtrack, and the bunny, and Nicholas Cage's face, I cried unironic tears and am not ashamed of that.
I'm far too easily affected by any typical Shakespearean tragedy, although usually when they're done more subtley than Shakespeare's own work. Leon and Dr Horrible are the only two exmaples I can think of, but I'm pretty sure there's more. Can't remember media stuff well enough in general to say something specific.
For music, can't think of anything, sometimes there's a song that will hit a nerve or something if it's particularly relevent to me at the time, otherwise can't really call any of it depressing or sad.
For games, every time my top men died in X-COM... Or more seriously Homeworld. Multiple genocides in that game, can think of three of the top of my head, each for a different reason and each one was horribly depressing to think about.

Aw shit I forgot to include the last 10 minutes of Six Feet Under when I originally replied to this thread.
I still can't rewatch it. Fucking traumatizing. TOO MUCH CLOSURE.

Either Final Fantasy Crisis Core on the PSP... (I replayed the ending 3 times and cried the first 2 times)
Or Elfen Lied, an anime. (I replayed the last episode 4 times and cried the first 2 times as well)
Saddest book should be On The Road by Cormac McCarthy.

Well, Cheaper by the Dozen made me cry, because Beans died... Strangely enough, though, I didn't shed a tear when I saw the end of Titanic... I guess a song that would make me cry would be... Well there was this one sad country song that was sort of father-and-son related, but I can't find it, or put the name of it in my mind... I saw a recording of a concert (NPT documentary-thingy) where the guy just started singing it, apparently without letting the band know, or something... It made me cry, though....
I'll agree with infamous 2. I played it through and got the good ending, which was incredibly sad. I then played through again to get the bad ending, assuming it would be the kind of aimless evil that bad endings in games normally are, but there was an incredibly sad moment in that too.blacking512 said:
Also, this
The fox and the hound kept me crying from the first time (about when i was 7 or 8) i saw it till i got to 16 and my emotions steeled, or maybe i just learned how to prepare for that scene where the grandma leaves the fox in the forest...
Final Fantasy Crisis Core made me cry the first and second time but after that just a sad face and watery eyes
Iron giant got me when i was a kid but it wore off eventually in the start of my teenage years
There are others but i can't recall them, i'll edit them in later if i remember

Music- The whole album Hospice by the antlers... It is about a doctor who falls in love with one of his patients stricken with cancer -
The gaslight anthem- 1930 , about the lead singers brian fallons grandmother most potent line " I love you more than the stars in the sky, but your name just escapes me tonight"
Jeff buckly: Hallelujah said yet beutiful
I really don't have that much else , music is what i spend most of my time occupied with
game's probably one or another can't remember specifics , Probably red dead.

I thought I'd blocked that movie out. That wasn't so much depressing as it was unrelentingly cruel, almost to the point of feeling exploitive. I kept expecting a reprieve or a 'point' of some kind, but it just kept going and going and she got none. Ugh, now I feel dirty again, damn you!Padwolf said:
