tearjerkers :(

[MackemX]

seeing as there is a lot of male bonding going on in certain threads, I thought I'd ask this . At 8pm on Channel 4 (UK) tonight there is the top 100 tear jerking moments in TV/Sport/Movies

what is your tearjerker moment that brought a tear to your eyes?

one I can instantly recall is watching the Twin Towers collapsing live on TV knowing people were inside at the time

When I met William Shatner at synagogue and he ignored me. I said what a poor "sole"/soul.

The Terry Fox Story

[rallynavvie]

One of my girlfriends kicked me really hard in the groin once just to see what sort of reaction it would have on me, oddly not out of malice or anything of the sort (she was an odd one). I cried pretty hard then I think.

If we're talking moments in cinema I can't even make it to the final credits in Schindler's List. The last part where he has to flee allied persecution and they give him that ring, and how he bemoans the fact that his gold pin could have bought more lives. The kicker is at the very end where the actors/actresses and their real-life counterparts put stones on Oskar Schindler's grave while Perlman plays that wonderfully moving melody on the fiddle. Damn...

The 9/11 tragedy didn't move me to tears as I witnessed it occuring live. No, I was absolutely horrified as I watched it and the aftermath. It wasn't until later that I could grieve over that event.

Brian's Song (The Movie)

[tgpo]

THe only time I was clase to tears in a movie was while watching The Passion of the Christ. Other than that movie no movie has made me feel as if I were about to cry because I always had it in the back of my head that this is just a movie, but TPOTC hit that nerve that no other movie had done before and will probably never do again.

[MackemX]

TPOTC has just been on recently in the high 80's or something

When Seabiscuit came back from the leg injury and won his final race.

Hello,

Detroiters will remember the LAST GAME AT TIGER STADIUM. My parents went to that game. Very touching. All of the retired TIGERS came out on to the field. Very moving..... What was that 1999????

When Rudy finally got into Notre Dame in the movie "Rudy".

[pacmania_2001]

In Mr Hollands Opus where at the end he walks into the auditorium and all his past students are there.

[Conquest10]

Futurama episodes "Luck Of The Fryrish" and "Jurassic Bark".

[doppletwo]

The Movie Short Circuit II.

When Johnny 5 is bleeding battery acid, I alomost cried.

I have never have actually cried from a movie though.

Ya buncha pussies. (J/K don't flame me for that.)

[VCDHunter]

When Seabiscuit came back from the leg injury and won his final race.

I sobbed at that too but I wept like a bitch at Free Willy

[Capmaster]

In Mr Hollands Opus where at the end he walks into the auditorium and all his past students are there.

I thought the point where he is playing and singing the song he dedicated to his son Cole, and hits that point in the song where he mentions him. Very tough not to blubber like a school girl

[Pwyll]

The end of Shawshank. Red giving the solemn narrative about missing his friend and his fears and wants. They close with him walking up the beach to see his friend for the first time in years and that awesome musical score fires up.

verklempt.

[ViRaL1]

Man, I'm must be just a complete ******* *******. I don't cry.

[Capmaster]

Man, I'm must be just a complete ******* *******. I don't cry.

Not necessarily. Some do, some don't. No biggie

Some movies just choke me up. I have to pretend to get up to go to the john so Pam doesn't see the excessive blinking

[smearbrick1]

AT the end of most Jerry Bruckheimer films, there is always that single moment amongst the carnage and explosions that makes you all choked up. Ex: In Con Air when Nicolas Cage meets his daughter for the first time and she says "I've got a picture of you." Then, that Trisha Yearwood tune gets louder and louder and finally builds to a massive "How do I live without you... I want to know." Pretty teary...

Other than that... right before the final credits of the movie "...and The Band Played On". There are all of these different scenes of people who died from AIDS and the families. Over this, they are playing "The Last Song" by Elton John. Very sad.

[slimmx]

I cried out of joy when Victor Yuschenko won the elections in Ukraine .

I hope this is not against the no politics rule.

[Capmaster]

Nope

[Ripper2860]

At the last scene of Boogey Nights!!

[Faustus]

Friend of mine once loaned me a copy of Pay it Forward. I asked if it was like some ultra sad movie. "Not that bad really" he says.

2 hours after putting it in the conversation went somethng like this.

Picks up the phone.
"Hello?"
"**** YOU DICK!"
*click*

Several points during Schindler's List.

Saving Private Ryan -- when an old Ryan is at Sgt. Miller's grave wondering if he had lived a good life and if his life had been worthy of the lives lost in bringing him home.

Phildelphia -- when Tom Hanks leaves the final lawyers office (Denzel Washington) after refusing to take his case. As Tom Hanks exits exits the building onto the street. The painful look of desperation and rejection was heart-breaking. Although that one scene only lasted a few seconds -- it still haunts me today.

Note: I'm am constantly amazed by the power of film. The fact that light dancing on a flat screen can convey such emotion and cause someone to suspend belief and immerse them into the movie or scene and in some cases affect one in a very emotional and profound way.

[ViRaL1]

I gotta start skimming these. So many spoilers.

[northcat_8]

I also cried when Billy Bob Thornton got the role in Monster's Ball instead of me

[northcat_8]

Man, I'm must be just a complete ******* *******

No shit dude...where you been? Everyone else already knew that
