gets me everytime. As for tv, for me, its gotta be Futurama episode Jurasic Bark. It actually got nominated for an Emmy for that episode, which aired back in 2002 I believe. I cry like a baby everytime at the end
Heres the ending, but it has more affect if you watch the whole episode of course.

Hell, I get chocked up just reading the plot from the wiki page,..im such a wuss lol
Jurassic Bark - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Heres some real life dogs that pretty much followed suite.

I thought I responded to this last night, I apparently botched it.
Just reading about Shep made me nearly lose it so I couldnt read the others. Anything with Dogs dying will make me lose it though. I just saw the end of Marley and Me last night. Awful .
Night before I watched Time Travelers Wife again and cried, again. The worst for me is The Notebook I'll cry about every little thing that happens for a solid week after watching that movie. Hits home due to my Grandmother a bit too much for comfort.
Just to throw my husband under the bus, he cries when he sees the Van Gogh episode of Dr Who. I just was curious if that gets to anyone else , as I tease him about it pretty hard core. Just want to give him some vindication if there is any lol. I recently bought him the exploding Tardis poster just to see if it would set him off.

THIS THREAD NEEDS SPOILER ALERTS, DAMMITT!!!!!
Not a big chick-flick fan, but this was beautiful. Really like Gerard Butler's stuff.
For me:
Numerous scenes in Out Of Gas, favourite episode of Firefly.
The endings of *several* Peter Strauss films.
The salute at the end of Saving Private Ryan I thought seemed a bit cheesily done, yet for some reason it still makes me well up.
WALL-e was just silly crying. First watched it curled up with the Mrs. Beautiful film.
Hi. I'm a cyborg.
Awesome film!!!

That whole movie had nothing but sad moments in it. I was shocked it is even considered a comedy. The end with him running for his son, down to "Forever and ever babe".

Saving Private Ryan, at the end, definitely. And several of some mentioned many times in this topic. Then a real odd one for generating tears--
The Hudsucker Proxy. When Death is shown to have no teeth.
Now, two that I'll bet a lot of you guys have never seen, one old, one not so old--
On the Beach
Amazing Grace and Chuck.
They have similar themes and, yes, the last one is a real film, with Gregory Peck in one of his last (if not the last) roles. Actually, Peck is in both films! Tears or not, both films are really good. AG&C will be hard to find, but it is really worth it. Roger Ebert and Gene Siskel went nuts about this film, trying to get better distribution for it!

City of Angels, The Cure, Dead Poet Society,...
My Girl - that one gets me every time!:cry
The Green Mile - although the book made me cry even more
Forrest Gump - the ending at her grave
Titanic - well, I was 13 back then and more likely to cry
Oh, and this one was terrible as a child:

I've seen On the Beach, both the original and the remake with Brian Brown, and although I prefer the original, the remake isn't bad.
Me too. From boredom and frustration, though. :lol
Seriously. Those kids were making decisions that would have seemed crazy to a three-year-old.
Agghh, me too...

LOL! Good one actually, I find most of the nu-Who sentiment really over the top, and that ep's no exception but then again...it works, too.
I never bawl but I do tear up once in a while. Reliable ones are the opening of UP and the scene where Hiccup first connects with Toothless in How to Train Your Dragon. Flawless music, direction and animation come together and I'm a waterworks. :lol
The Muppet Movie...when Kermit is singing Rainbow Connection....
Braveheart....when Robert the Bruce is feeling guilty about betraying William Wallace...
Green Mile...when they have to execute John Cofee
and of course the end of Toy Story 3.....I have to fight the tears back every time...

I would just like to point out that this anguishing film (Grave of the Fireflies) is based on a true story. The author wrote the novel (which the film is based) as an apology to his sister. I can understand the frustration, but I am not sure how one can watch this film and be bored by the story's overwhelming and profound humanity, not to mention the exquisitely gorgeous animation.
I have to admit to getting choked up in some moments of supreme wonder in Malick's new film, TREE OF LIFE. An amazing, beautiful film.

Kinda nice reading some of the posts in this thread. A lot of very familiar tear jerking scenes!
I think the one that still gets me the most is Artax in the swamps of sadness.
Ever since I was a kid, and all the way till now, I can barely watch that scene without falling into a horrible depression, and crying like a baby. It's the damn look on that horses face, and the nostrils flaring, and Atreyu screaming/crying..
GUH. I'm getting sad just typing about it!
My grandmother died when I was 6, the year after land before time came out. It was my first really big experience with death, and losing someone close to me. So yeah, it destroyed me. And whenever I'd watch littlefoots mom die in Land Before Time, or when she talks to him later, I'd just lose it. Still do. It automatically triggered every horrible feeling of death and loss in me, and I'd have to run and hold my mother, because I was afraid she would die.
Psychologists would have a hell of a time with me! haha
Hmm.. i'll try to think of some others.

I would like to point out that it's a tenuous connection to the truth, at best. It's an animated film adapted from a novel which itself was only semi-autobiographical - with emphasis on the 'semi'. (If it had been more autobiographical, then it'd be ghost-written, literally!)
The animation was done on contract by Studio Ghibli so gorgeousness is a given, but in Ghibli's own films that is usually coupled with more sympathetic characters who behave more naturally. (I'm not saying children don't make stupid, self-destructive decisions, especially under stress, but I am saying it's difficult to form sympathy with a character like Seita who inexplicably does nothing else.)
I'm sceptical that the author's real-life decisions during the war were as comprehensively childish and foolhardy as those portrayed in the film. If they were, then that's tragic, but I stand by my remarks; it's still a frustrating film to watch and hugely over-rated, IMO.
