I've seen a lot of sad moments in stories, but very few of them have ever actually made me cry. One I can recall was The I Love You Song from The Twenty Fifth Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee.

So, what stories have actually made you cry?

Generally the only times a movie will make me misty-eyed is through a Manly Tears-evoking moment.

How easy it is to make me cry kinda fluctuates.

Latest one I can think of: Hollis Mason's death in Watchmen. Why on earth did they cut that scene from the theatrical cut?

That scene with the mother and her two children in their room... Oh, God, they're starting as I type this...

The Bridge to Terabithia movie. I cried my eyes out.

Oh, and the ending of the 7th Harry Potter movie. Even thinking "If you hadn't paused to give that heartstring-tugging inspirational speech, you wouldn't be dead, idiot" couldn't stop me from crying.

A lot of shit. A whole fucking hell of a lot. So many it would take too long to list them all. I can give a weird example that is personal to me though. Weird example of something that makes me cry is Surfs Up. My father used to be a surfer. I looked up to him a lot and wanted to be a surfer just like him. Then he quit one day because of an accident he got in. Cody and Big Z have a similar relationship. My father and I also used to watch surf documentaries a lot together. Surfs Up is very accurate in matching the tone and style of those. Very accurate.

Up (both the opening montage and the scene where Carl finds their scrapbook), the end of Toy Story 3, and the end of It's A Wonderful Life. Every. Damn. Time.

The scene in Pearl Harbor after the battle where they are trying to rescue the men in the overturned and sinking ships.

Any book dealing with the reaction to Abraham Lincoln's death.

The last few episodes of Clannad made me cry so much I had to stop the show so I could get a towel because I couldn't see through my tears.

A lot of Princess Tutu, but particularly the last couple episodes.

Especially the dance at the bottom of the lake, prior to which Fakir stabs himself in the hand to keep Drosselmeyer from using him to hurt Ahiru. TT//////////TT

  • Boromir's death in The Lord of the Rings. I've seen it like 20 times and it still makes me cry sometimes.
    • Sam being told to go home.

I don't even know what that is and it made me cry!
