Hi, I am a massive wuss who cries over anything and everything. I've been listening to Muse's Exogenesis symphony lately, though. It always gets to me. Part 1 (Overture): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=04QzovLe2JM&feature=related Part 2 (Cross-Pollination): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=svu5lu_-6jQ&feature=related Part 3 (Redemption): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HAfMVkz4AH8 It is basically the story of how we hosed up Earth badly enough to make it uninhabitable, and a few people packed up some genes and left everything they knew to colonize a new world, promising not to repeat the mistakes of the past. There is something so heartbreakingly truthful in it. By the time I get to the lyrics in Redemption there is no hope for my manliness.

Nothing gets me quite like the concentration camp scenes from Band of Brothers. The episode is aptly titled "Why We Fight". I've seen archival footage, but seeing it in colour with actors you got know through the series, makes it all too disturbingly real: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N89L20s-Zko&feature=related Don't read the comments.

For context: Several patients in the hospital needed transplants A-loving-SAP, and after one of JD's patients die from an assumed drug overdose, Dr. Cox thinks he's got the organs he needs. Unfortunately, after the transplants are done, it's discovered that JD's patient died of rabies, resulting in all of Dr. Cox's transplant patients dying. \/\/ oh god, that scene too

Dorothy's ending speech of "The Wizard of Oz". It's my favorite movie on Earth, and has been since I got the VHS tape of it at three. I cried hysterically then, and even when it comes on at Thanksgiving and Christmas every year, I'm right there on the couch, saying the words along with her, tears in my eyes. gently caress, I'm tearing up right the gently caress now thinking about it. From the day I saw it in theaters and every time after, I would cry at the end of "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King". I'd start tearing up when Aragorn realized that Arwen didn't go into the West because she wanted to stay with him, start crying as soon as every-loving-person in Minas Tirith bowed to the Hobbits and Aragorn says "My friends, you bow to no one."... and I'd be in hysterics when the Hobbits realize that Gandalf AND Frodo are going into the West with the remaining Elves. I also get a bit weepy when Tom Hanks (as Jim Lovell) shakes hands with the ACTUAL Jim Lovell at the end of the movie, and they do that little prologue where Tom Hanks kindly informs you that while Jack Swigart and Fred Haise got to go to the Moon finally, poor loving Jim NEVER loving GOT TO.

I can't find it on Youtube, but Lilo and Stitch (again) had a TV show where, of course, the other 625 and more experiments Jumbaa made all came crashing down to Earth. Some of Stitch's cousins could shoot lightning, some were chatterboxes....one deaged people to childhood. Seriously. Now the point of every episode is that Lilo and Stitch find the new experiment and try to find its 'place it belongs,' be it at a nursing home, a construction site, as a pet, etc. So they find this experiment that deages all the characters, minus Lilo, to toddlerhood or childhood. Once everyone gets turned back to normal, the question is where the hell this experiment can live, doing what it does, without bringing down the government on this thing (the re-aged characters admit that it was fun being a kid but you don't want to relive your life twice, etc). So where does the experiment end up? In the animal shelter. And the last scene in the episode is this experiment hiding, picking out a very old abandoned dog, and deaging it to a puppy, where it's playful and leaping around and gets adopted right away. And then the experiment repeats the process, over and over, giving all the old dogs a new chance.

I got this link from the 'gently caress yes moments in music' thread. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I_tIss1OhGM Sigur Ros - Ara Batur I am a huge music freak and dedicate pretty much all my spare time to discovering, writing and listening to music. While several songs move me immensely, never has a song made me openly weep, until I heard this. Several hours after listening to it I still feel frail. I can't even think of it without tearing up. I have never had an experience like this before. I feel like it was worth living just to hear this.

Jesus. I don't even know what to say. Amazing. To contribute-this song is a bit long and might come off as meandering to most, but it really hits home for me. I had a girlfriend that I really loved, but we were having problems...a series of events led me to discover that she didn't love me anymore, and in fact was in love with someone else. I was listening to this song when it all came to light and really started to sink in...2:30 especially. Very bittersweet.

 This graphic novel really got to me. There is a forward that reads: "Named after the dogs that tend to stare at the stars wistfully. Just as we all wish for something that we will never possess." I'm the sort of person who dreams constantly about things, people, places and experiences that will probably never be mine to hold, so the personal effect was strong for me. Bit of a funny story though: The first time I read this I was in a Barnes & Noble by myself. I was listening to music and as I continued to read, I came to a part of the book that was extremely emotional. The protagonist dies after forming a very close kinship with the dog. Not long after this, the dog dies as well. There is a beautiful few pages where what seems like an afterlife is shown. The owner and the dog are reunited, happier than ever. The dog is completely overjoyed to be in the arms of his owner and taken for a walk once again. At the moment when the dog and his owner are reunited, this song was playing on my ipod and hit the 2:18 mark: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P6wJiweByng I've never had more difficulty holding back tears in public.

"Yeh Kya Jagah Hai Doston" ("What Is This Place, Friends?") from the 1981 Indian film Umrao Jaan. The main character was kidnapped as a child and sold into a brothel where she grew up as a high-class courtesan until becoming a refugee. She finds herself in a village that she later realizes is the one she was kidnapped from, but the people there are just "Oh hey a whore, how about you dance for us?" so she performs this song and oh god she just wants a place to call home and someone to love her for real  I can't even think about this clip without tearing up, Rekha just nails it.quote:What is this place, friends?

The first time I saw Joanna Newsom perform Emily. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RGX8pIPQXZ4 Wasn't this show, but the same tour, it was just, beautiful. Tears still start to form a bit everytime I get lost in this song. This one only made me cry the first time I saw it, but it's an amazing scene so I'll post it anyway: Pippin's song from Return of the King. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=07tyg4JZWkA This guy is sending his son to his death, and disgustingly devouring his feast, all set to Pippin's heartbreaking song and the realization that he pledged his allegiance to mad man. Definitely my favourite scene of the trilogy, it even has Sloth!  Also the original ending to Futurama: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cIYj9IJFhlg
