There's an episode in the second season of Scrubs called "My Philosophy". In the episode, JD and Elaine (a patient) talk about death and what they think happens. Elaine says she hopes it's like a big musical, with people singing at the top of their lungs. At the end of the episode, she dies. And the cast plus Elaine does a small musical number by Colin Hay called "Waiting for my Real Life to Begin". It destroys me. I completely fall apart. It always makes me think of my mom's last moments and I feel like I did then. gently caress you Bill Lawerence and your drat genius mind.

The hair salon scene from Rampage. he didn't want to kill them, but he needed a drink so he took his helmet off and they saw him. He actually left the salon before returning to correct his mistake. He even says "Shouldn't have taken off my helmet." as he exits the scene.

Pretty much the last quarter of Everything is Illuminated. There are no good youtube clips out there for it, but below are spoilers: Basically, it's about a young Jew who goes to one Ukraine to track down where his family came from. He employs a christian translator and his very anti-semitic grandfather to drive him to the small village where his (the jewish guys) grandfather grew up, and escaped from during the holocaust. When they get there it turns out that the only resident is an old lady who doesn't know that the war is even over (this was around 2001 I think). She recognizes the translator's grandfather as a boy who grew up in the same village with her. On the way back home the translator's grandfather commits suicide in a hotel tub (my only guess is the extreme shame of having lived his life as a lie), and the closing scene has their entire family burying him in the home town, all wearing yamaka's, having accepted their Jewish heritage. I'd highly recommend the movie, it's very well written and performed!

Let's see... 1) The ending to Watership Down. Cried when I read the book, cried at the movie. 2) The scene in Empire of the Sun when Jim reunites with his mother. 3) Up. In front of my kid, of course. "Daddy, are you crying?" "Maybe a little, hon." 4) Gladiator, at the point in the final scene where he is walking through the fields to return home 5) In Seabiscuit (the book), in the description of George Woolf's final ride on Please Me before he fell to his death. I'm sure there's more weepy moments, but those are what I can think of right now.

Mark Greene's death in ER https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v3ErmPtp19s Partly because of it being the death of a character I'd become emotially invested in, which made me cry at the time, and partly because it reminds me of my father, who also died from a brain tumour. and Yeah Yeah Yeah's - Soft Shock (acoustic version) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y1d3r3tB3OE Mainly when the violin kicks in.

When my uncle was dying of organ failure a few years ago, he hung on about 3 months longer than he should have. His one and only reason for surviving as long as he did was that he was afraid to leave his wife behind.

Can anyone help me find a video about a young man (he was British/Irish, if I remember) that had a terminal illness and made the video, detailing the events leading up to his death. I remember him narrating most, if not all, of the video. I also remember him being in a wheelchair (as well as a pretty snazzy dresser  ). I just read through the entire thread hoping it had been posted, but didn't see it. I know it was posted in one of the previous threads, but I don't have archives.

I get choked up by signs held up in movies, it seems. Most recently at the end of The Muppets when everyone turned up to show their love of the Kermit and the gang, but before that there was The Boat That Rocked (Pirate Radio in the US). When their ship is going down, they get rescued by fans. The one sign they held up that got to me the most was "We Heard You!" Just really touching and makes me smile and cry happy tears. Not all crying has to be sad, people!

Reviving this because a friend of mine just posted the saddest goddamn thing on Facebook. He works at a used bookstore. my bookseller friend posted:You work your way through a collection of used rock 'n' roll books. Some look pretty beat up, some look like new. Bent dust jackets, creases on the covers. Personal and junk mail in many of them: credit card applications, pay stubs, wedding invitations. The whole time you're thumbing through them you wonder what the person was like, why he had so many books on the subject, why they are in the condition they are in. And then you find the oncology appointment card for radiation treatment and your heart drops like a ton of bricks and it's like... poo poo. All of a sudden the collection has it's story. You know what these books were for and that they aren't just some used collection of stacks of paper bound together and thrown away. They have meaning, and you wonder at what small solace they might have provided, and how, oh God, they ended up in front of you.

I was going through my DVR today and saw something that had clearly been there a while. I hadn't recorded it, so one of my roommates must have. I ddidn't think it had even been watched. It was a Rugrats episode. Specifically, the Mother's Day episode, where everyone learns about Chuckie's mom. I cried so hard while watching it.

I work for a guy who, when he was much younger, had to choose between music and what would become his career. When he talks about that decision it's obvious that he still ponders it from time to time especially now. His daughter plays the same instrument he did and this past year was presented with the same choice; she chose music. We knew she flew somewhere across the country for her audition with her dad and we knew that he thought she had done well. A month or so later when she burst into the building, ran into his office and squealed we didn't have to ask what that was about. She had done better than well. This fall my boss drove his entire family to the other side of the country to drop off his oldest daughter for her fist year of college. The usual happened, the night before the family was to head back my boss' daughter realized how far away she was going to be from her home and started to panic. The next morning my boss took his daughter out for breakfast before anyone else woke up and handed her a letter that he had started writing when she had made the decision to go to school for music. In the letter he told her how proud they were of her, how excited he was for her to start this new journey and how much he believed in her ability to be whoever she wanted to be. He left her to read this on her own and when he came back she was a mess of tears but resolute. She knew she could do this and she knew her family would always be there to support her no matter what. The amount of pride and affection my boss has on his face when he talks about his daughter, it's wonderful. I've had that story relayed to me in bits and pieces over the past few months and every time I try to share it with someone else it makes me all teary. Unconditional love and support is a beautiful thing.

Seeing my grandfather look into my grandmother's coffin and then just wordlessly look away. Hoping that anybody didn't see his tears. It killed me. It was as if everything else in that moment didn't matter. I couldn't stop thinking about the difference between us. I will never be able to put into words the sadness that he must have felt in that one moment. I'm just sad that he now knows what that feels like. I cry every time I think of that.

chefvinny posted:'I'll love you forever, I'll like you for always...' Monday, one of my co-workers brought this for my boss. She noted how much he loved his mother, much like the story. As she flipped through the book, I could see where this was leading. I told her to stop. I had to walk away, for my mom died 11 and 1/2 years ago, and I never have the chance to return the love and care she gave to me. I weep right now as I type this. I'm a man who turned 38 today. I've seen things and done things in my life. My only regret, I never told my mom how much she ment to me.

Andre Rieu's of rendition of Amazing Grace reminds of how my grandma (who passed away from lung cancer at the age of sixty nine in June) wouldn't watch the Remembrance Day parade when the bagpipes came because they made her cry. Andre Rieu is coming to Vancouver soon and there's no way I won't be crying my eyes out if he plays that.

The Willard Suitcase Exhibitquote:When Willard Psychiatric Center in New York's Finger Lakes closed in 1995, workers discovered hundreds of suitcases in the attic of an abandoned building. Many of them appeared untouched since their owners packed them decades earlier before entering the institution. People's entire lives summed up by the contents of one small suitcase. Many of them were committed to the asylum for multiple decades just for being depressed or epileptic or for having a breakdown or for being 'sarcastic' and they lived out the rest of their lives in confinement, often shunned by their family. Some of them weren't even medicated for the last few decades of their lives, they'd recovered from their illnesses but they'd been institutionalized for so long they just couldn't function in society anymore and had nowhere else to go.

I just watched The Magdalene Sisters and it's got to be the most depressing movie I've ever seen. Especially since the real life Magdalene Asylums were apparently way worse than how it's depicted in the film and the last one only shut down in the mid nineties. The fact that you could get sent off to be a slave for years for being raped or flirting with boys is just scary and sad. Here's the movie:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xdSmjIvJ8Dc
