Last night, in watching my recorded copy of the Series Finale of HBO's Six Feet Under, the tears began a good 5 minutes before the episode ended, and just kept coming, heavier and heavier.

Prior to that, I had been moved to tears at various times, but don't remember breaking down that much. Closest thing I can remember to having that kind of breakdown was when the final line of "Life is Beautiful" was spoken.

Things don't have to be sad to make me cry - they just have to be true.

So when was the last time a story really powerfully moved you to tears?

I was extremely close to tears at parts of the novel The Stand. I did cry when a certain character passed away in The Talisman.

I'm pretty sure OSC has made me tear up as well, but it's been a long time so I don't remember when. (No, I am not saying his writing has lost its power to affect me. I'm saying that I read most of his novels a relatively long time ago, and only read one or two new novels a year from him now, so he has fewer opportunities to hit me that way.

I think one of the stories in Folk of the Fringe really got to me. The one about the little boy in the closet?

The book Ordinary People made me cry. (But this is not "the last time," this is when I was in high school.) When I was in college, The Prince of Tides totally f*cked me up, though I knew it was manipulative and a horribly inaccurate portrayal of psychotherapy.
 
Posted by Javert (Member # 3076) on :
 
I shed some tears near the end of The Dark Tower. I don't believe I've ever cried for a movie or tv show, but the last book that did it to me was On the Beach several years ago.

SPOILER WARNING FOR HARRY POTTER AND HBP (BOOK 6)


At the end of Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince I had a feeling the Dumbledore would die so I only teared up, but when Fleur de la Couer started yelling at Mrs. Weasley over Bill's mangled body -

"' You thought I woul dnot weesh to marry him? Or per'aps, you hoped...What do I care how looks? I am good looking enough for the both of us, I theenk! All these scars show is zat my husband is brave! And I shall do zat!' she added fierecy, pushing Mrs. Weasley aside and snatching the ointment from her."

That was where I started to cry.

Though plenty a book or movie has constricted my throat or misted my eye, I don't think any piece of fiction has produced actual tears, or made me all out bawl. Damn this cold tin heart of mine.
 
Posted by EndertheJedi (Member # 7889) on :
 
MOst of OSC's books have gotten me the firrst time butsince I have read most of them several years ago its been awhile
I havent reead The Dark Tower yet but I think It might get because that series is just so good
the only movies to ever make me cry were
the Fox and the Hound (as a kid)
and Revenge of the Sith. Obi-wan s speech, the murder of the children, the jedi being shot.

I also cried during HP.
 
Posted by Taalcon (Member # 839) on :
 
It kind of shocks me that I've cried more over fiction than I have at having family (in my case at this point, admittedly, only great-grandparents) die. Their deaths made me sad, sure, but I didn't shed a single tear.

Having beloved fictional characters die, on the other hand, has often turned me into a watery mess.
 
Posted by Ophelia (Member # 653) on :
 
Me too.

Edit: This was supposed to come right after Raia's post.

And as long as I'm editing, I'd like to include the episode of Futurama about Fry's dog. The end of it, with the dog just sitting outside the pizzaria for however many years, always makes me sniffle.

I prbably would have cried at dumbledores death if my friend who always reads the ending first had not yelled it out to everyone the day before i read that aprt , right in the mddle of a TCG tounament at the locla card shop, too.but when I actually read it even with the warning Iwas so shocked I couldnt breath for about 3-4 seconds.

For me, there are three and im secure enough in my masculinity to admit this! I cried when I saw "The Prom" and "Becoming P2" of Buffy TVS. I just got into the show a week or two ago and have only seen seasons 1-3 but it is incredibly good.

Edit: To add my third, I cried at the end of HP for reasons obvious to everyone who has read it.

The most emotionally-hellish movie ever made: "A.I." I think that one really gets me 'cause I'm a mom, and as a child I had a mom who was there but wasn't there, if you know what I mean.

Also the movie "Pay it Forward."

Or maybe it's just any movie that Hayley Joe is in. [Confused]

This is the reason that I didn't cry at Dumbledore's death actually, but instead at a moment earlier in the book when Harry comes in and is with Ron and Hermione in one scene. I can't even remember what was going on, but for just a moment, I had a really strong sense of what their friendship is like, and it really hit home and brought tears to my eyes.

I don't generally cry at books, movies, anything, but at the end of HP 6 when Ginny came over and put her hand in Harry's and took him away, I felt a tear. I think the funeral scene also made me teary a bit.

SPOILERS


When Fleur and Mrs. Weasely hugged immediatedly after KEGE's quoted I admittedly teared. I just sighed at Dumbledore's death because I wasn't suprised and thought if he was going to die, book 7 would have been more appropriate. I have never actually "bawled" over fictioned, just some welling up of tears and I blame that on my overactive tear glands.

I dont know about anyone else, but I bawled starting when DD died all the way through the end of The HBP.

I know I am extra sensitive, there are even some commercials that make me cry, most recent is a credit card commercial. The one with the Bride and her father. It shows flash backs to her child hood durring the wedding. "You are the Wind Beneath My Wings" plays throughout the commercial. It is just beautiful.

I know its sad, but it is uncontrollable! [Cry]

SPOILERS

I knew D was going to die in HP6 (it got spoiled for me, but I think it was my own fault for not paying attn to spoiler warnings) but it STILL got to me (because I am a sucker). But KEGE's quote, yes, THAT is what got me. Oh. my. gawd. I cried at several things in that book (not the least of which was D's death, even though expected, it was the manner and the time D spent with HP--oh! The getting of the Horcrux and begging HP 'no more' oh oh I'm going to cry again).

I've lost my train of thought.

Lost Boys made me cry and I have recommended it to many many people who otherwise well-versed in OSC, have never heard of this title. Is it out of print? I got it at the library so I have no idea. It's an amazing book, on so many levels.
And of course, it made me cry. Because I'm a big crying crymachine. Weepy McSobby.

Tante, I would buy a bookjacket (re-usable) with tissues (NOT re-usable! ha!) in it. But only from you. I support jatraquerian enterprise! *G*

The Shawshank Redemption

*SPOILERS* (though, if you haven't seen this movie, you need to stop reading right now, go out, get the movie and watch it

Here's where the tears start:
quote:
Red leans down and solves the mystery at last, staring at the object buried under the rock. Stunned. It's an envelope wrapped in plastic. Written on it is a single word: "Red."

Red pulls the envelope out and rises. He just stares at it for a while, almost afraid to open it. But open it he does. Inside is a smaller envelope and a letter. Red begins to read:

ANDY (V.O.)
Dear Red. If you're reading this,
you've gotten out. And if you've
come this far, maybe you're willing
to come a little further. You
remember the name of the town,
don't you? I could use a good man
to help me get my project on
wheels. I'll keep an eye out for
you and the chessboard ready.
(beat)
Remember, Red. Hope is a good
thing, maybe the best of things,
and no good thing ever dies. I will
be hoping that this letter finds
you, and finds you well. Your
friend. Andy.

...and the tears keep flowing, up until the end, which isn't very far away.

I love that movie.

I cried several times while watching Kimi Ga Nomozu Eien (The Eternity You Wish For) last weekend.

I also cried during the Six Feet Under Finale, but not as much.

Oddly I didn't cry during HP.

BtVS: "The Body" makes me cry every time when Anya does.

I sobbed during the Green Mile. I seriously couldn't take it. I also can't take sad animal movies so I cried at Where the Red Fern Grows, Bambi, Old Yeller and probably quite a few others. Armageddon also got to me once when I watched it right after I moved to college for my first year and had said goodbye to my Dad

I'm not sure if this is the last movie that made me cry or not, but it definitely had me crying at several points. The movie was "Grave of the Fireflies" and I strongly recommend it to anyone, even if you are not a fan of anime. The story transcends the medium.
 
Posted by MandyM (Member # 8375) on :
 
These elephants were not really faithful and their trainers and handlers were decidedly unfaithful. I should point that out next time I teach the book. Or better yet, just read Horton instead. It would save me a box of tissue. [Smile]

I cried at the same part of HP6 as KEGE and jexx.

I sobbed and sobbed through the last ten minutes or so of A Walk to Remember, and then couldn't stop crying for another ten minutes after it was over. (Very cathartic, actually.)

I cry at certain fanfics, particularly Ad Astra Per Aspera and several others. (I reread that one whenever I feel like a good cry.)

I cry over books all the time. One that comes to mind is The Wizard's Dilemma. I cry every time I read it.

I won't reread OSC's Lost Boys. I remember crying buckets.

But probably the induces-most-tears-per-minute award goes to the Wonderworks of Bradbury's All Summer in A Day. 30 minutes long, and it evokes 5-10 minutes of tears.

Ugh. I am such a baby. 90% of the things mentioned here I cried about. I had only read the title of the thread when I had confessed to Xavier that I simply bawled during the the Six Feet Under finale. The first time I watched it was with him and I was fighting tears so hard it became painful. I have On Demand so watched it again after he went to sleep on Monday and just couldn't hold it in. I sobbed.
 
Posted by KEGE (Member # 424) on :
 
rivka - I won't even watch A Walk to Remember because I know what happens (my daughter has it and they watch it all the time along with The Notebook which I also won't watch)!

I read OCS's Lost Boys (which we are discussing now on the other side of forum) in 1997 and not only cried buckets but went through all the stages of grief as if a family member had died. It was totally real for me and I have NEVER been able to reread it!

The first time thorugh the 'Epilogue', my vision was getting so blurry that I missed a lot of details that people had later pointed out as being significant.

I watched the epilogue again the next day to catch more detail, and it still really, really affected me. No tears this time, but that emotional swelling feeling certainly was present.

Once when they sat down to watch the events of Sept 11. I guess it hit me partially because I live in NY for so long and was personally affected by the actual events and partially because I didn't notice the date when reading the book so I was wondering what he was buying a TV for... and then got the suprise

And once when he died. I knew it was coming and didn't think it'd affect me that way but it did anyway.

I cried like a baby at the end of Dead Poets' Society. [Blushing] Ron had to hold me for a long time before I could even talk. It wasn't the death part, but the actual ending, which was sort of uplifting.

I am a sap. Beaches also got me, but I was young and had no idea it was going to be sad. Duh. Sniffled at Shawshank Redemption, too.

Books? When I got to a certain point in A Tale of Two Cities I put it down because I knew I couldn't read it where people could see me cry. Whenever I get to the end of LotR (books) I cry like a silly person because there isn't any more. I cried over Hoom in Worthing Saga, after I got over the gut-punched sickness of it all. I cried atthe end of Lost Boys, but I'm not sure if that counts because I was severely post-partum depressed at the time and cried a lot for no reason. But I'll count it. [Wink]

On the somewhat embarrassed side, I cried at the end of Latter Days, even though it was kind of cliche and not all that great... We're not just dots... *sniffle* [Blushing]

I'm a big sappy cryer... I cry with certain commercials.

I too have not been able to re-read The Lost Boys. I read it about 6 or 7 years ago and still can't pick it up and read it again. I think its the only OSC book I haven't read at least twice. My husband hasn't even read it once since it made me cry so much he is a little afraid to read it... he's a big cryer too.

I cried when Boon died in Lost, and the last half of the season finale.

ketchupqueen - yes laughing loudly while reading a book in a public place does get you lots of weird looks - probably more so than quietly crying (I imagine if you wailed and tore at your clothes and hair then that kind of crying would get the same - that was my Lost Boys crying).

This summer I was reading one of the Georgia books at the beach and laughing like a loon - I had to stop because other people were looking at me like I was one of the "elderly mad". If you female Hatracker don't know this books the first is called Angus, Thongs, and Full Frontal Snogging. They are British and vair - vair funny.

I tend to tear up a bit over fiction where characters show courage and wisdom (and esp. when that is acknowledged by others).

Parts of Pratchett's _A Hat Full of Sky_ put a lump in my throat. So have parts of A Song of Ice and Fire (Jon Snow especially seems to get to me).

Yep. Beaches. Amazing that no matter how many times I've seen that movie, I still burst into tears at the end. As a matter of fact, even hearing the song, "The Wind Beneath My Wings" chokes me up.

Speaking of songs that invoke emotion...I did a little bit of searching, then downloading after watching the last episode of Six Feet Under and that last song is called "Breathe" by Sia. Just in case some of you wanted to know.

EDIT: Correct me someone: invoke or evoke?

I cry all the time at movies - it's why I often go alone. I'm not exactly what one might call an emotional person in the light of day, so when I do let loose, it's fairly... different.

The short list of the visual media kind:

The end of The Last Samurai
Return of the King (This actually goes beyond crying; it's more like all-out bawling)
Big Fish
Amadeus
Finding Neverland
The Pianist (Also all-out bawling - when he sits down and plays in that house... [Cry] )
And secretly, so secretly, BSG. And I've been known to tear up at various Treks (of all generations)

And as far as literary fiction...

A Song of Fire and Ice. All the fracking time.
Ender's Game (It's odd, but it's always a different part)
The Green Mile (Oh, was that a bad day)
Silver on the Tree (the last in The Dark is Rising series)
And I think I remember crying at Little Women...

I have not actually seen Grave of the Fireflies. But when I was living in the dorms some friends watched it and I happened to be out in the hall when it got over. Kip's dorm room opens and out shuffle three fun-and-games college guys looking like somebody just shot their entire families. They weren't actually crying, but looked so emotionally dead and depressed. None of them would talk about it at all until the next day. That was when I decided I didn't need to see that movie.

Film: "Testament", maybe it was being a parent. Nothing else is even close.

Television: TNG "The Inner Light" it just gets to me on a species level or something.

Novel: There are lot of them that bring a tear to the eye including, the last chapters of "The Return of the King."
