Persona 3 and 4
And lastly Clannad: After Story. (which I have been ninja'd with a couple of times)
Isara and Selvaria's deaths <youtube=WzancAU4cRQ> <youtube=VZ_Fr2m7HGc>
The way Chopper died because he didn't want to risk civilian lives
PJ's death, and the way he accidentally saves you by taking the laser beam Pixy fires at you
Lugo, and the way he got hanged by the "civilians"... I luckily had an M249 SAW to make sure they all paid the price. Bastards.
Persona 3 had Chidori, Shinjiro and the Main Character. Persona 4 had Nanako
Oh god where to begin (I'm terrible with sad moments in games/films and tv). Basically in every one of these, I cried or was brought close to tears.
Joker's death. I love Mark Hamill's Joker to pieces and I will happily argue my case for him being the best representation of the Joker ever (srsly, I swear Heath Ledger is only popular because he died) Honestly, I thought he was faking right until the credits were done and I was booted back to the main menu. Then I just sat there and had a little cry. It was such a hugely emotional moment, and playing through the DLC just brings it home even more because Batman is still obviously deeply effected by it.
He gets his own little section, obviously. Ned Stark got the most unjust and undeserved of deaths, and I for one will throw a little party when Joffrey gets the horrific death he has long deserved. Boromir's death in LOTR also gets me, because even though he was tempted by the ring, he still gave his all to save Merry and Pippin. It also makes it worse when you've read the books, and you know that he's only there because Denethor didn't want Faramir being in the Fellowship.
Mordin gets the obvious mention, but also Tali. I chose to save the Geth over the Quarians, and I honestly felt like the most horrible person alive.
Oh god this film... when the Cajun man dies is just all kinds of tragic, but when John Coffey dies right at the end, and he tells the prison guards not to put the black hood over his head "because he's scared of the dark"... I was just a blubbering mess for the rest of the film. Goddamn you Stephen King.
RIP James T Kirk, you died in the most unfitting way possible.
Let's just say I can't listen to Bob Marley without thinking about the dog...
When Fred, Lupin and Tonks die. I don't think they made nearly enough of a big deal about this in the film as Rowling did in the book.
That. I am sad for every ingame animal friend that dies. I even tried to save all my ant lions in HL². Frankly didn't work, but. They were so cute.Deathmageddon said:
Oh, one I just remembered:
When Sherlock "dies". My and my friends affectionately call this the "feel ALL the feelings" episode, because you simultaneously feel anger, sadness, confusion and doubt. I think it's more Watson's reaction that makes me blub, though. "Please don't be dead.." 
That was gonna be one of mine. SoIaF has more than a few of those moments. I'm gonna put upToaster Hunter said:
Ygritte. From the moment they scaled the Wall it was only going to end that way, but it was written in such a way that brought a lump to my throat.
Jon after he was betrayed by the Night's Watch
Moving away from SoIaF and into The Dark Tower for a moment, I was strangely touched by
Oy's death. Roland's treatment of him beforehand, Oy's foreknowledge of what is to come, Roland's realization of same - it's just got me. What's more, it got me as I was sat at my desk in a busy office at lunchtime. Not a good look.
The 80's animated movie pretty much killed off my entire toy collection, but seeing how no-one ever died in the tv show it was a huge shock when Prime died
Spock's death in this one. Hugely emotional death scene that even Shatner was able to act in
Wash's death. I think it's because you don't even have time to acknowledge that it's happened. There's the shock and then they have to leave other they'll all be killed
1) Code Geass - Shirley's death, and also Euphemia's death. Both felt unnecessary and left with me a with a horrible sinking feeling of "oh god no...but why? WHY??". The sadness of it all was overwhelming and left me trembling in my chair
2) Harry Potter and the Order Of The Phoenix (The book obviously, the movies can go screw themselves) - Sirius Black's death. Also Dumbledore's death while we're at it.
3) Naruto - Jiraiya's death. I shouldn't even need to explain this one. He was one of those badass loveable characters and I honestly didn't see his death coming, really hit me hard. And I was reading the manga FYI.
4) The Iron Giant (1999) - when the Iron Giant had assumed Hogarth was dead (he wasn't, but the giant's reaction still brought me to tears). Also when the giant sacrified himself and flew into the nuke.

T_T i picked a random spoiler on the 1st page...rob_simple said:
and i just spoiled it for myself XDOT:
Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann, especially when Kittan, Kamina, and Nia died. Kittan and Kamina were awesome, and I had thought that Nia and Simon would live happily ever after and then Nia faded away leaving Simon on his lonesome forever... i found it really sad
This will be the strangest but... South Park.
When Kenny dies in the Kenny Dies episode. Sure he has died in every single episode except the Xmas special up till then, but in this one people saw it coming for once. His friends being sad, all that raw emotion, gets me every time.
And Futurama, technically.
When Seymour is sitting outside the pizza parlour waiting for Fry to come home.

In Bruges
Also, I was watching The Last King of Scotland with a friend and that movie got to her to the point where she had to go and throw up.

Nox, my avatar. He gets seduced by the eliacube, goes mad, forgets his family, let's them die, then spends the next 200 years researching and finding everything he can out about wakfu, as well as absorbing as much as he can. All the while he kills whoever he needs to and does horrible things because he thinks that in the end he will be able to go back and it won't matter.
Then, after all that work, all the bad things he has done, all the wakfu gathered, he gets a 20 minute jump in time that achieves shit-all. He has about a minute to begin comprehending what he has done before he is set upon and, broken and weeping, escapes. He is found as a pile of dust near his families gravestone.

Captain America... No, not really... that was just a piss take... it would be more shocking if he lived considering the title!
Lenny... I actually cried when I read this the first time, and subsequently cried when I saw the film the first time... Seriously upsetting stuff!
Haha! Bet you all had forgotten that! I once went out with a girl who's mum hadn't ever let her see Bambi because of the mum-death scene! When I made her watch it she cried... Was a bit pathetic to be honest...Who didn't feel sad when Ellie dies after the montage?
Thought of a couple more:
Godamn I had another one but now it's slipped my mind...
Great book, bad film. Emma's death. It is so unexpected, and happens so quickly, and it doesn't explicitly say "she died". I had to read the page about three times to grasp it.

Firestorms girlfriend in blackest knight.
I don't even remember her name and I've never even read a firestorm comic, but damn, that made me have a kinda "Nooooo!" moment.
Having your heart ripped out then Turned into a pile of salt...Eeee.
Also, Ultimate spiderman's Gwen Stacy death, and also The death of spiderman welled me up a bit.

Grovy.
Seriously though. After all the trouble he went to, finally figuring out his life and being less of a fuck up, self confidence, self respect, even 'gettin' the girl', then... He was just finally starting to get things together man. Now that was sad.
But don't worry Escapists he didn't die, he entered the Legend
Then that massive ***** move when they go back in time just to watch it happen again.

And here was me thinking I'd be the only one mentioning Wakfu
