Most tear jerking moment

[Jonluw]

Clannad afterstory.
I don't care how much of a man you are, that stuff hurts.
Made me shed one single tear.

Spoiler: If you have seen Clannad, watch this:

This is from a man who was not bothered by Toy story 3.
And I honestly can't see the "Fry's dog" moment moving me either.

If you have never played homeworld stay away!!

<a href=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CXNQNeLDg5s>Homeworld mission 3

Never saw this one coming. You were expecting to take a group of colonists to your fabled homeworld aboard a ship that took 60 years and large percentage of your planets natural resources to build. Instead after returning from a mostly successful test of your hyperspace core, you find that everything you left behind was destroyed and the only survivors are the colonists still frozen in cryogenic suspension. Oh and pretty much half of the galaxy wants to destroy you.

Mix the SUPERB soundtrack with the awesome voice acting, and it becomes hard not to start to tear up a bit.

That moment changed the ENTIRE direction of the game, but made you want to finish the game even more.

OT: I've said it before, and I'll say it again: Amsterdam.

Most tearjerking moment in any media, for me. Usually, when talking about "tearjerking" moments, I don't actually cry - but this brings me closest.

 

[Adamc-mh]

Robin's Back story in One Piece
Ending to Toy Story 3
A few parts from the Metal Gear Solid Games-Mainly One and Four

That's the few that I can remember off the top of my head.

 

[Lev The Red]

the closest i've ever come was Jurassic Bark, where you find out what happened to Fry's dog and the episode of pokemon where Ash makes pikachu run away (i don't remember why, exactly).

however, and i may have said this before on a similar forum, my grandfather (a russian) cried when he saw the ending to World at War.

Spoiler: Oni srazhalis za Rodinu.

The ending of Dexter season 4. That's all I'm saying.

although i didn't want it to happen, i was disappointed by dexter's reaction. i thought the end of season 5 was much more saddening, he felt like he had genuinely lost someone

 

[Connor Lonske]

The third act of UP(the Pixar film). A lot of people say the opening sequence was better, but me being a cynical person, I said the situation of the third act would never happen in reality, or to any large amount of people. I had no empathy and only a little pity when Carl was left with no family left after it ended.

Spoiler: Put in this box thingie for mild spoilers

It wasn't until the end for me to find it a believable story. I can't relate to a life filled with a perfect romance, but a man who can move on from that romance and still has a last adventure and a happy, new life after the change is something I can both wish to happen to me and empathize with.

Also, all of the movies soundtrack. God damn it was awesome, and tear jerking on it's own, even.

 

[FreebirdLegend]

Mine would have to be the ending to Claymore (anime) and I guess the ending to Snake eater. OH and I think the ending to Saving private Ryan made me tear as well as Seymour waiting forever. I have been shedding some manly tears recently(not within weeks or months time) for Games and movies. Maybe I am getting a better sense of things.

 

[redisforever]

Many manly tears were shed at the death of the 10th Doctor.


I didn't want you to go either David ;(

I agree, despite not really liking the episode. I do think that Eccleston had a much more subtle and sad regeneration, with him smiling sadly at Rose, just before he regenerated. I do wonder what would have happened if the 9th Doctor's series had a bigger budget, and, to be honest, I think the (relatively) low budget made it more personal, more human, relying more on the actors and script than the later RTD series. Just me though.


OT: Futurama dog, as usual, Torchwood Out of Time, The Illusionist (French animated film), and Red Dead Redemption, because really, who didn't cry manly tears at the end?

 

[BiscuitTrouser]

What some people overlook: Fry's nephew. (Luck of the fryish)

I just watched that episode. I did almost cry at that one.

I almost cried like 4 times during Serenity.

Spoiler

When Book and Wash died I almost lost it. Especially Wash.

Youre a horrible horrible person for reminding me of that. It didnt happen dammit! Its so horribly final because i know we can never have the same old series back no matter what. Hes gone now. They both are.

That Fellowship Of The Ring ending..

Spoiler

Boromir's death... Oh god why. He was one of the few who I could sort of sympathize with because he wasn't some sort of superhuman perfect warrior that's always right about everything.

This too is so true. So so true. Its easy to relate to the characters who are so good but so flawed. So perfectly human.

 

[GLo Jones]

Katawa Shoujo represent! Pretty much the whole thing was emotional for me. I cried several times.

Lilly and Rin's good endings man.

So many tears of joy.

I only really cried at Rin's neutral ending. Something about that girl man...

Spoiler: She was so frustrating, but I really cared about her, and then...

Spoiler: Forget about me, I'll forget about you.

Spoiler: Its okay... I'm good at forgetting things.

;_;

 

[Foxpack1]

The end of Assassins Creed Embers. Anyone who watched it, especially right after Revelations knows what I mean.

 

[CrazyGirl17]

The ending of "Marley and Me", especially if you have or have had a dog, also the ending to "The Iron Giant", and the end of "Doctor Horrible's Sing-Along Blog".

Torchwood's "Out Of Time" was sad, but it is no way a bigger tear jerker than Ianto Jones dying in Jack's arms.

 

[Jedamethis]

Nothing. Never had a moment like that. :/
I find that rage, anger, and terror affect me more than sadness and despair. Haven't found anything that's a good combo. A good anguished "NOOO!" perhaps.

 

[Swyftstar]

Two movies have made me cry.
I cried a little at the Color Purple. I am not even sure why exactly.
I started bawling towards the end of Glory. I don't think I've ever cried like that since I was a kid and haven't really since.

 

[AM City Watch]

I can't find a video of the relevant moment, but:

Spoiler

"Captain Hammer will save us."

Also, this:

Spoiler

The fact that it was the end of a comedy series just salts the wound.

 

[omglazorspewpew]

I too now get choked up whenever I hear "Walking On Sunshine" because of Jurassic Bark(Fry's Dog).

Also I am pretty sure if you didn't tear up the first time you saw Simba's reaction to his fathers death in the Lion King then you have no soul

Well, now that was an interesting case. I saw Children of Earth twice. First time was at a friend's house, and I hadn't watched any Torchwood earlier. I later borrowed the season, but I really only had time to watch it when I pulled a muscle in my neck and had to stay home, but watching TV while in pain is not a great way to be emotionally involved, really. I think at some point, maybe next month, I'll sit down, and watch all of Torchwood, from Series 1 to 4, and probably then I'll have an actual reaction to his death. So, I'm sure it's very sad, but I was just distracted when watching it, both times.

Damn... I was going to say the same thing.

 

[Secret world leader (shhh)]

(the usual suspects in this thread go here)
Old yeller
The ending of the first episode of the new series of being human, a single manly tear was shed.
I've never cried at a book before
Bioshock good ending, red dead redemption ending
I've only been able to listen to part of the song "tears in heaven" once because it made me cry so much.
