Why With All The Crying?

[Gunner 51]

I once cried with happiness with Helga Pataki finally coming clean and admitting how she really loved the titular Arnold in Hey Arnold many moons ago. (Albeit to a psychiatrist.)

Watching her family continuously neglect her, being laughed at and belittled by her peers for showing a soft side sure made you feel for her.

What gets to me is the end of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time when Link leaves Zelda to go back to his own time. Not because the ending itself is that sad, but it's the ending to my favorite childhood game and the greatest game of all time as far as I'm concerned. It makes me think of all kinds of good times gone by and of the fleeting nature of life. Right now I'm sitting here thinking "wow, in the blink of an eye I went from a nine year old making memories, to a 23 year old grad student with actual adult problems," and it's all triggered thinking about that beautiful, wistful moment.

Honorable mentions also go to Lelouch's speech about happiness from Code Geass, as well as the last episode of The Walking Dead game.

This is not for "no reason" but any dog related things makes me cry.
This is why I am afraid to go watch Frankenweenie

Also Korean movies. Korean movies are so good with violence and tearjerker stories.

Spoiler: It is dark and lonely. We'll light your way.

You think it'll be okay. Yeah it's kinda sad but you can take it.

Then BAM! The last two minutes.

WEll, most recently, Pat, by Built To Spill...


it might be my own penchant for suicidal tendancies, or my own linking of the relatable sentiment, or my own weakness for the idea of friendship, seeing as how it's something I've experienced in small quantities, but it's the first time I've had a good cry in a while...<.<

You didn't call this film by it's full name? "Harvey Keitel's Enormous Penis and The Piano".

I was referring to The Pianist (2002 Roman Polanski film), not The Piano.

Lol sorry, was just skimming the replies, and misread your post lol

For me it's towards the end of Battlestar Galactica when...

Spoiler

Galactica makes her last jump. Every time Colonel Tigh says she's broken her back I tear up a little.

Here's the clip:

End of Guild Wars 2 when this song plays... Jeremy Soule you've done it again. Its just the piano and the melody... the version with the lyrics and the instrumental always seem to get me.

They lyrics are powerful too. Dark and Light, I know its cliche but damn its still cool.

The opening of The Hobbit, when Bilbo tells Frodo the story, and it's the exact same opening words as the book. I read that book when I was very little, and I've loved it ever since. And then those words, and the shire theme playing in the background, felt so much like coming home. It's like meeting an old friend again after years apart, and realising in the moment you see them just how much you love them.
In the movie, it's not sad, it's just the beginning of the story, but I was still glad that cinemas are dark, because I was grinning like a maniac with tears in my eyes.

The ending to Super Paper Mario got me good. I guess it was more of a so-happy-it's-sad kind of crying, though.

Seeing someone cry while eating. Like Chihiro in Spirited Away, when she sneaks off with Haku and he gives the hungry girl some rice balls to eat. She munches them down with tears the size of tennis balls running down her face, and when she starts to wail I get this big pit in my throat and I bawl too.
Actually, I get teary whenever anyone in a movie cries, ever, but for some reason it's much much worse if they're stuffing their mouths with food at the same time. Sometimes it's even enough for me to see someone eat whilst looking gloomy.
