Another hands down is whenever I hear Dr.Martin Luther King Jr. give his "I Have A Dream" speech. Beautiful. There's nothing like it. As powerful as it was on the day Dr.King gave it, it's even MORE powerful today.

A movie scene that makes me cry is the first "My Girl" movie, when the little boy dies after being stung by a bee. It's the morning of his funeral, and his little friend (a female) can't bear to go, because she's just so upset over him passing away. As the ceremony is being held, she is sitting on the steps listening, and is in tears. Eventually, she comes into the room where the ceremony is held, walks up to the little boy's casket. She notices that the little boy does not have his glasses on, and says, "Where are his glasses? He can't see without his glasses!" That scene makes me tear up every time I see it, it's just so, so sad! My sister-in-law and I were talking about this movie once, and she said the same thing, that it made her cry too. I've watched the first "My Girl" movie several times, and this scene always makes me cry without fail.

Selena is almost painful for me to watch, because i'm always guaranteed a cry, right as the rose drops....

damn, and here i was thinking i was the only one that's done that before...

i had a week straight where i would just ride the bus, i didn't care where it took me, and i just listened to radiohead and cried to myself...

it's an epidemic! i don't know what it is about that combination that's so potent, but it gets me every time.

Maybe I'm a bit self-indulgent,but I often contemplate who I am. Not in a narcissistic way. But in more of a respectably mundane and earnest fashion. What's my role in this society? What's my limit? How thick/thin is my skin? Where can I go in life? Often, I get a little carried away. I worry a lot, which is why I have developed a little grey hair growth in the oddest of places. I worry about the right words to use when I'm amid the trajectory of discourse. It sort of grates my mind to shriveled up scraps. What is my personal outlook on this thing called life? It's somewhat depressing. But yeah.....

ok, here it goes:


- i haven't watched the Lion King in a few years (i got the special edition DVD for a birthday years ago, still in the shrinkwrap) because i can't handle the scene where Mufasa is murdered and Simba tries to 'wake him up' ..
*i have a fear of abandonment* and that scene chokes me up every time, to the point of embarrassment...



- this play:

Da Kink in My Hair had me sobbing... i can't even describe the scene, it's canadian, and i'm not sure but they may be trying to travel with it - if you get a chance, see it.




- 'sometimes it snows in april' is another song that i can't listen to anymore... i've banned it from my playlists... i almost did that to 'condition of the heart' but i find it therapeutic to cry to that song..



- i don't like country or whatever, but my niece got a teddy bear that sings this song, and she loved it so much that she learned the words... and when she sing it i break down... i'm tearing now just thinking of it... it just gets me everytime... just knowing her relationship with her mother and vice versa and it's just so innocent and sincere...




there's so much more... but i'm stopping there.

Another piece of music from a film that brings tears to my eyes is the (Love Theme of Romeo and Juliet) from 1968. The music was composed by Nino Rota. I also have this soundtrack. At the end of the film when Laurence Olivier does the voice over speech and he says
"For never was a story of more woe than this of Juliet and her Romeo"...man, the tears are flowing. The music is beautiful.

My tearjerkers:

Music:
Love Tried To Welcome Me-Madonna. i don't know about the rest of you guys,but i can't play that song.shit, i'm tearing up just thinking about it. the lyrics,melody and the way she sung it was ACE.if i was a actress and i had to get in a sad mode for a scene, i would play this one.

Movies:
Chicken Little.There's scene in which he's sitting on the roof of his house and he was thinking of a way to gain his father's acceptance and the song "I Love You And It's all I Know" was playing when he looked to the stars in the sky and said "Please...All i need is a chance." : a really cool movie overall.

oh and..DUH how could i forget Finding Neverland?
the scene where sylvia was coming down with tuberculosis and she couldn't make it to the theater to see james' play so he brought the play to her(albeit amended)
[Edited 8/11/08 18:10pm]

a friend of mine and i sat in the theatre and cried our eyes out at this specific part.




seeing that little boy before, and then after in his coffin breaks my heart in pieces.. i can barely handle it.

For me, it's the episode where Angel becomes human for a day. The first time Buffy sees him walk out into the sun Then when they have a minute or so of time left before she forgets and the day restarts and she's saying "I'LL NEVER FORGET!"

purplesweat said:

And then she forgets. That episode was very sad indeed.

sextonseven said:

And because Angel doesn't have it hard enough, he gets to REMEMBER the day!

Damn you Joss Whedon.

sextonseven said:

I remember that. It was saddening. Buffy The Vampire was a great series.

purplesweat said:

Joss is mean. If I was by myself when I saw the Serenity movie for the first time, I would have burst into tears, I know it.

Steadwood said:

I am so very sorry, Eddie

3 songs that were played at my uncle's funeral...
Movies
PS I love you
The Notebook

stepmom 4 me

Songs that bring tears to my eyes
"Standing At The Crossroads" by my dad Eddie Campbell of Eddie and Ernie
"Rainy Night In Georgia" by Brook Benton
"Harry Hippy" by Bobby Womack

The movie Ghost with Woopi Goldberg and Patrick Swayze.

This movie does it for me everytime. There are like 5 scenes that make me lose it everytime.

Also, SCHINDLER'S LIST had me bawling uncontrolably.

Steadwood said:

Songs, yes. Some Utada Hikaru tracks, and some from Seal's second to last album. That's because their music lifted me when I really needed. I loved the positivity and I'm always reminded of that time when I listen. A few Stevie tracks (Heaven Is 10 Zillion Light Years Away, Another Star) and I'm sure a few other songs I can't think of right now.

Movies? Forrest Gump.

Sweeny79 said:

Omg, any show like that or something with adoptees looking for their natural parents.

Wild Horses - Natasha Beddingfield because of something i was told when Val and i started seeing each other

When you are gone -AVril Levigne because i used to listen to that song non stop when i left Val to come home.

During the last months it was these 3 songs:
A Fine Frenzy: Almost Lover
Macy Gray: I try
Paolo Nutini: Last Request

I cry at nearly everything there is no point trying to think of them all

I know there are some movies I will never put myself through again:
Engelschen (sp)
El Orfanato

way too upsetting for me
