Scenes that almost make a grown man cry

[bicycleheader]

I cry at the end of The Apartment when Shirley runs away from the bad guy to find Mr Baxter played by Jack Lemmon. The music is very affecting.

Other than that I'm hard. You have to be in Leith. Or risk a thrashing.

A lot of my favourites being mentioned in this thread. Love The Apartment. My favourite Wilder movie.

Mads Mikkelsen in The Hunt made me sad, about a kindergarten worker wrongly accused of child abuse.

Yeah, the bit in the supermarket was sad.

Side note: how amazing was that hunting lodge they stay at?!

Many that have been mentioned, but the one that truly gets me blubbing is the scene in the Shane Meadows film - Dead Mens Shoes, when the lad with learning difficulties hangs himself due being bullied so relentlessly by the local thugs.

It stays with me for days afterwards.

Kes is another one too.

Brings a whole new meaning to "get in the bin"

Book - The Road

 

[Huyton Layne]

Was gonna say the episode of Futurama where Fry's dog waits outside the pizza place for him.

Think your film might've ripped it off.

That and The Luck of the Fryish, where he spends the whole episode hating his brother to find his nephew was named after him and became the first man on mars due to his influence then "Don't you forget about me kicks in"

Oh man right in the feels

Watership Down
ET
Ghosts
Remember me ma and grandma used to weep uncontrollably at some film about queen victoria

The author of watership down died recently.
He used to tell his kids stories about rabbits as he drove them to school and they encouraged him to write a book.
13 publishers turned him down and he almost gave up trying to get it published. The rest is history.

Used to watch Barney with my daughter on my knee when she was little.
The song used to make me choke.

Beauty and the beast, I'm a romantic old soul:/
The beach scene in Saving private Ryan.

There is one episode of Only Fools and Horses that never fail to bring a tear to my eye: The one where Del Boy's baby is born and he holds him for the first time. He talks to his dead Mum and then tells the baby how great his life is going to be. Fabulous writing- to be so funny one minute and so poignant the next.

The Kestrel being killed was sad in Kes but Brian Glover as the PE teacher telling everyone he was Bobby Charlton was hilariously memorable.
