The part in the film Titanic where the ship is going down and the Mammys reading the kids the story and the old couple snuggle up in bed for the last time


Gets me every time

I could never take that part seriously because the actress is Vasquez from Aliens :pac:

I remember it well and we ARE NOT VERY LUCKY someone wasn't killed that night, (security at end of vid). Someone did die, an Irishman and I still remember it being reported as a heart attack on the radio the next morning.

One which really sticks out in my mind however is this - David Cameron's apology for "Bloody Sunday"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3oQcH3FYR-o&feature=related
and then this Mark Durkin's response in the British Parliament.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MKVGO2eZKvE&feature=related

Still brings a lump to the throat now.

I was at the guildhall that day, there were old people around me in floods of tears. I got separated from my friends so was standing on my own, when the apology speech was made an old man who I didn't know from Adam grabbed me and hugged me sobbing and I will never forget his words "Jesus son, I never thought I would see the day"

Huge lump in my throat even now when I think of it.

Conchir

Watching footage of the Japanese tsunami last year on Sky News. One piece of video came on, taken from a helicopter. It was of one, lone man running through a field, the wave couldn't have been more than a few metres behind him, and gaining. It cut with him still running, left an impression on me. It certainly brought a lump to my throat anyway.

Hazys

I highly recommend people watch the 30 for 30 documentary "Once Brothers" about the 2 Yugoslavian basketball palyers Vlade Divac and Drazen Petrovic, how they were best friends before the war and enemies after...its pretty amazing.

The final scene of 6 feet under. The series went for 5 years and i watched them all. So I got to know all the characters. In this scene Claire the baby of the family is moving to New York from California by car. But along the drive as she is playing "Breathe me" by Sia, the scenes keep getting projected into the future and you watch each of the characters die, till this young girls death at the end as an old woman.

All of a sudden I projected that scene on to my life as I imagined all my family and friends dying in the future and that upset me greatly and for days. I can't even watch it now.

It really put life in perspective. One of the great television series.

When they cancelled Enterprise and Caprica bastards they didn't even supply a help line for all us upset scifi fans.

For sure, it is well worth watching all the episodes just so you fully grasp the finale at the end. Best end of show ever. Got me a little emmotional too, but in a manly way

Ohh Yeah **cough cough** off course, it was the damn hayfever making my eyes water, but I could see how it would make the girls cry.

A true classic and who would believe a show about undertakers would be so compelling, who would even commission it, HBO is the answer.

NIMAN

A TV show recently that was very emotional, and which I'm sure many will not have seen, was one about 5yrs ago on RTE.

Can' remember the name of the series, but the show in question was about 2 elderly brothers. Farmers. Lived on the farm themselves.

One ended up dying, and then some girl arrived and was the daughter of the deceased, and she was claiming her share of the farm, which of course was really hard on the remaining brother, as no-one knew this girl existed.

It was an emotional ending watching an old man lose his farm, and we know how people are attached to them in this country.

Anyone else see it?

Two films come to mind:

1. The last half an hour of Lord of the Rings The Return of the King. I was terribly upset it was over.
2. The last fight in Warrior.

You obviously don't understand the magnitude of what happened that day if you don't find that video any way emotional for you.

I was 13 years old at the time and I had tears in my eyes.

My moments were,

1. 911 terrorist attacks and seeing it live at the time.

2. The falling of the Berlin wall and people from the east and west reuniting in Germany again.

3. The shelling of the Mostar bridge in October 1993 during the war in Yugoslavia. Glad to see that this bridge was built again.

4. Aryton Senna fatal crash during the F1 race at Imola 1994 and the two minutes where he sat still before the ambulances and medical teams got to him. Brought tears to my eyes.

5. The Kursk submarine trapped at the bottom of the ocean in 2000 and no one could rescue the people onboard.

For the reason a lot of blokes want to become footballers, go to 3:30.

I still find it hard to fathom that some people weren't born yet, at that time. I think I feel bad that they missed it!

I may get slated for this, but it had me in tears when I first saw it on the news, and still makes me well up a little now. The nerves in her voice as she says "agus a chairde" especially when contrasted with her confident speech after that....just gets me everytime.

Aside from that, +1million to whoever it was that posted the Six Feet Under finale. Such an amazingly beautiful & bleakly funny series, brought to such a beautiful end....

And thanks to The_B_Man for posting something that's made me smile through the tears after watching some of the clips on this thread....g'wan the boys in Green!

The film 'In The Name of The Father' when the father dies in prison, and the prisoners light tissues and throw them out the window while Sinead O'Connor is singing!

And at the end in the courtroom, when they are told they will be freed and Gerry Conlon punches the air.

I worked in the cinema in Waterford when this came out, I watched it maybe 20 times and it got me each time!
