And also in Extras when Andy has his breakdown on Big Brother.

Love him or hate him, Gervais knows how to hit the emotional note when he wants to.


In films, the montage that runs at the finale of Cinema Paradiso always seems to get me.

The montage gets to me too i have shivers just thinking about it

I am not a massive Goran Ivanisevic fan or anything but in 2001, when he got into Wimbledon on a 'wild card' and clawed his way to the final, just scraping wins in 5 set matches, I couldn't help but have tears in my eyes to see him yet again battle to win another 5 set match.

God yeah, that was a great match. But it was hard to watch as both he and Rafter wanted it so much. Rafter had said he was retiring that year so it was his last chance too. And if memory serves wasn't this played on a Monday due to bad weather delays the previous week? I remember trying to log on the websites at work trying desperately to figure out how the match was going. Such tense stuff.

Out Of The Night

Beslan. The coverage of Michaela Harte's death. Pheobe Prince.

skinsseries3

The end scene of Man on Fire. Watched this again last night and couldn't control myself.

D.Q

Sopranos

AJs attempted suicide. James Gandolfini is incredible when he gets him out and they are at the side of the pool.

Super acting from Smith. The power in it is shocking. Bawled.

A starving polar bear not long out of hibernation attacks some walruses out of desperation. A gamble that doesnt pay of as the polar bear's injuries are to much to carry on. Saddest part for me is the bear digging a small hole and laying down to die. It really highlights the effects of global warming on wildlife.

The Paul Greengrass dramatisation of Bloody Sunday in 2002, with James Nesbitt in the lead role, was a remarkably accurate reflection of the above footage and evoked so many of the same emotions:

The first time I watched that film I was absolutely inconsolable - the part where Ivan Cooper goes to the hospital to try to console the families and the enormity of what has taken place hits him. And his statement to the press afterwards - prophetic and sadly true.

.SONIC.

there was this show on today around 6, i think it was called 'the angelus'. basically there was this old man in his garden and he was happy and then suddenly he just stopped and froze, the poor guy couldnt move for a minute! needless to say i shed a tear!

Very harrowing!

As a relatively young person(22) I've always find this to be one of the most upsetting clips from my lifetime in Irish history. I'm welling up here watching it and i've seen it a load of times before. Its horrific to think how many people of our parents generation are living with this ****. I remember reading about all the abuses that went on in the school where all the previous generation of my family went and its hard not to imagine what your own relations have seen or even experienced.

I also feel this clip was an important moment in my losing my religion.

I will genuinely pay you 10 Euro if you watch this video and don't cry. What makes it worse for me is that fact that my dogs almost 14 now and the times gonna come soon and this video just....ah just watch it and find out..

If people are going to write something or upload something, can you be considerate enough use the spoiler tag on certain things? i.e tv shows endings and youtube clips that have no description?:)

It saves people from screaming blue murder when they read or see a character who dies in a show, or some other significant event, they are following or beginning to watch. :cool:

Oh and that Bradford football ground fire was devastating:(

Nan dying in the Royle Family

This one had me in floods of tears because it reminded me so much of my mam.

She had been ill for a long time,and even though I was living at home,all the family helped take care of her.

I'd been out having a few drinks after work one Friday,and when I got in mam called me.

We were talking,and she said how sorry she was for being a burden,and how she never wanted to end up like this,thanks for looking after me.
I told her she was never a burden,and anything I was doing for,well,she'd do it for me.
She said she was tired and was going to sleep,she looked up and said,"you know I love you son",I said of course I knew,and I loved her.

They were the last words I spoke to her,she died the next morning,so watching Barbara with her mam knocked me sideways.I've seen it god knows how many times now,and everytime it gets me.


A wonderful,if truly heartbreaking piece of tv.

I hate this thread, didn't cry for years, but caught up very quickly. Plaudits op, thread of the year definitely.

To add my own, the fabrice muamba incident on paddies day. As a spurs fan I was flicking between this and the rugby match. When I flicked back van Der vaart was there with his head in his hands looking like he missed a sitter.

Initially I was disappointed with the lack of atmosphere at the game until I copped that the commentators were silent. What unfolded stirred every emotion I had. It really brought everyone down to earth with the trivial importance and bitterness in the sport. It just is a game and the universal support the player got helped clean all of the nastiness in the game if just for a week or so.

Another one I just thought of:

I can't believe Sopranos hasn't been mentioned yet. Loads to choose from, Pussy being shot, Sil being shot, Bobby being shot (there's a running theme there). Also Tony's dream sequence when he's just a business man in a hotel and Moby - When It's Cold I'd Like to Die is playing at the end.

But I picked this one, the last scene with Tony and Junior where Junior doesn't have a clue who he is.

In the Bridges Of Madison County when she is sitting in the truck with her husband and Robert Kincade is in the truck in front and she has her hand on the door ready to run to him but she decides to stay with her husband and Kincade puts the chain she gave him on the mirror and she sees it and breaks down crying but doesnt get out of the car .Kincade then drives away out of her life forever . I get a tug in my heart from crying at that scene.

Late Late:I remember on Late Late show only a few years ago where they brought on two kids from Limerick who were burnt by some scumbag threw a petrol bomb into their car while their mother went into the shop. A boy and a girl both under 6, all dressed but clearly covered in bandages underneath yet so chirpy and delighted especially when Tubs handed them some Toys.
Lost: Desmond phone call to Penny in the Constant, so well edited and written, the previous scene he tell her he wont call for like 8 years and the conversation is so short but enought to save him. Plus Sayid is seperated from his love and looks on knowing how Desmond feels.

The end of "The Road" and also if anyone has you have seen War Horse, it has plenty of tear jerk moments.

I'm pretty sure he is referring to the text in the post, and not the video, which does give away a lot of spoilers!

Sorry bud, once I saw firestarter's post I tried to edit my post but can't.

Good few spoilers all right but I kinda thought anyone who'd like Sopranos would have it seen it by now! It's been over 5 years and was huge at the time.

I only finished watching it recently (boxsets) after starting to watch it when it started on Sky Atlantic a year or so ago. Best TV ever, so I would say there is a lot of people following it for the first time on Sky Atlantic, where it is in the middle of season 5, I think.

I just couldn't wait a week between episodes. :pac:

Good call. I thought David Tennent was superb in that.

Speaking of Dr Who as I was, the scene where he says goodbye to Rose. (With added Billie Piper).
