Okay, ganked this meme idea from ms_scarletibis 

The idea is to list the tv/movie moments that have made you cry. Now, since if we're talking a few tears, it might be easier to list the ones that *haven't* made me cry, i'll limit myself to the gut-wrenching, shoulders shaking, quietly sobbing so my family doesn't think i'm *too* emotionally unstable moments :P hehe

In no particular order :P :

1. The Passion of the Christ -- There are no words. I was in tears almost the whole way through, sobbing my eyes out.
2. Buffy episode "The Body". The whole thing. Heart-wrenching, beautiful work on all counts.
3. "The Notebook". Oh. My. God. When I realized what was going on, toward the end, gaaaaaaah, just overwhelming, sobbing tears that broke me. :P
4. Schindler's List -- the kind of emotional agony where you have to stop the tape for a little while because it's just so overwhelmingly emotional, and you just *can't* take any more right then.
5. House, episode "Wilson's Heart" -- OMG, from the moment House agreed to risk his life for Amber, until the end of the episode, I was a wreck. Sobs, tears, snot, the whole messy shebang. :P
6. Dakota Fanning's amazing performance in "I Am Sam" -- gaaaaah, I bawled my eyes out... a heartbreaking movie
7. The Other Sister -- when she gives the speech at the end to her mom, about accepting her and letting her be happy as she is, because she knows she'll never be any more... so amazingly profound and beautiful and tragic all at the same time :)
8. The Green Mile -- execution scene at the end... I cried and cried, it was so unfair that he had to die...
9. Forrest Gump -- I cried for Jenny, so many times throughout that movie, from the time she hid in the cornfield from her daddy, to when she threw the rocks at her house because of what happened there, and then when she finally let Forrest love her and died with him by her side.
10. Fred's death in Wesley's arms, and the entire afternoon that led up to it, in Angel, episode "A Hole in the World"
Okay, I'm sure there are others, but these are the top ten I could think of. Feel free to comment if you share any of these tear-worthy moments, or with some of your own :P Please keep the game going and feel free to repost this meme with your own choices on your journals :P

Oh you know what part of Dumbo that gets me is when Timothy takes him to see his mama while she's locked up. Between the music and just how sad it is to see him having to settle for his mama's trunk for short lived comfort I bawl every time I watch that part.

I thought so as that part is so heartbreaking. Shoot I got teary just writing those couple sentences about it.

LOL, I think I know why you've changed your default icon to that one. I imagine it has something to do with our conversation last night lol.

hehe... yeah, i was getting tired of looking at the one i've had up there for so long... it's beautiful, and i love it, but it's quite solemn looking, and i wanted something a bit more fun, so this one works well :) hehehe
