Sad but good

[(Anonymous)]

Yesterday, I decided to watch A Movie that was a 2001 remake of a 70s movie that I'd heard of but never seen and didn't really know how it ended. It ended and was great, but I was a bawling mess. But I didn't realize just how much I needed a good cry until after that.

So what are some movies or TV shows/moments that always strike you for their ability to produce a good cry. I'll put mine in the reply to avoid spoilers.

Spoilers for Grey's Anatomy

Grey's Anatomy. Denny's death. The shooting episode.

The Movie

[(Anonymous)]

The movie above was Brian's Song with Sean Maher and Mekhi Phifer as football players for the Chicago Bears. Phifer plays Gale Sayers, dealing with being a black man on the team and forges an unlikely friendship that turns to brotherhood with Maher's Brian Piccolo, who gets cancer that just keeps coming back after initial surgery, a mastectomy and a lung removal.

The part that really got me the most was when -- after a lifetime of answering his wife's "I love you"s with "Me, too" -- he's lying in his hospital bed, one-lunged and barely able to whisper, but he just keeps repeating "I love you" because he knows his time to say it is running out.

I've never seen the 70s version starring Billy Dee Williams and James Caan. I've heard that unless it's what you grew up with, it's not as good. Can anyone verify?

Two episodes in Scrubs. The one where Jordan's brother dies gets me pretty hard. And then the episode where the patient gets infected by the doctor who quits just before he leaves.

Well I cry at everything so we could be here all day, but lots of moments that make me cry aren't even necessarily that sad, just...emotional. Sweet, or heartwarming.

As for actual sadness, The World's End made me bawl, and not in a pleasant way. In a "This shit is too real, this is genuinely difficult to watch" way. Yesterday I watched A Single Man and that was pretty depressing too... I mean, I knew it was going to be, but it was still a very stark exploration of depression and loss and I doubt I'll ever watch it again no matter how hot Colin Firth looks in it.

Plus, In the Flesh. Just, as a whole. Everything about it is just tears. That scene at the end of the first season...I spent a long time crying after that. Weird how my other two examples are things I go, "Lol, don't think I'll do that again", but In the Flesh made me cry harder than both and I've rewatched it several times. Something about it is cathartic.

The Body. Hands down. Especially Anya's speech. Every single time.

Doctor Who: Journey's End made me cry tears of rage.

Anya's speech. That terribly plaintive "And no one will tell me 'why'!"... dear God, the grief lays me low.

Re: Buffy

[(Anonymous)]

Pretty much. That speech just guts me everytime.
