One that had me in tears on ER, aside from Dr. Green (may we never speak of THAT sobfest again!), was when Dr. Anspaugh's son got cancer the second time. Cried all through his funeral, especially when Jeannie sang Good Riddance (Time of your life) by Green Day. I so loved that show.
The hardest I have ever cried wasn't a movie, but a show. Six Feet Under, the last 10 minutes of the final episode, I was like a friggin' howler monkey sobbing.
My kids were watching me and a little freaked out and amused too. Not at my obvious pain, but I think it was an uncomfortable laugh, a gallows humor. They had never seen me cry so hard since my mom died.
Oh, Flake and I were watching a eagle nest one year. For some reason, the eggs just didn't hatch. The parents worked so hard for this nest. It was heartbreaking.
Then, we found another nest to watch. And it dawned on me --- duhhhhhh! That this momma and poppa eagle were going to feed their babies. And sometimes the stuff they fed them was not dead yet.

I got used to it..? Fishes floppin. lots of squirrels .... One time a baby pig and a deer leg. jesus god, I was rooting for the eagles and hid my feelings for the others. The nest was the size of a king size bed.
Mom in the rain. Loved her. Saw this live, and scared for babies - they were just about ready to fly, but not ready yet

when he sees his drowned kids in the lake and the added tragedy that it was his wife who killed them. I think this would be unbearable, to lose your children like that.

Okay, he didn't die, but you sure thought he did when the hound dog started up.
Wade (I think that was his name) in Saving Private Ryan.
Saying, "I wanna go HOME" and calling for his mother tore our heart outta our chests.
Yeah, Old Yeller was tough. It was so ingrained in society that Bill Murray's character has instant recognition when mentioning it in that Army basic training comedy.
The Goldblum fly guy in The Fly.
So sad and pathetic when he - it? - put the barrel of the shotgun to his head.
The Incredible Shrinking Man. If you don't know what I'm talking about, a spoiler won't help.
And come on, Stephen King aficionados - doesn't John Coffey get a little love here????

I went to the pictures with my then wife and her parents, to see The Green Mile. Because I knew what was coming, I was blubbering most of the way through. That thing when your throat kills when you're trying to hold it in. 'Heaven, I'm in heaven...'
Movie: Funny enough, it wasn't a person, but a thing. In Castaway with Tom Hanks when he loses "Wilson", his soccer ball. I went into the manly biting my cheeks, stiff upper lip, cough cough...lol. Couldn't help it.
[/SPOILER]
My wife and I watched a movie on the player a week or three ago. Tom Hanks. Fed Ex or whatever the business was. Watching the movie and allofasudden there's Wilson! We had seen the movie some years ago and even when Wilson made the scene I thought I was watching a completely different movie, was thinking, cool, neato how they used Wilson in this movie, too. Before we started the disc the title didn't ring any bells for me. We'd seen some other movie, Tom Hanks...I think...something to do with luggage strapped together...was thinking or trying to remember if that was the Wilson movie. Wasn't until I saw the other posts with Wilson that I realized, yeah, okay...only one movie with Wilson.
We've watched a few tear-jerkers but I don't remember if that was because someone died or for some other reason. Well...okay, yeah...there was a death in that movie where Clint Eastwood's son has a lead role, 'bout the bull-riding. Didn't know we were watching Clint Eastwood's son until some time later...saw something on-line I think. Once the credits start to roll I lose interest.
