Post a movie clip that makes you cry.
This clip from Lilo and Stitch makes me cry every single time, which means either that I am a huge sap, or that it's just really touching.

"This is my family. I found it, all on my own.
It's little, and broken, but still good. Yeah, still good."

1. Gale Sayer's Speech from "Brian's Song"
There's a few scenes from that movie that bring me to tears every time; this is one of them:

11. Add this to it.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w26pW2Uz2-Y

If the hands of time were hands that I could hold,
I’d keep them warm and in my hands,
They’d not turn cold!

Hand in hand we’d choose the moments that should last,
The lovely moments that should have no future and no past!

The summer from the top of a swing,
The comfort and the sound of a lullaby,
The innocence of leaves in the spring,
But most of the moment when love first touched me!

All the happy days would never learn to fly,
Until the hands of time would choose to wave good-bye!
< instrumental >
The innocence of leaves in the spring,
But most of the moment when love first touched me!

All the happy days would never learn to fly,
Until the hands of time would choose to wave good-bye!

13. When Nahari pleads with Gandhi
Edited on Sat Jul-18-09 08:52 PM by AllenVanAllen



to eat, he also confesses his great sin:




Nahari- I'm going to Hell! I killed a child! I smashed his head against a wall.

Gandhi- Why?

Nahari- Because they killed my son! The Muslims killed my son!

Gandhi- I know a way out of Hell. Find a child, a child whose mother and father have been killed and raise him as your own.

Gandhi- Only be sure that he is a Muslim and that you raise him as one.



This one gets me every time.
I couldn't find an english version but here is a German cut with english subtitles.

It's at 6 min. in:

17. The euthanasia scene from Million Dollar Baby almost had me on the ground...
But I can't find that clip.

So here is a clip from Mystic River.

20. Jesus, I don't know if I can narrow it down to just one.
One of many scenes in Lord of the Rings
http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x5z5ae_the-lord-of-the-rings-pippins-song_fun

Surprisingly moving scene from an early episode of The Simpsons. I think you have to see the whole episode though. :)

22. From the movie Pay It Forward.
Movie Trailer

Tearful ending scene.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ARk86oIHlLc



And the post above from Blade Runner reminds me of a quote from Doctor Who

The Doctor : There are worlds out there where the sky is burning, and the sea's asleep, and the rivers dream; people made of smoke and cities made of song. Somewhere there's danger, somewhere there's injustice, somewhere else the tea's getting cold. Come on, Ace. We've got work to do.
