Simple discussion what media got or gets you all teary eyed?

For me:

Video Games:

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3: When Soap died.

Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots: The last scene with Big Boss and Solid (Old) Snake making amends, the first time I saw this scene it damn near made me cry and still gets me somewhat chocked up when I watch it. Such a beautiful scene .

Movies:

Ghost: The ending made me cry once.

Star Trek 2: The Wrath of Khan: I cried when Spock died after learning that Lenard Nimoy passed away.

TV:

Ghost Whisperer: I think in the pilot episode there was a Marine who had PTSD and it was due to him getting pinned by the enemy and his weapon jammed and his buddies where trying to save him and they got KIA. The ending showed them forgiving him and telling him it was okay and not to punish himself...The first time I saw this---it nearly got me.

Music:

The Living Years by Mike and the Mechanics & Panis Angelicus by Josh Groban: It didn't help me to listen to these songs when my mother passed away, took me years to be able to listen to them again without sobbing.

Ladder 49. I can't watch that movie at all anymore, chokes me up every time.

One of the endings of the original Disgaea got me pretty choked up as well, can't remember which one though.

Video games: absolutely none. They just don't get to me in any way, shape or form. I have no emotional attachment to any video game characters. There's just so rarely the kind of character development necessary for emotional attachment in a game. I dunno, trying to get onto the ESO server on launch day had me in tears.

Movies: when Mufasa dies, obviously. When Hazel gets hit by the car in Watership down, of course. Anything where a beloved dog dies. Gladiator, when he saw his wife and son at the end, was emotional. Titanic, when I realised that Leonardo Di Caprio was only an actor and hadn't really died. When Littlefoot's mum dies at the start of The Land Before Time. There are quite a lot.

Books: very few here. The Remaining, when a certain character dies, but I won't spoil it by saying who. Same with The Wheel of Time books, particularly book 14. I often think about the beginning of Steelheart, when the mother in the bank tries desperately to gather up the bones of her baby that has just been murdered by Deathpoint - a truly horrific image.

The news: anything where children or babies are killed or abused in some way or another. Been thinking a lot recently about the 16 children and the 2 babies and their parents on board the Germanwings flight that crashed. I don't understand how anybody could do such a thing, and that really upsets me, which is hopefully reassuring to any of my passengers! Any story about somebody who tries to save somebody who is drowning, especially a parent trying to save a child or someone trying to save their dog, and one or both end up dying.

Music: Unforgettable and Smile, both by Nat King Cole, as they were played at my Grandmother's funeral. Bright Eyes by Art Garfunkel, maybe because of watching rabbits die in Watership down as a small child, or maybe because it got stuck in my head when as a child I watched my cat scream in pain for an hour before finally passing away, and then I failed when I attempted to close his once-bright, yellow eyes like they do in films.

Music is biggest media form for me getting teary-eyed.
- Barber's Adagio for Strings has an epic climix that gets to me every time I hear it. This may also be from my connection to the music from the movie Platoon

- Song On A Winter's Night by Sarah MacLachlin paints such a gorgeous picture, I get choked dreaming about that setting. (Gordon Lightfoot originally did the song buty his version is much more "upbeat: than Sarah's.)

- The Boxer by Simon and Garfunkel. There is a part where the lyrics are "Every blow that cuts him like a knife." and music mirrors those jabs eloquently.

As K-Tel used to say, "And Many, many more!"

Video games are not quite as prolific here, but there are some that can get me teary=eyed.

- Skyrim has a few parts, usually out of the way notes and such that tell small stories. The NPCs (and their stories) just do grab me, though.

- Fallout 3 actually gets to me when James dies and the references I find about Katherine (Mother).

Movies and Anime have a few examples for me.

- Ghost Whisperer, like you, had a few episodes that choked me up.

- Highway to Heaven (with Michael Landon) was also a good, heartfelt show.

- The Hulk (with Bill Bixby) when the closing song comes on and you see him walking off down a another road after being chased from, his current location.

- Samurai 7 when the "happy Samurai" and the "mechanically inclined Samurai" die.

- Black Lagoon's Ending songs/credits. The https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oWZh3tK6zkw and a special one for https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a-LkKL-j5XU.

Books are a good source for getting me choked up.

- The ending of the book Divided Allegiance by Elizabeth Moon (book 2 of the Paksenarrion trilogy) has me crying every time I read it. All it is, is communiques from the different granges reporting on Paks' progress after her ordeals in the book and the very sad state she is in.

- The story of Menolly in Anne McCaffrey's Dragons of Pern novels (Dragonsong and Dragonsinger).

I better quit. I may get a rep for crying

Anything that involves forgiveness or getting through depression is almost guaranteed to make me cry. Not hard to figure out why.

Games - Bioshock: Infinite, Dishonored. And Life Is Strange at the end of every episode so far.

TV Shows - Lost, about every other episode. Namely any time the OdysseusDesmond/Penelope theme music plays. Korra season 4 made me tear up a few times (and still does on repeated watchings).

Books - I remember the The Deathly Hallows made me cry, after Harry views the memories and knows what has to be done. As a very young one, the death of Methuselah in Redwall made me cry.

Massive spoilers of course.

A good bit of everything. Films, television, games, even books. Music has never made me cry however.

I'm a damn sensitive baby and there are a lot of times I can't help but to ball my eyes out at something. Sometimes I try really hard to hold it back but most of the time I can't.

Film wise, there are just countless times I've cried while watching a movie that I can't name them all. However, I significant time was when I was watching Gran Torino. I was crying like a puss and everyone that was watching with me couldn't understand why. For some reason, Clint Eastwood's death in that movie really got to me and it looks like a movie that would never make you do that, so that's why it's so significant

Video game wise, Mass Effect 3 and The Walking Dead were tear jerkers all the way through, while some really impactful one was the ending to Red Dead Redemption or Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons. Just a couple of hours ago I cried during a very emotional moment in The Witcher 3.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GTRDAv1c79c scene from Trailer Park Boys, where Ricky learns his goldfish Orangie has died. I rarely get teary eyed, but this one hits hard. I also laughed. But it's still sad.
