wrong, there is no disagreeing with my statement. Anyone that watched it, will know, its probably the most emotional thing ever put on tv. so, nobody was disagreeing, they were simply hating. you can’t disagree with facts. you just can’t. [/quote]
C’mon man, I haven’t seen the show you’re talking about but you must try to be objective. The level of sadness in a movie cannot be measured so it can’t be a fact.
It is possible some people were having a bit of fun with you though, but still, a scene on Supernatural simply cannot be the saddest thing on TV other than for you personally.[/quote]
true, when i say its the most emotional, it is purely my opinion. But, when i say it was a highly emotional scene, that really can’t be denied. maybe i’ll post a link to it, you be the judge. but its hard, unless you know about the series.

Grave of the Fireflies (Hotaru no Haka). This is THE saddest film that I have ever seen. It’ll seriously ruin your day…
I first watched this without knowing what I was getting myself into (I was told, “It’s a Ghibli film”…I was thinking “totoro”). For about a week it was all I could think about.
Military stuff can get me…even these commercials from Canada.
The first one in this clip is about one street in my hometown of Winnipeg that had three great heroes grow up on it and serve in WWI with distinction and all three received the Victoria Cross. For a city the size of Winnipeg that’s a huge ratio of badassness to come from one street!
Later there’s one about Andrew Mynarski, whose bomber was on fire over France and he tried to get his commanding officer out of a jammed turret but couldn’t pull it open, he caught fire while trying to pull the door of the turret and the officer told him it was no use…Mynarski jumped but his chute had melted to his back and he died on the way down. The officer trapped in the turret lived.
I’m proud to say I went to Andrew Mynarski junior high.
I can’t believe I forgot this one. I’ve seen 500 Days of Summer twice now and both times the “Expectations v. Reality” scene makes me cry, and I’m sure it has the same effect on any man who’s lived through what he’s experiencing.

fuckin Iron Giant, man.
I got one for ya though: BOOKS that made you tear up. The whole Dark Tower series, all 7. there was at least one moment in each book where the pages started looking pretty blurry.[/quote]
Of Mice and Men, never read anything as close to as sad as the end of that.
Also, George R. R. Martin is a huge asshole. Kills off lovable main characters like it’s, well… his job.
<spoilers for those who are going to watch the series, I highly recommend it>
When Shane kills Lem, and as he is watching him die breaks down and apologizes for it, got me, mostly because I totally didnt see it coming.
Then after Shane’s suicide, when the cops storm in and find his wife and child dead and laid out peacefully on the bed, the wife with flowers and his son with a toy police car, had to swallow very hard there to keep things in check.

I heard Ghibli made the egregious, egregious error of showing Grave of the Fireflies as a double-feature WITH Totoro! To put this in perspective, it would be like seeing a double matinee of Schindler’s List, followed by “Short Circuit 2”.
For anybody who wants to see an excellent, fact-based animated film that WILL affect you emotionally for some time to come, here is part 1 of 6
i hate to admit this but in the episode of how i met your mother when barney meets his father and is eating
dinner with his new wife and son and freaks out because hes jealous of his fathers other son and goes out in the driveway to tear down his basketball hoop.
having had basically grown up without a father and seeing how it affected myself and my brothers this scene kinda hit home for me.

Ill never forget the ending. unless i missed something after. When vick confessed to every crime, murder he ever did, but they couldn’t touch him, cause he made a deal allowing him to come clean with no fear of prosecution. of course, they had no clue to how much he would confess to. on the one hand he was an evil prick, and killer, on the other hand, he was a loving father who would do and did anything for his kids. gotta love him.
