I used to cry a lot more easily than I do now. I’ve toughened up through the years. But there are still some TV and movie moments that make me tear up, and some that actually make me weep. Here are a few of my moments. There are more, but for the sake of brevity, I’ll limit them. And for those of you that haven’t watched these yet, there may be some spoilers.
1. BuffY the Vampire Slayer: The one that absolutely made me bawl was when Oz left Willow. Oz was one of my favorite characters and I didn’t want him to go. Willow was also a favorite of mine, and I couldn’t stand watching her heart break.
2. Buffy the Vampire Slayer: At the very end when Spike sacrificed himself to “save the world”. Buffy finally says “I love you”. Then Spike says “No, you don’t. But thanks for saying it.”
3. The Vampire Diaries: When Damon tells Elena for the first time that he loves her. He says, “I don’t deserve you. But my brother does.” And he says, “God, I wish you didn’t have to forget this. But you do.” And this big tear falls out of his eye. Then he makes her forget the whole thing.
4. Moonlight: When Beth tells Mick they can’t live in each other’s world and that she “can’t do this anymore”. He walks out and goes down the hall and stops and puts his forehead against the wall like he’s going to cry. She puts her head on her arm against the wall of her apartment and starts sobbing. I thought it was going to end that way. That one actually has a happy ending, but I won’t say how in case someone wants to watch it and hasn’t yet.
These are just a few of mine. What are some of yours? I would love to hear from you!

Fun idea! I’ve been sitting here trying to think of one for a while now.
Big Fish–which is a movie–made me cry. The part where Billy Crudup quit hating his dad’s tall tales hit pretty close to home for me. I totally “got” the conflict of that movie.
Supernatural–the part where Bobby was dying and went to his favorite memory, which was sitting with Sam and Dean and having a mundane conversation about what was on TV. I understood.
True Blood–when Sookie sat at her kitchen table eating the last pie her grandma made (and crying), I cried too. You can’t keep it, but you don’t want to just eat it, either.
I haven’t seen the first two, but that moment for Sookie was really sad. She loved her Gran so much.
I know there were a lot more sad moments in TV and movies, but those four just popped in my mind. The Vampire Diaries have made me cry several times since I’ve been watching it on Netflix. I’m finally caught up and watching them on my DVR. 🙂
I wish I could like this post over, and over again….
I also cried at the ending of Buffy when Spike sacrificed himself…heck, this just gave me goose bumps thinking about it.
Other moments include the series finale of Growing Pains (I thought my best friend was moving away and never coming back) and Criminal Minds when the team buried Prentiss. I’ve cried more times than I can count, but these are tops on my list right now.
I remember crying so hard at the series finale of 90210, that I was embarrassed to go out drinking with my girls afterward (I was in college at this point). Oddly enough, it didn’t leave enough of a mark to remember exactly why I cried….
OH, and I bawled my eyes out when Bobby died on NYPD Blue. I ❤ Jimmy Smits still.
Oh, yes, that was a sad Criminal Minds episode. I didn’t really watch the other shows you mentioned, but there are so many sad moments on our favorite shows. Often, it’s the season or series finale that’s the saddest. That’s why I cried so hard at what I thought was the end of Moonlight. I was so glad he came back to her before the scene was over.
I can’t remember all the times I have cried during a movie or tv show (but there have been a lot – damn female hormones). The last time was during “True Grit” during a particular scene with a horse. And I cried during a few Criminal Minds episodes.
I cried during that True Blood episode, too. I could relate to how Sookie was feeling. 😦
Darlene, I know I answered this comment earlier! I must have had a computer glitch.
I can’t stand watching animals die or get hurt. (I assume that was what the horse scene was about.) I won’t watch this one animal shelter commercial that comes on sometimes.
Yeah, that True Blood episode was really sad.
The finale of ER – it was so well done and such a homage to the beginning, JJ’s departure on Criminal Minds, the death of Hotch’s wife on Criminal Minds. I know there are more but I can’t think of them, lol.
Oh, man, the death of Hotch’s wife. That was really sad!
