morciu: That Buffy the Vampire Slayer episode, I don't wanna spoil it to anyone that hasn't watched it but if you did watch it you know what I'm talking about.

teshra: ??? I watched every episode of Buffy and also Angel, many of them 2 or more times. And I'm drawing a complete blank on any episode that got me remotely emotional. Feel free to pm me with it if you don't want to post publicly even though the show has been off the air for 10 years now. Or unless you were just being sarcastic and I didn't pick up on that like with the "star wars prequels" comment in post 55 (which I wholeheartedly agree with).

As for my choices, Braveheart of course like many of you have said. Sholay back in the day for any of you familiar with Indian movies :). I know there have been more but can't think of any atm.
I have all 7 seasons of Buffy on DVD and have watched them, oh, I'd guess eight or nine times (I watched every season back-to-back and then watched all seven again immediately after I'd finished the first run through, the last time I watched them :)

I'm guessing it's one of the episodes in the last two seasons maybe, as they are quite depressing compared to the earlier ones?

Having said that, though, I think Buffy is one of the best-written TV shows ever made, particularly as people think it's just a "kids' horror series" when in reality it's far from it -- beautifully written and acted, with one of the best ensemble casts ever created and laugh out loud hilarious in many parts.

Interestingly too, Sarah Michelle Gellar just said this week that she'd do a movie of Buffy if it was offered to her. Hell, I'd be first in line.

Oh no......I'm feeling like I need to start watching all those seasons again. Damn you :)

It's season 5, the episode is called "The Body". Even if the show is really old there are always people who haven't watched it and may do so one day, I think it's one of the coolest TV shows ever so I really don't want to spoil it for anyone
Many. There are many movies that managed to make me cry (guess I'm a little sensitive).

But a movie that never failed to make me teary eyed is The Mighty (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0119670/?ref_=sr_3), a movie adaptation of the novel "Freak the Mighty". I remember seeing it at school and then, I was constatly teased for the rest of my elementary school years for crying while watching a movie.

Oh god....NOW I remember. Yes, utterly heartbreaking....but incredibly well acted and beautifully filmed. Classic TV, but so sad.
Dad and Million dollar baby are very moving. Schindler's list probably the saddest movie I've ever seen.
The Fountain directed by Darren Aronofsky makes me blubber everytime I re-watch it. The first time I saw it, I had just lost a loved one to a terminal illness... the themes the film dealt with hit very close to home. I recommend it to everybody; it's beautifully filmed, acted and has one of the best soundtracks I've ever heard by the composer Clint Mansell.
The Horse Whisperer - makes me cry every time I see it. An amazing movie by Robert Redford.

Crosmando: You know, that movie stirs a lot of really strong emotions, but I never felt direct sadness at any point. You knew at a certain point that he was doomed. I would say what The Road did best was utter horror and hopelessness. The feeling that movie gave me was that "everyone is doomed", and even if someone escapes an immediate threat, there's no safety no matter where they go... The true horror of the post-apocalyptic setting...
That's a completely fair assessment.

I think the emotion in my reaction to it was tied to the fact that I watched not too long after my first son was born. So I was watching the movie through this sort of allegorical lens of the duties of fatherhood and this dread that I might leave while my son still needs me. Corny and overly emotive, perhaps. But that's the feeling it elicited.
The Last Unicorn still has me teary-eyed everytime I watch it. I've seen it a hundred times by now, and I revisit it every year at Christmas. Never fails to affect me.

NameGoo: Requiem for a Dream, it left me so emotionally drained that I never want to see it again.
same here. I was completely crushed after seeing that. Never had a movie that had such an impact on me. It haunted me for days....
