I know I’ve talked about this here before, but the one that always gets me is the scene in The Big C where the son finds the storage locker full of all the future birthday/Christmas/graduation/etc presents from his mom and Sia’s Lullaby plays over the scene. I’m not even a fan of her music generally, but that song is perfect for that moment, and even now when I hear it I have a Pavlovian response and instantly tear up.

I was literally just explaining this scene to my coworkers this week! It has stuck with me like few other scenes have.

Yeah, same. I liked the show but I don’t remember 90% of it. That scene has really stayed with me though, and Gabriel Basso is so good in it. The way he is confused at first and then his face crumbles as he realises what he’s looking at and the implications of it. It’s just perfect.

This is the second time this week I’ve been talking on ONTD about sad scenes I love - the other day I was blubbering over the ending of Billy Elliot and now this, lol. What is my life.

That scene started with me holding back tears and ended with me ugly crying after the episode had finished. I still tear up at the thought of that song or scene.

Oh man, every time I see it I’m a mess. :-(
