Me: *reading a comment from this ONTD post* "My dad cries at BBC Jane Austin adaptations..."

Brian: "That chick was weird."

Me: *headtilt?*

Brian: "I think she just wanted to fuck a bunch of monkeys."

Me: *looooooong pause* "What?"

Brian: "Yeah, isn't sh-- Oh. That's Goodall. Nevermind."

Me: "Wow. Just...wow."

AAAAHHHHHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

That's brill.

I am a huge girl so it's more like what won't make me cry. But that being said, movie scenes that will get me every damn time are:

Lilo and Stitch when it looks like Lilo will be taken away, and later with "Is little and broken but still good"

A Little Princess, where I hasten to add it is the remake and not the Shirley Temple version. Particularly the scene where she's begging her dad to remember her.

LOTR: Two Towers. Ents marching, Elves at Helm's Deep I DO NOT CARE IF IT ISN'T CANON.

Ohhhh, I used to adore that version of A Little Princess when I was younger . I should watch it again and see if I get all misty like I did when I revisited the '94 (?) version of The Secret Garden.

As far as LOTR goes, I couldn't help crying when Faramir rides out against the horde, and it's spliced with...damn, one of the hobbits (*FAILS*) is singing....DEAR LORD.

[thebratqueen]

OMG YES. Though for some reason Two Towers is the one of the trilogy that always does it to me. I have no idea why.

[holy_whatever]

Omg, Finding Neverland. Without fail. EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. I was seriously bawling in theaters when I saw it.

Book-wise, I cry at Little Women for obvious reasons. I have also maybe cried at a Potter book or two. Omg, and The Last Battle.

[diraskyria]

The fact that I still haven't seen Finding Neverland makes me cry; does that count?

And I find all your literary ones totally acceptable and agreeable, OMG.

[holy_whatever]

OMG SEE IT. It is SO SAD. And also AMAZING.

*snickers at Jane Goodall*

I have not read the Chrono Crusade-- how many books are we talking here?

As for books, Guy Gavriel Kay's Fionavar Tapestry gets me in several places, for several reasons-- horror and grief and relief. *sniffle*

Theoden's death in Return of the King, with Eowyn saying "No, I saved you!" and him saying, "Yes, you did"... *sniffffff*

The Ents seeing what Saruman did to their forests and the whole huge betrayal there-- followed up by YAYS as the trees strke back. (I will always root for the tree-people.)

I know there's others, but those are the consistent stand-outs.

[diraskyria]

Chrono Crusade is only eight books, so it's definitely worth a glance. It takes the route of a lot of manga, though: starts out really light and humourous, and then WHAM. The last three books are just hardcore awesome drama.

And it has a much better ending than the anime, which starts the same, and ends entirely different.

Big Fish. Twice.

....great. Now I'm thinking Jane Austin, Monkeyfucker.
