Times the tears rolled . . .

 

I am a pretty soppy person with a really tender heart. It doesn't take much for the tears to start flowing. I cry over all sorts.  I am not a WAAAA kind of cryer, but a silent cryer, a cryer that just oozes tears and yes, copious amounts of tissues are needed. I am always crying when we watch the television.  Here are some of my favourite television and cinema cries. 

 

The Gilmore Girls.  Season 4, Episode 21.  I had been waiting for 4 whole seasons for Luke and Lorelai to finally get it together.  I mean, from the start it was fairly obvious that these two were meant for each other and time and time again their love was thwarted. Finally in this episode, things seem to be falling into place.  Luke invited Lorelai to be his plus one at this sister's wedding, and at the reception afterwards he askes her to dance.  The music is "Reflecting Light" by Sam Phillips.  The moment so tender.  I am just so happy that these two are finally on the same page. The tears flow. Luke is so awkward and actually Lorelai is a bit awkward too, the chemistry is tangible. Love, love, love. 

 

Call the Midwife.  I can't think of an episode of this series, since day one, that hasn't left me in tears.  Big soppy, heart rending tears. It always takes me on a wild, unpredictable emotional journey.  Sometimes the tears are happy, sometimes they are incredibly heart wrenching.  And still I watch.  I know I am going to cry, but still I watch.  Why?  Because it is one of the best shows out there and it is worth every single tear shed. 

  

Downton Abbey when "that" happened.  My heart shattered into a million pieces.  Did they not deserve a happily ever after . . .  sigh  . . .  

 

The final episode ever of Inspector George Gently.  I was like NO . . . .  

 

Sommersby . . .  again no happy ending.  But I think it is a beautiful love story.   

 

Top Gun when Goose dies. (Spoiler alert, sorry.)  Its just so sad. 

  

The end of Officer and a Gentleman when Richard Gere sweeps Debra Winger off her feet.  Tears of joy.  

 

That moment when Rory and Dean break up during the dance contest on Gilmore Girls . . . I was 17 again and breaking up with my boyfriend . . . 

 

In the movie My Girl, when Thomas dies, leaving Veda heartbroken.  My heart breaks too for this little girl who has had to deal so much loss in her life.  

 

 That episode of the Gilmore Girls where Lorelai is singing "I will always love you" at kareoke and Luke comes in near the end.  These two belong together, but there are so many bumps  in the road. 

 

Grey's Anatomy, when Merideth gives Derek the ultimatim and asks him to choose her, to love her . . . and you just know how much it took for her to say it, and then he doesn't show up . . . .

  

When Izzie and Karev get married in Grey's Anatomy.  Such a tender moment.  His vows  . . .  wow.

  

The scene in "A Year in the Life" where Lorelai is watching the Star's Hollow Musical preview and the song "Unbreakable" is sung  . . .  it just touches my heart and tears fall.  Who has never felt broken . . .  

 

Outlander . . . so many times, again and again  . . . 

  

Poldark  . . .  does the course of true love never run smooth? 

 

  

A Year in the Life when Loralai and Luke elope and finally get married on the night before their wedding, and that same music is playing that was playing the first time they danced together.  Sigh  . . .   

 

The last scene in Funny Girl, when Barbara Streisand is singing the song "My Man." 

Oh, my man I love him so
He'll never know
All my life is just despair
But I don't care
When he takes me in his arms
The world is bright, all right
What's the difference if I say
I'll go away
When I know I'll come back on my knees some day?
For whatever my man is
I am his forever more

What are some moments in television that made you cry?  Any suggestion of worthy watches? Why do we like to watch things that make us cry?  We may never know  . . .

And I do too!

PS - meant to tell you this experience I had at grocery shop yesterday.  Got through the tils only to discover as I was putting it into the bag that my loaf of bread had a slit from a knife in top of the bag.  I wanted it exchanged of course.  The cashier put his light on, but nobody came, and so I told him I knew right where it was and would run back and get my own, so he said he would give me the staff discount on my whole grocery order because of that, whipped out his staff card and I got a full discount of 10% on all my groceries.  Well worth the trip to the back of the shop for the new loaf of bread!  Yay!
