Probably Love Actually. Someone was doing some ice skating routine to the theme and I had to turn it off; I couldn't watch it. But it's also probably my favorite movie. I know there are a lot of things that make me tear up but I can't think of any other good favorites right now...
I find that I will collect certain ideas of pain, or scenes from books that hurt and they will pile on top of each other. Once something sets me off, I remember all the Sad Things and it gets worse. Friends who committed suicide, or favorite artists who have passed away, for example. There's a scene at the end of one of David Eddings's books that I read at the right time/age and it stuck with me for years.
My most recent "oh, damn, this thing makes me cry" is this commercial. I really couldn't tell you why; I like the idea a lot, though.
That is touching... except for the bit about P&G being the ones to put me out of work :\ (I mean, I had been thinking about leaving Gillette anyway, really. But still.)
Bleh, that sucks. That's one problem with internet privacy - I had no idea you'd worked with them!
I thought of another one - The West Wing. I mean, seriously, half the episodes in the first couple of seasons make me tear up. It's RIDICULOUS. I get it from my mom; she's the same way.
