I have been tremendously moved by many different pieces of art in many media.

Only 4 have made me cry (and by that, I don't mean tear up, I mean weep)

  1. Porgy and Bess -- Serena (Wilma Shakesnider) singing "My Man's Gone Now" with that great keening wail at the end and Porgy (Donnie Ray Albert) going after Bess with "Oh, Lord, I'm on my Way" both wiped me out.

  2. Cyrano de Bergerac -- the end of the third act (of four) when he and his group are made the front lines and Cyrano rushes forward reciting "We are the Gascony Cadets."  (Derek Jacobi played the role in a translation by Anthony Burgess)

  3. The men marching to their deaths in <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0097441/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1">Glory</a>.

  4. <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2779318/">The Day of the Doctor.</a>

{sorry about the links being bollixed.  I'll try to fix it again later.}
