I can't find it on YouTube, but there was an advert for some kind of British meat (beef possibly?) that featured an old couple. No speech. It showed them sharing very simple pleasures - at the seasdide in the rain under a shelter, dancing a little and then they went home into a small house and she cooked a joint of meat.
When she served it they looked at eachother and he touched her hand as if to say, "This is all I've ever wanted, thank you."

I blubbed every time.

Adverts make me aware of products on the market, but I'm not sure many of them make me want to buy.
The good ones can move me though.

I can also get over-emotional at sports montages.

Below is the BBC montage for the Los Angeles Olympics.
This was "my" Olympics. We had a video recorder and could watch events later at a reasonable time.
I'm so happy for the (older) children in my school who will have "their" Olympics in their own timezone.
'scuse the quality. It was '84
