The first minutes of Up.
-
Man, worst second date ever. Had no idea what I was walking into in that theater
-
I took the kids to see some fun animation movie. Got totalled in the first few minutes.
"Some dust got in my eye. Here, you can eat my popcorn."
-
-
Why is anything else listed here?
-
Because the question isn’t, “the most.” And even then, that’s subjective.
-
-
-
Been a while but probably the opening sequence of Up
-
"I have been, and always shall be, your friend."
-Spock, Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan
-
The scene in Interstellar when he returns from the time dilation to watch like 40 years of updates he missed from his kids.
-
The last 15 minutes of "The Return of The King," starting with, "My friends... You bow to no one."
Every. Damn. Time.
-
Seen this more times than I can count, and tears every time.
-
Yes. Bawling like a baby!
-
-
Grave of the fireflys... Sometimes the trailer is already enough... F*** can't even rewatch the thing...
-
I watched it once, and cried for two hours. Not going through that again!
-
-
The original Fresh Prince when Will is desperately trying to convince himself he doesn't need his dad. Every time.
-
It's funny that for having such a full career I still think Fresh Prince was an absolute masterpiece and unequaled by anything else Will Smith did. (Second place was probably the original Men in Black).
-
Link for the uninitiated.
"How come he don't want me, man?" And the way Phil grabs him for the hug 😭💔
-
-
What dreams may come, 1998 movie with Robin Williams.
-
That's a good one, another good Robin Williams is Patch Adams.
-
-
Spock: “I have been and always shall be your friend” [dies]
Kirk: “No….”
-
Ending of the Sixth Sense.
"Grandma says you asked her a question. She says to tell you the answer is 'every day', what was the question, momma?"
"Did I make you proud?"
-
Birdman (with Michael Keaton) - nothing in the actual movie but the absolute soul crushing sadness when I realized that they weren't making a Harvey Birdman Attorney at Law movie.
-
You want a tearjerking Michael Keaton movie, watch My Life. Hydrate afterwards, plenty of electrolytes, you're welcome.
-
-
Buffy the TV show, when she discovers her mother's dead body.
"Mom? MOM! ... Mommy?" Tears
-
She looked so lost, it hit me like a gut punch
-
-
All those crying Pokemon in the first film when Ash is turned into stone.
-
Pikachu crying gets me every time :')
-
They're just weeping because he's recently discovered titties are a thing he can potentially enjoy, and Pokemon're no longer very interesting to him, as a result. 🥹
-
-
Buffy The Vampire Slayer, “The Body”.
Mom? Mom! Mommy?
-
Most are giving joke answers.
This one hits hard.
-
-
A lot of seens in Logan with Professor X. His mental decline was a gut punch because I was watching my grandfather go through the same thing at the same time. His portrayal was spot on.
Happy with Stark's daughter on the porch talking about cheeseburgers. Such a small moment, but so genuine feeling.
-
Into the wild when he discovers that human existence isn't meant to be lived in isolation and then dies a few days later in total isolation.
The end of Saving Private Ryan always gets me as well.
-
Maes Hughes' big action moment in Full Metal Alchemist - either version.
Alternatively, the scene this music https://youtu.be/EL7e5XrzanA goes to (Ep 5 of Cowboy Bebop) - far more of a tear jerker for me than the final episode.
-
-
Can’t watch it for some reason. Is it the scene where he sees his kids’ videos after losing time on the water planet?
-
It's the one that happens later on in the movie towards the end, though the first scene you mentioned is definitely one that still gets me teary eyed!
-
-
-
General Waverly walks out in uniform to find his old unit waiting for him. (“White Christmas”)
-
"A toast to my big brother George, the richest man in town."
Alternatively:
"You are who you choose to be."
"Superman."
-
Star Trek DS9’s “The Visitor”
-
"Duet" gets me too
-
-
Another one is the movie 'The Fountain' which is played excellently by Hugh Jackman.
-
Les Mis
for example: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ulJXiB5i_q0
The ending of that Scrubs episode with Brendan Fraser https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=e__1KU7lg-4
The ending of Jurassic Bark https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=0WBbKSFhw9A
Watching the music video for My Heart Will Go On
The ending of this Cold Case episode https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=jMc_RyGBjBE
The ending of Pan's Labyrinth
The music video for Hozier's Take Me To Church
The liberation of a concentration camp in Band Of Brothers
-
The last scene of the last episode of Six Feet Under.
-
I found the entire concept, but especially the "happy ending" of Paulie to be tragic and extremely depressing to me.
My mother loved Beaches and Steel Magnolias but they always ruined my day. Then my mother died of cancer and they crossed into the unwatchable list.
-
"Superman!"
-
You stay, I go. No Following.
-
-
I've been watching Shrinking and it has a lot of those moments
-
Yeah, I don't know which is more effective at catching me off-guard with shit I've not thought about in decades: Shrinking or The Bear. 😅
-
-
Cinema Paradiso. Wonderful Italian film about a boy’s relationship with an elder in the town as he mentally escapes war torn Sicily. Just wholesome and hits hard. It’s a beautiful story and the soundtrack by Ennio Morricone, ohhhh so good.
-
animale!
-
-
John Q
Up
-
Oh the scene/secquence? From Tim Burton's "Big Fish" when he gets the dad back in the water. That was so wholesome but so sad at the same time.
-
"It's not your fault" - Good Will Hunting
-
Miguel from Coco singning "Remember me" with Coco.
-
The episode "The Sign" of Bluey, the end.
-
From Bandit getting that phonecall onwards is all tears.
-
For me, it's "Grandad"
-
-
Toy Story 4. The scene where Woody says goodbye to the rest of the toys and goes off on his new adventure with Bo Peep. Gets me every time.
The original Toy Story was the first movie I remember seeing in a theatre so maybe there's some nostalgia contributing to that.
-
"where do you think we are?"
The context is what makes this powerful. The buildup, the misdirection, the reveal.
This was Scrubs at its best. McGinley should have won an Emmy right there.
-
"A dog's purpose" movie's main purpose was to be tear jerker.
-
Opening for “Up” not in the top comments?
-
Inside Out
-
My obvious pick: "It's a terrible day for rain."
My niche pick: Patch Adams. The scene where he considers || jumping off the cliff ||
My IDGAF what you think pick: Avengers Endgame. "Hey, Pep" and "You can rest now."
-
The scene at the end of About Time between the father and son. I won't describe it, since I don't want to ruin it for anyone.
-
I remember Click (2006) being very sad, but I haven't watched it in a long time.
-
Man that scene when he is screaming at himself while in auto pilot was brutal and gut wrenching
The dad scene killed me
-
-
It's not a movie, it's an old avertisement, and I guarantee you if it doesn't stir something in you, you're not human:
-
That crash was so cartoonish, I couldn't help but laugh at that.
-
-
Contact, when she enters the machine.
-
THIS scence from "Platoon" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QEv3zzKyiFQ
The music is adagio for strings which has to be the saddest most emotional score ever
-
So I don't get to the cinema much, but I got to see The Muppets when it came out (over a decade ago, good grief), and Kermit singing Pictures In My Head totally broke me.
Dunno whether it will work for anyone else, but like many of a certain age, I grew up with the original Muppet Show on TV and it hit too damn hard.
-
The ending to that depressing as fuck Speilberg film A.I. Don't ever watch it unless you want to ruin your day.
-
Man I had forgotten about A.i.
Poor dude waited until the end of time to have his wish granted
-
-
"I love you Daddy" -Clannad
Every time and even when I just think about it
-
My Life with Michael Keaton and Nicole what’s her name
-
This is the top of the list. Nothing else comes close when you need a really good and sincere cry.
-
-
the street performance scene in bocchi the rock, no matter what ill always start crying when i watch it
