Silver Linings Playbook. A real tear jurker. The scene at the end.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 24 minutes ago

S1E3 of Last of Us - "Long, Long Time." Happy and sad tears galore.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 52 minutes ago

"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.

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 Christmas Dinner at the end of "Seven Fishes" Season 2 of The Bear. Cuts a little too much on the dotted line for me.

Paddington 2

Miguel from Coco singning "Remember me" with Coco.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 hour ago

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.

Contact, when she enters the machine.

The Wild Robot if you're a parent.

When Pepper tells Tony he can rest.

The end of Onward

Tossing some anime in here:

Anohana Violet Evergarden Fullmetal Alchemist (watch Brotherhood, but the scenes I'm thinking of but even harder in the original)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 hours ago

The sequence at the end of the Six Feet Under finale set to Sia's Breathe Me absolutely gutted 2005 me.

Spoiler for a twenty year old showWhen Claire is driving away and sees Nate in the rear view 😭

The episode "The Sign" of Bluey, the end.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 hours ago

From Bandit getting that phonecall onwards is all tears.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

I remember Click (2006) being very sad, but I haven't watched it in a long time.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 58 minutes ago* (last edited 58 minutes ago)

Man that scene when he is screaming at himself while in auto pilot was brutal and gut wrenching

The dad scene killed me

The original Fresh Prince when Will is desperately trying to convince himself he doesn't need his dad. Every time.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 10 hours ago* (last edited 10 hours ago)

Link for the uninitiated.

"How come he don't want me, man?" And the way Phil grabs him for the hug 😭💔

[–] [email protected] 10 points 11 hours ago

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).

"A toast to my big brother George, the richest man in town."

Alternatively:

"You are who you choose to be."

"Superman."

[–] [email protected] 13 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

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.

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.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 13 hours ago

The scene in Interstellar when he returns from the time dilation to watch like 40 years of updates he missed from his kids.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 hours ago

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.

What dreams may come, 1998 movie with Robin Williams.

the street performance scene in bocchi the rock, no matter what ill always start crying when i watch it

[–] [email protected] 6 points 10 hours ago

The last scene of the last episode of Six Feet Under.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 11 hours ago

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.

Man, worst second date ever. Had no idea what I was walking into in that theater

[–] [email protected] 5 points 9 hours ago

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."

The ending to that depressing as fuck Speilberg film A.I. Don't ever watch it unless you want to ruin your day.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 56 minutes ago

Man I had forgotten about A.i.

Poor dude waited until the end of time to have his wish granted

[–] [email protected] 20 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Grave of the fireflys... Sometimes the trailer is already enough... F*** can't even rewatch the thing...

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.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 hours ago

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

[–] [email protected] 23 points 14 hours ago (2 children)

The last 15 minutes of "The Return of The King," starting with, "My friends... You bow to no one."

Every. Damn. Time.
