The opening scene of Hackers (1995). Poor kid can't use a touch tone telephone or computer until his 18th birthday.
That's like taking away Mozart's piano.

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.
Inside Out
Feeling brave, tried rewatching it and got to the scene with Bingbong and I had to turn that shit right off because I couldn't stop crying. I cry at a lot of things but few movies have ever made me cry as hard as this one.
The Iron Giant
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.
"It's not your fault" - Good Will Hunting
When Homer drives his mom to the middle of nowhere so she could meet up with some friends to escape the police and he just stays there even even after she’s long gone long enough for day to turn into night.
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."
"A dog's purpose" movie's main purpose was to be tear jerker.
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.
The intro to the game stray
Ibelin. Saw it in the cinema when it first came out, seemed like everybody in the audience was crying.
(It's about a kid with a degenerative disease who connected with people through an MMO.)
Ernest Goes to Camp, when the kids pick on him and reject him. He sings the song “All I Needed Was a Friend”. No joke, shit hits hard
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
The ending to that depressing as fuck Speilberg film A.I. Don't ever watch it unless you want to ruin your day.

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

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.
For me, it’s at the end when she looks out of the limo at Joss as he’s saying he believes her. That scene so perfectly captures their relationship to me.

The ending of Watership Down. Can't even think about without getting misty.
"Despite knowing the journey and where it leads, I embrace it. And I welcome every moment of it."
The fault in our stars was so sad I wish I hadn't ever watched it. I hate that movie.
