What movie or scene from a movie (or show) makes your eyes misty?

The Bob's Burgers episode "The Amazing Rudy" (season 14, episode 2).

Regular-sized Rudy goes out to eat with his divorced parents and their new significant others. It goes horribly wrong and he runs away to the Belchers'. I tear up a little bit even thinking of it because it isn't played for laughs. I really feel for Rudy, just trying his hardest and putting way too much pressure on himself, and the way Louise steps up for her best friend is just so sweet.

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.)

Grave of fireflies, of course

[–] reallyzen@lemmy.ml 1 points 15 hours ago

One of the best films about war, of all times and genres. Incredibly powerful and, yes, quite a tearful experience.

[–] Narauko@lemmy.world 1 points 17 hours ago

The sinking of the Going Merry. Oda made me cry for a boat, and I'm not even joking.

[–] MaxTheMummer@lemm.ee 3 points 21 hours ago

The ending of Watership Down. Can't even think about without getting misty.

[–] BreadOven@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

"little soldier boy" episode from Avatar: the last Airbender. Every time.

First season of After Life by Ricky Gervais.

The scene after where Gervais' character realizes fully what he has done, especially to himself long term, is soul crushing. The i did the right thing, but for all of the right and wrong reasons look on his face is haunting. I think it is the 2nd episode.

A lot of the episodes open with him watching his wife telling him to enjoy life. Her sitting on the hospital bed, on her final days because of cancer.

[–] JackFrostNCola@lemmy.world 3 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

I hated gervais before this, i found his comedy delivery and style very grating but after watching this shoe and getting kicked in the guts every couple episodes i gave him another shot and dont mind him so much now. Show is a 10/10 if you want to sob silently with your partner.

[–] el_bhm@lemm.ee 1 points 5 minutes ago

He can be eyerollingly obnoxious. And he is becoming more and more out of touch.

He tends to have a heart and in the right place. His XFM auditions were the greatest proof of this.

[–] Shardikprime@lemmy.world 22 points 1 day 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.

[–] agnomeunknown@lemmy.world 1 points 19 hours ago

Magnolia by Paul Thomas Anderson. The whole movie is pretty emotional but the scene where Tom Cruise's character confronts his absentee father on his death bed absolutely destroys me.

One of my all time favorite movies, but I gotta be ready to full on cry if I want to watch it.

Opening for “Up” not in the top comments?

[–] yoshi@lemmy.today 1 points 19 hours ago

When Rudy's dad tears up seeing his son on the field

The movie 'About Time'. The ending tore me up.

[–] jpablo68@infosec.pub 16 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Miguel from Coco singning "Remember me" with Coco.

[–] garbagebagel@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Omg I held it together so well* during Coco until one of the final scenes when Hector picks up Coco and I absolutely lost it.

*I cry at everything so "well" for me is probably not well for anyone else

[–] PetteriPano@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

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.

A dogs purpose

[–] theedqueen@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

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.

[–] Rezurektme@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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

[–] chiliedogg@lemmy.world 3 points 23 hours ago

The whole season was great (more than half of the guest actor and actress nominations came from the series), but that may have been the finest hour in television history.

I don't want to spoil the episode for anyone, but I'll point out that my ultra-right parents changed their stance on a major social issue after watching it because it was just so beautiful.

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.

[–] d00phy@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Came here for this. When he’s walking with his dad past all the people from his life smiling and saying goodbye, I always get serious feels. Had a little tremor just typing that out!

[–] Sterile_Technique@lemmy.world 35 points 2 days ago

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

[–] AgentGrimstone@lemmy.world 28 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

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