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

Every. Damn. Time.

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."

Been a while but probably the opening sequence of Up

A few episodes of Futurama. You can guess which ones.

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.

One that comes to mind is Mike from Better Call Saul: "I broke my boy. I broke my boy."

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?"

Can’t watch it for some reason. Is it the scene where he sees his kids’ videos after losing time on the water planet?

[–] Corno@lemm.ee 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

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!

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.

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

Alternatively:

"You are who you choose to be."

"Superman."

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.

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

[–] palordrolap@fedia.io 5 points 1 day 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.

I cry quite easily, so a small sample of films that have made my eyes misty are:

The Remarkable Life of Ibelin
Bridge to Terabithia
A Monster Calls

[–] Toes@ani.social 10 points 1 day ago (2 children)

+1 for bridge to terabithia. That movie still chokes me up.

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

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.

All those crying Pokemon in the first film when Ash is turned into stone.
