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 😭💔
Buffy The Vampire Slayer, “The Body”.
Mom? Mom! Mommy?
Most are giving joke answers.
This one hits hard.
Grave of the fireflys... Sometimes the trailer is already enough... F*** can't even rewatch the thing...
The last 15 minutes of "The Return of The King," starting with, "My friends... You bow to no one."
Every. Damn. Time.
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.
"I have been, and always shall be, your friend."
-Spock, Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan
Been a while but probably the opening sequence of Up
A few episodes of Futurama. You can guess which ones.
The one where Nixon's reelected hits too close to home.
"A toast to my big brother George, the richest man in town."
Alternatively:
"You are who you choose to be."
"Superman."
The episode "The Sign" of Bluey, the end.
For me, it's "Grandad"
From Bandit getting that phonecall onwards is all tears.
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?"
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.
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.
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
"Despite knowing the journey and where it leads, I embrace it. And I welcome every moment of it."
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
Spock: “I have been and always shall be your friend” [dies]
Kirk: “No….”
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 last scene of the last episode of Six Feet Under.
Silver Linings Playbook. A real tear jurker. The scene at the end.
General Waverly walks out in uniform to find his old unit waiting for him. (“White Christmas”)
Paddington 2
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
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.
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.
