ANY time any dog dies.
Grave of fireflies, of course
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.
When Rudy’s dad tears up seeing his son on the field
The ending of Watership Down. Can’t even think about without getting misty.
The movie ‘About Time’. The ending tore me up.
“little soldier boy” episode from Avatar: the last Airbender. Every time.
Leaves from the vine…
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.
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.
Opening for “Up” not in the top comments?
“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.
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.
“You could never just do the expected, I was just an idea in a bog, But you sewed up your dream and we made quite a team, Jim and Kermit, a boy and his frog.”
- Tom Smith - A Boy and His Frog
Miguel from Coco singning “Remember me” with Coco.
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
S1E3 of Last of Us - “Long, Long Time.” Happy and sad tears galore.
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.
