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.
The first minutes of Up.
Man, worst second date ever. Had no idea what I was walking into in that theater
I took the kids to see some fun animation movie. Got totalled in the first few minutes.
“Some dust got in my eye. Here, you can eat my popcorn.”
Why is anything else listed here?
Because the question isn’t, “the most.” And even then, that’s subjective.
“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.
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
Oh man, I forgot about the bicentennial man 🤖😢
Opening for “Up” not in the top comments?
The Iron Giant
Star wars; the last Jedi
The Holdo maneuver.
The scene in Interstellar when he returns from the time dilation to watch like 40 years of updates he missed from his kids.
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 😭💔
“little soldier boy” episode from Avatar: the last Airbender. Every time.
Leaves from the vine…
The thing is by the time I decide to watch the series again, I always forget exactly where this episode is. Tears every time.
Those bastards snuck it into a leisurely story arc, too! It was all “oh the bad guys opened a tea house” and “Aang’s hanging out with the emperor” and then suddenly war trauma.
That show was far better than any marketing made it seem.
The last 15 minutes of “The Return of The King,” starting with, “My friends… You bow to no one.”
Every. Damn. Time.
Seen this more times than I can count, and tears every time.
Yes. Bawling like a baby!
Grave of the fireflies… Sometimes the trailer is already enough… F*** can’t even rewatch the thing…
I watched it once and didn’t cry but I must’ve been dissociated AF or something because I don’t remember any of it.
The breaking point for me is when his sister is chewing on the bottons.
I watched it once, and cried for two hours. Not going through that again!
I always recommend it… But also with the warning: You will only be able to watch it once!
I was looking for the movie when I opened the thread. I remember buying the special edition DVD, watched the movie, and put it away. It broke me, and I’ll never forget it! One of the best movies ever created.
I’ve never seen the movie. Reading the summary was enough to mess me up. I don’t think I’ll ever be able to watch it.
A few episodes of Futurama. You can guess which ones.
Tap for spoiler
Jurassic Bark?
That’s one for sure.
Edit: but not the biggest culprit for me
Luck of the fryrish always gets me
Philip J. Fry was named after Phil Hartman.
To carry on his spirit.
Yeppp that’s another one
Edit: still not the biggest one for me
Game of Tones?
There’s like 5 episodes that people always mention. If it’s not that, it’s probably The Late Philip J Fry, The Sting, or Lethal Inspection
Yeah that’s all of them. Game of Tones makes me the most emotional. 🥹
Edit: just thinking about it is doing it right now lol
This one gets easier when you remember that they retconned it later.
The one where Nixon’s reelected hits too close to home.
Been a while but probably the opening sequence of Up
