The Iron Giant
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.)
The last part of AI (2001)
The sinking of the Going Merry. Oda made me cry for a boat, and I'm not even joking.
Grave of fireflies, of course
One of the best films about war, of all times and genres. Incredibly powerful and, yes, quite a tearful experience.
ANY time any dog dies.
A dogs purpose
The ending of Watership Down. Can't even think about without getting misty.
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 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.
Opening for “Up” not in the top comments?
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.
"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
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.
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.
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.
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!
“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.”

The intro to the game stray
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 show
When Claire is driving away and sees Nate in the rear view 😭
Not a tear jerker for me, but still easily one of the all time best endings for a show. Wonderful montage set to a perfect and beautiful song. After it aired, the next day, people at work were asking me how it ended but not wanting any spoilers. I just told them:
SPOILER
Everyone dies at the end
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.

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."
