Buffy The Vampire Slayer, “The Body”.
Mom? Mom! Mommy?
The last scene of the last episode of Six Feet Under.
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.
The original Fresh Prince when Will is desperately trying to convince himself he doesn't need his dad. Every time.
Link for the uninitiated.
"How come he don't want me, man?" And the way Phil grabs him for the hug 😭💔
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).
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.
Star Trek DS9’s “The Visitor”
The scene in Interstellar when he returns from the time dilation to watch like 40 years of updates he missed from his kids.
What dreams may come, 1998 movie with Robin Williams.
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.
Ernest Goes to Camp, when the kids pick on him and reject him. He sings the song “All I Needed Was a Friend”. No joke, shit hits hard
Grave of the fireflys... Sometimes the trailer is already enough... F*** can't even rewatch the thing...
I watched it once, and cried for two hours. Not going through that again!
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.
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!
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.
animale!
My Life with Michael Keaton and Nicole what’s her name
General Waverly walks out in uniform to find his old unit waiting for him. (“White Christmas”)
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."
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
The fault in our stars was so sad I wish I hadn't ever watched it. I hate that movie.
So my sister bought me the wind rises... I went it watching it thinking it was another fun film... I called her after I finished and told her I was not mentally prepared for that.
Such a beautiful film though...
Toy Story 4. The scene where Woody says goodbye to the rest of the toys and goes off on his new adventure with Bo Peep. Gets me every time.
The original Toy Story was the first movie I remember seeing in a theatre so maybe there's some nostalgia contributing to that.
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?"
Spock: “I have been and always shall be your friend” [dies]
Kirk: “No….”
"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
I found the entire concept, but especially the "happy ending" of Paulie to be tragic and extremely depressing to me.
My mother loved Beaches and Steel Magnolias but they always ruined my day. Then my mother died of cancer and they crossed into the unwatchable list.
