Contact, when she enters the machine.

[–] Truffle@lemmy.ml 1 points 6 minutes ago

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.

[–] MattTheProgrammer@lemmy.world 1 points 47 minutes ago* (last edited 46 minutes ago)

The Wild Robot if you're a parent.

When Pepper tells Tony he can rest.

The end of Onward

Tossing some anime in here:

Anohana Violet Evergarden Fullmetal Alchemist (watch Brotherhood, but the scenes I'm thinking of but even harder in the original)

[–] Drusas@fedia.io 1 points 2 hours ago

When Mufasa dies.

[–] sgibson5150@slrpnk.net 2 points 2 hours ago

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 showWhen Claire is driving away and sees Nate in the rear view 😭

[–] livingcoder@programming.dev 2 points 3 hours ago

I remember Click (2006) being very sad, but I haven't watched it in a long time.

definately honey, I blew everyone. Oh man especially that scener where.......oh wait. tear. tear jerker. my bad.

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 2 points 5 hours ago

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.

[–] atomicorange@lemmy.world 9 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Buffy The Vampire Slayer, “The Body”.

Mom? Mom! Mommy?

[–] Crashumbc@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

Most are giving joke answers.

This one hits hard.

[–] palordrolap@fedia.io 3 points 6 hours ago

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 street performance scene in bocchi the rock, no matter what ill always start crying when i watch it

[–] xmunk@sh.itjust.works 12 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

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.

[–] HeartyOfGlass@lemm.ee 6 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago)

Link for the uninitiated.

"How come he don't want me, man?" And the way Phil grabs him for the hug 😭💔

[–] xmunk@sh.itjust.works 8 points 9 hours ago

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).

[–] Psythik@lemmy.world 3 points 7 hours ago

The ending to that depressing as fuck Speilberg film A.I. Don't ever watch it unless you want to ruin your day.

[–] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 5 points 8 hours ago

"A toast to my big brother George, the richest man in town."

Alternatively:

The scene in Interstellar when he returns from the time dilation to watch like 40 years of updates he missed from his kids.

[–] Amax@lemmy.ca 18 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

What dreams may come, 1998 movie with Robin Williams.

[–] thallamabond@lemmy.world 1 points 7 hours ago

That's a good one, another good Robin Williams is Patch Adams.

[–] Mickey7@lemmy.world 2 points 7 hours ago

THIS scence from "Platoon" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QEv3zzKyiFQ

The music is adagio for strings which has to be the saddest most emotional score ever

[–] xmunk@sh.itjust.works 6 points 9 hours ago

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.

[–] kwedd@feddit.nl 5 points 9 hours ago

The last scene of the last episode of Six Feet Under.

[–] Gerudo@lemm.ee 9 points 11 hours ago

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.

[–] rizo@sh.itjust.works 19 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Grave of the fireflys... Sometimes the trailer is already enough... F*** can't even rewatch the thing...

[–] P1nkman@lemmy.world 2 points 7 hours ago

I watched it once, and cried for two hours. Not going through that again!

[–] Quazatron@lemmy.world 37 points 14 hours ago (3 children)
[–] scops@reddthat.com 6 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Man, worst second date ever. Had no idea what I was walking into in that theater

[–] Quazatron@lemmy.world 5 points 7 hours ago

I took the kids to see some fun animation movie. Got totalled in the first few minutes.

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.

"Duet" gets me too
