Marley dying at the end of Marley and Me

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 1 points 41 minutes ago

One that comes to mind is Mike from Better Call Saul: "I broke my boy. I broke my boy."

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.

Miguel from Coco singning "Remember me" with Coco.

[–] JakenVeina@lemm.ee 3 points 4 hours ago

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."

[–] Truffle@lemmy.ml 4 points 4 hours 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.

[–] squid_slime@lemm.ee 1 points 3 hours ago

Silver Linings Playbook. A real tear jurker. The scene at the end.

[–] Rezurektme@lemmy.world 1 points 3 hours ago

S1E3 of Last of Us - "Long, Long Time." Happy and sad tears galore.

[–] Shardikprime@lemmy.world 1 points 4 hours ago

Paddington 2

Contact, when she enters the machine.

The episode "The Sign" of Bluey, the end.

[–] LoganNineFingers@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 hours ago

For me, it's "Grandad"

[–] statler_waldorf@sopuli.xyz 2 points 7 hours ago

From Bandit getting that phonecall onwards is all tears.

"Despite knowing the journey and where it leads, I embrace it. And I welcome every moment of it."

The Wild Robot if you're a parent.

The Christmas Dinner at the end of "Seven Fishes" Season 2 of The Bear. Cuts a little too much on the dotted line for me.

[–] sgibson5150@slrpnk.net 2 points 7 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 3 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] Shardikprime@lemmy.world 2 points 4 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours ago)

Man that scene when he is screaming at himself while in auto pilot was brutal and gut wrenching

The dad scene killed me

[–] brown567@sh.itjust.works 1 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

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)

[–] Jyek@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 hour ago

You want some ugly crying anime time? Grave of the fireflies. The saddest movie studio Ghibli ever produced. If you don't cry you might want to see a therapist. It's what I show everyone who has ever told me "I don't cry at movies."

[–] Drusas@fedia.io 1 points 6 hours ago

When Mufasa dies.

[–] atomicorange@lemmy.world 12 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Buffy The Vampire Slayer, “The Body”.

Mom? Mom! Mommy?

[–] Crashumbc@lemmy.world 2 points 6 hours ago

Most are giving joke answers.

This one hits hard.

[–] AgentGrimstone@lemmy.world 21 points 15 hours ago* (last edited 15 hours ago) (2 children)

The original Fresh Prince when Will is desperately trying to convince himself he doesn't need his dad. Every time.

[–] HeartyOfGlass@lemm.ee 8 points 13 hours ago* (last edited 13 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 11 points 14 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).

[–] Corno@lemm.ee 7 points 12 hours ago (1 children)
[–] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

Can’t watch it for some reason. Is it the scene where he sees his kids’ videos after losing time on the water planet?

[–] Corno@lemm.ee 1 points 24 minutes ago* (last edited 23 minutes ago)

It's the one that happens later on in the movie towards the end, though the first scene you mentioned is definitely one that still gets me teary eyed!

[–] HubertManne@moist.catsweat.com 2 points 9 hours ago

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

[–] Sterile_Technique@lemmy.world 28 points 16 hours ago

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

[–] xmunk@sh.itjust.works 13 points 14 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.

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

Alternatively:

"You are who you choose to be."

"Superman."

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 3 points 10 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.

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

The last 15 minutes of "The Return of The King," starting with, "My friends... You bow to no one."

Every. Damn. Time.

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.
