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.

[–] palordrolap@fedia.io 3 points 12 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 last scene of the last episode of Six Feet Under.

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

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.

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?"

Buffy the TV show, when she discovers her mother's dead body.

She looked so lost, it hit me like a gut punch

[–] cybervseas@lemmy.world 28 points 21 hours ago (2 children)

A few episodes of Futurama. You can guess which ones.

[–] slazer2au@lemmy.world 12 points 21 hours ago (2 children)

Tap for spoilerJurassic Bark?

[–] Nollij@sopuli.xyz 3 points 15 hours ago

This one gets easier when you remember that they retconned it later.

[–] cybervseas@lemmy.world 6 points 21 hours ago* (last edited 21 hours ago) (1 children)

That's one for sure.

Edit: but not the biggest culprit for me

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.

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.

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.

[–] andrew_s@piefed.social 7 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

I cry quite easily, so a small sample of films that have made my eyes misty are:

The Remarkable Life of Ibelin
Bridge to Terabithia
A Monster Calls

[–] Toes@ani.social 6 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

+1 for bridge to terabithia. That movie still chokes me up.

[–] tacosanonymous@lemm.ee 3 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

I was older and had never read the book. I was not prepared for that turn.

[–] Toes@ani.social 1 points 14 hours ago

Yeah, I had no idea going into that movie. Almost all the movies AnnaSophia stars in are like that to my surprise.

[–] DirigibleProtein@aussie.zone 2 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

My Life with Michael Keaton and Nicole what’s her name

[–] radicalautonomy@lemmy.world 2 points 14 hours ago

This is the top of the list. Nothing else comes close when you need a really good and sincere cry.

[–] JoeKrogan@lemmy.world 5 points 19 hours ago* (last edited 19 hours ago)
[–] Vinny_93@lemmy.world 7 points 21 hours ago

Another one is the movie 'The Fountain' which is played excellently by Hugh Jackman.

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
