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.

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.
Opening for “Up” not in the top comments?
Marley dying at the end of Marley and Me
"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
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.
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."
Silver Linings Playbook. A real tear jurker. The scene at the end.
S1E3 of Last of Us - "Long, Long Time." Happy and sad tears galore.
Contact, when she enters the machine.
They should have sent a poet
Paddington 2
"Superman!"
You stay, I go. No Following.
The episode "The Sign" of Bluey, the end.
For me, it's "Grandad"
From Bandit getting that phonecall onwards is all tears.
I remember Click (2006) being very sad, but I haven't watched it in a long time.
Man that scene when he is screaming at himself while in auto pilot was brutal and gut wrenching
The dad scene killed me
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 😭
"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.
When Pepper tells Tony he can rest.
The end of Onward
Buffy The Vampire Slayer, “The Body”.
Mom? Mom! Mommy?
Most are giving joke answers.
This one hits hard.
The original Fresh Prince when Will is desperately trying to convince himself he doesn't need his dad. Every time.
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).
Link for the uninitiated.
"How come he don't want me, man?" And the way Phil grabs him for the hug 😭💔
The scene in Interstellar when he returns from the time dilation to watch like 40 years of updates he missed from his kids.
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)
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."
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.

Can’t watch it for some reason. Is it the scene where he sees his kids’ videos after losing time on the water planet?
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!
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.
When Mufasa dies.
"A toast to my big brother George, the richest man in town."
Alternatively:
"You are who you choose to be."
"Superman."
Grave of the fireflys... Sometimes the trailer is already enough... F*** can't even rewatch the thing...
I watched it once and didn't cry but I must've been dissociated AF or something because I don't remember any of it.
I’ve never seen the movie. Reading the summary was enough to mess me up. I don’t think I’ll ever be able to watch it.
