Ask Lemmy

The first minutes of Up.

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

Been a while but probably the opening sequence of Up

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

"I have been, and always shall be, your friend."

-Spock, Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan

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

Every. Damn. Time.

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

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

What dreams may come, 1998 movie with Robin Williams.

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?"

"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.

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

"Mom? MOM! ... Mommy?" Tears

Buffy The Vampire Slayer, “The Body”.

Mom? Mom! Mommy?

All those crying Pokemon in the first film when Ash is turned into stone.

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.

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.

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.

Opening for “Up” not in the top comments?

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

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

Alternatively:

"You are who you choose to be."

"Superman."

This scene from Interstellar. I'm thoroughly convinced that it is impossible to get through this movie without getting teary-eyed at least once.

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.

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

"Superman!"

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

General Waverly walks out in uniform to find his old unit waiting for him. (“White Christmas”)

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.

"little soldier boy" episode from Avatar: the last Airbender. Every time.

Les Mis

The ending of that Scrubs episode with Brendan Fraser https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=e__1KU7lg-4

The ending of Jurassic Bark https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=0WBbKSFhw9A

Watching the music video for My Heart Will Go On

The ending of this Cold Case episode https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=jMc_RyGBjBE

The ending of Pan's Labyrinth

The music video for Hozier's Take Me To Church

The liberation of a concentration camp in Band Of Brothers

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

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.

The sequence at the end of the Six Feet Under finale set to Sia's Breathe Me absolutely gutted 2005 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.

Star Trek DS9’s “The Visitor”

First season of After Life by Ricky Gervais.

The scene after where Gervais' character realizes fully what he has done, especially to himself long term, is soul crushing. The i did the right thing, but for all of the right and wrong reasons look on his face is haunting. I think it is the 2nd episode.

A lot of the episodes open with him watching his wife telling him to enjoy life. Her sitting on the hospital bed, on her final days because of cancer.

I've been watching Shrinking and it has a lot of those moments

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.
