What movie or scene from a movie (or show) makes your eyes misty?
The first minutes of Up.
Why is anything else listed here?
Because the question isn’t, “the most.” And even then, that’s subjective.
Been a while but probably the opening sequence 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.
Grave of the fireflies… Sometimes the trailer is already enough… F*** can’t even rewatch the thing…
I watched it once, and cried for two hours. Not going through that again!
I always recommend it… But also with the warning: You will only be able to watch it once!
I was looking for the movie when I opened the thread. I remember buying the special edition DVD, watched the movie, and put it away. It broke me, and I’ll never forget it! One of the best movies ever created.
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.
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.
The breaking point for me is when his sister is chewing on the bottons.
“I have been, and always shall be, your friend.”
-Spock, Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan
A few episodes of Futurama. You can guess which ones.
Tap for spoiler
Jurassic Bark?
That’s one for sure.
Edit: but not the biggest culprit for me
Luck of the fryrish always gets me
Philip J. Fry was named after Phil Hartman.
To carry on his spirit.
Yeppp that’s another one
Edit: still not the biggest one for me
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).
The last 15 minutes of “The Return of The King,” starting with, “My friends… You bow to no one.”
Every. Damn. Time.
Yes. Bawling like a baby!
Seen this more times than I can count, and tears every time.
“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.
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?”
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.
You want a tearjerking Michael Keaton movie, watch My Life. Hydrate afterwards, plenty of electrolytes, you’re welcome.
Opening for “Up” not in the top comments?
Spock: “I have been and always shall be your friend” [dies]
Kirk: “No….”
Buffy The Vampire Slayer, “The Body”.
Mom? Mom! Mommy?
Most are giving joke answers.
This one hits hard.
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.
