What movie or scene from a movie (or show) makes your eyes misty?
Flow. I found the entire movie sad.
“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
Opening for “Up” not in the top comments?
“little soldier boy” episode from Avatar: the last Airbender. Every time.
Leaves from the vine…
The thing is by the time I decide to watch the series again, I always forget exactly where this episode is. Tears every time.

The Iron Giant
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 hated gervais before this, i found his comedy delivery and style very grating but after watching this shoe and getting kicked in the guts every couple episodes i gave him another shot and dont mind him so much now. Show is a 10/10 if you want to sob silently with your partner.
He can be eyerollingly obnoxious. And he is becoming more and more out of touch.
He tends to have a heart and in the right place. His XFM auditions were the greatest proof of this.
S1E3 of Last of Us - “Long, Long Time.” Happy and sad tears galore.
The whole season was great (more than half of the guest actor and actress nominations came from the series), but that may have been the finest hour in television history.
I don’t want to spoil the episode for anyone, but I’ll point out that my ultra-right parents changed their stance on a major social issue after watching it because it was just so beautiful.
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.
Came here for this. When he’s walking with his dad past all the people from his life smiling and saying goodbye, I always get serious feels. Had a little tremor just typing that out!
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.
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 😭
Not a tear jerker for me, but still easily one of the all time best endings for a show. Wonderful montage set to a perfect and beautiful song. After it aired, the next day, people at work were asking me how it ended but not wanting any spoilers. I just told them:
SPOILER
Everyone dies at the end
The Bob’s Burgers episode “The Amazing Rudy” (season 14, episode 2).
Regular-sized Rudy goes out to eat with his divorced parents and their new significant others. It goes horribly wrong and he runs away to the Belchers’. I tear up a little bit even thinking of it because it isn’t played for laughs. I really feel for Rudy, just trying his hardest and putting way too much pressure on himself, and the way Louise steps up for her best friend is just so sweet.
Ibelin. Saw it in the cinema when it first came out, seemed like everybody in the audience was crying.
(It’s about a kid with a degenerative disease who connected with people through an MMO.)
Oh man, I forgot about the bicentennial man 🤖😢
