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.
Oh man, I forgot about the bicentennial man 🤖😢
Star wars; the last Jedi

"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.
Opening for “Up” not in the top comments?
"little soldier boy" episode from Avatar: the last Airbender. Every time.
The scene in Interstellar when he returns from the time dilation to watch like 40 years of updates he missed from his kids.
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.)
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).
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.
ANY time any dog dies.
'Hachi: A Dog's Tale' killed me
Grave of the fireflies... Sometimes the trailer is already enough... F*** can't even rewatch the thing...
The last 15 minutes of "The Return of The King," starting with, "My friends... You bow to no one."
Every. Damn. Time.
"I have been, and always shall be, your friend."
-Spock, Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan
Been a while but probably the opening sequence of Up
Not a movie, but has anybody here seen the anime Anohana. If you can watch that and not cry in every episode, you're a bonafide sociopath.
The ending of Watership Down. Can't even think about without getting misty.
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 last part of AI (2001)
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?"
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.
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.
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.
Buffy the TV show, when she discovers her mother's dead body.
"Mom? MOM! ... Mommy?" Tears
Spock: “I have been and always shall be your friend” [dies]
Kirk: “No….”
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.
