Ask Lemmy

"Superman!"

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

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.

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

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

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

Alternatively:

"You are who you choose to be."

"Superman."

The movie 'About Time'. The ending tore me up.

The intro to the game stray

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.

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

The sinking of the Going Merry. Oda made me cry for a boat, and I'm not even joking.

Star Trek DS9’s “The Visitor”

The episode "The Sign" of Bluey, the end.

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."

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

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

Magnolia by Paul Thomas Anderson. The whole movie is pretty emotional but the scene where Tom Cruise's character confronts his absentee father on his death bed absolutely destroys me.

One of my all time favorite movies, but I gotta be ready to full on cry if I want to watch it.

When Rudy's dad tears up seeing his son on the field

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.

So I don't get to the cinema much, but I got to see The Muppets when it came out (over a decade ago, good grief), and Kermit singing Pictures In My Head totally broke me.

Dunno whether it will work for anyone else, but like many of a certain age, I grew up with the original Muppet Show on TV and it hit too damn hard.

Inside Out

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

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.

Les Mis

The ending of Pan's Labyrinth

The scene at the end of About Time between the father and son. I won't describe it, since I don't want to ruin it for anyone.
