Toy Story 4. The scene where Woody says goodbye to the rest of the toys and goes off on his new adventure with Bo Peep. Gets me every time.

The original Toy Story was the first movie I remember seeing in a theatre so maybe there's some nostalgia contributing to that.

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

[–] otter@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 4 days ago

Yeah, I don't know which is more effective at catching me off-guard with shit I've not thought about in decades: Shrinking or The Bear. 😅

[–] livingcoder@programming.dev 3 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I remember Click (2006) being very sad, but I haven't watched it in a long time.

Man that scene when he is screaming at himself while in auto pilot was brutal and gut wrenching

The dad scene killed me

[–] VicVinegar@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago

I have become this dad. I think about these scenes often. It helps me remember and realign my priorities. I guess it's corny, but the message is valid and important.

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

One that comes to mind is Mike from Better Call Saul: "I broke my boy. I broke my boy."

The ending to that depressing as fuck Speilberg film A.I. Don't ever watch it unless you want to ruin your day.

[–] Shardikprime@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

Man I had forgotten about A.i.

Poor dude waited until the end of time to have his wish granted

THIS scence from "Platoon" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QEv3zzKyiFQ

The music is adagio for strings which has to be the saddest most emotional score ever

Ernest Goes to Camp, when the kids pick on him and reject him. He sings the song “All I Needed Was a Friend”. No joke, shit hits hard

[–] LambdaRX@sh.itjust.works 4 points 4 days ago

"A dog's purpose" movie's main purpose was to be tear jerker.

[–] ExtremeDullard@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 4 days ago (1 children)

It's not a movie, it's an old avertisement, and I guarantee you if it doesn't stir something in you, you're not human:

That crash was so cartoonish, I couldn't help but laugh at that.

My Life with Michael Keaton and Nicole what’s her name

[–] radicalautonomy@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago

This is the top of the list. Nothing else comes close when you need a really good and sincere cry.

[–] Free_Opinions@feddit.uk 2 points 4 days ago

The fault in our stars was so sad I wish I hadn't ever watched it. I hate that movie.

[–] squid_slime@lemm.ee 1 points 3 days ago

Silver Linings Playbook. A real tear jurker. The scene at the end.

[–] Adm_Drummer@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago

The Christmas Dinner at the end of "Seven Fishes" Season 2 of The Bear. Cuts a little too much on the dotted line for me.

Tossing some anime in here:

Anohana Violet Evergarden Fullmetal Alchemist (watch Brotherhood, but the scenes I'm thinking of but even harder in the original)

[–] Jyek@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

You want some ugly crying anime time? Grave of the fireflies. The saddest movie studio Ghibli ever produced. If you don't cry you might want to see a therapist. It's what I show everyone who has ever told me "I don't cry at movies."
