What movie or scene from a movie (or show) makes your eyes 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.

Feeling brave, tried rewatching it and got to the scene with Bingbong and I had to turn that shit right off because I couldn't stop crying. I cry at a lot of things but few movies have ever made me cry as hard as this one.

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.

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.

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."

"It's not your fault" - Good Will Hunting

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

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.

[–] LambdaRX@sh.itjust.works 4 points 3 months ago

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

The intro to the game stray

[–] theedqueen@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

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.

[–] ExtremeDullard@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 3 months 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.

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.)

'Hachi: A Dog's Tale' killed me

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

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

[–] Psythik@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

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

The ending of Watership Down. Can't even think about without getting misty.

[–] livingcoder 3 points 3 months ago (2 children)

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