What movie or scene from a movie (or show) makes your eyes misty?
“little soldier boy” episode from Avatar: the last Airbender. Every time.
Leaves from the vine…
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.
“You could never just do the expected, I was just an idea in a bog, But you sewed up your dream and we made quite a team, Jim and Kermit, a boy and his frog.”
- Tom Smith - A Boy and His Frog
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.
Opening for “Up” not in the top comments?
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.
The intro to the game stray
“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
Marley dying at the end of Marley and Me
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!
One that comes to mind is Mike from Better Call Saul: “I broke my boy. I broke my boy.”
S1E3 of Last of Us - “Long, Long Time.” Happy and sad tears galore.
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.”
