What movie or scene from a movie (or show) makes your eyes misty?
Silver Linings Playbook. A real tear jurker. The scene at the end.
S1E3 of Last of Us - “Long, Long Time.” Happy and sad tears galore.
“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.
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 Christmas Dinner at the end of “Seven Fishes” Season 2 of The Bear. Cuts a little too much on the dotted line for me.
Paddington 2
Miguel from Coco singning “Remember me” with Coco.
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.
Contact, when she enters the machine.
“Despite knowing the journey and where it leads, I embrace it. And I welcome every moment of it.”
The Wild Robot if you’re a parent.
When Pepper tells Tony he can rest.
The end of Onward
The episode “The Sign” of Bluey, the end.
From Bandit getting that phonecall onwards is all tears.
The sequence at the end of the Six Feet Under finale set to Sia’s Breathe Me absolutely gutted 2005 me.
Spoiler for a twenty year old show
When Claire is driving away and sees Nate in the rear view 😭
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)
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
