The first minutes of Up.
Man, worst second date ever. Had no idea what I was walking into in that theater
I took the kids to see some fun animation movie. Got totalled in the first few minutes.
"Some dust got in my eye. Here, you can eat my popcorn."

The scene in Interstellar when he returns from the time dilation to watch like 40 years of updates he missed from his kids.
"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.
The original Fresh Prince when Will is desperately trying to convince himself he doesn't need his dad. Every time.
It's funny that for having such a full career I still think Fresh Prince was an absolute masterpiece and unequaled by anything else Will Smith did. (Second place was probably the original Men in Black).
Link for the uninitiated.
"How come he don't want me, man?" And the way Phil grabs him for the hug 😭💔
A few episodes of Futurama. You can guess which ones.
The one where Nixon's reelected hits too close to home.
The last 15 minutes of "The Return of The King," starting with, "My friends... You bow to no one."
Every. Damn. Time.

Been a while but probably the opening sequence of Up
Grave of the fireflies... Sometimes the trailer is already enough... F*** can't even rewatch the thing...

"I have been, and always shall be, your friend."
-Spock, Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan
Opening for “Up” not in the top comments?
Ending of the Sixth Sense.
"Grandma says you asked her a question. She says to tell you the answer is 'every day', what was the question, momma?"
"Did I make you proud?"
Spock: “I have been and always shall be your friend” [dies]
Kirk: “No….”
Buffy the TV show, when she discovers her mother's dead body.
"Mom? MOM! ... Mommy?" Tears

Birdman (with Michael Keaton) - nothing in the actual movie but the absolute soul crushing sadness when I realized that they weren't making a Harvey Birdman Attorney at Law movie.

The Iron Giant
Into the wild when he discovers that human existence isn't meant to be lived in isolation and then dies a few days later in total isolation.
The end of Saving Private Ryan always gets me as well.
A lot of seens in Logan with Professor X. His mental decline was a gut punch because I was watching my grandfather go through the same thing at the same time. His portrayal was spot on.
Happy with Stark's daughter on the porch talking about cheeseburgers. Such a small moment, but so genuine feeling.
"little soldier boy" episode from Avatar: the last Airbender. Every time.

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.
I hated gervais before this, i found his comedy delivery and style very grating but after watching this shoe and getting kicked in the guts every couple episodes i gave him another shot and dont mind him so much now. Show is a 10/10 if you want to sob silently with your partner.
He can be eyerollingly obnoxious. And he is becoming more and more out of touch.
He tends to have a heart and in the right place. His XFM auditions were the greatest proof of this.
All those crying Pokemon in the first film when Ash is turned into stone.

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.

The Bob's Burgers episode "The Amazing Rudy" (season 14, episode 2).
Regular-sized Rudy goes out to eat with his divorced parents and their new significant others. It goes horribly wrong and he runs away to the Belchers'. I tear up a little bit even thinking of it because it isn't played for laughs. I really feel for Rudy, just trying his hardest and putting way too much pressure on himself, and the way Louise steps up for her best friend is just so sweet.
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.
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

"A toast to my big brother George, the richest man in town."
Alternatively:
"You are who you choose to be."
"Superman."
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.
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 😭
