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 showWhen Claire is driving away and sees Nate in the rear view 😭

Not a tear jerker for me, but still easily one of the all time best endings for a show. Wonderful montage set to a perfect and beautiful song. After it aired, the next day, people at work were asking me how it ended but not wanting any spoilers. I just told them:

SPOILER

Everyone dies at the end

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.

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.

Cinema Paradiso. Wonderful Italian film about a boy’s relationship with an elder in the town as he mentally escapes war torn Sicily. Just wholesome and hits hard. It’s a beautiful story and the soundtrack by Ennio Morricone, ohhhh so good.

I found the entire concept, but especially the "happy ending" of Paulie to be tragic and extremely depressing to me.

My mother loved Beaches and Steel Magnolias but they always ruined my day. Then my mother died of cancer and they crossed into the unwatchable list.

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."

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.

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.

The movie 'About Time'. The ending tore me up.

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

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.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 days 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.

Contact, when she enters the machine.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 days ago

For me, it’s at the end when she looks out of the limo at Joss as he’s saying he believes her. That scene so perfectly captures their relationship to me.
