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

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.”
Why is anything else listed here?
Because the question isn’t, “the most.” And even then, that’s subjective.
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.
“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.
Opening for “Up” not in the top comments?
The original Fresh Prince when Will is desperately trying to convince himself he doesn’t need his dad. Every time.
Link for the uninitiated.
“How come he don’t want me, man?” And the way Phil grabs him for the hug 😭💔
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.
The scene in Interstellar when he returns from the time dilation to watch like 40 years of updates he missed from his kids.
A few episodes of Futurama. You can guess which ones.
Tap for spoiler
Jurassic Bark?
That’s one for sure.
Edit: but not the biggest culprit for me
The one where Nixon’s reelected hits too close to home.
“I have been, and always shall be, your friend.”
-Spock, Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan
“little soldier boy” episode from Avatar: the last Airbender. Every time.
Leaves from the vine…
The thing is by the time I decide to watch the series again, I always forget exactly where this episode is. Tears every time.
Those bastards snuck it into a leisurely story arc, too! It was all “oh the bad guys opened a tea house” and “Aang’s hanging out with the emperor” and then suddenly war trauma.
That show was far better than any marketing made it seem.
The last 15 minutes of “The Return of The King,” starting with, “My friends… You bow to no one.”
Every. Damn. Time.
Yes. Bawling like a baby!
What dreams may come, 1998 movie with Robin Williams.
That’s a good one, another good Robin Williams is Patch Adams.
S1E3 of Last of Us - “Long, Long Time.” Happy and sad tears galore.
The whole season was great (more than half of the guest actor and actress nominations came from the series), but that may have been the finest hour in television history.
I don’t want to spoil the episode for anyone, but I’ll point out that my ultra-right parents changed their stance on a major social issue after watching it because it was just so beautiful.
Buffy The Vampire Slayer, “The Body”.
Mom? Mom! Mommy?
Most are giving joke answers.
This one hits hard.
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?”
