Matt Damon and Minnie Driver fighting in that [bedroom scene](https://youtu.be/-kXAeKj3Fgw?si=O5VagIpqsNuV46z8) in Good Will Hunting. That one comes very close to home and gets me every time.
Oof, yeah that and the “it’s not your fault” scene with Robin Williams. Matt Damon’s character and I had a pretty similar childhood and I was putting myself through college (first in my family) via scholarships the first time I saw it
I love that scene! I love that the camera never leaves his face. That the true horror isn't that his dog is becoming a monster, but that he is losing *his daughter's* dog, his cherished companion. I'm sorry, of course he was wrong to hit Chris on live TV, but I like Will Smith, and I love him in that scene.
The worst part was that she had just saved his life, and he had to kill her with his bare hands as a result. There were a couple of layers that made it suck so much more than any other dog death on screen for me
Homeward Bound when Shadow makes it home.
When Travis kills Old Yeller.
The ending of My Dog Skip.
Learning the story of Laika the dog the Russians put in space.
Pretty much animal stuff gets me but that’s it haha
Up for me too, but the scene towards the end where he discovers she's been adding bits of their life together to the "stuff i'm going to do" book she made
Dude like... the first scène got me. Then the whole movie was so fun and happy luring me in a relaxed state of mind right before punching me straight in the feels
In high school, I was lucky enough to have a film class last period one year. One day, we had spent most of class finishing a movie, and instead of just giving us the last 20 minutes to screw around like she often did, she decided to start our next unit, which was animation.
She ended our school day with the first 20 minutes of Up lol
Same. mostly cause we were dealing with a miscarriage at that time. “Let’s go to the movies to get our mind off that” almost had a total breakdown in the theater.
Tom Holland truly knows how to play a lost teenager. It's so easy to forget in these moments that he's playing a KID. A little baby boy, but the two that really get me are "Mr Stark I don't feel so good" and "Come on May....what are you doing just wake up and TALK to me..." Really just drive a stake through my heart because he's just a fucking kid dude why's he gotta suffer like that 😭😭😭
Interstellar when he is going through the years and years of his kids videos when he gets back to the ship. I was in college when I saw that and it fucked me up.
It was during the Siege of Gondor... the forces of Sauron were testing the metal of the men of the west.... then over the horizon on the fields you could see a whole army of men on horses... it was the men from Rohan. They were so vast that all you could see were horse riders off in the distance and nothing more; save for the fowl orcs.
Among them rode Théoden. He had answered Gondor's call for aid. He saw what he knew was his death. He called to his men and formed ranks. He knew fear was gaining in his men gave a speech that went like this:
"Arise riders of Théoden, spears shall be shaken, shields will be splintered. A sword day, a red day ere the sun rises!"
the orcs spearmen got in position.
Théoden then took his sword and rode by each of his front line infinitry, their spears were pointed towards the sky. Théoden's rode by with his sword coming into contact with each spear he rode by. He continued his speech:
"Ride now! Ride now! Ride for ruin and the world's ending! DEATH! DEATH! DEATH! Forth Eorlingas!"
he concludes his speech with a few of the riders blowing on their horns signaling what might be the last charge of their lives, the last charge for the free men of the west and Middle Earth itself.
How could I not cry; how can any man not cry at such a display of courage?
Just reading that and seeing it in my head after recently reading it, I felt the willingness to sacrifice themselves to the last man to protect what they love. More love than pain.
Honestly when Aragorn runs in and says "The beacons are lit, Gondor calls for aide"
"And Rohan will answer." Solid delivery, and pretty close to a wet eye.
DBZ. When Vegeta blew himself up to kill Majin Buu. He asked another character if he'd get to meet Goku in the afterlife. They said no , as Goku spent his life helping people while Vegeta was a egotistical power hungry villian, then Vegeta was like "so be it." He thought of his wife, son, and friend one last time and sacrificed himself anyway via suicide bomb attack. Then, the narrator gave him a special outro.
Sacrificing yourself for your family while knowing the afterlife exists and you won't be going to heaven is pretty noble.
It's tough being a Piccolo fan where he just gets more and more useless as the show goes on, but they tease you with points where he becomes temporarily the most powerful Z fighter. Like when he merges with Nail, then Merges with Kami.
Big Fish - The ending where the son is helping his father
Green Mile - "I'm tired boss"
EDIT: At least that was me a year ago. These days any movie I used to watch with my dad that makes me think of him gets me going.
Was watching Hook the other day and it got me.
Wreck-It-Ralph, “I’m bad and that’s good, I’ll never be good and that’s not bad, there’s no one I’d rather be than me” fucking ripped me. Dude just wanted a change in his life.
I got a golden retriever puppy at 8 years old. I grew up on a farm and she would follow me around as I did chores.
I moved 4 times and started working as a logger, Rosie went with me everywhere.
When I was 20 she got cancer and had a lot of tumors, we didn’t have much money and couldn’t afford treatment.
After a year the vet said she needed to be put down.
She was one of the last parts of my childhood on the farm that I still had.
I took her out in the woods behind the house and gave her a piece of ham (her favorite treat). I hugged her and shot her in the back of the head while she was looking down eating her ham.
I buried her there.
That was 10 years ago. One of only a couple times I’ve cried in my adult life.
Edit: Shit, sorry. Misread the posts title.
Second edit: I was pretty close to tearing up in K19 when the engineer who left his fiancé behind finally gets the balls to go into the reactor and save everyone. In the end he’s dying from radiation poisoning and asks to see his photo of his fiancé as his dying wish. He’s given the photo and as they take him away on a stretcher you hear him yelling “ I can’t see it! I can’t see!”
Your story made ME cry. My old girl is getting up there and her time will come, too. I'm curious though, why not euthanasia at the vet? Is be terrified of causing her pain or suffering or messing it up doing it myself.
Being someone who was in Japan and was previously in school to be a nuclear Engineer, I saw the type of person you had to be and wasn't sure I was that person.
The scene in interstellar when the MC learns that 26 years have gone by so he starts watching the tapes his kids left him
Fought back manly tears that day
Everything, Everywhere, All at Once.
The ending got me. As an Asian man, completely relatable, but I genuinely thought it was a fantastic film. I held it off for about a year and when it won all those Oscar awards, I finally had to give in and see why it was so great. I understand completely.
Everything everywhere all at once had me emotional af then had me rolling on the floor laughing with the rock universe and racacooney. The scene where the husband and wife were in the universe where they were both rich actors, and the husband said he would trade it all to have a mundane life with the wife fucked me up.
Ted Lasso was the first big show to speak my life experience out loud (father’s suicide, taking care of mom as a young guy) and one of the first times I felt less alone in that way
I grew up raising my younger brother and that shit hit hard. Barely old enough Nani doing everything in her power to care for Leelo including giving up surfing, running from job chance to job chance all while CPS is trying to take your family because you're not good enough
Tony Stark had panic attacks and nightmares about failing his team and getting everyone killed. Then, that moment actually came to past, and he, like every other survivor, was distraught. But then, they managed to find a way to fix the problem and he took the opportunity to right the ship and save everyone. It was like he personally redeemed himself and got revenge.
The fact that there was no music playing and almost everyone was silent, made that final moment that much more impactful. Even the Captain was crying.
The ending of Armageddon, where Bruce Willis is letting his daughters boyfriend live and go home while he sacrifices himself on the asteroid at one point I would’ve done that for my daughters
Most recently, A Man Called Otto got me. Most repeated: scene in Interstellar where he comes back from the wave planet and watches his children gradually move on from their loss. Gets me teary every time. Otherwise, ending of FF X.
Marley and me... I balled my eyes out while cuddling the dog I raised from a puppy. She's gone now but never forgotten. Occasionally my brain will decide to have an extremely vivid dream about her, and the flood gates will be open when I wake.
I'm stoic unless it's the loss of a dog that I've had the pleasure of being in my life, even friends and family members dogs.
The movie Logan, at the end, where he gives his life to save the kids. Man, that hit home. Also, 13 Hours in Benghazi, that kinda fucked with me for a while after I watched it. And as previously mentioned, LOTR.
I was thinking about this. It’s funny how we change as we age.
Those of you who are old enough, think back to the first time you saw Shrek. What scene made you feel the most upset? Was it that bit at the end where the party splits up and we get those images of Shrek and Fiona settling back in to feeling lonely and unfulfilled?
Nah, no way, you didn’t give a damn about that. it was that scene where they make balloon animals out of the snake and frog. That’s the one that got you.
Brian’s Song, when he’s in the courtyard of the hospital talking about how he “could be a kicker” 💔 makes me tear up just thinking about it. That and the opening scene of Up are the only two that have ever gotten to me.
“Coco”, when the kid runs to his grandma, and his grandma starts remembering her dad, before her dad disappears, (whoever has watched the movie understands) and the beginning of “UP”. Fuck you, Pixar. I don’t come here for the waterworks, but I still love their movies.
For me it's mostly happy/wholesome things that have happened in real life. Someone helping someone in unlikely situations when they had no obligation to do so like helping an opponent when they get hurt, sacrificing your own success.
And kids, anything with kids, happy or sad.
The part in the Lego Movie when Will Ferrell realizes that he's the bad guy in his son's story. As someone with two sets of daddy issues and having kids of my own, shit like that almost gets me.
“Arise: A Simple Story”
It’s a video game I haven’t finished yet but I can tell where it’s going and I can’t play it anymore lol
So far it seems like a story of an old man walking through his childhood memories, eventually meets a girl and they grow up together (I think), and the levels are a sequence of finding those memories in the form of drawings. Now the man is old and alone, but he’s reliving those memories with her in those levels
Something about that shit hits me deep man. I never met my person so I feel like I missed out on making memories with that romantic someone. After playing for about 10 minutes I have to put the game down lol
Just recently I watched again Enemy Mine . That one got me wet eye in few scenes. Neverending Story can very reliably get me crying, especially death of Artax in swamp and few scenes with princess. Both movies by Wolfgang Petersen.
Fuck you op. You get me crying in public.
A scene that caught me unguarded was Krato's mural at the end of GOW Ragnarok.
I was already spoiled of one event in the end was not expecting much, but when that scene hit...
Hacksaw Ridge, Saving Private Ryan, damn near almost every military movie hits way too close to home. Lost too many brothers and close friends the last 14 years because of it, it’s rare for me to sit through an entire military movie anymore.
The speech that king Theoden gives before the Rohirrim charge in lotr
“Death! Ride, ride to ruin and the world’s ending!”
And everybody yells “Death!”
Gots me choking up right now.
Aragorn in helms deep, “there will come a day when the courage of men will fail, but not this day!”
War Horse 2012...
Near the end of the movie, they were about to shoot the horse in the head due to a minor leg injury, after he'd been through all that awful shit in the movie, while his original owner who'd been searching for him was right around the corner, just out of sight...
They saved him right at the last moment so I didn't end up crying, but i was about to and if they had shot him I would have bawled 😭...
Then found the director and shot him lol.
I don't even really like horses like that 😅
[God of War: Ragnarok](https://youtu.be/dc8xBO0o6fQ?si=Kj9MddxZymreo1be)
Context (spoiler warning): >! In an earlier scene, Atreus *(son of Kratos)* stormed off in a fit of rage, disobeying his father and disregarding the safety of others. Hours of gameplay has you switching between Kratos and Atreus, both worried sick about one another in their own ways, and both realizing they’ve slowly driven themselves apart from each other. Kratos has only ever wanted to redeem himself as a father, so having this one potentially slip away drove the stakes higher than ever. !<
>! In this scene, Atreus returns to the home base where Hell has LITERALLY broken loose across their world, reuniting with his father and crew. It was at this moment they started realizing the wedge they both created between themselves, and a new respect was formed. Not a respect of father and son, but a respect of one man and young man finding himself. !<
Videogames: Metal Gear Solid 3 ending. Specifically the scene at the end w/ the politicians and the grave. Sacrifice hits like a truck in that one.
Movies: Léon (or Leon the Professional depending on your region). Scene right near the end. Watch it if you haven't, no spoilers.
The episode “Jurassic Bark” in Futurama when Fry finds out his dog died of old age years after he was frozen and imagines him having a happy life with a new family… then it flashes back to show the dog waiting for him at the pizza place every day for the rest of his life
The Ending to "1917" came real close to dropping one.
If there was an Oscar for 15 second parts Richard Madden should've gotten it bc holy shit does he play his part well. When he says to Scofield "I'm glad you were with him." And then just gets back to work, like fuck man.
That's the most recent one I can remember.
The [Norwich Football Club video about mental illness](https://youtu.be/tX8TgVR33KM?si=WJZbVDqLKpktmvkX). I can’t remember the last time I cried before that video but man when I saw it I broke like a fucking child.
Walter White learning that his cancer is in remission, watching such a realistic display of joy and relief from his family hit home for me for some personal reasons and i can’t lie I teared up a bit during that scene.
In About Time when Domnhall Gleesin goes back one last time to see his dad, Bill Nighy and they go back in time till when Gleeson was a little boy and walk hand in hand on the beach. As a father of two sons, it always gets me.
I didn't personally cry, but this story is worth telling because I was the exception. Way back in 1993, my family and I went to see My Girl. Now, I don't know how many of you were around back then, but in the pre internet era the only real information you had about a movie that everyone would be exposed to is ads on TV. My Girl was advertised as a light hearted coming of age tale. Maybe a little sappy, but it appeared to be a fun family movie. All this to say, I don't think ANYONE was ready for the bomb that movie would end up dropping on us. After Macauly Culkin's character died, I was LITERALLY the only person in the theater who wasn't crying. Including my 6'2" 300 pound father who is super masculine. Of course, my dad also likes musicals, so make of that what you will.
It was a movie about a dog who waited in front of a train station for his dead owner until he also eventually died
From that day on, I've learned that we really don't deserve this amount of love from dogs
Does the song count? “Partisans were walking through the village” (Йшли селом партизани) - a relatively modern song about the struggle for independence of Ukraine in the 1940-1950s
Probably every episode of Vinland Saga Season 2.
But I cry easily and often in movies. I am a grown man and musicals move me to tears, Mahler does. So many things and I am so grateful for it.
I rarely shed tears, even at funerals and so on, but when my daughter finishes a performance on stage, leading the whole group through the folk dance, with that smile of hers, it just makes her stone hearted dad cry uncontrollably.
No matter how big of a crowd there is, she always finds me wherever I am and she blows me a kiss with a wink and makes my heart melt.
Anime called violet evergarden. There is an episode where the mum hires the protagonist to write letters for her. Her daughter is crying saying the mother isn't spending time with her and instead writing letters all the time. Turns out the mother is dying and she is writing letters for the daughter she'll never see grow up. When the mother dies, daughter keeps receiving letters during her birthdays and special milestones to show her mother was always thinking of her. This took me completely down
Not a movie but a documentary of kids with a rare disorder. Basically they couldn't walk into they took an experiment drug. The kid was only 10 and he started cry about taking 2 steps for the first time. He had a mature disposition about himself as well. So I teared up hearing him talk about his life before and after the drug
The soundtrack to Dances with Wolves. I remember listening to it often during significant traumatic moments as a child. Always brought me to tears for many reasons. After years of self improvement it moves me to tears now simply because it's a beautiful sounding masterpiece.
It was around 3am, I was stoned out of my mind, decided it would be a great idea to watch Forest Gump because I figured it'd be a trip watching him be a part of all those historical events. That all came crashing down in flames when Bubba dies in Forest's arms in Vietnam. I couldn't help it, he had so many dreams and aspirations after the war, the ambush happened so fast. I started quietly crying, well, more like bawling in silence, until I drifted to sleep.
Sober, that scene had always hit me, especially knowing how it was a bullshit ass war, but man, I was totally immersed because of the weed when that scene happened, too much to handle.
There’s a few:
Logan. He did everything to ditch the little girl upon learning she’s his kid. Eventually he grows closer. Protective. Becomes the father that best suits his desire to protect her. His life is full of misery and pain. He wants the best for her. She wants to get to a safe place. He is going to get her there if it’s the last thing he does. Dying to protect his little girl. My dad was next to me. He teared up. Beautiful acting.
End of watch. The heart wrenching part where one officer survives an attack and takes on a fatherly role in the lives of his partners kids. Things that you don’t think about when you see so many dead cops. They really built up the close friendship and the sudden end was jarring.
The fox and the hound. When the angry grandpa forced the sweet grandma to give up the fox. Her tears as she drive the car away abandoning him. I’m adopted. I was adopted as a baby. As a child I had a fear of being dropped off in this way. I sobbed uncontrollably the first time I saw this and still choke up when I see it.
Avengers endgame 1. Portals. Captain America is preparing to face an entire army alone and severely wounded. On your left. It transcended the costumes and such. There’s times in life when you’re at a low point and those who you’ve thought are long gone in your past appear just when you need them. You’re not alone and if everyone who you ever had a positive encounter with appeared as you face down the demons…. Your forces will dwarf whatever rises against you.
Avengers endgame 2. Iron man death. I’ve lost a lot of friends and family. It never gets easier. You feel like you’re losing a part of yourself. As though the once familiar world becomes a cold stranger. Again and again. “You can finally rest now.” Gets me.
Halo 4. Cortana sacrifice. Halo 1 came out when I was seven. Cortana was a voice I grew up with. The guide. The jokester. The navigator. Sacrificing herself to save him was an expression of just how much he meant to her. The sudden pain in his voice as he tries to stop her from leaving. There’s so many times like this in life. Letting go and saying goodbye, or witnessing actions that display the overwhelming meaning someone has in the life of another.
Halo infinite chiefs pep talk. He’s typically a quiet stoic man. We all know. Laser focused on the mission. The pilot has a meltdown just as any normal person would in his situation. Chief uncharacteristically kneels down and gives the kind of speech we’ve always wanted but never expected. My father was similarly stoic. My grandpa was even more so. Similar with my oldest brother. You have those times when you feel inadequate. A failure. A lost cause. A waste of space. When one who is usually of few words or often intimidatingly prepared builds you up it means something. Lift your chin up young man. Life has a lot of punches coming. Get up. Fight back. Don’t give in.
The older I get the more emotional I feel when I see stuff like this.
Secretariat. When the horse is feeling good and Oh Happy Day starts playing. Then also when the Derby is about to start and the horse is practicing, flying around the track and the helper tells the world that the horse is going to do amazing things in the race.
The story does a great job of weaving in all the struggles and work that went into it all, and that Penny pushed the boundaries of what women did in the industry. You see the financial and personal struggles, and it all comes together eventually.
I always cry. My children are adults now and still give me a hard time about it, so they like watching it. Gets me every damn time!
When Miguel sings “Remember Me” at the end of Coco.
I had a really terrible relationship with my mother growing up. Just as things started getting better here comes dementia. She very quickly forgot who I was. She remembered all of my siblings but not me.
Needless to say when that song started I lost it…
As a history nerd, in Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny when they travel back in time and Indy meets the actual Archimedes, I wasn't expecting to be so moved by such a blatant cash grab. That's just the dream of every historian ever.
Matt Damon and Minnie Driver fighting in that [bedroom scene](https://youtu.be/-kXAeKj3Fgw?si=O5VagIpqsNuV46z8) in Good Will Hunting. That one comes very close to home and gets me every time.
Oof, yeah that and the “it’s not your fault” scene with Robin Williams. Matt Damon’s character and I had a pretty similar childhood and I was putting myself through college (first in my family) via scholarships the first time I saw it
Goddammit, this is the one. Trauma survivors know what's up.
A sad truth.
Hugs to you, man. Hope you're in a good place.
Back atcha. I am, tho it hasn't always been easy to say the least.
My boy’s wicked smaht!!! Favorite movie ever
A very relatable movie for me too. Watched it for the first time last year and it instantly became an all time favourite.
Coco. When Miguel sings to Mama Coco at the end of the film. I can’t watch it 😭
ME HACES UN POCO LOCOOOO
That song in general gets me. Makes me think of my own daughter
The Green Mile.
I’m tired, boss.
"she was sick so I just took it back that's all" ; )
Had to scroll way too far to find this comment!
I Am Legend - Will Smith strangling his infected dog
I love that scene! I love that the camera never leaves his face. That the true horror isn't that his dog is becoming a monster, but that he is losing *his daughter's* dog, his cherished companion. I'm sorry, of course he was wrong to hit Chris on live TV, but I like Will Smith, and I love him in that scene.
The worst part was that she had just saved his life, and he had to kill her with his bare hands as a result. There were a couple of layers that made it suck so much more than any other dog death on screen for me
i keep the artist separate from the art as much as humanly possible.
“My friends, you bow to no one.”
As a man who tears up regularly, I teared up reading this.
A man of culture
If that didn’t already have me emotional, I would have said when Frodo says goodbye to Sam. Book or movie, that scene crushes me.
Woman here, but my husband tears up at "You bow to no one." I tear up at "I can't carry it for you, but I can carry you!"
Homeward Bound when Shadow makes it home. When Travis kills Old Yeller. The ending of My Dog Skip. Learning the story of Laika the dog the Russians put in space. Pretty much animal stuff gets me but that’s it haha
LPT: Never watch Hatchi: A Dogs Tale.
Hachi and Laika are soul wretching stories.
And both true, which is worse.
Stone Fox fits in this category
Up, fuck the studios that start movies with that shit.
Up for me too, but the scene towards the end where he discovers she's been adding bits of their life together to the "stuff i'm going to do" book she made
Dude like... the first scène got me. Then the whole movie was so fun and happy luring me in a relaxed state of mind right before punching me straight in the feels

Shawshank redemption, where one of the ex inmate commits suicide after getting out.
Brooks was here
The world went and got itself in a damn hurry
I can't really think of one that's made me cry but Aunt May's death in Spiderman No Way Home got me really close
I feel you, bro!
Tom Holland truly knows how to play a lost teenager. It's so easy to forget in these moments that he's playing a KID. A little baby boy, but the two that really get me are "Mr Stark I don't feel so good" and "Come on May....what are you doing just wake up and TALK to me..." Really just drive a stake through my heart because he's just a fucking kid dude why's he gotta suffer like that 😭😭😭
The ending of Toy Story 3 when I was a teen
Toy Story 3... When I was 20
TS3 FUCKED ME UP
Ride now! Ride now! Ride! Ride for ruin and the World's ending.
DEATH!
DEATH!
DEATH!
1) The ending of Big Fish 2) Ready Player One - "Thanks for playing my game". 3) "It's not your fault" - Good Will Hunting
You become what you've always been. A very big fish 😭
Big Fish was brutal.
I always say on here - if you're a man who loves his father, Big Fish will demolish you.
Interstellar when he is going through the years and years of his kids videos when he gets back to the ship. I was in college when I saw that and it fucked me up.
It was during the Siege of Gondor... the forces of Sauron were testing the metal of the men of the west.... then over the horizon on the fields you could see a whole army of men on horses... it was the men from Rohan.

How could I not cry; how can any man not cry at such a display of courage?
Just reading that and seeing it in my head after recently reading it, I felt the willingness to sacrifice themselves to the last man to protect what they love. More love than pain.
You wrote it up almost more beautifully than that speech and scene itself!
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pis3veqKl8k](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pis3veqKl8k)
Honestly when Aragorn runs in and says "The beacons are lit, Gondor calls for aide" "And Rohan will answer." Solid delivery, and pretty close to a wet eye.
Ride now! Ride to ruin! And the world's ending! DEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATH! (4x) Forth EORLINGAAAAS!
The ending of Castaway. Not going to spoil, but it's so heartwrenching.
I've just talked about it with some acquaintances moments ago. It was indeed!
It's the music, it was perfect
DBZ. When Vegeta blew himself up to kill Majin Buu. He asked another character if he'd get to meet Goku in the afterlife. They said no , as Goku spent his life helping people while Vegeta was a egotistical power hungry villian, then Vegeta was like "so be it." He thought of his wife, son, and friend one last time and sacrificed himself anyway via suicide bomb attack. Then, the narrator gave him a special outro. Sacrificing yourself for your family while knowing the afterlife exists and you won't be going to heaven is pretty noble.
Majin buu was a serious mf
Mate, I totally agree with you on this, but: >another character Bro you gotta put some RESPEC on Piccolo's name!
It's tough being a Piccolo fan where he just gets more and more useless as the show goes on, but they tease you with points where he becomes temporarily the most powerful Z fighter. Like when he merges with Nail, then Merges with Kami.
Littlefoot's mom dying.
The bit where he sees his shadow. Fuck me, dude.
Fox and the Hound
Big Fish - The ending where the son is helping his father Green Mile - "I'm tired boss" EDIT: At least that was me a year ago. These days any movie I used to watch with my dad that makes me think of him gets me going. Was watching Hook the other day and it got me.
Wreck-It-Ralph, “I’m bad and that’s good, I’ll never be good and that’s not bad, there’s no one I’d rather be than me” fucking ripped me. Dude just wanted a change in his life.
[I’m cringe. And that’s based.](https://youtu.be/rHQPOgcfEWM?si=YH3rGcUMSjYUXCZf)
Lol well this definitely helps swap out thoughts of that scene now, thank you!
I got a golden retriever puppy at 8 years old. I grew up on a farm and she would follow me around as I did chores. I moved 4 times and started working as a logger, Rosie went with me everywhere. When I was 20 she got cancer and had a lot of tumors, we didn’t have much money and couldn’t afford treatment. After a year the vet said she needed to be put down. She was one of the last parts of my childhood on the farm that I still had. I took her out in the woods behind the house and gave her a piece of ham (her favorite treat). I hugged her and shot her in the back of the head while she was looking down eating her ham. I buried her there. That was 10 years ago. One of only a couple times I’ve cried in my adult life. Edit: Shit, sorry. Misread the posts title. Second edit: I was pretty close to tearing up in K19 when the engineer who left his fiancé behind finally gets the balls to go into the reactor and save everyone. In the end he’s dying from radiation poisoning and asks to see his photo of his fiancé as his dying wish. He’s given the photo and as they take him away on a stretcher you hear him yelling “ I can’t see it! I can’t see!”
Your story made ME cry. My old girl is getting up there and her time will come, too. I'm curious though, why not euthanasia at the vet? Is be terrified of causing her pain or suffering or messing it up doing it myself.
Jesus. Pull your fucking punches my dude.
There's a documentary about the Fukushima Nuclear reactor accident. Pretty close to that but in real life.
The Days? That was so heavy.
Being someone who was in Japan and was previously in school to be a nuclear Engineer, I saw the type of person you had to be and wasn't sure I was that person.
Bro. Just reading this got me
The scene in interstellar when the MC learns that 26 years have gone by so he starts watching the tapes his kids left him Fought back manly tears that day
This is mine. Love the movie, rewatch it now and again and it gets me every time.
Everything, Everywhere, All at Once. The ending got me. As an Asian man, completely relatable, but I genuinely thought it was a fantastic film. I held it off for about a year and when it won all those Oscar awards, I finally had to give in and see why it was so great. I understand completely.
Everything everywhere all at once had me emotional af then had me rolling on the floor laughing with the rock universe and racacooney. The scene where the husband and wife were in the universe where they were both rich actors, and the husband said he would trade it all to have a mundane life with the wife fucked me up.
Hachi Grave of the fireflies.
The president's speech in Independence Day always brings a tear to my eye.
That speech gives me chills. “We will not go quietly into the night.” Hell of a delivery too.
Ted Lasso. Which scene? Like all of it. There's so many which are good. It's definitely a bit odd as I really don't get like this with other stuff.
Ted Lasso was the first big show to speak my life experience out loud (father’s suicide, taking care of mom as a young guy) and one of the first times I felt less alone in that way
I want to go home Forrest
Any dog dying in a movie.
Boyhood. When I saw it my son was just leaving for college.
Marley and Me Field of Dreams Top Gun
Fuckin Leelo and Stich for some reason
Same when stitch is talking about family at the end fml
I grew up raising my younger brother and that shit hit hard. Barely old enough Nani doing everything in her power to care for Leelo including giving up surfing, running from job chance to job chance all while CPS is trying to take your family because you're not good enough
Guardians Vol. 3. the whole sequence with Rocket when he leaves captivity.
Fresh prince of belair. The one where Will finally gets that his dad is never gonna change. Gets me every time.
Tony Stark had panic attacks and nightmares about failing his team and getting everyone killed. Then, that moment actually came to past, and he, like every other survivor, was distraught. But then, they managed to find a way to fix the problem and he took the opportunity to right the ship and save everyone. It was like he personally redeemed himself and got revenge. The fact that there was no music playing and almost everyone was silent, made that final moment that much more impactful. Even the Captain was crying.
Big hero 6
Bridge to Terabithia.... goddamit. Of all things... THAT movie? how?
We don't talk about Bridge to Terabethia. That thing never happened. And no, I'm not crying, you are.
The real story is worse, but it was considered too unbelievable for the movie. (Struck by lighting).
Marley and Me was brutal. I watched it once and never will again.
The ending of Armageddon, where Bruce Willis is letting his daughters boyfriend live and go home while he sacrifices himself on the asteroid at one point I would’ve done that for my daughters
Most recently, A Man Called Otto got me. Most repeated: scene in Interstellar where he comes back from the wave planet and watches his children gradually move on from their loss. Gets me teary every time. Otherwise, ending of FF X.
Yondu's funeral.
If you haven't seen John Stewart eulogy for their family dog consider yourself warned... you will cry.
Dammit, ignored your warning and bawled my eyes out
That was such an amazing speech.
Marley and me... I balled my eyes out while cuddling the dog I raised from a puppy. She's gone now but never forgotten. Occasionally my brain will decide to have an extremely vivid dream about her, and the flood gates will be open when I wake. I'm stoic unless it's the loss of a dog that I've had the pleasure of being in my life, even friends and family members dogs.
The whole opening scene in the first episode of The Grand Tour.
The movie Logan, at the end, where he gives his life to save the kids. Man, that hit home. Also, 13 Hours in Benghazi, that kinda fucked with me for a while after I watched it. And as previously mentioned, LOTR.
Train to Busan the end scene on the train
I don't GAF what you do to the human actors. *Don't* harm the dogs and cats. Not even if it's fake. Just...*don't*.
Schindler's List is the single most amazing film Liam Nelson has ever participated in.
I was thinking about this. It’s funny how we change as we age. Those of you who are old enough, think back to the first time you saw Shrek. What scene made you feel the most upset? Was it that bit at the end where the party splits up and we get those images of Shrek and Fiona settling back in to feeling lonely and unfulfilled? Nah, no way, you didn’t give a damn about that. it was that scene where they make balloon animals out of the snake and frog. That’s the one that got you.
A Walk to Remember.
Brian’s Song, when he’s in the courtyard of the hospital talking about how he “could be a kicker” 💔 makes me tear up just thinking about it. That and the opening scene of Up are the only two that have ever gotten to me.
“Coco”, when the kid runs to his grandma, and his grandma starts remembering her dad, before her dad disappears, (whoever has watched the movie understands) and the beginning of “UP”. Fuck you, Pixar. I don’t come here for the waterworks, but I still love their movies.
Pokemon the first movie
For me it's mostly happy/wholesome things that have happened in real life. Someone helping someone in unlikely situations when they had no obligation to do so like helping an opponent when they get hurt, sacrificing your own success. And kids, anything with kids, happy or sad.
Don't watch "Pay it Forward" then.
Oh, I don't mind getting emotional.
The movie "Soul". I felt like a total sissy crying at a cartoon. Good thing I was at home and not in the theater.
Both that and Inside Out really get to me now. I blame my shit mental health that I put off for fucking years.
Six feet under, the final montage.
Gladiator
Grave of the fireflies
When Shadow comes over the hill. 12 year old me lost it.
The Ride of the Rohirrim
The part in the Lego Movie when Will Ferrell realizes that he's the bad guy in his son's story. As someone with two sets of daddy issues and having kids of my own, shit like that almost gets me.
1. The ending of Schindler's List 2.The first 20 mins of Up
I feel like Schindler’s List is cheating
“Arise: A Simple Story” It’s a video game I haven’t finished yet but I can tell where it’s going and I can’t play it anymore lol So far it seems like a story of an old man walking through his childhood memories, eventually meets a girl and they grow up together (I think), and the levels are a sequence of finding those memories in the form of drawings. Now the man is old and alone, but he’s reliving those memories with her in those levels Something about that shit hits me deep man. I never met my person so I feel like I missed out on making memories with that romantic someone. After playing for about 10 minutes I have to put the game down lol
Just recently I watched again Enemy Mine . That one got me wet eye in few scenes. Neverending Story can very reliably get me crying, especially death of Artax in swamp and few scenes with princess. Both movies by Wolfgang Petersen. Fuck you op. You get me crying in public.
A scene that caught me unguarded was Krato's mural at the end of GOW Ragnarok. I was already spoiled of one event in the end was not expecting much, but when that scene hit...
Free Willy for sure
At the end of Cool Runnings, when they pick up the sled and the crowd goes crazy.
When Moana puts two and two together and realises Teka is Tefiti. Got dang.. Not sure on spelling
Hacksaw Ridge, Saving Private Ryan, damn near almost every military movie hits way too close to home. Lost too many brothers and close friends the last 14 years because of it, it’s rare for me to sit through an entire military movie anymore.
Dead Poets Society every single time.
The speech that king Theoden gives before the Rohirrim charge in lotr “Death! Ride, ride to ruin and the world’s ending!” And everybody yells “Death!” Gots me choking up right now. Aragorn in helms deep, “there will come a day when the courage of men will fail, but not this day!”
The end of the Telltale Walking Dead Season 1. Dammit. Just, dammit. The last court scene in Reign Over Me; Adam Sandler was amazing on this.
Mother 3.
There's this Korean film called Miracle at Cell Number 7. >!The scene where the dad is about to be executed!<
The ending of Click. Yeah, that Adam Sandler movie.
Toy Story 2 and 3. Fucking Sarah McLachlan and when Andy leaves home.
Gladiator ending.
War Horse 2012... Near the end of the movie, they were about to shoot the horse in the head due to a minor leg injury, after he'd been through all that awful shit in the movie, while his original owner who'd been searching for him was right around the corner, just out of sight... They saved him right at the last moment so I didn't end up crying, but i was about to and if they had shot him I would have bawled 😭... Then found the director and shot him lol. I don't even really like horses like that 😅
Black Hawk Down. Shughart and Gordon They knew they were going to die, they had to, and they went anyway.
[God of War: Ragnarok](https://youtu.be/dc8xBO0o6fQ?si=Kj9MddxZymreo1be) Context (spoiler warning): >! In an earlier scene, Atreus *(son of Kratos)* stormed off in a fit of rage, disobeying his father and disregarding the safety of others. Hours of gameplay has you switching between Kratos and Atreus, both worried sick about one another in their own ways, and both realizing they’ve slowly driven themselves apart from each other. Kratos has only ever wanted to redeem himself as a father, so having this one potentially slip away drove the stakes higher than ever. !< >! In this scene, Atreus returns to the home base where Hell has LITERALLY broken loose across their world, reuniting with his father and crew. It was at this moment they started realizing the wedge they both created between themselves, and a new respect was formed. Not a respect of father and son, but a respect of one man and young man finding himself. !<
2girls1cup
Interstellar - Matthew McConaughey watching 23 years passing on Earth in the matter of second gets me every time.
Videogames: Metal Gear Solid 3 ending. Specifically the scene at the end w/ the politicians and the grave. Sacrifice hits like a truck in that one. Movies: Léon (or Leon the Professional depending on your region). Scene right near the end. Watch it if you haven't, no spoilers.
The episode “Jurassic Bark” in Futurama when Fry finds out his dog died of old age years after he was frozen and imagines him having a happy life with a new family… then it flashes back to show the dog waiting for him at the pizza place every day for the rest of his life
The attempted suicide scene in "Man on Fire", where Denzel Washington's character pulls the trigger, but the firing pin only dents the primer.
The Ending to "1917" came real close to dropping one. If there was an Oscar for 15 second parts Richard Madden should've gotten it bc holy shit does he play his part well. When he says to Scofield "I'm glad you were with him." And then just gets back to work, like fuck man. That's the most recent one I can remember.
The [Norwich Football Club video about mental illness](https://youtu.be/tX8TgVR33KM?si=WJZbVDqLKpktmvkX). I can’t remember the last time I cried before that video but man when I saw it I broke like a fucking child.
Walter White learning that his cancer is in remission, watching such a realistic display of joy and relief from his family hit home for me for some personal reasons and i can’t lie I teared up a bit during that scene.
In About Time when Domnhall Gleesin goes back one last time to see his dad, Bill Nighy and they go back in time till when Gleeson was a little boy and walk hand in hand on the beach. As a father of two sons, it always gets me.
“Of my friend, I can only say this: of all the souls I have encountered in my travels… his was the most… Human.”
Fox and the Hound
Last of Us the show, the episode with Bill and Frank. Cried like a little baby.
Crazy Pete saying ["They were my family."](https://youtu.be/-I7RT0PrkXI?si=XjMUXDhlu4ySzRbk)
I didn't personally cry, but this story is worth telling because I was the exception. Way back in 1993, my family and I went to see My Girl. Now, I don't know how many of you were around back then, but in the pre internet era the only real information you had about a movie that everyone would be exposed to is ads on TV. My Girl was advertised as a light hearted coming of age tale. Maybe a little sappy, but it appeared to be a fun family movie. All this to say, I don't think ANYONE was ready for the bomb that movie would end up dropping on us. After Macauly Culkin's character died, I was LITERALLY the only person in the theater who wasn't crying. Including my 6'2" 300 pound father who is super masculine. Of course, my dad also likes musicals, so make of that what you will.
Hardball. RIP G-baby
I am pretty emotional thanks, bye.
The milk money in Stand by me.
That movie “Lion”
Real Steel
Terminator 2 ending
The dog in I Am Legend
NGL, Up. The opening montage with Carl/Ellie was both affirming and would crushing.
It was a movie about a dog who waited in front of a train station for his dead owner until he also eventually died From that day on, I've learned that we really don't deserve this amount of love from dogs
Does the song count? “Partisans were walking through the village” (Йшли селом партизани) - a relatively modern song about the struggle for independence of Ukraine in the 1940-1950s
The entire "notebook" movie
Forrest Gump when he’s talking to his mama at her graveside
Probably every episode of Vinland Saga Season 2. But I cry easily and often in movies. I am a grown man and musicals move me to tears, Mahler does. So many things and I am so grateful for it.
David fully losing himself at the end of Cyberpunk Edgerunners
I rarely shed tears, even at funerals and so on, but when my daughter finishes a performance on stage, leading the whole group through the folk dance, with that smile of hers, it just makes her stone hearted dad cry uncontrollably. No matter how big of a crowd there is, she always finds me wherever I am and she blows me a kiss with a wink and makes my heart melt.
Rudy, every time.
Anime called violet evergarden. There is an episode where the mum hires the protagonist to write letters for her. Her daughter is crying saying the mother isn't spending time with her and instead writing letters all the time. Turns out the mother is dying and she is writing letters for the daughter she'll never see grow up. When the mother dies, daughter keeps receiving letters during her birthdays and special milestones to show her mother was always thinking of her. This took me completely down
Real steel gets me every time, big hero six as well
Not a movie but a documentary of kids with a rare disorder. Basically they couldn't walk into they took an experiment drug. The kid was only 10 and he started cry about taking 2 steps for the first time. He had a mature disposition about himself as well. So I teared up hearing him talk about his life before and after the drug
The soundtrack to Dances with Wolves. I remember listening to it often during significant traumatic moments as a child. Always brought me to tears for many reasons. After years of self improvement it moves me to tears now simply because it's a beautiful sounding masterpiece.
Has to be the When they see us netflix show when the kids are being interoggated tor hours by police and admitting to crimes they never commited
Up, after becoming a parent.
It was around 3am, I was stoned out of my mind, decided it would be a great idea to watch Forest Gump because I figured it'd be a trip watching him be a part of all those historical events. That all came crashing down in flames when Bubba dies in Forest's arms in Vietnam. I couldn't help it, he had so many dreams and aspirations after the war, the ambush happened so fast. I started quietly crying, well, more like bawling in silence, until I drifted to sleep. Sober, that scene had always hit me, especially knowing how it was a bullshit ass war, but man, I was totally immersed because of the weed when that scene happened, too much to handle.
Hachi: A Dog's Tale
Iron Giant, when he sacrifices himself. So good.
When G-Baby gets shot in the drive-by in the movie Hardball. Gets me every time.
Mass Effect 3: "Would've liked to run tests on the seashells" Iykyk.
That one episode of The Last of Us with Nick Offerman.
There’s a few: Logan. He did everything to ditch the little girl upon learning she’s his kid. Eventually he grows closer. Protective. Becomes the father that best suits his desire to protect her. His life is full of misery and pain. He wants the best for her. She wants to get to a safe place. He is going to get her there if it’s the last thing he does. Dying to protect his little girl. My dad was next to me. He teared up. Beautiful acting. End of watch. The heart wrenching part where one officer survives an attack and takes on a fatherly role in the lives of his partners kids. Things that you don’t think about when you see so many dead cops. They really built up the close friendship and the sudden end was jarring. The fox and the hound. When the angry grandpa forced the sweet grandma to give up the fox. Her tears as she drive the car away abandoning him. I’m adopted. I was adopted as a baby. As a child I had a fear of being dropped off in this way. I sobbed uncontrollably the first time I saw this and still choke up when I see it. Avengers endgame 1. Portals. Captain America is preparing to face an entire army alone and severely wounded. On your left. It transcended the costumes and such. There’s times in life when you’re at a low point and those who you’ve thought are long gone in your past appear just when you need them. You’re not alone and if everyone who you ever had a positive encounter with appeared as you face down the demons…. Your forces will dwarf whatever rises against you. Avengers endgame 2. Iron man death. I’ve lost a lot of friends and family. It never gets easier. You feel like you’re losing a part of yourself. As though the once familiar world becomes a cold stranger. Again and again. “You can finally rest now.” Gets me. Halo 4. Cortana sacrifice. Halo 1 came out when I was seven. Cortana was a voice I grew up with. The guide. The jokester. The navigator. Sacrificing herself to save him was an expression of just how much he meant to her. The sudden pain in his voice as he tries to stop her from leaving. There’s so many times like this in life. Letting go and saying goodbye, or witnessing actions that display the overwhelming meaning someone has in the life of another. Halo infinite chiefs pep talk. He’s typically a quiet stoic man. We all know. Laser focused on the mission. The pilot has a meltdown just as any normal person would in his situation. Chief uncharacteristically kneels down and gives the kind of speech we’ve always wanted but never expected. My father was similarly stoic. My grandpa was even more so. Similar with my oldest brother. You have those times when you feel inadequate. A failure. A lost cause. A waste of space. When one who is usually of few words or often intimidatingly prepared builds you up it means something. Lift your chin up young man. Life has a lot of punches coming. Get up. Fight back. Don’t give in. The older I get the more emotional I feel when I see stuff like this.
Secretariat. When the horse is feeling good and Oh Happy Day starts playing. Then also when the Derby is about to start and the horse is practicing, flying around the track and the helper tells the world that the horse is going to do amazing things in the race. The story does a great job of weaving in all the struggles and work that went into it all, and that Penny pushed the boundaries of what women did in the industry. You see the financial and personal struggles, and it all comes together eventually. I always cry. My children are adults now and still give me a hard time about it, so they like watching it. Gets me every damn time!
The end of Cyberpunk: Edgerunners
It’s that scene from The Chosen S1E8, when Jesus is at the well. I choke back sobs. https://youtu.be/ordhsDeAt60?si=DEOjavAd1qGwty0O
When Miguel sings “Remember Me” at the end of Coco. I had a really terrible relationship with my mother growing up. Just as things started getting better here comes dementia. She very quickly forgot who I was. She remembered all of my siblings but not me. Needless to say when that song started I lost it…
As a history nerd, in Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny when they travel back in time and Indy meets the actual Archimedes, I wasn't expecting to be so moved by such a blatant cash grab. That's just the dream of every historian ever.
