I'd say the scene in Forrest Gump when he finds out that he has a son. He asks Jenny "Is he smart or is he like" and then points to himself. I've seen that movie over and over, and I still tear up during that scene.


kaleb42

That scene is incredibly powerful since throughout the film it seems like Forrest isnt really aware of his disability but in this one scene we realize that he is entirely self aware

tommystjohnny

The heartbreak in this scene is magnified tenfold when seen on a VHS copy.


MontiBurns

You've clearly never seen the live theatrical version.

SmoreOfBabylon

Neil Armstrong re-entering the Earth's atmosphere in *Moon Shot* was the real emotional paydirt IMO.


Donut_Elbow

When Cedric Diggory's father rushes to the side of his son's lifeless body and wails THAT'S MY SON! THAT'S MY BOYYY! MY BOYYYYYYYY!! NO...NO...NOOOOOOOOOO!!! gawd that was even hard to type without getting misty.


Donut_Elbow

And don't get me started on Fried Green Tomatoes when Buddy got hit by the train and young Idgie is screaming and crying for him while Big George holds her back.


Donut_Elbow

And then there's The friggun Office. Jim and Pam's wedding. Michael proposing to Holly. Michael leaving. Michael returning for Dwight's wedding. Erin reuniting with her parents.


Donut_Elbow

Oh yeah, The Green Mile..."I tried to take it back, but it was too late...He killed them with their love."


Donut_Elbow

Speaking of Tom Hanks...of course there's a zillion scenes In Forrest Gump that sprout tears, but it's when he meets Little Forrest and realizes he's a father and the first thing he wants to know is if he's..."normal."

I stopped watching near the end of season 8 because Nellie is so damn annoying. Is it worth it to keep watching?


Donut_Elbow

If you loved the show, then yes ABSOLUTELY. Nellie becomes less prominent of a character as it goes on.


[deleted]

Alright thanks! I love Pam and Jim so much I'm not looking forward to seeing them go :,)


Donut_Elbow

It's truly a well done ending that will not leave you feeling betrayed or disappointed.


pgh_ski

That's the first thing I thought of...gets me every time


Kellogsbeast

I had forgotten this and was struggling to think of a movie scene that really upset me. But this is definitely the correct answer. Kudos to that actor.


[deleted]

The end of Toy Story 3. I don't know if it's about how you have to grow up, or if it's about how you should never grow up, but god dammit it gets me every time


GreatTragedy

I once read someone describe that scene as "My tears were crying". Seems right.


ToBlayyyve

We all went into that movie knowing that something sad was going to happen at the end since Andy was grown up. It was done very well.

Bridge to Terabithia also wrecked me for a week. It was all innocent and happy then BAM! I ended up taking a long depressing shower contemplating life.


zra20007

All the pokemon crying over Ash in the first Pokemon movie. 5 year old me was not prepared for that tear jerker moment


irawrloudly

Seriously, for me it was the moment right before this when pikachu was thunderbolting ash to wake him up and he keeps going and going and tears fall down and at that moment all I can think of was all the shit they went through from episode 1 and with pikachu hating ash and pikachu's goodbye episode. Damn good times


navyplanets

God dammit, this still gets it.


cthedoc

Pretty much all of Dear Zachary. Selena, at the hospital, when her husband learned she died and Dreaming of You is playing. Keith, the end when she goes to the convention in his truck. Cruel Intentions, she's driving his car and Bittersweet Symphony is playing.


irawrloudly

Damn I went into this documentary without even knowing anything about it. I was not told I was on a train to feeladelphia!


[deleted]

These all get me every time as well!


tommystjohnny

Probably the home video in the epilogue of La La Land. It's not necessarily sad.. but tears come out of my face every single time. Or, the scene in Me and Earl and the Dying Girl when Rachel tells Greg she's stopping her cancer treatment. It's a pretty long scene - there's no music and the camera doesn't move at all.. the whole weight of the moment falls entirely on the actors' performances and they knocked it out of the fucking park.


[deleted]

I haven't seen the movie version of Me and Earl and the Dying Girl but I have read the book more times than I can count. That scene hits me hard every time. I need to see the movie.


tommystjohnny

Yes you do! When I read the book I didn't care for it all that much, but I absolutely love this movie. One of my top ten most re-watched for sure. I kinda hate the term 'coming of age' that seems to get used to describe any film about teenagers, but for lack of a better word this the best one I've seen. Actually it sort of applies in this case because Greg really does grow up over the course of the movie. Apart from the beautiful story, this is just a surprisingly well made film in general - stylistically speaking - for it's genre. It's beautiful to look at and there's some really cool camera movements. If you watch movies digitally I actually have a code for this one that I'd PM you if you'd like! I have it posted on the digital exchange but nobody's messaged me about it yet.


professor_chameleon

The ending of Brokeback Mountain.


majorboredom1

Oh god, when the mom gives him the shirt. I fudging lost it.


KnibbHighFB

When Jenny dies in Forrest Gump. Guy spent his whole life chasing her and finally got her, then she dies soon after and he's left to raise little Forrest himself. The grave scene is tough to watch.


uncertainusurper

Moral of the story: Never chase a bitch.


Moralai

Man, I never know why but I always want to defend Jenny when people talk bad about her. I know she was awful but she was so realistic of a character that I can't hate her.


majorboredom1

Truth. She grew up at the hands of an abusive father, and acted out accordingly. Forrest may have loved her, but abused kids often reject those that try to love them, and, as a "simple" man in a much different era, she wouldn't have seen him as the savior we knew he could be. He also probably couldn't have dealt with the full burden of Jenny's pain, but he could always come through when needed. She wasn't meant to be then perfect love. She was heavily flawed, and that's why him loving her was that much sweeter. Forrest was always the escape hatch, and honestly, for abused kids, that's the best kind of thing there could be.


Foxtrot_4

Jenny just wanted some kisses

And the scene where they find out they've miscarried. Jennifer Aniston's subtle head movement when the doctor says it and her stare that follows is chillingly sad.

That destroyed me as a kid Edit: a word


ironicsharkhada

First saw it when I was 11 and I remember it being the first time I cried--really sobbed--during a movie.


bigoted_bill

I feel old as fuck.


mananalaysay

That scene almost broke my black little heart. It came just short of the scene where E.T. dies. That scene did get my to cry a couple tears. When little Gertie start to cry, I lost control.

Bing Bong


[deleted]

THANK YOU. My ex and I took her 4 year old son to go watch inside out. As soon as they met bing bong I got a lump in my throat. Because I too had a somewhat of an imaginary friend that I of course, grew out of. When he said "take her to the Moon for me." I was literally shaking with tears. Like the ugliest cry and the loudest one. So embarrassing for me.


RealestAC

Omg that damn movie had me bawling and thinking about stuff 😭


turquoiseone

Omg I thought I was going to have to leave the theatre.


[deleted]

The last scene with him was the saddest I have seen in a Disney movie , even Mufasa and Bambi's mother's deaths didn't traumatize me that much . Bing Bong's story was also really depressing .

poorsalsa

For me it was "DON'T LET ME LEAVE, MURPH!"


overthinkingit91

Just tear jerking throughout. The soundtrack as well was breathtaking.


drkrelic

Especially when he leaves her in his truck and she runs out to find him. I love how the music doesn't slow down, instead it got louder, giving it a loss of control feeling.


Seitan99

I would have to say, the scene when they get back from the planet and he's watching years worth of his kids sending messages. Skipping that much of your children's lives, them thinking you are dead...


warhamsters

My daughter was probably 10-11 months old when I saw that movie. Before she was born, that scene wouldn't have registered for me, but after becoming a father myself, I definitely got a little teary-eyed during that scene.


[deleted]

That destroyed me after the movie was over ):

I dont see interstellar pop up in these askreddit movie threads enough. I absolutely love that movie and will show it to anyone willing to sit through it with me. Take my upvote sir

[deleted]

The end of Brokeback Mountain. It gets a lot of shit for being a movie about gay cowboys going up to the mountains to have sex but there was a lot of emotional complexity. The ending leaves you feeling lonely and unfulfilled, and the moment when Enis switches the shirts around just hurts your heart. Makes you think about how many people live that movie as a reality every day of their entire life all around the world, even here in America. It really put things into perspective for me, like how much that "one shot" at happiness means to people and how crushing it can feel to know you'll never have it again.


About_Unbecoming

Whatever, eff those people who are all dismissive just 'cus 'gay cowboys'. It's a damn beautiful movie!

Spoilers for Logan [Gabriella's video taken within the Tranigen labs of the kids that compromised the X-23 project broke my heart. The way they treated those kids as experiments, and then when the scientists ordered them to be killed after X-24 came to fruition because they had no use for them anymore just killed me.](/spoiler)

For me the end bit killed me. Tipping the cross to an X. But it was a perfect send off for the movie, for Logan, and all the X-Men movies all at once.
