What movie or scene from a movie (or show) makes your eyes misty?
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.
Paddington 2
One that comes to mind is Mike from Better Call Saul: “I broke my boy. I broke my boy.”
Opening for “Up” not in the top comments?
The Christmas Dinner at the end of “Seven Fishes” Season 2 of The Bear. Cuts a little too much on the dotted line for me.
The movie ‘About Time’. The ending tore me up.
“little soldier boy” episode from Avatar: the last Airbender. Every time.
Leaves from the vine…
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.
“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.
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.
Came here for this. When he’s walking with his dad past all the people from his life smiling and saying goodbye, I always get serious feels. Had a little tremor just typing that out!
Magnolia by Paul Thomas Anderson. The whole movie is pretty emotional but the scene where Tom Cruise’s character confronts his absentee father on his death bed absolutely destroys me.
One of my all time favorite movies, but I gotta be ready to full on cry if I want to watch it.
When Rudy’s dad tears up seeing his son on the field
Silver Linings Playbook. A real tear jurker. The scene at the end.
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.
