Anyone who didn’t cry at this scene as kids is probably in jail for murder now.

I DIDNT NEED TO REMEMBER THIS!!!

This film owes my entire generation financial compensation for pain and suffering


[deleted]

I’m tearing up at just the mention of it


_TheShapeOfColor_

As a kid with a golden retriever this one SENT ME


hh73hh

I remember crying during that Adam Sandler movie Click when he’s old and alone in the hospital and runs out into the rain chasing after his family but falls down and dies


Nox-Avis

And when he finds out his dad died and he goes back to relive the last time he saw him. The whole scene is devastating.


BlueDubDee

This part for me. I can hardly watch it, it's too sad.


CokeMooch

Okay, no but seriously. I remember watching this movie as a double date flick and all four of us choked up lol. Both me and the other girl were bawling, I was like “I thought this was a COMEDY?!”


Trick-Set8964

This! My dad used to never get emotional at movies but that scene ALWAYS made him cry 😂

CybReader

God this scene hits so much differently as certain things happen to you in life and you realize you’ve been her. Crying in that room alone trying to pull it together


4SeasonWahine

The school play scene where she confronts him crying and then pulls it together quickly to congratulate her daughter on her performance and you can still HEAR the heartbreak in her voice as she says “darling!” Phenomenal acting.


tt1101ykityar

*tight whisper* "you also made a fool out of me" I think about that line all the time and I have a lump in my throat right now.

OMG GUT WRENCHING. Her performance was earth shaking.

Oh man. I can’t even think of Joni Mitchell without thinking of this!!


laurensvo

That feel of giving everything to raise a family just to realize your husband is lusting after someone younger.

Emma Thompson is a tour de force.


maniccomet773

when i was younger I remember not understanding why she didn't blow up and leave him. Now as an adult its so much more painful because I understand why she stayed.

I was about 5 yo when I saw it the first time and to this day I get both angry and sad at how they separated a baby from his mother and then were so fucking mean to him... it's the one classic Disney movie I pretty much hate.

katiekatiebobatie615

YellowGinger5280

It really is kind of a only watch it once because it is just that impactful. Leo and Johnny Depp were just absolutely genius. I could cry now just thinking about it.

You know what it's like to be poor and you know what it's like to work hard, now you're gonna know what it's like to sweep floors and bust your ass and accomplish twice as much as all the kids around you, and it won't mean anything because they will still look down on you, and you will want so much for them to like you and they just won't and then it'll break your heart, and that'll make your heart bigger and open your eyes and finally you will realize that there's more to life than proving you're the smartest person in the world. I'm sorry Malcolm, but you don't get the easy path, you don't get to just have fun and be rich and live the life of luxury.” I grew up a less than privileged kid. We bordered on poverty a lot. There was something so comforting about this family that despite it all, despite the arguing and the fighting and the struggles, they still loved each other and they still looked out for one another.


4StarsOutOf12

This show is so layered and real. Lois might be A LOT but God damn did she have her morals straight and genuinely did her best to raise her boys to be good members of society. And can we talk about the love she and Hal have for each other? There's one scene where she feels bad because she realizes he loves her more than she loves him, and he just starts laughing and says something along the lines of " Of COURSE I love you more...I've always known this! Lois, if the tables were turned and you loved me more than I love you, we'd never leave the bedroom!"


thisisntmyOGaccount

I love that Hal and Lois have the healthiest sex live of any married TV couple with 3 crazy kids in the house.


anitasdoodles

Oh man, when the boys get angry and all go after Hals family for the way they treated Lois at the reunion. They've all said many times how much they hate her, but the blind rage they all express when they walk down the hallway makes me choke up. "What are you guys gonna do??" "We don't know. We never know." Such a funny scene, but so damn sweet.

SakuraTacos

This movie but a different scene absolutely breaks me every time: After Littlefoot’s mom dies, he’s wandering alone with the sun behind him and his shadow looks really tall. So he goes running towards it happily and excited because he thinks it’s his mom and he’s confused when he gets closer to the wall his shadow’s on and she’s not there. I’m actually choked up right now just typing that, it makes me really emotional every time I talk about it haha


alouisvuittonmistake

I had forgotten about how much this scene wrecked me emotionally and now I’m trying to explain to my husband why I’m weeping while we’re watching Chopped


mufcgirl16

I sob all the way through this film. Also, Coco when you think about dying the second time when the last person alive who knew you remembers you for the last time 😭😭


pottymouthgrl

I think about that as a concept SO MUCH. I used to never talk about the dead because it was uncomfy but now I bring up memories with others as much as I can. It’s ok if it’s uncomfy and it’s ok if you get bleary eyed. It’s better than forgetting

The airplane scene in Rugrats in Paris with the Cyndi Lauper song "I want a mom" will always destroy me.

But this frog woman clutching her eggs, risking her life to make it to her husband and keep these eggs safe after Grogu was eating them the whole episode; and there’s this scene where they’re taking off in the ship and she’s just holding onto them for dear life. Like I ugly cried over this lmao.


presidentknope2024

Grogu eating the eggs was played for laughs and it made me SO upset. I was yelling at the TV


CokeMooch

Omg yes. This episode was so harrowing. I hated Grogu this episode lol, like to go through all this to save these babies and he’s snacking on them?! It’s brutal.

Beth (Claire Danes) in Little Women from 1994… Beth : If God wants me with Him, there is none who will stop Him. I don't mind. I was never like the rest of you... making plans about the great things I'd do. I never saw myself as anything much. Not a great writer like you. Jo : Beth, I'm not a great writer. Beth : But you will be. Oh, Jo, I've missed you so. Why does everyone want to go away? I love being home. But I don't like being left behind. Now I am the one going ahead. I am not afraid. I can be brave like you. Gets me every time 😭


unnnnnnnnnnhhh

I always get emotional when Samantha slept with Richard (basically cheating on Smith) in Sex and the City and Smith waited downstairs for her afterwards because he wanted her to get home safely. She breaks down and says she doesn’t know why she does these things and hates herself for it, then Carrie‘s voiceover: Even in the dark, Smith could still see Samantha and for the very first time, she saw him.


fallenarist0crat

loved smith. he was such a good guy. i also cry during miranda’s mother’s funeral when carrie sees aiden and steve in the church. they hadn’t been invited afaik, but they came anyway for support. the show seriously had some problems, but man, every now and again it was *really* good.


tt1101ykityar

I love in that same scene where Samantha mouths "I'm sorry" to Miranda. I know it's twee, but being vulnerable for a friend is such an intimate experience and I really appreciated it being a theme in the show.


MSUSpartan06

The one that gets me from that story arc is when he tells her that her personal life is interfering in her professional life and she rushes to the elevator. Every time.


frizzletizzle

To jump off this, the scene where Samantha and Richard dance by the pool and Samantha realizes she’s in love while “By Your Side” by Sade plays…I melt like butter. The music, the cinematography, the acting, all of it. Perfect.


IMOvicki

I did a rewatch recently and this scene got me!!


Time-Reserve-4465

Omg I literally just watched this episode the other day! And to add: juxtaposed to all the young people at the hotel event being labeled as “immature” when truly it’s Richard who is a man child. You get older, but if you don’t work out your shit, you never change.


islcastaway1986

“He can’t see without his glasses” from My Girl makes me bawl like a baby.

3frogs1trenchcoat

*"Are you afraid?"* *"Not of dying, really. It's more that I'm afraid of time. And not having enough of it. Time to figure out who I'm supposed to be.... to find my place in the world before I have to leave it. I'm afraid of what I'll miss."* I was having a full teenage existential crisis because of this. They had NO right doing this to us in a lighthearted girly movie about magic pants. NO RIGHT


tacobasket

OMFG I went to see this in the theater with my friends, and during this scene I was really holding back tears. Then, all of a sudden, in this packed theater, someone on the other side of the theater just WAILS and the whole rest of the theater suddenly starts sobbing audibly too. It was like we were all waiting for permission to cry with each other lol


futuristicflapper

Similarly when Carmen calls her dad on the phone and finally expressed her feelings to him. I’m 28 and both these scenes still make me break down.


Jaded_Watch_2315

The other scene in that movie that always gets me is when Riley finally exhales into her parents’ hug after coming back from the bus

Never Been Kissed is extra sad for me. My mom used to love watching that movie together with me. I lost her last month and so many things remind me of her 💔

onlythewinds

The end of Monster’s Inc with the “Boo!” “Kitty?”


ashsmalls102

This might not be a popular choice but Basketball Diaries, the end where Leonardo DiCaprio is begging his mom for 20$ cause he’s sick and she’s on the other side of the door crying with the 20$ bill in her hand and then she calls the police and says he’s breaking in so they’ll come arrest him. I cry every time I see that, Leonardo’s portrayal of a heroin addict in full blown withdrawal is absolutely incredible. Another one is Terms of Endearment. Shirley MacLaine screaming at the nurses that her daughter is in pain and due for her medication. She just wants her daughter to stop hurting and the staff at the hospital isn’t moving quick enough to suit her.

Jojo Rabbit when he sees his mother's shoes.

eveningtrain

I love this movie, Idgie was like a childhood idol, read the book when I was twelve, and THE LIKE A MONTH AGO I read the name of the real woman who inspired Idgie and realized due to some genealogy I worked on last year that my mother is 3rd cousins with the author Fannie Flagg and we are therefore also related to her great-aunt, the “real” Idgie! (Also didn’t expected to find so many more queers on the AL side of my tree but there ya have it, what a delight). Mom’s cousins apparently knew at the time of the film we were “somehow” connected but never bothered to tell he or anyone, I guess. Wild.

eureureong_dae

Oh my god, Lady Bird always gets me. Especially the end. *”Mom, did you feel emotional the first time you drove in Sacramento?”* The parallels between mother and daughter. Lady Bird’s reconciliation with her mother and her nostalgia for childhood and home. I think I’ll always cry watching this film. It’s extra special to me now because it was one of my best friend’s favorites. I don’t know why, but she always watched it the night before the first day of school. And now she’s been gone almost three months and my own first day of classes is coming up and I’m wondering if I should watch it the night before in her honor.

YellowGinger5280

The way she just crumbles to the ground. My trauma rises up every time. 😭

For me it’s when she runs off the porch after; the shame and feeling like you can’t even face your family.

TheSurlySculler

So many scenes from The Way, Way Back 🥺 When the kid runs back to the waterpark one more time to say goodbye to Sam Rockwell's character, when Toni Collette gets upset when they're playing Candyland. The whole movie makes me tear up lmao but I also find it so wholesome and comfy.


uhhh206

I wish that movie was more well-known! Steve Carell was brilliant as a villain step-dad, and Sam Rockwell is amazing in everything, even in other films where the script isn't great.

eureureong_dae

https://i.redd.it/19d3xtl1ucib1.gif I can’t explain why, really, but the “Boy Who Swallowed a Star” sequence from *Howl’s Moving Castle.* I think it’s a combination of Sophie’s resilience and devotion to Howl, her unrestrained emotion (“I don’t know why, but I can’t stop crying”), the music and the animation, and the whole time-loop aspect (“Find me in the future!”). It’s just such a brilliant scene. HMC will always be my favorite movie ever.

Edog6968

The scene in ugly Betty where Justin is performing Hairspray on the train since it broke down and someone said something like “tell your fairy kid to shut up”. Justin’s dad, who had previously been urging Justin to try out for sports and do more “manly” things, gets out of his seat and stands up for his son, and says “now my son’s gonna finish his performance of hairspray. And you’re gonna clap when he’s finished”. It was so beautiful especially as someone that’s in the LGBT community, I’m tearing up just thinking about it now 🥹 That and the scene in fox and the hound where the old lady drops off Todd and drives away 😭 one of the top 5 most sad/ heartbreaking scenes ever

I love them with all my heart, and the idea of someone telling me I can't be with them, I can't see them everyday... It's like someone saying I can't have air. I can't live without air and I can't live without them.”

I had a very difficult relationship with him, my mum and sister did too. And I felt like I had to forgive him for the hurt he caused us all or I had to white wash it. But I wanted to remember him, it was a complicated set of emotions to have. And this very simple quote helped me so much. Now I’m in a much better place with my grief, it doesn’t hurt as much as it did and I’m ok with not erasing my father’s faults. But every now and again I can remember good things and it is ok. It doesn’t sting so much.

Madame_Medusa_

When Drew Barrymore’s character’s dad died in Ever After. She’s distraught. And Angelica Huston, who plays the villain, is also inconsolable and you can see on her face that she cares for the dying man, and him dying and her being left alone with the children clearly wasn’t her plan. Also, there’s some scene in a Winnie the Pooh special or something where Rabbit adopts a baby bird and tries to not let the bird fly because Rabbit is afraid of losing the bird. But the bird’s gotta fly, so after tribulations the birdie gets ready to go, will Rabbit/won’t Rabbit show up and then the bird leaves and Rabbit shows up just after. Heartbreak! Birdie comes back to be like I will always love you, and then Rabbit is just waiting for the bird to come back. I remember watching that and then going to demand a hug from my mom. Even describing the ep has me a little weepy. Rabbit’s pain was palpable to me.

I cried in Tenant’s last episode, “I’m not ready”.

Stepmom always got to me as a kid.

six_seasons_

I feel like this scene was so hard because it's so true to life - when my dad passed, at his funeral when they closed his casket my first thought was panic because he wouldn't be able to breathe. You haven't processed yet and this line was such a tearjerker because it illustrates that so well

The scene in Forest Gump where adult Jenny stands on the bridge and asks Forest if he thinks God will turn her into a bird if she jumps off.


pajally

The scene from Lilo and stitch where Lilo throws her doll on the ground after the mean girls bully her :( then she runs back to get it :( idk why that scene shatters me so much


MrsEmilyN

I can't put a gif in, but the end of You've Got Mail when she says: "I wanted it to be you. I wanted it to be you so badly" I cry every time.

![gif](giphy|3ohfFDK6WZaWx1O3NS) When Bill Murray gives that speech at the end of "Scrooged". That scene gets me everytime 🥹

Little foot's mom dying and him rushing to the rock excitedly when he sees the shadow. MOTHER! gets me every time man.


ApparentlyAtticus

That scene from Buffy when Anya has a complete breakdown after Joyce dies. The whole episode is sad but this scene just destroys me. *Processing img ifxv649v2dib1...*

Just forced my husband to watch this with me and literally every flashback I said “Oh I hate this part🥺” He said “do you even like this movie??” 😂


[deleted]

Two: the end of Elf when Santa flies his sleigh because everyone sings (no idea why but it happens every time) and the episode of Futurama when cry gets extra time with his long dead mum. I miss mine all of the time and that hits me so hard.


MenstrualAphrodite

![gif](giphy|xUA7aQZvSt3W8VNlHW) When Sully says bye to Boo after they destroy her door :((((( weeping mess every time

Juno when she’s crying in hospital after having the baby


armyofsnarkness

The end of Juno when her dad tells her that she will be back (having a baby) on her own terms one day. That's what gets me. I'm tearing up just thinking about it. He is the best movie dad ever.


dragon_onesie

That whole movie makes me sob. When Vanessa tells her husband if she has to wait for him to become a rockstar she’ll never be a mother and she’s just so resigned and disappointed in him, when Juno’s dad is sitting with her and says she’ll be back one day on her terms, or when Jennifer garner sees the baby for the first time and asks how she looks and has that little moment with Juno’s stepmother 😭


pendle_witch

I love when Vanessa holds the baby for the first time 🥹


DorUnlimited

When it zooms in on the note Juno wrote Vanessa, “If you’re still in, I’m still in” and she has it framed in the nursery 🥺

My answer is technically not the titanic ENDING. It's when the band breaks up but the one violinist stays behind to continue playing and the other players slowly return one by one. Followed by the montages of all the chaos. I ugly cried at that.


Kate-Downton

For me it’s when the old couple in bed hug each other while the water pours in.


_llamasagna_

For me it's the mom with the kids in bed


fallenarist0crat

also in forrest gump when he asks jenny “is he smart or is he…?” and jenny says he’s incredibly smart and forrest starts crying.

Hachiko - A Dog's Tale is made to be a tearjerker, so I don't know if it counts. I ugly-cried all through it because the human race doesn't deserve dogs.


illsaxophoneyou

Juno, after she has the baby and Jennifer Garner is there to take him home. “He was always hers.” Tearing up just thinking about it, oof.


SakuraTacos

![gif](giphy|mARpfawc1AreNLXgs0) In recent cinema history, “Rocket, Floor, Teefs go now!” absolutely BROKE ME. DESTROYED. I sobbed on and off for about 2-3 days afterward. That was cruel and im never watching GOTG 3 again lol


gestatingsquid

The ending of the Lorax. The onceler was still old and reclusive and it really made me realise that sometimes, you can’t ever go back and you just have to live with all the bad you’ve done.


SinfullySinless

My sister was 9, and loved Jurassic Park. Jurassic World just came out and I took her to the IMAX. My god this girl was uncontrollably sobbing at the last T-Rex roar over the Jurassic Park reprise score. I had to carry her out of the theater and she’s blubbering out the plot of the movie as we walk past the line of people waiting to go in and see it. All you could hear was her sobbing “IT’S SO BEAUTIFUL” and people groaning from the spoilers. Core memory of my sister.


AfraidKinkajou

When I watched P.S. I love you for the first time, I had just read the book, so I was crying just because they were fighting in the beginning, yelling at my TV to stop fighting because >!he was going to die!< Then I SOBBED when it finally came to that point. For reference, this is like the first 5 minutes of the movie, I basically cried with the starting credits


Exciting_Artist_6057

![gif](giphy|yjYc3HM5XIABsCFS4U) This movie is not discussed enough. I'm getting teary just thinking about it.

In Field of Dreams when Moonlight Graham becomes old again to save Karen from choking to death he turns to leave after he saves her life to go into the corn field and Shoeless Joe says “ Hey, Rookie. You were good”.

MyRockySpine

I used to LOVE the Resident Evil movies. In Resident Evil: Apocalypse Alice has to fight Nemesis. Nemesis is an experiment from the umbrella corporation. He was a person named Matt and only other person that escaped the hive with Alice during the initial outbreak. I would cry like a baby when that scene came on. I always felt a little silly over that one.

When I was 8, my grandmother died. I was very close to her and it hit me really hard. Charlotte’s Web just happened to be on TV around then, I watched like always…..and the actual meaning of the story hit me in the face like a sledgehammer and my parents had to calm my hysterical ass down. I still can’t watch it and that was 30 years ago.

The whole movie wrecks me because it’s tangled up with memories of my mom, but The Last Unicorn hits me a few different times. ![gif](giphy|zyvX4znjfNqdG)


Skybodenose

The scene in Merida where her mother starts to become more wild and bear like, and Merida realizes it's nearly too late for her mother to turn back into the queen. Edit: The movie is called "Brave."


propped-up_problem

The last scene of The Edge of Seventeen when >!Erwin introduces Nadine to his friends, and feeling excluded she starts to exit the group, but he pulls her back in!<. Having spent a lot of time feeling not part of a group even if I’m nominally included, that moment hit hard.


suedaisy

Truman Show. When he saw everything was a lie.. it was heart wrenching.


JuliasTooSmallTutu

The movie is a trifle but Mr Hobb's Takes a Vacation has a scene where Jimmy Stewart's character takes his son, who is around ten, on a boat ride to see a comet that comes by something like every thirty years and his son says "we can see it together the next time it comes around" and the dad just smiles sadly and agrees knowing that he probably won't be here when that comet comes back. It wrecks me. Although, I went back and did the math and Jimmy Stewart did live long enough to see that fictional comet come back so I always tell myself that they saw it one more time.


twizzwhizz11

Two moments in Crazy Rich Asians, both around Rachel and her mom. The first is when her mom first shows up in Singapore and they’re talking about her life before she had Rachel and how she ended up in the US as a single mom. The second is the entire mahjong scene with Eleanor, but especially starting when Rachel reveals her potentially game winning hand and how she walks over to leave with her mom and her mom gives Eleanor a stare. (Could write an essay on the beauty of this scene overall!!) I just love that for a romcom, most of the emotionally powered scenes were between the women in the movie.

The ending of High School Musical 3…that ended my childhood bro so it makes me tear up 😭
