Miguel from Coco singning "Remember me" with Coco.

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 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 😭💔

Man, worst second date ever. Had no idea what I was walking into in that theater

[-] Quazatron@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago

I took the kids to see some fun animation movie. Got totalled in the first few minutes.

The last 15 minutes of "The Return of The King," starting with, "My friends... You bow to no one."

Every. Damn. Time.

[-] Sterile_Technique@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago

The scene in Interstellar when he returns from the time dilation to watch like 40 years of updates he missed from his kids.

[-] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago

Opening for “Up” not in the top comments?

Buffy The Vampire Slayer, “The Body”.

Mom? Mom! Mommy?

[-] Rezurektme@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

S1E3 of Last of Us - "Long, Long Time." Happy and sad tears galore.

[-] Shardikprime@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

"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 man, I forgot about the bicentennial man 🤖😢

[-] Glytch@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

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.

All those crying Pokemon in the first film when Ash is turned into stone.

The dad doing one last goofy march while his son watches, in Life is beautiful (1997)

[-] moktor@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

The movie 'About Time'. The ending tore me up.

[-] rizo@sh.itjust.works 1 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Grave of the fireflies... Sometimes the trailer is already enough... F*** can't even rewatch the thing...

[-] P1nkman@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

I watched it once, and cried for two hours. Not going through that again!

[-] rizo@sh.itjust.works 2 points 5 months ago

I always recommend it... But also with the warning: You will only be able to watch it once!

[-] P1nkman@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

I was looking for the movie when I opened the thread. I remember buying the special edition DVD, watched the movie, and put it away. It broke me, and I'll never forget it! One of the best movies ever created.

The Iron Giant

[-] Amax@lemmy.ca 1 points 5 months ago

What dreams may come, 1998 movie with Robin Williams.

[-] xmunk@sh.itjust.works 1 points 5 months ago

Birdman (with Michael Keaton) - nothing in the actual movie but the absolute soul crushing sadness when I realized that they weren't making a Harvey Birdman Attorney at Law movie.

[-] livingcoder@programming.dev 1 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

The episode "The Sign" of Bluey, the end.

[-] andrew_s@piefed.social 1 points 5 months ago

I cry quite easily, so a small sample of films that have made my eyes misty are:

The Remarkable Life of Ibelin
Bridge to Terabithia
A Monster Calls

[-] Toes@ani.social 1 points 5 months ago

+1 for bridge to terabithia. That movie still chokes me up.

[-] theedqueen@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

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.

[-] PeriodicallyPedantic@lemmy.ca 1 points 5 months ago

Grave of fireflies, of course

[-] syklemil@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 5 months ago

Ibelin. Saw it in the cinema when it first came out, seemed like everybody in the audience was crying.

(It's about a kid with a degenerative disease who connected with people through an MMO.)

The intro to the game stray

"I have been, and always shall be, your friend."

[-] GoofSchmoofer@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

Into the wild when he discovers that human existence isn't meant to be lived in isolation and then dies a few days later in total isolation.

The end of Saving Private Ryan always gets me as well.
