What movie or scene from a movie (or show) makes your eyes misty?

    Buffy the TV show, when she discovers her mother’s dead body.

    “Mom? MOM! … Mommy?” Tears

      Ugh for sure. I didn’t even realize it until it was called out, but that episode also has no background music. It’s a subtle change but it makes everything so much more real and unnerving. Just thinking about that episode is making me cry now!

      Omg I held it together so well* during Coco until one of the final scenes when Hector picks up Coco and I absolutely lost it.

      *I cry at everything so “well” for me is probably not well for anyone else

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

      I watched it once and didn’t cry but I must’ve been dissociated AF or something because I don’t remember any of it.

        The breaking point for me is when his sister is chewing on the bottons.

      I’ve never seen the movie. Reading the summary was enough to mess me up. I don’t think I’ll ever be able to watch it.

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

          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.

    Tossing some anime in here:

    Anohana Violet Evergarden Fullmetal Alchemist (watch Brotherhood, but the scenes I’m thinking of but even harder in the original)

      You want some ugly crying anime time? Grave of the fireflies. The saddest movie studio Ghibli ever produced. If you don’t cry you might want to see a therapist. It’s what I show everyone who has ever told me “I don’t cry at movies.”

    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.

    I found the entire concept, but especially the “happy ending” of Paulie to be tragic and extremely depressing to me.

    My mother loved Beaches and Steel Magnolias but they always ruined my day. Then my mother died of cancer and they crossed into the unwatchable list.

    Not a movie, but has anybody here seen the anime Anohana. If you can watch that and not cry in every episode, you’re a bonafide sociopath.

    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.
