That scene from House where Cuddy follows House's hunch and gives the paralyzed guy the cortisol shot healing him and allowing him to walk again kills me

I thinknits good to once in a while have a cry to get out shit

Probably ejects cortisol...Soo powerful.

Also that scene in Majoras's Mask where you heal Pamela's gibdo father and she runs to embrace her daddy and she cries something like "Father/Papa 😭" in such a grief stricken singsong childish way. I just cant

Have a real soft spot for healing and restoration, it seems, from finding what was lost and thought intractable to at least somewhat restoring and getting it back somehow

The Rupert episode/end scene playing "Its So Hard to Say Goodbye to Yesterday" on Family Guy was very sweet and nicely done, not used to feeling things from Family Guy besides laughing and derision but it was touching in its own way

For me, it's usually scenes dealing with loss or grief. Something like the episode The Body from Buffy the Vampire Slayer is an emotional wallop I have to mentally prepare for. I think grief is the feeling I'm most connected to, and anytime someone loses a loved one it hurts, deep.

The Green Mile. Pick a scene...

The scene from Bluey, in "The Sign" when they decide to stay.

Oh lots honestly. And some hit much harder after I became father. These reliably bring the tears when I allow myself to be emotionally invested in the movie.

• Opening scene of Up.
• The scene where we finally see the unsanitized, ugly trauma of The Miracle in Encanto.
• Anna's solo "Next Right Thing" song in Frozen II.
• A few scenes in Godzilla: Minus One.
• The scene where Hawkeye gets the soul stone in Avengers Endgame.
• The messages from home scene and reunion scene in Interstellar.

There's an amazing Pathfinder (ttrpg similar to D&D) podcast called "Find the Path" that has a Patreon exclusive show called "Tyrant's Grasp" that is shockingly emotional and I have to be careful where/when I listen because I have been emotionally ruined by it several times. Their other shows are wonderful too, but that one is powerfully emotional.

The entirety of "My Neighbor Totoro"

Great choice.

Watching Obi-Wan and Anakin's relationship develop over the prior 2.75 films, all their adventures, memories, and to see it all come apart in mere moments, empathising with Obi-Wan after watching Ani grow not just as his Padawan, but as a person too, and having his upbringing be his master's dying wish... it's harrowing.

And both Hayden Christensen and Ewan McGregor's acting is phenomenal here. Ewan looks and acts genuinely heartbroken, "You were my brother Anakin, I loved you.", and Hayden's pure rage not just in his voice, but his eyes, his movement, he really shows that his anger channelled through the Dark Side is the only thing keeping him alive.

This scene is why Ep. 3 is my favourite of the franchise, it's so well done from start to finish.

The scene in Coco where she remembers.

The start of Up, and in the end when he realises... Fuck! Just typing this is making me go...

Whg do you think its so particularly powerful for you, does it hit close to home somehow?

Should I watch Up

Batman kills a young girl.

Dark

The podcast? It's a combination of factors. They are very authentic people and excellent role players, and they're playing a highly emotional, professionally written adventure. The narrator (game master in the terms of the game) is extremely attentive to details and pacing. They play strictly by the rules and are playing a difficult game, so sometimes heros fall and don't get back up.

These factors compound because the story itself is masterful. Powerful and grim, but also hopeful.

Massive spoilers below the tag.

The end of any given West Wing episode.

Seriously? Can you give an example? Did not see that one coming

Really sweet movie.

Not a movie, but...as a kid I would reread "Walk Two Moons" by Sharon Creech when I wanted to cry. The ending got me every time.

Edit: wow just reminded me of Stargirl with your comment

We read that too, I wasnt a fan but I felt the poignancy and the relation to her native background for sure, was empathetic to her identity struggle and the imperative to walk two moons in someones moccasins before passing+finalizing judgement

Stargirl by Jerri Spinelli really resonated and spoke to me as it seems autism-coded in my colored perception, did you ever encounter that one?

Thats so poignant, that they took the "o" out so its Dug, like Dig Dug. Does he like to dig?

Bingo's dream sequence is a very close second. That show is so freaking good

5h+ and not one mention of Futurama...
There's at least 2 that I can name off the top of my head and there's probably 2-3 more.
Seymour waiting for Fry.
Fry talking to mum, as a reward after the defeat of brains.
Just listing them brings up that hard to swallow feeling/emotion.

I haven't watched the finale since it aired, but there's one scene in the last episode of Lost that makes me teary just thinking about it.

I don't remember all the details, but Jack is talking to his father at some kind of wake or memorial and he asks him what is going on. Jack's father tells him that he already knows what is going on and Jack tearfully admits that he is dead. Something about facing your mortality like that, with your father watching, just got me.

That coupled with the scene of Jack bleeding out with the dog next to him made me ugly cry for the first time in years when I first watched it.

Do you mean "Mom" as in the evil "Mom" of the robot grease company

Nope, his own mum in her dream, not the evil Mom.
Edit... That one hits harder for me than Seymour, for reasons....

Ah now i see her :(

His dad kinda resembles a brunette Zap

Grave of Fireflies.

It's the rousing speeches, mostly.

Episode 10 of Violet Evergarden.

"Dear Anne..."

The end of Dead Poets.

No spoilers. Robin's casting is outstanding for that role/scene.

When I watched what Daniel Keene did to the people from Silo #17, after nukes went off in Season 3. I wasn't expecting that he could do that after watching first 9 episodes.

Spoilers

The scene in All In The Family where Archie finds Edith’s slipper under the bed.

The one that gets me is when he's standing in the grave and realises he's misjudged his brother.

Just today i watched the bluey Episode where they almost sell the House ( probably season 3 Episode 49) and me and my 4 years old both cried when Bandit heeler ripped the ,,for Sale ,, sign Out of the ground. Having wet eyes writing this.

Yup, that's another one

That episode of Scrubs where Dr. Cox thinks he's going to a kid's birthday party but realizes it's actually his best friend's funeral 😭😭😭

PS I Love You, and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.

How did that mixup happen?

Jurassic Bark

The episode of SG-1 where Daniel is dying and O'Neill has to get everyone to stop trying to save him.

The Constant. Lost

The ending of rent does it for sure

I think we all accepted that Cox was blitzed out of his mind for lacking sleeping for so long.

I mean, it sounds sad but I cry in Infinity War when Thor talks to Rocket about his past "what more could I lose?". The ending of Infinity War makes me cry too, I don't know why.

The scene in the house in Wandavision gets me

The final act of Rogue One, gets me.

The "death" speech in LOTR: Return of the King.

I dislike Cloud Atlas as a whole but the story "Letters to Sixsmith" is so beautiful it makes me cry as well.

"My Lunch" in the Scrubs TV show will always get me.

The "Up" opening is a freaking killer ... it's like tailored to destroy you.

Actually, the "Bing Bong" scene in Inside Out gets me.

Not reliably but after suffering through depression for a while and then watching the end of "Thunderbolts" where they grab him got me so bad I cried uncontrollably in the theatre.

Stay 2005

Very beautiful oddball movie with just a sad feel all over

Maybe one of the best episodes of the whole show.

Bluey has brought me neat tears many many times, even when I've seen it before and know what is going to happen.

The beginning of Up.

Definitely my favorite!

The end of The Sixth Sense when Cole tells his mom his grandma's answer to his mom's question.

The Good Place got me several times. Chidi and Eleanor have plenty of obvious moments but the one that was most unexpected was Jason talking about the air in his lungs feeling the same as the air outside his body. That made me feel unexpected things.
