What movie or scene from a movie (or show) makes your eyes misty?
The fault in our stars was so sad I wish I hadn’t ever watched it. I hate that movie.
All those crying Pokemon in the first film when Ash is turned into stone.
Pikachu crying gets me every time :')
They’re just weeping because he’s recently discovered titties are a thing he can potentially enjoy, and Pokemon’re no longer very interesting to him, as a result. 🥹
A few episodes of Futurama. You can guess which ones.
The one where Nixon’s reelected hits too close to home.
Tap for spoiler
Jurassic Bark?
This one gets easier when you remember that they retconned it later.
That’s one for sure.
Edit: but not the biggest culprit for me
Luck of the fryrish always gets me
Yeppp that’s another one
Edit: still not the biggest one for me
Game of Tones?
There’s like 5 episodes that people always mention. If it’s not that, it’s probably The Late Philip J Fry, The Sting, or Lethal Inspection
Yeah that’s all of them. Game of Tones makes me the most emotional. 🥹
Edit: just thinking about it is doing it right now lol
Philip J. Fry was named after Phil Hartman.
To carry on his spirit.

I’ve been watching Shrinking and it has a lot of those moments
Yeah, I don’t know which is more effective at catching me off-guard with shit I’ve not thought about in decades: Shrinking or The Bear. 😅
It’s not a movie, it’s an old avertisement, and I guarantee you if it doesn’t stir something in you, you’re not human:
That crash was so cartoonish, I couldn’t help but laugh at that.
The intro to the game stray
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.
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.
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.
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.”
I haven’t seen it yet and I’m scared to 😅
Opening for “Up” not in the top comments?
Marley dying at the end of Marley and Me
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.
