The last part of AI (2001)

The sinking of the Going Merry. Oda made me cry for a boat, and I’m not even joking.

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.)

ANY time any dog dies.

The Iron Giant

Grave of fireflies, of course

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.

When Rudy’s dad tears up seeing his son on the field

The ending of Watership Down. Can’t even think about without getting misty.

The movie ‘About Time’. The ending tore me up.

“little soldier boy” episode from Avatar: the last Airbender. Every time.

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.

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.

Opening for “Up” not in the top comments?

“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.
