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

Cinema Paradiso. Wonderful Italian film about a boy’s relationship with an elder in the town as he mentally escapes war torn Sicily. Just wholesome and hits hard. It’s a beautiful story and the soundtrack by Ennio Morricone, ohhhh so good.
animale!
General Waverly walks out in uniform to find his old unit waiting for him. (“White Christmas”)
The scene in Interstellar when he returns from the time dilation to watch like 40 years of updates he missed from his kids.
So my sister bought me the wind rises… I went it watching it thinking it was another fun film… I called her after I finished and told her I was not mentally prepared for that.
Such a beautiful film though…
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 😭💔
It’s funny that for having such a full career I still think Fresh Prince was an absolute masterpiece and unequaled by anything else Will Smith did. (Second place was probably the original Men in Black).
The fault in our stars was so sad I wish I hadn’t ever watched it. I hate that movie.
My Life with Michael Keaton and Nicole what’s her name
This is the top of the list. Nothing else comes close when you need a really good and sincere cry.
Star Trek DS9’s “The Visitor”
This one got me.
“Duet” gets me too
Ernest Goes to Camp, when the kids pick on him and reject him. He sings the song “All I Needed Was a Friend”. No joke, shit hits hard
Maes Hughes’ big action moment in Full Metal Alchemist - either version.
Alternatively, the scene this music https://youtu.be/EL7e5XrzanA goes to (Ep 5 of Cowboy Bebop) - far more of a tear jerker for me than the final episode.
The last scene of the last episode of Six Feet Under.
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.
You want a tearjerking Michael Keaton movie, watch My Life. Hydrate afterwards, plenty of electrolytes, you’re welcome.
Buffy The Vampire Slayer, “The Body”.
Mom? Mom! Mommy?
Most are giving joke answers.
This one hits hard.
“A toast to my big brother George, the richest man in town.”
Alternatively:
“You are who you choose to be.”
“Superman.”
