As a grown man this scene still makes me cry

Tears every time. Got me when I first watched it close to 10 years ago. Now that I'm a married man, it completely destroys me.
The bit that makes me cry in The Iron Giant is when he starts to reassemble himself. I bawl unashamedly. What a beautiful story.

I know it's supposed to be happy and was obviously coming, but the part in Coco that kind of gut punches me the most is in the epilogue,
when his great-grandmother's photo is up on the ofrenda.
And here's another relatively recent one that I can rarely watch without starting to tear up.
I moved several times when I was little but still old enough to realize I was going to be losing touch with friends, so I can kind of relate to it.
I watched it for the first time in years a few months ago and I'd forgotten what Carl finds at the end of the Adventure Book. Shit fucking destroyed me man

I saw this before I was married and had kids ...it still made me tear, now it destroys me
One of of my favorite endings of all time. The music and the goodbyes just destroy me.
Boo the OP for that clickbaity thread title!
"You won't believe what movie makes grown men weep! Click here to find out!"
C'mon we're better than this. And yes, the first 15 minutes of UP are incredible. Such a shame I can't say the same about the rest of the movie.

Really? This is a forum not YouTube. The OP isn't making money of this stuff.
Suspenseful and fun titles equals clickbait apparently lol.
You guys are too much.
I have never understood the love for this movie. That entire opening is so hackneyed and the only reason people like it. I say this as someone who loves romantic films too (so people don't accuse me of being bitter or some shit, which is the only defense people seem to have).
Yeah the rest of the plot felt like random elements were just combined. Balloon house, ancient world, talking dogs.
There's a better way to tie into the theme of continuing to live and go on adventures with the rest of the movie then what it was.
Since the only thing to be achieved by an ambiguous thread title is wasted effort, uninformative titles should be avoided. It's a matter of courtesy. Those who would prefer to avoid knowing what they're going to read about are of course free to put a hand over the phone and just jab the screen at random.
I came in thinking "this is going to be about Up, isn't it"
Honestly the rest of the film is just a addon to that opening story. It's fun, but forgettable.
That opening story though will stay with me forever.
It's an entire relationship, the ups and the horrible downs told in like 5 minutes.
I just started welling up rewatching it now!

This. The little twitch Andy gives at the end kills me. God damn.
Have no idea how Toy Story 4 will live up to this in terms of feels, especially not after how disappointing Incredibles 2 was.
It's sweet, but I've never cried watching it for some reason. Not sure why. I do like the scene, though.
ok well, you assholes lead me down a youtube rabbit hole to somehow ending up watching this scene, so only fair to post it
I agree.
But the incinerator scene still makes me tear up at how evil Pixar can be at with emotion.
Ah yes, the start o Up was something else.
Friendship stories wreck me easier than love stories in fiction tho, only topped by adult fears (eg. children getting fucked over, while nothing can be done about it).
The Iron Giant is a bittersweet tale, another one that wrecks me, is the Pooh and Piglet relationship, not limited to any movie or story in particular. The two of them holding hands as they walk through the hundred acre woods, how Pooh reassures Piglet off his insecurities (very nice scene in the Ewan McGregor movie).
For an adult fear example, the Jack and the baby episode from Samurai Jack took me off-guard, Grave of the Fireflies memories came rushing back :(

I watched up with my then-girlfriend now wife. It destroyed me then and destroys me now. I'm getting emotional just thinking about it.
Especially that second bit when he discovers spending time with his wife was the adventure...oh man.

Back when I first saw it I didn't cry, it was obviously sad but it didn't really push me over the edge.
Last year I saw it again and stopped there because I couldn't stop crying, honestly UP would've been better as a short and not a full film.
