As a grown man this scene still makes me cry

Getting musty-eyed thinking about the scenes listed ITT!
Pixar are absolute bastards for it tho, and since becoming a dad and re-watching each of their movies with the kids they're a lot more impactful now than first watch.
Inside Out tho...I watched about 18mths after moving to Australia and I was still having a hard time adjusting, so not only did the film speak to me in every way possible, our daughter was also still adjusting and the two things combined with my guilt about moving them to Aus had me crying hard...and then they throw in Bing Bong, and both the kids looked at me & started cuddling me which made me even worse...Jesus I'm tearing up typing this lol!
Bastards.

Really? I feel like Coco has a good emotional pay off, but the rest of the movie is pretty average. Up is on another level.
I had to NOPE out of this thread as soon as I saw the thumbnails of the videos.
I just can't watch this anymore, cause it's a guaranteed cry every single time.

Shawshank redemption always make me tear up. That and ending of brokeback mountain. I am not gay but love is love. And that last scene is very powerful.

There are a handful of scenes in The Thin Red Line that strike huge emotional chords with me. I was going through a divorce when I saw the movie and I was in a transitional phase in my life. I was very open and contemplative, so the poetry of that movie spoke directly to my soul. I remember weeping at 4-5 scenes in the movie. It was a rough time in my life but the movie gave me comfort and peace.
Up destroyed me because when I first got married I watched it with my wife and we just got flat laid out
Was going through the channels about a week ago on a Saturday night, Up had just just started so left it on. Both myself and my wife were crying like babies at the end of the opening scene/montage even though it was at least the 20th time watching it. Really is incredible how well it is done. I also agree with whomever said the older I get the more it hits me.
Some incredible acting from Will Smith here. It's such a powerful scene.
UP opening scene kills me, shame the rest of the movie was mostly a bit poor.
Someone did kind of ruin it for me though... He's clearly a fairly clever person, if he'd have just got a decent job, rather than balloon seller, then maybe they would have been able to afford to go on their adventures a bit earlier in life...

Yeah, critically it seems to be buoyed pretty nicely. I'll come back to it!
This is a really interesting observation. I can see where you're coming from with this. Having that deeper understanding on life, responsibility, and love makes this scene from Up hurt even more.
I was honestly expecting it to be about Field of Dreams before clicking it.
Yeah uh... watched that with my kid a few months ago and I noticed some water in my eye at that scene!
The week after my dad died, my mom took my little sister out to the movies just to get out of the house.
They saw Up.
It went about as well as you'd expect.

Forrest Gump crying at the grave towards the end always gets me so bad.
"If theres anything you need, I wont be far away."

Every time my 4 year old watches toy story 3 when the incinerator scene and the very end scene come on I have to go and make a cup tea or something...
Man, Coco had me nearly bawling in the cinema lol. Fantastic film!
Pixar 100% has my number. My wife and I saw Up on opening night, it was before we were married and had kids but we wept at that scene. The whole theater aside from the kids was sniffling, with random "Why are you crying Mom/Dad?" being heard in between.
Fox and the Hound and Grave of the Fireflies also if you just want to get a real good cry out.

I never found this scene sad in Dumbo until I became a father.
Once I learned that the little girl who played Marie was murdered by her father before the film's release, I can't watch All Dogs Go To Heaven anymore.
And a few months before I became a dad, the endings of Logan and Guardians 2 absolutely wrecked me right there in the theater.

My wife disappears when this scene is about to happen. Getting away from the TV doesn't help though because whenever I find her she's still a mess.
Good to hear. I think Thin Red Line has got more emotional staying power than Saving Private Ryan if we're going with WW2 movies along with Come And See, Grave Of The Fireflies, and Schlinder's List.
I'm only 28, and been married less than a year. I'm already more emotional about widowed spouse stuff and alike. Can't imagine when I've been married years and
have kids. I find people get more emotional as they age because you've had more experienced to tie into what you're seeing.
And that's why Pixar is, imo, vastly superior to the other animation studios. When they want to hit the feels, they hit them harder than anybody else, just right, not over the top, just human. This scene made me teared up hard the first time, and still does. Masterful storytelling.
I cry to movies and TV. All the time. You all posted magnificent examples.

The music swells and I bawl my eyes out.
Up! Is my favorite Pixar movie. I know for a fact I would be like Carl if my wife died before me. Watching it for the first time nearly brought me to tears. Such a strong impact especially for those who can connect to the relationship those two had.
Doug is great and I will hear no evidence to the contrary. Squirrel is absolutely a meme in our house.
I think I'm a sociopath, that didn't make me cry. hell I was hanging out in my grandparents house last month while my grandfather was laying dead and everyone was all emotional and it didn't phase me one bit.
His work on Lost had me feeling too many things. Life & Death might literally end up playing at my funeral.
Same, OP. My wife and I went to see Up in a packed theater. We must've been one of the only couples without kids. Damn if I didn't cry during both of those scenes. Tried my damndest to hide it because I felt so awkward.
And yes, I own the movie and still tear up on rewatches. Love Up. It's Pixar's best.
