Most literal tear inducing movie scenes for you

Same, if it's not to be 100% ingross by the art then why bother, I let myself completely vulnerable. I don't hold back LOL
On topic, The green lime. At multiple time, either by joy, but mostly through sorrow.
Not a film but The final scene in Blackadder Goes Forth destroys me every time and I've watched it a million times.
Saving Private Ryan
.
I walked out of that movie in a daze, then bawled in my car for about ten minutes.
Dude, me too! No movie has EVER fucked me up like Saving Private Ryan did. I was embarrassed by how much I was crying when the movie was over.
If we're branching out to tv, I finally got around to watching the Shield recently and Shane's ending hit me like a ton of bricks.
Yeah, I didn't cry but it put me in a crazy haze for a while. Took me years to ever want to watch it again.
Private Mellish's death was just brutal to witness.

Will Smith having to kill the dog in I Am Legend. I just got up and left the theater and cried in my car.
For a recent example not yet mentioned, a few bits of Leave No Trace, the dad doing the computer personality test and the last conversation the dad and the daughter have at the end, the 'the same thing that's wrong with you isn't wrong with me' one, really did a number on me.
Also the long take in the hospital in Roma and the video messages in Interstellar, which have been mentioned.
And for some reason, the Lacrimosa/birth of the universe sequence in The Tree of Life, which I can't really explain.

Yeah I was shaken up but didn't end up crying til I got home.
"Tell me I've led a good life"
Lot of good ones in here. Space movies have an advantage on it with me. The scene posted earlier from Interstellar. I also teared up with Moon's "I wanna go home." The end of LotR got me like... 3 different times. But then again I cried reading the end of the books too.
I didn't, it was sort of bittersweet, and I thought the toys were gonna die just before that so I was kind of like, eh, okay, everybody's fine
I didn't cry but fuuuuuck that. This is the kind of shit they should show for D.A.R.E. or something.
I remember being dragged to see this movie with my family and relatives. This movie hit hard especially when I had to put my dog down a few years prior. A few people walked out of the theater before the movie could finish due to them getting too emotional. I had my hood on but I was a mess that had to look away as my family were sniffling and crying. I remember it all vividly and will never watch this movie again because I know it'll fuck me up again.
Yep, this is it. This is the one Jim.
Of all the films to make me cry, this one turned me into the biggest fucking mess. I literally sprinted out of the theater during that scene and before I could even get out, I was sobbing so hard I was literally in pain.
The hell was I thinking going to see this?!?! I think it was one of those things my family wanted to see and I had to go along just 'cause.
Besides this one, I'm not much of a cryer.
Although one other scene that comes close is....
This
This scene just destroyed me. Especially when I was younger.
Back in High School film senior class, our teacher happened to play something, a clip I think, that included this full scene.
I immediately got up, saying I needed to go to the bathroom, and proceeded to cry my eyes out for five minutes.
That was a very embarrassing moment.
I fight back emotion hard when other people, including my girlfriend, are around, but when I watch a film alone I became a huge crybaby with media as I hit my mid-20s and into my early 30s. I find it funny that Marc Maron, a really repressed and sardonic guy, says the same thing pretty often. There's a particular breed of us that are extremely stoic externally but just roiling with emotion throughout.
That said, the end of Lost in Translation kills me. Every time. It's not a sad ending nor a happy ending, it's just bittersweet and real. Life is a series of lives and the film points to that, fully extolling that who we are at 25 isn't who we are at 35 isn't who we are at 45, but that we are a multitude of people who maintain some sort of bodily continuity but carry it all with us all the time.
It's a movie I revisit every few years and it always reveals something new for me, some unseen facet of the film and my own life. I saw it first as a yearning 17-year-old, again as a hopelessly lovestruck 22-year-old on the same couch with a friend who would never feel the same for me as I did for them (on my birthday no less) which eventually doomed the whole relationship, again as a jaded 25-year-old nursing a lot of romantic wounds after a couple years of amazing highs and lows, and again as a 30-year-old in a very long-term and still intact relationship. I think I'm overdue for another watch.
This is a big one for me. That movie, top to bottom, is stunningly good.
This is a really good, but indeed heart-breaking movie. It's handled so humanely, so gently, and there's really no sense of judgment of anyone in that movie. It's a lot of very broken people who cannot help their conditions and a lot of very helpful people just trying to do what's right for the broken. That ending is pitch perfect, too - you simultaneously wish it had come to anything else while knowing anything else would ring false.
I also LOVE that it's somehow rated PG. It feels like a great movie to show kids entering adolescence as a way of broaching a lot of very sensitive topics while still being materially appropriate and honest.

I think it's just the sustained intensity and realism that essentially just hit me upside the head and said "You think you're desensitized? HA!"
Now though I actually am desensitized to media violence. Not sure if that's a good thing. Certainly don't want to test it by watching real world death/atrocities. Fiction is quite enough.
Shawshank redemption ending
Never thought I would die fighting side by side an elf part from RoTK
Ending of Brokeback mountain.

This movie was such a tear jerker too. Almost forgot about this one. :/
Like a bitch... The whole movie. Literally from the first second.
Yes.
Toy Story 1 and 2 are highly emotional though. 2 really gets to me.
3 always fails to.
These two are the ones for me.
"I'll be right here..."
And the Terminator theme kicking in as he is lowered...
Both are perfection.
People are very rightfully mentioning this scene (the whole movie is just magnificent), but that's not the end!
The ending is Hanks delivering the package he saved to the cute woman at the farmhouse then coming to a very literal (and on the nose, but beautifully so) crossroads, the rest of his life totally open to him. In the sun.
The end of Dancer in the Dark (that whole movie is soul crushing)
Guardians 2 ending
Logan
End of Evangelion (I wasn't sad, but I had tears in my eyes at a few points during third impact)
End of Green Mile (to the point that I can't watch it anymore)
On Her Majesty's Secret Service (the very end floored me, and it was the first time I had ever seen James Bond cry)

Phillip Seymour Hoffman in Magnolia.
"This is the scene of the movie where you help me out."
Miss that guy.
Also the last scene and shot of Magnolia cuts me to the core. Fucking love that film.

Damned good choice, and why I will whole-heartedly rank GotG2 above its predecessor and among the MCU's best. Detractors be damned!
