Films/Scenes that made you cry - Suddenly, it started raining...indoors.

The ending of The Snowman:


There was also an adaptation of Michael Rosen’s book We’re Going on a Bear Hunt made a few Christmases ago that has a very sad ending, but I can’t find any clips of it.

The part of Groundhog Day when Bill Murray's character keeps trying to save the old homeless man and keep him from dying, but he realizes he can't save the old man always made me emotional.

Especially in the scene where the homeless man is eating and he looks so happy.
 
The scene in the Hobbit cartoon where Thorin is in bed dying of his wounds after the Battle of the Five Armies always got to me when I was a kid.

Clannad was pretty soul crushing. Same with Legend of the Galactic Heroes.

It hurts even more if you're in the camp that believes that none of the mystical shit was real and it was just her trying to cope with the Spanish Civil War.

This scene was probably my favorite in the film.

Oddly enough, the film doesn't take place during the Spanish Civil War but years afterwards... perhaps worst of all, the war itself wasn't even close to being the worst war of that decade.
 
The suicide scene from Dead Poet's Society:


I went to boarding school, so that film hit very close to home for me. The fact Robin Williams is gone now makes watching the whole thing even more emotional.

The following scenes don't make me cry. But almost.
While this is a classic for first-year film students to analyze with the same old "Ethan is too barbaric to be a part of the outpost of civilization he helped to build", I feel, with further post-modern bullshit on my part, like it's taken on some additional meaning in the light of how Westerns are largely a dead genre. They were a key part in building the Hollywood machine since they were initially cheap to produce and turned a tidy profit, and the tropes from Westerns are still the building blocks of action adventure movies but they're not often produced anymore because cowboys and indians isn't PC. It's the barbaric past that built the civilized now.

Speaking of The Searchers, let's look at a great scene pretty much directly lifted from The Searchers.
Yeah, it's a cheesy fantasy movie, but the music swells and some surprisingly good acting on Mark Hammil's part (especially on "Lead them back...HOME") sells it. It's great for the film itself, too- it goes beyond the Rebel vs Empire stakes from the opening and gives Luke a personal stake in the story besides "I want to get off this planet because it's boring". Much as I hate what Star Wars became in the late 90's and forward, that's one of the moments in the original trilogy that still melt the coldness I feel toward the series once in a while.
 
Bionicle: The Mask of Light actually manages to create a surprisingly emotional scene when Jaller dies after sacrificing himself to save Takua:


It's kind of spoiled a bit later when
he gets resurrected
but for a straight-to-video kids movie based on a Lego robot toyline, it's an amazingly powerful scene.
 
The last quarter of the 2006 Adam Sandler comedy "Click" actually made me cry as a 19 year old. Never thought a Sandler movie would do that to me. Especially the ending where Christopher Walken decides to let him have one more chance despite the fuckups he was doing.
 
Catch Me If You Can. The scene where Frank realizes he has no home to go home to. Just hearing Nat King Cole's version of The Christmas Song gets me emotional and I think this scene is partly the reason why.


I'll let this description do the talking for me on the sadness of this scene.
In Catch Me If You Can, “The Christmas Song” plays near the film’s end, on the day after Christmas 1969. On the way home from France, Frank escapes through the airplane lavatory and onto the runway as the plane taxis toward the terminal upon landing. Now night has fallen, and our teenage fugitive stands in the snow outside a window of his mother’s expensive new home. Peering inside, Frank sees Paula sitting in a chair, reading a magazine. The cozy domesticity of the scene is heightened by the relaxed warmth of Nat King Cole’s voice. His mellow baritone lulls you into visions of hearth and home, while the song’s soft, high-pitched string section simultaneously slices at your heart. Not with the harshness of a Psycho-type violin score, not with the lushness of a Nelson Riddle orchestration, but with the weeping sadness of Tobani’s “Hearts and Flowers” – that melodramatic violin piece associated with tragedy in silent movies.

As Frank watches through the window, Paula turns to smile up at someone, then hands a drink to . . . none other than her new husband, Jack Barnes (former best friend of Frank’s father, Paula’s first husband). As Jack walks out of the frame, a little girl moves in front of the window, playing a silent harmonica. Frank mouths to her, “Where’s your mother?” She turns and points to Paula.

The shock on Frank’s face is amplified by flashing red lights that suddenly appear behind him on the lawn – dramatic punctuation signifying the end of the fantasy that his family could be made whole again.

Dennou Coil , when
Densuke sacrifices himself and later on greets Yasako in his 'Illegal' form

And even though it's not a film, the part in Vinland Saga, where Bjorn dies always gets me.

Since people (including myself) have mentioned video games that have given them the feels ...

These ending scenes from seasons 1 and 2 of the Telltales Walking Dead game:



Kenny, with all of his faults, totally redeemed himself with this ending that I chose. The newer seasons of the game haven't been nearly as good as the first two, but I can settle on this ending as the end of the game. It's a satisfying end, IMO.
 
The only video game scenes I can think of were two deaths in the Fire Emblem Fates and Conquest games.

Lillith's death when she sacrifices her life for you.

You can't avoid her death in the games and she always dies.

And Azura's death when she turns into water.
