It doesn't make me cry, but this ending scene from fast and furious 7 hits me in the chest everytime I see it.

Not thinking of a particular scene at the moment. However, I can say, Steve Martin's "Father of the Bride" took on a totally new meaning to me after I had a daughter. Saw it way back in the 90s as a teenager and it was just a funny movie. Watched it again a couple years ago, after having a daughter, and boy, it hits you different. Still funny, but all the emotions Steve Martin's character is feeling hit much closer to home.

Cast Away - when Chuck, who has been missing in the Pacific for several years, is rescued and brought home to Memphis, shows up in a cab to Kelly's house (she being his former fiance) while her family sleeps, meets fondly with her, leaves in the car that they shared before his departure from Memphis. As he leaves, she runs down the driveway in a torrential rainstorm to catch him and kiss him passionately in the car. She considers riding off with him but knows she can't leave her husband and daughter. It's a wrenching sequence in a story that depicts the most unfair (to everyone involved) relationship scenario I've ever seen.

"My Sister's Keeper"...when the girl is going to the prom and she comes down stairs and everybody is wooing over her but her dad is standing off to the side giving her the spotlight and she sees him and walks over and ask him if he thinks she's pretty....no chance any man with a daughter doesnt bawl over this.....those of you crying watching Field Of Dreams wont be able to handle this movie

My father wouldn't come into the bride room on my wedding day. The first time he saw me in my dress and veil was when I met him in the vestibule of St, Peters (this was long before these "first look" photos became a thing). I said "Well Daddy?". He said "You look beautiful Sweetheart" and started crying. I told him I could handle anyone's tears that day but his. That was the ONLY time I teared up that day.

Yeah...I get that scene you mention.

I also hate when Michael Scott leaves The Office. I always skip those last few episdoes. Usually I just start the series over as it was a completely different show without him on there.

Going way back, but there is a Paul Muni film made in 1937 called The Good Earth about a Chinese peasant farmer that comes on hard times with his crop and needs to kill his working ox to feed his family for survival and he just can’t do it, amazing a movie like that could move you so much, but it is a heart wrenching scene!

Yes. He hid in the bench in Hotch’s home office. They showed a flashback to Hotch working and he hears knocking. He opens the top of the bench and Jack says “I work the case too Daddy.”

The Art of Racing In the Rain.
Too many scenes to mention, from the very first scene to the very end.
I mean full on sobbing.
Oh man. Enzo's last ride gets me all the time and even now as I type (wish I knew the title of the song on that last ride). And the last scene in that movie in the garage....... amazing.

The last 4-5 minutes of a Dog's Journey also span the range of emotions from heartbreak to hopeful and heartwarming.

2 Tom Hanks movies:

Bridge Of Spies: In the end on a train in New York City, Hanks character sees a group of boys jumping on and over a fence. That immediately brought back memories to Hanks character of watching East Germans trying to go over the Berlin Wall to freedom, only to be gunned down by East German communist guards. This is the only movie I have ever been to where the audience stood up and gave a standing ovation at the end.

The other Hanks movie was "You've Got Mail". Meg Ryan at Riverside Park in New York City sees her ex- business rival (Hanks), who put her out of business, walking up to her to meet her revealing himself to be the mysterious internet pen pal she fell in love with. Meg was a waterfall when she realized that. One was happy for Meg's character.
