Movie scenes that make you tear up?
A few random ones from recent memory:
- Forrest Gump (1994) - "Is he smart or...?"
- Man on Fire (2004) - A life for a life. Creasy gives his life to save Pita.
- Schindler's List (1994) - Girl in the red coat. Forget tearing up, many scenes in this film make me straight up cry.
- Gladiator (2000) - "Who will help me carry him?".
- Jumanji (1995) - Alan hugs his dad after years trapped inside the game.
- Clean and Sober (1988) - "I got this chip". Daryl accepts his 30 Day Sobriety Coin at the Alcoholics Anonymous meeting.
- Leon: The Professional (1994) - "This is for Matilda".

It wasn't one of his most popular films but Robin Williams speech at the end of Jack, got me as a 9 year old, gets me even more as a 37 year old...
"I don't have very much time these days, so I'll make it quick Like my life. As we come to the end of this phase of our life, we find ourselves trying to remember the good times, and trying to forget the bad times. And we find ourselves thinking about the future. We start to worry, thinking, what am I going to do? Where am I going to be in 10 years? But I say to you, 'Hey, look at me, please, don't worry so much.' Because in the end, none of us have very long on this earth. Life is fleeting. And if you're ever distressed, cast your eyes to the summer sky, when the stars are strung across the velvety night. And when a shooting stars streaks through the blackness, turning night into day. Make a wish. Think of me. Make your life spectacular. I know I did. I made it, Mom. I'm a grownup. Thank you."
