First season of After Life by Ricky Gervais.
The scene after where Gervais' character realizes fully what he has done, especially to himself long term, is soul crushing. The i did the right thing, but for all of the right and wrong reasons look on his face is haunting. I think it is the 2nd episode.
A lot of the episodes open with him watching his wife telling him to enjoy life. Her sitting on the hospital bed, on her final days because of cancer.
I hated gervais before this, i found his comedy delivery and style very grating but after watching this shoe and getting kicked in the guts every couple episodes i gave him another shot and dont mind him so much now. Show is a 10/10 if you want to sob silently with your partner.
Toy Story 4. The scene where Woody says goodbye to the rest of the toys and goes off on his new adventure with Bo Peep. Gets me every time.
The original Toy Story was the first movie I remember seeing in a theatre so maybe there's some nostalgia contributing to that.
Inside Out
Feeling brave, tried rewatching it and got to the scene with Bingbong and I had to turn that shit right off because I couldn't stop crying. I cry at a lot of things but few movies have ever made me cry as hard as this one.

Up
So I don't get to the cinema much, but I got to see The Muppets when it came out (over a decade ago, good grief), and Kermit singing Pictures In My Head totally broke me.
Dunno whether it will work for anyone else, but like many of a certain age, I grew up with the original Muppet Show on TV and it hit too damn hard.
The Iron Giant
"It's not your fault" - Good Will Hunting
My obvious pick: "It's a terrible day for rain."
My niche pick: Patch Adams. The scene where he considers || jumping off the cliff ||
My IDGAF what you think pick: Avengers Endgame. "Hey, Pep" and "You can rest now."
When Homer drives his mom to the middle of nowhere so she could meet up with some friends to escape the police and he just stays there even even after she’s long gone long enough for day to turn into night.
The scene at the end of About Time between the father and son. I won't describe it, since I don't want to ruin it for anyone.
"A dog's purpose" movie's main purpose was to be tear jerker.
The intro to the game stray
It's not a movie, it's an old avertisement, and I guarantee you if it doesn't stir something in you, you're not human:
The ending to that depressing as fuck Speilberg film A.I. Don't ever watch it unless you want to ruin your day.
Ernest Goes to Camp, when the kids pick on him and reject him. He sings the song “All I Needed Was a Friend”. No joke, shit hits hard
THIS scence from "Platoon" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QEv3zzKyiFQ
The music is adagio for strings which has to be the saddest most emotional score ever
I remember Click (2006) being very sad, but I haven't watched it in a long time.
The ending of Watership Down. Can't even think about without getting misty.
Ibelin. Saw it in the cinema when it first came out, seemed like everybody in the audience was crying.
(It's about a kid with a degenerative disease who connected with people through an MMO.)
The fault in our stars was so sad I wish I hadn't ever watched it. I hate that movie.
The Bob's Burgers episode "The Amazing Rudy" (season 14, episode 2).
Regular-sized Rudy goes out to eat with his divorced parents and their new significant others. It goes horribly wrong and he runs away to the Belchers'. I tear up a little bit even thinking of it because it isn't played for laughs. I really feel for Rudy, just trying his hardest and putting way too much pressure on himself, and the way Louise steps up for her best friend is just so sweet.
