In the afterword of one of my favorite books, A Scanner Darkly, the author memorializes his various friends and family lost due to drug use, describing them as, "some people who were punished entirely too much for what they did". Something about that line just kills me.
I think because I work very closely with addicts, and I whole heartedly agree that they have been punished entirely too much, by the drugs and by society, for what they chose to do.

"Mr. Stark, I dont feel so well" Even after all the memes, it still causes me to cry. Peter's last moments are really heartbreaking, but everything about the ending of IW hits you, especially after years of conditioning that the heroes win in the end. Everyone just watches those that they're closest do disappear into dust, it's such a gut punch, especially Rocket losing Groot again and Sam disappearing just as Rhodey comes over going "Where are you, Sam?" And all punctuated by Cap being utterly defeated going "Oh God." It's such a wild chance to take in a movie like this. It's why Infinity War was/is so great! |

"Made a note in my diary on the way here, simply says 'bugger'" ‘Sir? I’m....I’m scared, sir.’ An absolutely beautiful but heartbreaking ten minutes. |

"Earn this, Ryan. Earn it." Was thinking of another Tom Hanks example. "I'm sorry Betty." |

"I'm not a smart man, but I know what love is"
"Is he smart of is he... *trails off and gestures towards self*"
Just the delivery of both lines is tremendous

From Blackadder Goes Forth "We lived through it. The Great War. 1914 to 1917" It's great cause at first you kinda laugh cause we know that World War I didn't end then... and then it hits you the War didn't end there... and these characters are going to die. "Made a note in my diary on the way here, simply says 'bugger'" ‘Sir? I’m....I’m scared, sir.’ An absolutely beautiful but heartbreaking ten minutes. "I have a cunning plan" ... "Well I'm afraid it will have to wait." |

"Earn this, Ryan. Earn it." and then the ending with Ryan at Miller's grave..... gets me EVERY time. My dad is a 74 year old Russian Orthodox Priest. In my 38 years, I've seen him cry three times. When his mom died, when my mom died, and the end of Private Ryan. |

"Among thousands of comrades and tens of thousands of enemies, you're the only one... you're the only one... who made me forget my dream. I sacrifice". Lol, awesome. |

I don't watch a lot of tv/movies, so I'm sure there are other examples, but for me, It's "How come he don't want me, man?" followed by the hug. There are probably A LOT of people who could relate to that, and I feel for them.
Another one is the end of That '70s show. Eric approaches Donna outside the house, and he moves closer to her and starts confessing that he may have made a mistake in leaving, but then she cuts him off and goes, "Eric, things are a lot different now." He tells her he thought about her every day, makes a joke about Red calling him a dumbass, apologizes, and Donna chokes up and kisses him. It's akin to a kiss goodbye to everything they were.
That scene always breaks my heart. Donna's going away to college, they both know that *this*, *this* moment they were living in, is the actual end of their complicated relationship as they both transition into adulthood. Their teenage years are now over. They went through so much, they at one point thought they'd be together, but life sent them in different directions.
It's a somber ending that is very relatable to a lot of people. Distance does a hell of a lot of damage. I had a girlfriend in high school who moved away to college, and we broke up because I wasn't going. It was hard. I've had those "one last kiss" moments in break-ups later on in life, too. Those life-changing moments where you know that the intimate connection you made with someone is being voluntarily severed. Life's sad, man. That scene is a real tearjerker for me.
EDIT: I hear they wind up being together in some sort of continuation? That's lame.

The ‘I love you/I know’ line from The Empire Strikes Back gets mentioned a lot, but to me Chewbacca’s howl of anguish as Han gets frozen is far more painful.
