Tear Jerker: Little Miss Sunshine
Olive trying to hold back tears and whispering to her grandfather that she doesn't want to be a loser "because Daddy hates losers." Try to get through that scene without at least a lump in your throat, I dare you.
Also "Grandpa won't wake up."
When Dwayne learns he's colorblind, which means he won't be able to become a test pilot.
Then when Olive is able to get Dwayne back to the bus.
This exchange:
Sheryl: I'm so glad you're still here. Frank: That makes one of us.
Olive giving up her ice cream because her dad convinces her she needs to stay skinny, and the rest of the family's reaction culminating in Olive yelling "Stop! Don't eat it all!" and taking a huge bite.
The "Do you think there's a Heaven?" scene between Olive and Frank.
