* ''StarTrekGenerations''. Earlier in the movie, Data had an emotion chip implanted. After the Enterprise saucer section crashes, Data and Counselor Troi are searching for survivors.

* ''ChronoTrigger'': In one of the endings, Lucca gets upset at the possibility that their actions may have time paradox'ed Robo out of existence. In an attempt to cheer her up, he claims that his eyes are leaking oil and stumbles about (though he really may have been crying).

Depending on how well it's written, it may be a CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming... or it may just become Narm if [[BadWriting done badly]]. Hey, it may even qualify for [[NarmCharm both]]. Frequently overlaps with WhatIsThisThingYouCallLove. Compare TearsFromAStone.

* The JimCarrey live-action version of TheGrinch.

* One of the saddest episodes of ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheBraveAndTheBold'' has RedTornado creating a "son" and then being forced to destroy him. He makes the "my eyes are leaking" quote afterwards.

* In PinkyAndTheBrain, Brain shows Pinky sad scenes from movies while urging him to stay stoic, but when an obvious parody of TheLionKing comes in Brain gets moved and says "Pinky, my eyes are leaking" and dimisses the idea that he's crying as ridiculous. When both of them stop weeping Brain suddenly gets the idea of making the saddest movie ever created.

* Mowgli in the first ''[[TheJungleBook Jungle Book]]'' story when he's banished Shere Khan but has to leave the jungle for the village:

After this she starts to cry and she thinks 'I don't get it, why am I crying?'.
** In the good end of the story, when Laharl begins to cry over [[spoiler:Flonne's apparent death]]. His first response is shock that he could cry at all.

* Roxas in ''[[KingdomHearts358DaysOver2 Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days]]'', who as a Nobody supposedly does not feel emotions. That doesn't stop him from crying in his dreams, however, and he writes about his confusion over this in his journal:

-->Troi: Data, I found something. One life sign, very faint.
-->Data: [pulls aside wreckage] Spot! [his pet cat] I'm very happy to see you, Spot.
-->Troi: Another family reunited. Data, are you all right?
-->Data: I am uncertain, Councillor. I am happy to see Spot, yet I am crying. Perhaps the chip is malfunctioning.
-->Troi: I think [[TearsOfJoy it's working perfectly]].

-->Then something began to hurt Mowgli inside him, as he had never been hurt in his life before, and he caught his breath and sobbed, and the tears ran down his face.
-->"What is it? What is it?" he said. "I do not wish to leave the jungle, and I do not know what this is. Am I dying, Bagheera?"
-->"No, Little Brother. Those are only tears such as men use," said Bagheera. "Now I know thou art a man, and a man's cub no longer. The jungle is shut indeed to thee henceforward. Let them fall, Mowgli. They are only tears." So Mowgli sat and cried as though his heart would break; and he had never cried in all his life before.

-->'''Jerry:''' ''(Crying)'' What--what is this salty discharge?
-->'''Elaine:''' Oh my God. You're crying.
-->'''Jerry:''' This is horrible! I care!

-->'''Sapphire:''' I'm crying? These are tears... I'm crying right now...
-->'''Almaz:''' Yes, Princess
-->'''Sapphire:''' Haha... I was so sad and couldn't cry, and now I'm happy and crying. This is so weird. [sniff][hic] Haha. It won't stop...
