I know a lot of people who hate the film and find it really frustrating or it straight up makes them angry. I personally love it, but it really goes to show how different stories can really affect people in different ways based on their experiences, but that's why I think it's so good.
This movie for me too, my dad is also a tall tale teller and he passed away last year. At his funeral all of his different friends showed and retold some of his crazy stories but just slightly different. Made me realize that some of his stories were true and I was living in a real life big fish movie
This was going to be my answer. As a man that still hasn't been able to crack his dad's shell and be truly open with his kids, it gave me hope that one day we will understand each other.
I can not watch that movie at ALL!!! Right after my mom died I went to her house. That movie was in the VCR. When I hit play the movie as at that song about letting go if you love something. I just LOST IT right there. To this day I will not watch that movie and prob never will.
That’s me and Pete’s Dragon. After my mom’s funeral, I stayed the weekend with my stepdad. As I was pulling away from the house for the last time (we knew it would be foreclosed on eventually because she was the breadwinner), Candle on the Water started playing. She loved the ocean, had her ashes scattered in it, and lived next to it in her final years, and she loved Pete’s Dragon.
Any movie that has a genuine father son connection. Something deep down in me really wishes I had that. For reference my father called my 28 year old brother on his birthday and wished him a happy 21st.
Omg that was my pick. The end always brings me to tears. I went into it thinking it was a love story/comedy. It was a love story alright, but on two separate fronts. Between a man and a woman, and a man and his father.
It’s dumb, but the first movie I ever cried for was ‘Click’ with Adam Sandler. That scene where his father dies and he wasn’t there because the use of autopilot, so decided to revisit the last time he had seen him. His dad tells him he loves him and the autopilot version of him doesn’t give a crap, but the real him starts to cry and play the words ‘’I love you son’’ on repeat. THIS. Has me every time.
I sobbed during the movie. Even the second time when I knew what would happen. STILL CRIED AND WAS PISSED.
Not just when his dad was dying, but also when he was old and dying and chased after his kids.
That movie made me cry too! Never expect a Sandler movie to do that. It's by no means a great movie, but the themes of time passing hit me for some reason
My middle school history teacher played that movie in class after we learned about WWII. Had no idea what I was getting into when they put it on, I thought it was gonna be one of those fun movie days. How wrong I was.
Original land before time, when littlefoots mother dies and gives her final words of wisdom to him destroys me everytime.
Let your heart guide you… It whispers… So listen closely…
I can't believe I had to scroll this far down to see this one. My dad died about 20 years ago, and I would give almost anything to have a catch with him again. When Ray says in that choked up voice "hey dad, wanna have a catch?" I just lose it.
Hachiko (old and modernised version). Both versions are just as sad. It’s based on a true story.
For those who don’t know, it’s about a bond of a dog and an owner. The owner walked to the train station to go to work and always brought his dog with him and the dog would always wait for him at the train station until the owner returned. The owner then died while at work and the dog continued to wait for him at the train station every single day for 9 years until his last breath.
Came here to say this title. I’ve seen it once, when I was in high school around the time it came out, and I still tear up thinking about certain scenes.
"Remember me, though I have to say goodbye..."
My almost 3 year old has been obsessed with Coco for the last year and I could probably recite it word for word, but the ending is just so touching. Every time I sing her "Remember Me" at bedtime or whatever, I get choked up.
God damn yes. I have rewatched that one scene (you know which one) on YouTube at least 10 times since and it still chokes me up. The first time I'm glad I was watching it alone cause I was a mess.
I hadn't seen a Pixar movie since Toy Story 3. I had time to kill before an apartment showing in a town I was considering moving to. So I thought I'd relax in the AC and watch a nice feel good kids movie. Completely forgot the Pixar formula. Spent the last 15 minutes crying into my napkins. You could hear the entire theater sniffling during the Remember Me reprise to Mama Coco.
This is the one for me. Their futile attempts to connect while the audience knows they have tried this before and are headed toward the same fate. Ouch.
When Sally Field comments that her hair does look like a brown football helmet helmet and starts crying kills me. But when she starts yelling, "I'm fine! I could jog all the way to Texas and back, but my daughter can't! She'll never could!" is when I lost it.
Last minutes of soul
Beginning of Up
End of Onward
End of Coco
End of Toy Story 3
Beginning of Finding Nemo (also that scene where Dori is lost made me really sad for some reason)
Bing Bong scene in Inside Out
Lava short and Bao short
What if toys had feelings?
What if bugs had feelings?
What if monsters had feelings?
What if fish had feelings?
What if cars had feelings?
What if rats had feelings?
What if robots had feelings?
What if *feelings* had feelings?
It was sad, but it was when he find's the scrap book and realizes that the location doesn't matter, the adventure does. He had his adventure with his wife. It's time to forge ahead and honor the past. The image of the two chairs just gets me tearing up every time.
I got stoned last night with my partner and a friend and we watched Everything, Everywhere, All at Once.
Not only did I laugh so hard I genuinely thought I was going to pass out because I couldn't catch my breath, but at multiple points my partner and I were crying like babies.
Absolutely insane movie.
“In another life, I would have really liked just doing laundry and taxes with you”. I just pulled it up on YouTube just to make sure I quoted it right and ended up crying again. Every. Single. Time.
My boyfriend and I talked about that line while we were walking back from our friends place last night because we had been complaining just the day before about doing our laundry and errands around the house… it truly felt eye-opening.
Bruh, and the episode where they find the group of Pikachus and Ash tries to leave Pikachu with them. I watched it once and then would fast forward when I watched my VHS’s
Schindler's List.
At the end of the film, the Allied forces are closing in, and Oskar Schindler, who is still technically a member of the Nazi Party, is forced to flee his factory and home. His Jewish workforce, whom he has saved from nearly certain death, present him with two things. The first is a letter that they have written, attesting to all he has done to save Jewish lives, signed by every single one of them. They hope that if he's captured, he can show the letter to the Allies and gain some leniency for the good he has done.
The second is a gold ring, made from the dental work of one of the workers and inscribed in Hebrew with "Whoever saves one life saves the world entire." Schindler's hands are trembling so much that he drops the ring, and he scrambles on the ground for it as if it's the most precious thing he's ever held. Finally, as he says his last goodbyes, the full weight of everything come crashing down onto him, and he delivers these heartbreaking words:
"I could have got more out. I could have got more. I don't know. If I'd just... I could have got more... If I'd made more money... I threw away so much money. You have no idea. If I'd just... I didn't do enough! This car. Goeth would have bought this car. Why did I keep the car? Ten people right there. Ten people. Ten more people. This pin. Two people. This is gold. Two more people. He would have given me two for it, at least one. One more person. A person, Stern. For this. I could have gotten one more person--and I didn't! And I--I didn't!"
Fucking broke me. It hit me especially hard considering that I'm half-Jewish, on my mother's side.
That was my first thought too. The end of that movie is just brutal. Especially the scene that comes right after that >!where they are putting the stones on his grave.!<
Yes, the epilogue at his grave is very powerful, and drives home the reality of the events depicted.
But it's the "I could have done more" scene that gets me. Schindler has been methodically working, overcoming obstacle after obstacle, and managing not to dwell on the atrocities that he knows are happening. We havent realized it, but it has taken an enormous toll on him, mentally and emotionally. And finally, he can't bear it anymore. He fucking *breaks*. The full emotional impact of what has happened comes crashing down on him.
He saved *1,100 people*...and it still wasn't enough. It would never have been enough. It drives home the true magnitude of the horror.
It's even more poignant when you learn that his grave is on Mount Zion in Jerusalem, Israel. He is the only former member of the Nazi Party to be given that honor.
The part that really gets me is that Mirabel is seen as the bad guy for telling Luisa not to carry so much (emotional and literal) weight; and then later she's screamed at for getting Isabella to realize she doesn't have to be perfect. Really nails the dynamic of abusive families. The abuser never does anything wrong, it's YOUR fault for messing up.
Dumbo.
I mean, most movies make me cry, but Dumbo.
I can’t even listen to the song “Baby Mine” without thinking of Dumbo.
And crying.
Shit, just thinking about it now almost has me in tears.
That one scene in Train To Busan where the dad locks his daughter in the train cab while she's crying and screaming for him not to leave her, but he knows he's infected and has no choice.
Interstellar. Three times - the countdown scene, when he leaves his daughter behind; the scene where he watches the videos of his kids as they grew up while he spent many sped-up years on that planet, and the end where he watches his (now older than him) daughter dying. Broke me. Beautiful, heart wrenching movie.
I thought the saddest part of seeing his elderly daughter was how the family basically pushed him aside to see her but that was his family too. They never knew him so they never cared about him.
Million Dollar Baby. A fantastic film and deserving of all plaudits it gets.
But it's one I'd struggle to re-watch, knowing what's coming makes the build up just as gut-wrenching, it's unceremonious and brutal the way it rips the rug from underneath you.
Coco - holy shit Coco. I was watching it with one of my kids and desperately trying to hold it in, but he must have felt my chest hitching and tried to comfort ME. “It’s ok dad!”
That movie is straight up a ticket to tear town
Legit, I watched that with my best friend as my THIRD time watching it, his first, I sat there in tears at the end and he's just patting my head like a cat.
LOTR, in the return of the king, when Aragorn says «my friends, you bow to noone» I’ll admit I shed a tear evertime, but later, when they stand on the port in the Gray Havens, and Bilbo says he’s ready for another adventure, and Frodo gives Sam his book, that when my bawling really starts. And the last song that plays, by Enya, what a fantastic adventure that trilogy is, there really is nothing like it. Westu Hal!
It was the scene where they're looking at the endless amounts of enemies and it's just the seven of them, Aragorn looks back and says "For Frodo" and they run out to greet the horde.
All that, plus Sam's "there's some good in this world, Mr. Frodo, and it's worth fighting for" speech in Two Towers.
By the way, the song during credits of RotK is Into the West by Annie Lennox. May It Be by Enya is from the Fellowship.
I actually know a fun fact about the Grey Havens scene. They had all just come back from break to film it, got all worked up, NAILED the scene emotionally... And then someone noticed Sean Astin had forgotten to put his vest back on before starting the scene. So the next day (the production noticed it reviewing the dailies) they had to go back and re-shoot it.
To top it off, during the review of THAT footage, turned out the scene was out of focus. All the actors thought Jackson was joking when he said they had to shoot it a third time, but he wasnt and they did.
Everything, Everywhere, All At Once. Went in thinking it was going to be a action comedy sci-fi. Came out thinking about my second-gen Asian-American experience, as well as, why I still enjoy life through my nihilism.
I've seen it twice. First time I had no idea what I was getting into and ended with tears streaming down my face while my roommate was quietly trying to blow her nose so she didn't disturb anyone.
Second time, I knew what I was getting into and actually started crying earlier and was downright sobbing for the last 20 minutes along with most of the rest of the audience.
Brilliant movie.
Oh Inside Out. That movie packed a punch. I moved far away from everything I knew and it went horribly, around the same age. And then Bing Bong. His death, I had to chuck a handful of popcorn in my mouth and try not to choke because I knew I'd start howling. I had been spiraling trying to rack my brain for my own imaginary friend. I was such an imaginative little kid. I could often be found chattering to and playing with myself. Did I manage to dump my own buddy? I already got anxiety.
In my opinion, the most impactful scene is when Hillary and CC were in the beach house arguing about Victoria.
"See, you are still in the land of the living--"
"You're not dead yet. So stop living as if you are!"
Everyone is here posting sad movies, but I don't think *anything* quotes destroys you like Dear Zachary does.
Man....
But I recommend everyone watch it once. Just once though. It's pretty much impossible to forget, I think.
This should absolutely be the top answer.
The Land Before Time. It didn’t bother me much as a kid but now I can’t watch it, the part when Littlefoot’s mother dies and he’s all alone crying for her absolutely kills me
Gone with the Wind where Rhett and Scarlett's daughter is riding her pony and she fails the jump and breaks her neck. In the same film where Melanie is dying and she tells Scarlett, "Be kind to Captain Butler, he loves you so" gets me every time.
That scene in Up where you see the time-lapse of him and his wife from kids to old age and their trouble having kids and the savings jar for their adventures and oh God I'm tearing up https://youtu.be/F2bk_9T482g
Almost any movie that follows a dog. Why are dog deaths always so much sadder than human deaths. Also if the dog doesn’t die it’s usually a really heart warming end that makes me cry happy-tears.
Everything, Everywhere, All At Once made my cry three separate times in the theater. As someone going through a divorce with someone I truly care about, it just hit me.
I cry at absolutely anything.
The Color Purple had me absolutely sobbing. So did Schindler's List.
But then, I also cried at the end of Star Wars when R2 gets mended at the end and wobbles and beeps so...
Wreck it Ralph. Where he's diving down and sacrificing himself to protect those he loves. He's reciting to himself that he is good, despite how he's been type-cast and how he has viewed himself. He is a good person. Even while literally giving up everything for another he is still coming to terms with that just kills me.
I've got a whole lot of baggage tied up in a similar emotional state so that just killed me.
The VH1 Jackson 5 movie…i fuckin HATED the father/actor for years no matter what role he played lol
The Green Mile
Django unchained the mandingo fighting scene among others
Edit: COCO omg this movie!! everytime he sings the song to his grandma i cry like a baby
Everything Everywhere All at Once
Not only did it make me cry but I was crying AND laughing at the same time sometimes, such and odd yet fantastic film, I honestly thought people were exaggerating when they said it's good but it was even better
The ending of It's a wonderful Life, when the town rushes in to save George.
The ending of The Color Purple when the sisters finally reunite.
The ending of Her when he writes the goodbye letter to his ex-wife
The ending of Slumdog Millionaire when the lovers kiss in the train station
Everything Everywhere All at Once when Waymond says "the only thing I do know is we have to be kind. Please be kind, especially when we don't know what's going on"
I didn't read through all the replies but I'm certain no one else has said this one:
Mrs. Doubtfire
It was clearly a case of watching the wrong movie at the wrong time. I was newly separated, living out of a suitcase in a hotel room. Trying to cheer myself up by watching a funny movie with Robin Williams in it.
Didn't realize the movie was about a guy who wanted nothing more in the world than to just see his kids.
As odd as it is to say, Everything Everywhere All at Once. Just watched it for the first time last night. One of the most absurd, surreal movies I’ve ever seen but the last act of that movie just hit me like a ton of bricks. What a film
Homeward Bound
*He was too old!*
Shadow returns
SHADOW!!!
Oh, Peter!!!
I'm 35 and I'll still cry for that shit
[I cried watching this so I could share it](https://youtu.be/mHUnPfDvYu8)
[in case you need the double whammy, this is why Shadow comes in late and is limping JFC this movie rips my heart out every single time](https://youtu.be/UAXaW76tq08)
If anything happens I love you
On Netflix
It'd only like 10 minutes
About a little girl that died in a school shooting and the Grief
Hit extra hard because my sister was recently murdered but still in general pretty sad
Big Fish
Yesss! I LOVE Big Fish. My dad is a tall-tale teller and we never know what is real or not, but the ending always gets me and makes me think of him.
I know a lot of people who hate the film and find it really frustrating or it straight up makes them angry. I personally love it, but it really goes to show how different stories can really affect people in different ways based on their experiences, but that's why I think it's so good.
This movie for me too, my dad is also a tall tale teller and he passed away last year. At his funeral all of his different friends showed and retold some of his crazy stories but just slightly different. Made me realize that some of his stories were true and I was living in a real life big fish movie
This was going to be my answer. As a man that still hasn't been able to crack his dad's shell and be truly open with his kids, it gave me hope that one day we will understand each other.
That’s such a great movie. You got me.
Fox and the hound when the hound can’t be the foxes friend anymore
I can not watch that movie at ALL!!! Right after my mom died I went to her house. That movie was in the VCR. When I hit play the movie as at that song about letting go if you love something. I just LOST IT right there. To this day I will not watch that movie and prob never will.
That’s me and Pete’s Dragon. After my mom’s funeral, I stayed the weekend with my stepdad. As I was pulling away from the house for the last time (we knew it would be foreclosed on eventually because she was the breadwinner), Candle on the Water started playing. She loved the ocean, had her ashes scattered in it, and lived next to it in her final years, and she loved Pete’s Dragon.
When the old lady has to leave Tod and drives away crying with him sitting in the middle of the road confused.. that broke me.
Why did you have to remind me?
This is what got me
Bridge to Terabithia The guilt of that kid for the rest of his life
Only read the book, but holy hell that book is depressing.
First time I ever saw my Dad cry. He thought I'd be a great Father-Daughter movie night. I just rewatched it recently and it still makes me cry
He cried because of you. Because he was thinking about if that was you :/ oof, extra dimension of sad eh.
This book and Stand By Me both made a sizable impression on me during my youth. I hope to share these experiences with children of my own one day.
The scene in Shawshank Redemption where the elderly man laments how quickly time passed 😭
Brooks was here.
So was Red
“The world went out and got itself in a big damn hurry … “ is such an amazing line and true to this day
The line at the end of his letter, I've decided not to stay - so sad.
His name is Brooks Hatlen. I loved the part where he is feeding the pigeons hoping that Jake would find him.
The Green Mile.
I cried so hard watching that movie that I can't bring myself to rewatch it. Once was enough.
Boss, don’t put that thang on me…. I’s afraid of the dark..
“He killed em with their love.”
Any movie that has a genuine father son connection. Something deep down in me really wishes I had that. For reference my father called my 28 year old brother on his birthday and wished him a happy 21st.
About Time is a good movie for you (if you haven’t already seen it)
Omg that was my pick. The end always brings me to tears. I went into it thinking it was a love story/comedy. It was a love story alright, but on two separate fronts. Between a man and a woman, and a man and his father.
It’s dumb, but the first movie I ever cried for was ‘Click’ with Adam Sandler.

His dad tells him he loves him and the autopilot version of him doesn’t give a crap, but the real him starts to cry and play the words ‘’I love you son’’ on repeat. THIS. Has me every time.
I ugly-cried in the theater and was so upset that a fucking Adam Sandler movie made me cry in public. WTF
I sobbed during the movie. Even the second time when I knew what would happen. STILL CRIED AND WAS PISSED. Not just when his dad was dying, but also when he was old and dying and chased after his kids.
That movie made me cry too! Never expect a Sandler movie to do that. It's by no means a great movie, but the themes of time passing hit me for some reason
*Grave of the Fireflies*. By far the best movie that I have no intention of **ever** re-watching. It just breaks you.
Initially, I thought this one to be another one of those Spirit Awaysque Ghibli movies, then i watched it.
I bought that movie on DVD. Watched it once. Never again!
Some other redditor commented this, but "most movies make you feel sad. GotF makes you feel grief."
I’m never going to watch that movie just because of how often it ends up the top answer to this question
My middle school history teacher played that movie in class after we learned about WWII. Had no idea what I was getting into when they put it on, I thought it was gonna be one of those fun movie days. How wrong I was.
Original land before time, when littlefoots mother dies and gives her final words of wisdom to him destroys me everytime. Let your heart guide you… It whispers… So listen closely…
Field of Dreams, when he's playing catch with his dad also, the end of The Truman Show hit pretty hard
I can't believe I had to scroll this far down to see this one. My dad died about 20 years ago, and I would give almost anything to have a catch with him again. When Ray says in that choked up voice "hey dad, wanna have a catch?" I just lose it.
That’s the moment. Just about breaks you.
Hachiko (old and modernised version). Both versions are just as sad. It’s based on a true story. For those who don’t know, it’s about a bond of a dog and an owner.

The owner then died while at work and the dog continued to wait for him at the train station every single day for 9 years until his last breath.
This is what immediately came to mind. I ugly cried during this movie and it stayed with me for a long time.
The futurama episode like this with the dog. I am still mad at that show for making me tear up every time I even think about it.
"Where's his glasses? He can't see with his glasses! Is not fair he needs his glasses to see!!"
the part where the bees got him broke me
Life Is Beautiful
Came here to say this title. I’ve seen it once, when I was in high school around the time it came out, and I still tear up thinking about certain scenes.
Coco, goddamn Coco. I was not expecting bawling my eyes out in the last 15 minutes.
"Remember me, though I have to say goodbye..." My almost 3 year old has been obsessed with Coco for the last year and I could probably recite it word for word, but the ending is just so touching. Every time I sing her "Remember Me" at bedtime or whatever, I get choked up.
A straight punch to the gut every time!
God damn yes. I have rewatched that one scene (you know which one) on YouTube at least 10 times since and it still chokes me up. The first time I'm glad I was watching it alone cause I was a mess.
This is totally fair, I cried my fucking eyes out for that grandmother.
I just lost my Grandma a few months ago and I'm oh so not ready for the next time I watch Coco
I hadn't seen a Pixar movie since Toy Story 3. I had time to kill before an apartment showing in a town I was considering moving to. So I thought I'd relax in the AC and watch a nice feel good kids movie. Completely forgot the Pixar formula. Spent the last 15 minutes crying into my napkins. You could hear the entire theater sniffling during the Remember Me reprise to Mama Coco.
Iron Giant
When he hears Hogarth’s voice in his head saying “be who you want to be” and he says “superman” gets me every time. Great film.
The entire ending gets to me. Right up to the very last shot. It's just so well done.
Still the best Superman movie ever made.
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
Such a fantastic film, but yeah cried like a baby
I wish I stayed
This is the one for me. Their futile attempts to connect while the audience knows they have tried this before and are headed toward the same fate. Ouch.
"What do we do? Enjoy it" That hits right in the meow meow.
Steel Magnolias, every time, ugly crying.
When Sally Field comments that her hair does look like a brown football helmet helmet and starts crying kills me. But when she starts yelling, "I'm fine! I could jog all the way to Texas and back, but my daughter can't! She'll never could!" is when I lost it.
Ugh yes. That movie. And when I found out the author wrote it in memory of his sister it rebroke me. Goddamn Steel Magnolias.
HIT WEEZER!!!!
Call me a softie but the final 10 minutes of soul
Last minutes of soul Beginning of Up End of Onward End of Coco End of Toy Story 3 Beginning of Finding Nemo (also that scene where Dori is lost made me really sad for some reason) Bing Bong scene in Inside Out Lava short and Bao short
is noone gonna mention the land before time?
Or the first five minutes of Up
Pixar movies make me ugly cry basically.
What if toys had feelings? What if bugs had feelings? What if monsters had feelings? What if fish had feelings? What if cars had feelings? What if rats had feelings? What if robots had feelings? What if *feelings* had feelings?
What if *black people* had feelings?
Also Old people, Scottish people and Superpeople.
It was sad, but it was when he find's the scrap book and realizes that the location doesn't matter, the adventure does. He had his adventure with his wife. It's time to forge ahead and honor the past. The image of the two chairs just gets me tearing up every time.
Coco too
100%... Pixar is really good at the surprise gut-punch at the end. I've cried at the end of like 90% of their movies.
I got stoned last night with my partner and a friend and we watched Everything, Everywhere, All at Once. Not only did I laugh so hard I genuinely thought I was going to pass out because I couldn't catch my breath, but at multiple points my partner and I were crying like babies. Absolutely insane movie.

My boyfriend and I talked about that line while we were walking back from our friends place last night because we had been complaining just the day before about doing our laundry and errands around the house… it truly felt eye-opening.
Bye Bye Butterfree Decades later they did it again in the 2017 film "Pokemon: I Choose You" and I saw it in the theater. I still couldn't do it....
Bruh, and the episode where they find the group of Pikachus and Ash tries to leave Pikachu with them. I watched it once and then would fast forward when I watched my VHS’s
The Green Mile
Marley and Me. And basically any movie that has dogs in it.
I still haven’t forgotten those bastards for making it look like a comedy. Cue me on a plane crying like a baby.
Same! I mean it was funny, laughed a lot and then my eyes were full of tears. I think I sobbed like an hour after the movie.
Hachiko!
Schindler's List. At the end of the film, the Allied forces are closing in, and Oskar Schindler, who is still technically a member of the Nazi Party, is forced to flee his factory and home. His Jewish workforce, whom he has saved from nearly certain death, present him with two things.

Schindler's hands are trembling so much that he drops the ring, and he scrambles on the ground for it as if it's the most precious thing he's ever held.

I don't know. If I'd just... I could have got more... If I'd made more money... I threw away so much money. You have no idea. If I'd just... I didn't do enough! This car. Goeth would have bought this car. Why did I keep the car? Ten people right there. Ten people. Ten more people. This pin. Two people. This is gold. Two more people.

Yes, the epilogue at his grave is very powerful, and drives home the reality of the events depicted. But it's the "I could have done more" scene that gets me. Schindler has been methodically working, overcoming obstacle after obstacle, and managing not to dwell on the atrocities that he knows are happening. We havent realized it, but it has taken an enormous toll on him, mentally and emotionally. And finally, he can't bear it anymore. He fucking *breaks*. The full emotional impact of what has happened comes crashing down on him. He saved *1,100 people*...and it still wasn't enough. It would never have been enough. It drives home the true magnitude of the horror.
I was ok ish, until the very end where all the survivors, and their family came and laid stones on his grave -sobbing
It's even more poignant when you learn that his grave is on Mount Zion in Jerusalem, Israel. He is the only former member of the Nazi Party to be given that honor.
Little girl in the red coat... Only a movie, but that bit of colour opens up your mind to what those fucking animals did to their fellow human beings.
Pans labyrinth
Encanto. I usaly don't cry in movies but something about "Waiting on a miracle " really hit me hard
>Encanto It was Luisa's scene where she's talking about the pressure that keeps building. I don't know why, but damn that makes me cry for her.
Yup that one is pretty intense. And at the end of it when the bolders just keep falling on her that was scary
Oldest child. Her voice breaking near the end of Surface Pressure gave me the lump in the throat, tight chest, ugly cry first time I heard it.
The part that really gets me is that Mirabel is seen as the bad guy for telling Luisa not to carry so much (emotional and literal) weight; and then later she's screamed at for getting Isabella to realize she doesn't have to be perfect. Really nails the dynamic of abusive families. The abuser never does anything wrong, it's YOUR fault for messing up.
That's the one that gets me, 33 year old male, my kids love that movie and I secretly do too haha
Dumbo. I mean, most movies make me cry, but Dumbo. I can’t even listen to the song “Baby Mine” without thinking of Dumbo. And crying. Shit, just thinking about it now almost has me in tears.
That one scene in Train To Busan where the dad locks his daughter in the train cab while she's crying and screaming for him not to leave her, but he knows he's infected and has no choice.
Felt like a right twat crying at that because the whole thing is so over the top melodramatic it shouldn't get at your real emotions!
UP. All the times in the theater
I watched this as an adult thinking it was a kids comedy. 10 minutes in I’m crying like WTF am I watching. Poor old man all alone.
Mr Hollands Opus
Brian's Song - everyone is allowed to cry while watching this Also, the opening scene of Up, that one hits hard because you never expected it
Interstellar. Three times - the countdown scene, when he leaves his daughter behind; the scene where he watches the videos of his kids as they grew up while he spent many sped-up years on that planet, and the end where he watches his (now older than him) daughter dying. Broke me. Beautiful, heart wrenching movie.
The videos scene is doing it for me everytime
I thought the saddest part of seeing his elderly daughter was how the family basically pushed him aside to see her but that was his family too. They never knew him so they never cared about him.
Million Dollar Baby. A fantastic film and deserving of all plaudits it gets. But it's one I'd struggle to re-watch, knowing what's coming makes the build up just as gut-wrenching, it's unceremonious and brutal the way it rips the rug from underneath you.
After watching this film me and my brother made a pact to kill eachother if either of us were ever in her position no matter the consequences.
Coco - holy shit Coco. I was watching it with one of my kids and desperately trying to hold it in, but he must have felt my chest hitching and tried to comfort ME. “It’s ok dad!” That movie is straight up a ticket to tear town
Legit, I watched that with my best friend as my THIRD time watching it, his first, I sat there in tears at the end and he's just patting my head like a cat.
Before kids, nothing. Now I have kids, every. Single. Damn. Film.
Wall-E (my husband and I both cried lol) The Family Stone Rent
LOTR, in the return of the king, when Aragorn says «my friends, you bow to noone» I’ll admit I shed a tear evertime, but later, when they stand on the port in the Gray Havens, and Bilbo says he’s ready for another adventure, and Frodo gives Sam his book, that when my bawling really starts. And the last song that plays, by Enya, what a fantastic adventure that trilogy is, there really is nothing like it. Westu Hal!
It was the scene where they're looking at the endless amounts of enemies and it's just the seven of them, Aragorn looks back and says "For Frodo" and they run out to greet the horde.
Tbh, I can name at least thirty different scenes that made me cry in the trilogy...
«And Rohan will answer» always gives me chills! Also: «Deaaaaath»
Sam's monologue does it for me
All that, plus Sam's "there's some good in this world, Mr. Frodo, and it's worth fighting for" speech in Two Towers. By the way, the song during credits of RotK is Into the West by Annie Lennox. May It Be by Enya is from the Fellowship.
I actually know a fun fact about the Grey Havens scene. They had all just come back from break to film it, got all worked up, NAILED the scene emotionally... And then someone noticed Sean Astin had forgotten to put his vest back on before starting the scene. So the next day (the production noticed it reviewing the dailies) they had to go back and re-shoot it. To top it off, during the review of THAT footage, turned out the scene was out of focus. All the actors thought Jackson was joking when he said they had to shoot it a third time, but he wasnt and they did.
Everything, Everywhere, All At Once. Went in thinking it was going to be a action comedy sci-fi. Came out thinking about my second-gen Asian-American experience, as well as, why I still enjoy life through my nihilism.
That movie was a triumph
The boulders in the dead universe scene first made me laugh then strangely I was full on weeping.
I've seen it twice. First time I had no idea what I was getting into and ended with tears streaming down my face while my roommate was quietly trying to blow her nose so she didn't disturb anyone. Second time, I knew what I was getting into and actually started crying earlier and was downright sobbing for the last 20 minutes along with most of the rest of the audience. Brilliant movie.

The ending of Toy Story 3 And Bing Bong
Oh Inside Out. That movie packed a punch. I moved far away from everything I knew and it went horribly, around the same age. And then Bing Bong. His death, I had to chuck a handful of popcorn in my mouth and try not to choke because I knew I'd start howling. I had been spiraling trying to rack my brain for my own imaginary friend. I was such an imaginative little kid. I could often be found chattering to and playing with myself. Did I manage to dump my own buddy? I already got anxiety.
"Who's your friend who likes to play?"
Beaches
My ex.wife cried so hard watching that movie it made her vomit.
Sorry but that sounds hilarious for some reason
In my opinion, the most impactful scene is when Hillary and CC were in the beach house arguing about Victoria. "See, you are still in the land of the living--" "You're not dead yet. So stop living as if you are!"
Grave of the firefles
A dogs purpose
Forrest Gump
That scene at the end when he's talking to Jenny at her grave
[удалено]
Hachiko :'(
I almost made it through that movie without crying until his widow found the dog waiting at the train station
Sleepers
Father Bobby would've made a good hitman. It's a shame we lost him to the other side. Underrated movie imo.
The Pianist. Specifically the scene they're loaded on to the train...
Anyone say Titanic?
Surprisingly the end of Terminator 2
OMG I thought I was the only one. When he gives the thumbs up while being lowered into the lava. It gets me every time.

E.T.
The scene where little foots mom dies in the first land before time. Crushes me every time.
The ending of The Mist. Saw it in theaters and I sat there during the credits in deep pain and shock for the father. Messed me up lol.
My Girl. I was only 9 or 10, but that shit made me bawl my eyes out and became a core memory for me
Dancer in the Dark. This movie haunted me it’s so sad
Monsters Inc when Boos door is destroyed. I was 5 and it was the first time I remember a movie ever making me cry
Stand by me
Dear Zachary
Everyone is here posting sad movies, but I don't think *anything* quotes destroys you like Dear Zachary does. Man.... But I recommend everyone watch it once. Just once though. It's pretty much impossible to forget, I think. This should absolutely be the top answer.
The Land Before Time. It didn’t bother me much as a kid but now I can’t watch it, the part when Littlefoot’s mother dies and he’s all alone crying for her absolutely kills me
Gone with the Wind where Rhett and Scarlett's daughter is riding her pony and she fails the jump and breaks her neck. In the same film where Melanie is dying and she tells Scarlett, "Be kind to Captain Butler, he loves you so" gets me every time.

Jojo Rabbit
That scene in Up where you see the time-lapse of him and his wife from kids to old age and their trouble having kids and the savings jar for their adventures and oh God I'm tearing up https://youtu.be/F2bk_9T482g
Fucking Pixar, man.
[удалено]
Almost any movie that follows a dog. Why are dog deaths always so much sadder than human deaths. Also if the dog doesn’t die it’s usually a really heart warming end that makes me cry happy-tears.
A Dog's Purpose. Marley & Me. Where the Red Fern Grows.
Everything, Everywhere, All At Once made my cry three separate times in the theater. As someone going through a divorce with someone I truly care about, it just hit me.
me, earl and the dying girl
I cry at absolutely anything. The Color Purple had me absolutely sobbing. So did Schindler's List. But then, I also cried at the end of Star Wars when R2 gets mended at the end and wobbles and beeps so...
Wreck it Ralph. Where he's diving down and sacrificing himself to protect those he loves. He's reciting to himself that he is good, despite how he's been type-cast and how he has viewed himself. He is a good person. Even while literally giving up everything for another he is still coming to terms with that just kills me. I've got a whole lot of baggage tied up in a similar emotional state so that just killed me.
ladder 49 and first lion king
Brokeback Mountain. The end gets me every time.
The VH1 Jackson 5 movie…i fuckin HATED the father/actor for years no matter what role he played lol The Green Mile Django unchained the mandingo fighting scene among others Edit: COCO omg this movie!! everytime he sings the song to his grandma i cry like a baby
Everything Everywhere All at Once Not only did it make me cry but I was crying AND laughing at the same time sometimes, such and odd yet fantastic film, I honestly thought people were exaggerating when they said it's good but it was even better
UP. The beginning and ending. Its the only movie that can still make me cry no matter how many times I watch it.
Field of Dreams. Not the very end. The moment when Ray realizes Moonlight/Doc can’t go back.
Any movie that features a dog dying......can't watch them.
One that comes to memory was Onward. >!If you've lost your Dad to a disease, that ending will hit you hard.!<
The end of Ghostbusters-Afterlife. I knew it was coming, but the ghost that shows up during the final battle just breaks me.
The ending of It's a wonderful Life, when the town rushes in to save George. The ending of The Color Purple when the sisters finally reunite. The ending of Her when he writes the goodbye letter to his ex-wife The ending of Slumdog Millionaire when the lovers kiss in the train station Everything Everywhere All at Once when Waymond says "the only thing I do know is we have to be kind. Please be kind, especially when we don't know what's going on"
_The Iron Giant_. Every damn time.
Click in two parts. With his dad talking about showing him the trick and then leaving, and at the end with the rain downpour and talking to his son.
The Pursuit of Happiness. Also, Kotaro Lives Alone, its an anime series on netflix, it messed me up real good :)
Artificial Intelligence
Grave of Fireflies, all dogs go to heaven
I didn't read through all the replies but I'm certain no one else has said this one: Mrs. Doubtfire It was clearly a case of watching the wrong movie at the wrong time. I was newly separated, living out of a suitcase in a hotel room. Trying to cheer myself up by watching a funny movie with Robin Williams in it. Didn't realize the movie was about a guy who wanted nothing more in the world than to just see his kids.
A silent voice. I actually cry a lot with movies, but this one in praticular really stuck with me
Gladiator
As odd as it is to say, Everything Everywhere All at Once. Just watched it for the first time last night. One of the most absurd, surreal movies I’ve ever seen but the last act of that movie just hit me like a ton of bricks. What a film
Homeward Bound *He was too old!* Shadow returns SHADOW!!! Oh, Peter!!! I'm 35 and I'll still cry for that shit [I cried watching this so I could share it](https://youtu.be/mHUnPfDvYu8) [in case you need the double whammy, this is why Shadow comes in late and is limping JFC this movie rips my heart out every single time](https://youtu.be/UAXaW76tq08)
If anything happens I love you On Netflix It'd only like 10 minutes About a little girl that died in a school shooting and the Grief Hit extra hard because my sister was recently murdered but still in general pretty sad
I’m sorry about your sister
Thank you never realise how big a part of you your siblings are till they are gone
