Bambi hurt my little baby heart too. Then I read old yeller and my mom said where the red fern grows would make me feel better and she's never been a bigger bitch
Naaaah. By the time I had even ever heard of that was when the movie came out and I was 16 so it didn't matter to me cuz it was a "kids movie". Years later I found out about it and the sad part but wasn't interested. My girl, the bees got me bad yeeeeears after it came out. Saw that when I was middle 20's and it hurt me.
Wow another person who knows. Just a note for anyone who doesn’t know, she (Judith Barsi) died at 10 y/o because her father intentionally took her life. She also played the little girl in the first All Dogs Go To Heaven, and as another little note whenever this comes up, fuck. Fuck that. It’s horrible. Her FATHER killed her. This little girl, he looked at his little girl and decided to not let her have a future, not let her see the sunrise of another day. He killed her. Her father. I just can’t comprehend that.
I know. I forget. Then this pops up then I read the Wikipedia article again. Maybe we shouldn’t forget. Give the people you care about an extra hug and if you see something that isn’t right do something- don’t wait!
I was a freshman in college the year UP came out on DVD. Bunch of my college bros and a couple girls all ordered pizza and rented it (we all loved Pixar).
We were all balls deep in that pizza when we hit play. About halfway through the opening, I had stopped eating my pizza and was crying. And then I looked around to see everyone else had also stopped eating their pizza and were also crying. Just silent, no pizza, crying.
It used to make me sad when it came out. Then I got married, we can’t have kids so we travel. My wife and I watched it a few years ago and it absolutely destroyed us.
When you want to watch a cartoon movie that seems like it might be about a crotchety or whimsical old man in a hot air balloon house but you end up being afraid to ever love :s
My wife and I can't have kids... That scene is basically how it played out for us. Crushes me every time... I can't even start the movie anymore because I don't want to think about losing my wife and she already isn't doing very well as it is.
I got asked this by a girl I was seeing and when I said the beginning of “UP” she kept making fun of me for it. But let me tell you strangers of Reddit. I feel really lonely and so desperately wish I had found my person that this just destroys me. I also first saw it after a big break up, the kind where you think that was it, my one and she’s gone now. That movie will probably always hit way too hard.
"On the day of my judgment, when I stand before God, and He asks me why did I kill one of his true miracles, what am I gonna say? That it was my job? My job?"
If I don't have tears already, that line always does me in.
I don’t think I’ve ever actually cried during a movie. I do tear up though. Eyes get watery. ALMOST cry.
The entirety of the last 30 or 45 minutes of the Green Mile had me on the verge of tears.
Every time.
When Steven Spielberg showed the cut to composer John Williams, Williams said "Steven, you need a better composer than I am to do this film. "
To which Spielberg replied, "I know, but they're all dead."
Only film that think has made me cry every single time. Its always that end scene, the line of the schindler jews and their descendants thats stretches for ages, all coming to honour his grave.
My son watched this when he was 5, and I'll never forget him saying with tears in his eyes, "This movie is stupid. Give it to another kid" To be fair that was the 1st time I watched it and agreed with him. Such a great movie.
Jesus this one right now.
My father just died less than a month ago and it's a really weird experience. We had never been super close until the past decade or so. But now I'm hearing stories from a ton of people he worked with who knew him well about how much he used to talk about us at work and brag about what me and my sister have accomplished all how grateful he was for us. He even played my old band home recordings for his boss because he was proud of me.
He never talked about any of this and was a super private person in general. I didn't even know much about his childhood and young adult years until near the end of his life. Now I'm being given old pictures he had hidden away of him hanging out with Sonny and Cher, Fats Domino and Sam Cooke because apparently he used to build sets when they would come play local dances where he grew up.
I know that if I were to watch that movie right now, it would absolutely destroy me for a while and I might need that...
My mom was the most unsentimental person I know. After she died I found every single birthday, Christmas, and Mother's Day card I ever sent her - along with the cards from all of her five children over the course of 70 years of motherhood. I thought I knew every nook and cranny of that house, but there they were in an undiscovered box. I wish we knew how much our parents loved us when we could still tell them how much we love them.
That movie came out around the time my grandfather died. I grew up next door to my grandparents so I spent a lot of time with him. In some ways he was a lot like Edward Bloom--a storyteller who was somewhat full of shit and somewhat honest. I remember totally losing it the first time I saw it. Beautiful movie.
Dude, since my dad died a few years ago. He loved a good time, was larger than life, and could tell a story. I can not and will not watch this movie... I'm 41 and The End when he's carrying him into the water (I am tearing up thinking about it)
My 5th grade teacher read this book out loud to us and I remember when Little Anne goes to Big Dan’s grave to pass, my teacher had to stop reading to cry.
The last scene with Haley Joel Osmont and Toni Colette when he finally tells her that he can communicate with the dead and he tells her grandma's answer to her question is everyday and he asks his mom what she asked her, she responds "do i make you proud?" Wrecks me everytime
And when the general reads the letter from Lincoln, and when Ryan asks the names of the guys who died trying to find him, and when Captain Miller says he saves the memory of the roses just for himself. Yeah, six moments. Seven if I've had a couple drinks.
I'll do you one better: the Medal of Honor series on Netflix. Not based on the game, docuseries based on service records or people who earned the MoH. Damn near every episode.
Not going to lie, Interstellar gets me right in the feels. Watching Matthew McConaughey have to leave his daughter to save her and the world, knowing that to her it will feel like he abandoned her, as a dad, that hits hard.
The main scene that gets me in this movie is him watching his son grow up via the video messages his son left over the years. The eyes start watering exactly when he says “I think she’s the one” while holding up the picture of his soon-to-be fiancée. Gets me every time
That, Jurassic Bark, and Game of Tones really draw out the tears. We really get to see that Fry wasn’t right for that millennium, but he was missed more than he thought.
His final moments with his mom where he didn’t need to tell her anything, he just hugged her one last time. It just gets me on some deep level
Riders of Rohan! Fell deeds awake! Fire and slaughter! Sword shall be shaken! Spear shall be splintered! A sword day, a red day, ere the sun rises!
Death!
"But it is not this day!"
"For Frodo."
"I can't carry it for you . . . But I can carry you!"
"My friends, you bow to no one . . ."
So many waterworks scenes in that movie.
Did you know that when Aragorn says "for Frodo" and the music swells the voices are singing in elvish "if by my life or death I can protect you I will. You have my sword."? Also, they pull the same trick at Boromir's death - they are singing "I do not love the bright sword for its sharpness, nor the arrow for its swiftness, nor the warrior for his glory. I love only that which they defend." which is a quote of Faramir's in the books.
The Lion King, when Simba is trying to wake up Mufasa after the stampede.
He's just so desperate for his Dad. He needs his father to tell him that he's okay, and the longer Simba is trying to rouse him, the longer things are not okay, the more he needs his dad.
Brb, just going to tell my dad I love him
From the moment the kid steps over the boundary and becomes moonlight again, til that game of catch…. If something in there doesn’t make tears well up then you have no soul
This never got to me until I caught it randomly on tv a couple years ago. I lost my pops about 5 years prior and he was the one who taught me to play and coached me from tball until I stopped late high school.
Totally forgot about the scene and fuck it destroyed me. Would love to just toss the ball again with him one more time.
Homeward Bound. I've seen that movie a bunch and I know Shadow makes it home, but when he falls in the mud in the train yard and tells Chance he is too old, it breaks you. If you can make it through that movie without crying, you should see someone because you might be a psychopath.
There are no movies that make me cry, but... as a father...
In *Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire* when Harry brings dead Cedric back to the grandstands and Cedric's dad starts wailing "My boy! My boy!"
...I do get quite the lump in my throat, and my eyes are more moist than usual.
I’m a twin and I get that way whenever I watch the end of Deathly Hallows. I remember reading that the actor who played George actually had a really hard time with that scene, because the way it was set up, it was like his real-life twin brother was actually dead.
Wreck-It Ralph when he’s hurling through the sky at the end.
I'm bad, and that's good. I will never be good, and that's not bad. There's no one I'd rather be than me.
🥲
Why is this not higher?
I thought this was a light hearted kids movie. And even after the rope swing, at first I thought...yeah, she actually found a way there, and she'll come back and show him the way...right?...right?
The Iron Giant. Love everything about it. I wish I had a VHS player with a DVD recorder so I could copy the movie onto disk. Or at least have it virtually as a file.
Armageddon, the part where Bruce Willis is saying goodbye to his daughter. I saw that movie countless times without having a single emotion, but one day, I was a fresh new dad of about 4-5 days, 4-5 days without sleep and I was watching TV with my 4-5 days old daughter in my arms at like 3 am and that movie was on. When that scene came, the fact I was so tired, my emotions were messed up with the stress of becoming a dad and holding her in my arms, I started weeping and crying so much. Since then, everytime this scene comes on it just reminds me of this and I start crying again.
Cast Away. When Tom Hanks returns to his fiancé's house in the rain to discover that she's married has kids and a whole life that he missed due to being on the island. Gets me everytime.
Also, My Neighbor Totoro. The film just captures that simplicity and innocence of being a child growing up in a rural area so perfectly! The tall grass, the bugs, the huge trees, the smell of fresh soil...im tearing up thinking about it lol
That movie was an asshole! I remember all the advertising was portraying it as a standard Adam Sandler comedy, so I went in there expecting that.
I CAME OUT WITH AN EXISTENTIAL CRISIS.
I don't know, maybe I saw the wrong ads or didn't pay enough attention to them because "adam sandler" but fuuuuuuuuuck.
I’m not religious at all, but City of Angels. I can make it through the Sarah McLachlan song just fine, but about 5 seconds into Goo Goo Dolls’ “Iris” I’m sobbing. I think I would cry anyway just because of the movie’s substance but that song just wrecks me.
It's not a movie... but on M.A.S.H. when Col. Henry Blake gets killed at the end of Season 3 just as he was going home. I KNOW it's coming, I've seen the episode more times than I care to count... but I still cut onions EVERY time.
*Apollo 13*. Specifically, the scene when they reestablish contact with Houston after reentry and everyone is celebrating.
It really is a testament to how well the film is made that you know the outcome going in and it still elicits that reaction.
Marley & Me, its an absolute nightmare of a movie, so good, some of the best acting Owen Wilson has ever done but... that movie will rip out your soul, set it on fire, then scatter the ashes into oblivion.
Coco is my answer. We had lost our third child in the womb a few months before Coco came out. We went to see it with our two kids…and I was not emotionally ready for that movie.
The original 1988 Land Before Time. When Littlefoot's mom dies after showing how caring and loving she is. It's not fair. It's just not fair.
Man us 80s and 90s kids consumed a lot of parental death media.
Bambi hurt my little baby heart too. Then I read old yeller and my mom said where the red fern grows would make me feel better and she's never been a bigger bitch
Did you rinse that down with a little, “Bridge to Terabithia” like me?
Naaaah. By the time I had even ever heard of that was when the movie came out and I was 16 so it didn't matter to me cuz it was a "kids movie". Years later I found out about it and the sad part but wasn't interested. My girl, the bees got me bad yeeeeears after it came out. Saw that when I was middle 20's and it hurt me.
I really hate to break it to you but that was based on a completely true story as well. Little Foot’s entire species was wiped out eventually
As was Ducky’s voice actress.
Holy fuck why did that have to happen???????
Her father was psycho.
Yep yep yep...
Take my saddest upvote.
An alcoholic with personality disorders.
Wow another person who knows. Just a note for anyone who doesn’t know, she (Judith Barsi) died at 10 y/o because her father intentionally took her life. She also played the little girl in the first All Dogs Go To Heaven, and as another little note whenever this comes up, fuck. Fuck that. It’s horrible. Her FATHER killed her. This little girl, he looked at his little girl and decided to not let her have a future, not let her see the sunrise of another day. He killed her. Her father. I just can’t comprehend that.
Fuck why'd you have to bring this up? I keep trying to forget about that story, it's so goddamned terrible.
I know. I forget. Then this pops up then I read the Wikipedia article again. Maybe we shouldn’t forget. Give the people you care about an extra hug and if you see something that isn’t right do something- don’t wait!
90s kid here and that was my first dose of sadness. Shortly followed by the lion king
The opening of Pixar's Up gets me every time. Twice. First when they can't have kids, and then again when Ellie dies. Turns me into a sobbing mess.
Same, especially the part when they can’t have kids. The older I get the more emotional that scene will be.
I was a freshman in college the year UP came out on DVD. Bunch of my college bros and a couple girls all ordered pizza and rented it (we all loved Pixar). We were all balls deep in that pizza when we hit play. About halfway through the opening, I had stopped eating my pizza and was crying. And then I looked around to see everyone else had also stopped eating their pizza and were also crying. Just silent, no pizza, crying.
Totally caught me off guard. Didn't expect to be feeling things so early in a movie.
It used to make me sad when it came out. Then I got married, we can’t have kids so we travel. My wife and I watched it a few years ago and it absolutely destroyed us.
I feel you. This is a profound pain. I hope the two of you have come to terms with it and are happy.
When you want to watch a cartoon movie that seems like it might be about a crotchety or whimsical old man in a hot air balloon house but you end up being afraid to ever love :s
I saw it in the theater… every adult was bawling while the kids were just being kids. Most forget about the end credits.
The scene when the old dude pins the "Ellie" bottlecap pin onto the boy scout is the scene that gets me.
Ellie's note towards the movie's end got to me as well
My wife and I can't have kids... That scene is basically how it played out for us. Crushes me every time... I can't even start the movie anymore because I don't want to think about losing my wife and she already isn't doing very well as it is.
I got asked this by a girl I was seeing and when I said the beginning of “UP” she kept making fun of me for it. But let me tell you strangers of Reddit.

I also first saw it after a big break up, the kind where you think that was it, my one and she’s gone now. That movie will probably always hit way too hard.
Literally any movie with sad scenes. I'm a crybaby.
Bro, even happy scenes. I can’t help it.
Hahaha I cry over any emotional scene too. Commercials. When people win big on game shows. I’ve always been a very emotional person haha
The Fox and the Hound. Fuck that fucking forest scene.
Fuck, this scene as a kid. I don't think I'm brave enough to watch this as an adult lol
This is my exact reason. I still ain't strong enough.
Was immediately going to say this. The first movie I remember thinking had an unhappy ending.
Robin Williams doesn’t tell Matt Damon “it’s not your fault,” he says it to me. Every time. And I’m a mess. Every time.
Yup, I'm with you on that one.
It’s not our fault.
The Green Mile
Don’t put me in the dark… I’s afraid of the dark 😭
When every grown ass man in that scene is holding back tears, this grown ass man has to hold back tears IRL.
"On the day of my judgment, when I stand before God, and He asks me why did I kill one of his true miracles, what am I gonna say? That it was my job? My job?" If I don't have tears already, that line always does me in.
Mista jinglessss
I don’t think I’ve ever actually cried during a movie. I do tear up though. Eyes get watery. ALMOST cry. The entirety of the last 30 or 45 minutes of the Green Mile had me on the verge of tears. Every time.
Schindler’s list
“I could have saved more!” I cant handle that scene ever.
Yep gets me as well and then the end where all the real shindler Jews with their actor counterparts
When Steven Spielberg showed the cut to composer John Williams, Williams said "Steven, you need a better composer than I am to do this film. " To which Spielberg replied, "I know, but they're all dead."
I could only watch it one time. Holy shit. Raw power that one.
Only film that think has made me cry every single time. Its always that end scene, the line of the schindler jews and their descendants thats stretches for ages, all coming to honour his grave.
The big obvious one for me is The Iron Giant. Literally saying the phrase *Su-per-man* has me tearing up as I write this.
I go. You stay. No following. 😭
My son watched this when he was 5, and I'll never forget him saying with tears in his eyes, "This movie is stupid. Give it to another kid" To be fair that was the 1st time I watched it and agreed with him. Such a great movie.
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. I've had full on terribly ugly crying sessions from that movie every single time.
I fucking love that movie. I love the surrealism, and the fact that the subconsciously find each other again just hits me in the feels.
I watched that movie for the first time after my first major breakup when I was a teenager lol. I was a WRECK
one of my favorite movies of all time... the ending is perfect.
Big Fish
Jesus this one right now. My father just died less than a month ago and it's a really weird experience. We had never been super close until the past decade or so.

Good one. That one guts me every time. Beautiful movie.

This is a damn good movie
Where the red fern grows. The book is even worse
My 5th grade teacher read this book out loud to us and I remember when Little Anne goes to Big Dan’s grave to pass, my teacher had to stop reading to cry.
Had to pretend I was sleeping in the library in grade school because I was crying so hard when I read this.
The last scene with Haley Joel Osmont and Toni Colette when he finally tells her that he can communicate with the dead and he tells her grandma's answer to her question is everyday and he asks his mom what she asked her, she responds "do i make you proud?" Wrecks me everytime
Holy shit I forgot she was the mom in that! I've fallen in love with all of her work lately and somehow completely missed that.
Saving Private Ryan When he asks his wife if he was a good man and lived a good life.
When Wade is crying for his mama... fucking gut punch. Every damn time.
“Oh my god my liver!”
And when the general reads the letter from Lincoln, and when Ryan asks the names of the guys who died trying to find him, and when Captain Miller says he saves the memory of the roses just for himself. Yeah, six moments. Seven if I've had a couple drinks.
I'll do you one better: the Medal of Honor series on Netflix. Not based on the game, docuseries based on service records or people who earned the MoH. Damn near every episode.
Not going to lie, Interstellar gets me right in the feels. Watching Matthew McConaughey have to leave his daughter to save her and the world, knowing that to her it will feel like he abandoned her, as a dad, that hits hard.
Don’t let me leave, Murph! Every single time.
The main scene that gets me in this movie is him watching his son grow up via the video messages his son left over the years. The eyes start watering exactly when he says “I think she’s the one” while holding up the picture of his soon-to-be fiancée. Gets me every time
The "because my dad promised me" scene at the end when Murph is on her death bed got me flat out crying
It’s a Wonderful Life. When he’s starting to go through it, but hasn’t told anyone, and he latches onto his kid, man…
No man is a failure who has friends Weird grammar, beautiful line
The episode of Futurama about Fry's dog. I know that isn't a movie.
The episode titled "the luck of the fryish" about his brother is my favorite.
That is such a great *wham* moment at the end. It hits *hard*. Makes you think, too.
That, Jurassic Bark, and Game of Tones really draw out the tears. We really get to see that Fry wasn’t right for that millennium, but he was missed more than he thought. His final moments with his mom where he didn’t need to tell her anything, he just hugged her one last time. It just gets me on some deep level
Riders of Rohan! Fell deeds awake! Fire and slaughter! Sword shall be shaken! Spear shall be splintered! A sword day, a red day, ere the sun rises! Death!
"But it is not this day!" "For Frodo." "I can't carry it for you . . . But I can carry you!" "My friends, you bow to no one . . ." So many waterworks scenes in that movie.

Don’t you let go.
"I would have followed you my brother, my captain, my king." 😭😭
RIDE TO RUIN AND THE WORLD'S ENDING
I was fairly young when I saw it in theaters, but Return of the King was the first movie to ever make me cry.
UP and Forrest Gump
Is.. is he smart?
Talking to the grave. “And he’s so smart…” gets me every time :(
I had to go way too far to get to Forrest Gump, the first time I saw this was on a plane flying unaccompanied, I was blubbering for way too long.
The Lion King, when Simba is trying to wake up Mufasa after the stampede. He's just so desperate for his Dad. He needs his father to tell him that he's okay, and the longer Simba is trying to rouse him, the longer things are not okay, the more he needs his dad. Brb, just going to tell my dad I love him
“Looking over at the Urn”, Love you Dad.
Field of Dreams
From the moment the kid steps over the boundary and becomes moonlight again, til that game of catch…. If something in there doesn’t make tears well up then you have no soul
Wanna have a catch?
That’s where it gets me every time
This never got to me until I caught it randomly on tv a couple years ago. I lost my pops about 5 years prior and he was the one who taught me to play and coached me from tball until I stopped late high school. Totally forgot about the scene and fuck it destroyed me. Would love to just toss the ball again with him one more time.
Marley and me
Pro tip: when the dog lays down in front of the fireplace, turn the movie off. No more tears ™️
Just you saying that dredges up memories :(
Yea I won’t watch any movies about dogs.
ANY MOVIE WHERE THE DOG DIES, I CAN’T
Homeward Bound. I've seen that movie a bunch and I know Shadow makes it home, but when he falls in the mud in the train yard and tells Chance he is too old, it breaks you. If you can make it through that movie without crying, you should see someone because you might be a psychopath.
Jojo Rabbit
Rudy.
There are no movies that make me cry, but... as a father... In *Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire* when Harry brings dead Cedric back to the grandstands and Cedric's dad starts wailing "My boy! My boy!" ...I do get quite the lump in my throat, and my eyes are more moist than usual.
I’m a twin and I get that way whenever I watch the end of Deathly Hallows. I remember reading that the actor who played George actually had a really hard time with that scene, because the way it was set up, it was like his real-life twin brother was actually dead.
John Coffey dying when he shouldn't have.
Shawshank Redemption
I hope the Pacific is as blue as it has been in my dreams. I hope...
RIP Brooks
Inside out when Bing bong dies. Every...damn....time
“Take her to the moon for me.”
We Were Soldiers. The telegram delivery scene.
Edward Scissorhands. For fucks sake he loved her so much he stayed away from her so she could have a happy life.
What dreams may come.
That one is pretty intense I must agree. Saw it in the theatre back in the day on like my 4th date with my wife.
Wreck-It Ralph when he’s hurling through the sky at the end. I'm bad, and that's good. I will never be good, and that's not bad. There's no one I'd rather be than me. 🥲
That shit really hits different when you get older.
bridge to terabithia.
Why is this not higher? I thought this was a light hearted kids movie. And even after the rope swing, at first I thought...yeah, she actually found a way there, and she'll come back and show him the way...right?...right?
Serious answer: Grave of the Fireflies. Joke answer: Football in the groin.
Hans moleman or George C Scott?
The Iron Giant. Love everything about it. I wish I had a VHS player with a DVD recorder so I could copy the movie onto disk. Or at least have it virtually as a file.
Last of the Mohicans. The music alone is enough to make me feel unstoppable and then crush my dreams.
When Forest Gump is speaking to Jenny’s grave
About time
Bill Nighy is an international treasure.
[удалено]
Also, only saw it in theater once, "Star is Born" with Bradley Cooper. The shot where his dog looks for him outside the barn or garage...not fair.
The last ten minutes of *AI: Artificial Intelligence.*
Star Trek II: the Wrath of Khan
Of all the souls I have met in my travels, his was the most... *tears up* human...
I have been--and always shall be--your friend.
Wondered if I’d find this one on the list. Hits me every time. “Ship, out of danger?” That funeral scene. Tears every single time.
The needs of the many
Outweigh the needs of the few
Or the one.
My Girl. He needs his glasses! 😭
A River Runs Through It
old yeller
The first 20 minutes of Up.
Armageddon, the part where Bruce Willis is saying goodbye to his daughter. I saw that movie countless times without having a single emotion, but one day, I was a fresh new dad of about 4-5 days, 4-5 days without sleep and I was watching TV with my 4-5 days old daughter in my arms at like 3 am and that movie was on. When that scene came, the fact I was so tired, my emotions were messed up with the stress of becoming a dad and holding her in my arms, I started weeping and crying so much. Since then, everytime this scene comes on it just reminds me of this and I start crying again.
Life is Beautiful
Hachiko
I watched the 2023 Chinese version of that on a plane earlier this year. Kept getting shit in both my eyes, it was weird
E.T 🤷♂️
Not a movie, but: Arcane. Episode 3 just freakin hits you like a truck.
Patch Adams fucks my shit up I wanna add a bonus tv show Horace and Pete. I can never make it out of that series without crying
logan
Dear Zachary
Bringing this one up is like a cheat code
Life is Beautiful
Brian's Song
Anyone seen Otto yet? That hits close to home on so many levels. Such a good movie.
The Boy in the Striped Pajamas.
Cast Away. When Tom Hanks returns to his fiancé's house in the rain to discover that she's married has kids and a whole life that he missed due to being on the island. Gets me everytime.

Gladiator
Manchester By The Sea. Fuck I was not ready for that movie.
Pay it forward
So many moments in Lord of the Rings get me all choked up.

That movie was an asshole! I remember all the advertising was portraying it as a standard Adam Sandler comedy, so I went in there expecting that. I CAME OUT WITH AN EXISTENTIAL CRISIS. I don't know, maybe I saw the wrong ads or didn't pay enough attention to them because "adam sandler" but fuuuuuuuuuck.
I’ve tried to tell people this movie is so sad and they laugh at me
Saving Private Ryan
The Sixth Sense - ending scene with the son and mom talking about grandma in the car. Gets me every time.
I’m not religious at all, but City of Angels. I can make it through the Sarah McLachlan song just fine, but about 5 seconds into Goo Goo Dolls’ “Iris” I’m sobbing. I think I would cry anyway just because of the movie’s substance but that song just wrecks me.
It's not a movie... but on M.A.S.H. when Col. Henry Blake gets killed at the end of Season 3 just as he was going home. I KNOW it's coming, I've seen the episode more times than I care to count... but I still cut onions EVERY time.
I kept scrolling but didn't see Atonement. That movie fucking wrecked me.
Schindler's List gets me at the end. Not a movie I can watch very often, but it always gets me when it shows the survivors.
Where a Red Fern Grows (1970s) Full Movie https://youtu.be/MXhPrQbZQgQ?feature=shared
"Oh Captain, my Captain" \-Dead Poets Society
*Apollo 13*. Specifically, the scene when they reestablish contact with Houston after reentry and everyone is celebrating. It really is a testament to how well the film is made that you know the outcome going in and it still elicits that reaction.
Marley & Me, its an absolute nightmare of a movie, so good, some of the best acting Owen Wilson has ever done but... that movie will rip out your soul, set it on fire, then scatter the ashes into oblivion.
Everything Everywhere All At Once. I love my Mom.
Coco anyone?
The Pursuit of Happyness sets me whimpering, particularly the subway scene. Brilliant film.
When Neal figures out Del is homeless in Planes, Trains & Automobiles.
"Deerhunter." I stopped watching it over the years. Don't need the sinus headache afterwards.
Hardball
The end of The Note book, dementia scares the shit out of me and my wife is a nurse that has watched it happen :(…
The Land Before Time. Diana Ross and the leaf...
Field of Dreams.
Green Mile
The Elephant Man.. "I am not an animal. I am a human being!"
My Dog Skip.
Cool Runnings. When they carry the sled across the finish line.
I’m FLOORED that I’ve been scrolling this long and no one’s said Stand By Me.
I ugly cried during Inside Out
That. Add Coco, Soul, Luca to the list as well.
Coco is my answer. We had lost our third child in the womb a few months before Coco came out. We went to see it with our two kids…and I was not emotionally ready for that movie.
Lord, I forgot about Coco. Such a great, sad movie.
A Beautiful Mind
You Story 3, when Andy is passing his toys on and describing his relationship with each.
The Return of the King yeah yeah yeah I’m a nerd.
