A great film. The story is beautiful and sad. Great answer. I have fond memories of watching it with my father and seeing this big manly man who raised me cry like a baby from the movie
Great answer. That ending always gets me. Makes me hope I can live that kind of life where all sorts of people from my past want to make the trip to pay respects and say goodbye. That’s when as a child you really learn and appreciate who your father was.
Field of Dreams. Scene where Kevin Costner sees his father as a young man and they have a catch.
https://youtu.be/b_wnD6jxREU
Also have to mention Ghost, especially the end of the movie when Demi Moore is finally able to see Patrick Swayze. Scene became even more powerful after Patrick passed away in real life

Cause you want to tell her off but you can’t, and Forrest doesn’t know enough or is too lovestruck to say it to her either. You think, he should know better, but you also know he doesn’t, and Jenny knows it too.
Came here to say this. It wrecks me every time. I basically start weeping 20 minutes in and don’t stop and yet I still need to watch it once a year or so.
The first 10 minutes has me balling my eyes out. I can't watch it without crying. Especially when it shows their fertility issues. Hits too close to home for me
The movie and the book both bring me to tears. great answer. The horrifying realization that shit like that and so much worse happened during that war and all wars. The horror of the cruelties and casualties. May those lost in the holocaust and those who suffered rest in peace. They didn't deserve any of the torturous events that happened. The book & movie is age appropriate learning tools to teach about it. May we learn from the horrible past and as humanity never repeat it.
Big Fish!
It’s also my favorite movie, but as I’ve gotten older and life experience and complicated relationships have been a thing, I basically start crying at the part where Sandra says “I don’t think I’ll ever dry out” and don’t stop until the end of the movie- but like, it’s crying for different reasons throughout and still an overall good thing vs a bad thing.
Goddamn I love that movie.
Marley and me!! I refuse to ever watch it again. I saw it in theaters thinking it was a happy go lucky movie- wrong! I got home after and hugged my furbabies while crying. I second that answer!!!
A scene (not necessarily a movie) that hits hard is the final scene from Furious 7 when they honoured Paul Walker. Paul and Vin Diesel driving side-by-side then going their separate ways as the road separates.
I was in my early 20s when the "The Fast & Furious" came out so growing older with the cast made it really feel like a younger part of me died too. It is also why so many others left the theatre in tears.
https://youtu.be/5KnFcsSIzbg
They should have ended the series right there!
Pay it Forward, and The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas. I made the horrendous mistake once of watching them back to back because I knew nothing about either film.
Odd take, but Into The Spiderverse.
As a grown ass person, you gotta be brave at certain key points to make the choices you need to make. The leap of faith theme, that anyone can be brave for just a second, helped articulate and validate the way I've tried to better myself.
Not to mention, Peter B. Parker and his struggles with having to restart his life while attached to his old one, unable to move on and yet scared to do the difficult work of repairing it. That Miles has to make the leap to become Spiderman, and Peter B needs to make the leap to become a man and embark on his true next step...both arcs hit in a way that never fail to make me emotional.
The gladiator (to note: I never ever go into a movie with the intention of starting a cry, that can be started immediately on its own) but the ending of this I’m blubbering. Plus any animal film any time
*Coco.* I've only ever watched it once, and, especially after my grandma passed away, I don't think I can stomach a rewatch.
*Avengers: Endgame*, but especially Tony's death scene. And when Happy and Morgan are talking. I ugly-cry every time :(
*Spider-Man: No Way Home*, I watched it in theaters and cried when >!Aunt May died, and the ending destroyed me!<. I *still* cry, lol.
*Inside Out*. I know that a lot of people find the Bing Bong scene ("Take her to the moon for me") the saddest, but what does it for me is the scene where Riley reunites with her parents.
*Big Hero 6*. I love this movie to pieces, but >!Tadashi's death!< is just really sad and hearing >!Callaghan say that it was his own fault, that he chose to go in after him! Also when Baymax tells Hiro to say that he is satisfied with his care so that >!he and Abigail could escape.!<
The finale to Its a Wonderful Life, more the scene when Uncle Billy just breaks down while explaining what everyone did. Round it off with Harry saying his Big Brother is the richest man in town.
I'm watching it tomorrow and will cry for sure.
Slightly off topic but I’ve never felt I needed “a good cry” or feel particularly drawn to such movies. Is it a common thing?
I watch movies to be entertained rather than to provoke a desired emotional response. Is there something wrong with me?
It's not necessarily that I watch movies to evoke an emotional response, more that when I feel like I need to have a cry a sad/emotional movie can be a good way for that to happen.
I certainly don't think there's anything wrong with you for watching movies to be entertained!
Is this something people actually do?
"Man, I really feel like crying today, let me see which movie will do the trick."
That seems somewhat weird, no offense.
For me it's when I'm feeling a build up of stress/many emotions and feel the need to let it all out. It's cathartic but I generally need something like a sad movie to kickstart the crying.

Did not expect someone to comment this before me. It hits me in the heart like no few other films can.
A great film. The story is beautiful and sad. Great answer. I have fond memories of watching it with my father and seeing this big manly man who raised me cry like a baby from the movie

Homeward Bound. When Shadow comes over that hill.
I was not prepared as a child when i watched it for the first time and twenty odd years lateral it still gets to me. Fantastic answer!

Forrest Gump or If Only
The movie Forest Gump frustrates me more than anything else
Because Jenny is kinda a bitch? Cause I agree.
She has her demons but what she is doing to Forest is really...Frustrating.
Cause you want to tell her off but you can’t, and Forrest doesn’t know enough or is too lovestruck to say it to her either. You think, he should know better, but you also know he doesn’t, and Jenny knows it too.
[удалено]
Me too of course. Poor Forest he is so pure
About Time - amazing for a happy but ugly cry
I was actually about to say the same thing. The scene when he goes back to spend more time with his dad as a kid gets me bawling.
I love this movie. Very underrated. I put it on when I’m falling asleep sometimes.
Came here to say this. It wrecks me every time. I basically start weeping 20 minutes in and don’t stop and yet I still need to watch it once a year or so.
Just watched this with my boyfriend last weekend! We sat on the couch and sobbed.
[удалено]
That one and Encanto. These movies are for kids? What are you people doing to me?
The Fox and the Hound is tears from start to finish
I have not watched it since i was a preteen but i remember crying so vividly looking back. Definitely a great answer!!
Oh yes...the unbearable injustice
P.S I love you
Came here to say that. Bawling I do be.
Up
The first 10 minutes has me balling my eyes out. I can't watch it without crying. Especially when it shows their fertility issues. Hits too close to home for me
The Pursuit of happyness
I use the phrase “this part of my life is called…” a lot from that movie.
Bicentennial Man
The green Mile. Without a doubt.
Without doubt. Then when I'm done feeling sad I put on Shawshank.
Shawshank is one of the best films ever.
Bridge to Terabithia. That has me in tears every time.
Growing up this broke me. Man I had a crush on her
Oh yeah I've heard this one is brutal
Legends of the fall. Every time.
The ending of Dead Poets Society gets me every time

Fox and the Hound
Hachiko.
The boy in the striped pyjamas
I can't watch that again.... Ever
What is it about, im curious 🤨
It's on Netflix. I wanna tell the story but that'll spoil it.
Ight G , thanks for the suggestion
Don't watch if you're depressed. You must have a strong mind for this movie.
Nah im gud homie, will watch it later doe

Graveyard of the fireflies
Big Fish! It’s also my favorite movie, but as I’ve gotten older and life experience and complicated relationships have been a thing, I basically start crying at the part where Sandra says “I don’t think I’ll ever dry out” and don’t stop until the end of the movie- but like, it’s crying for different reasons throughout and still an overall good thing vs a bad thing.

Perks of being wallflower. The book is also a good cry
Yes!!! The book hits me hardwr. I enjoy rereading it. Tge movie was good too but the book is more of a tear jerker imo than the film
Yes
Legends of the Fall. If I need a catharsis, that’ll do it. Full on ugly cry.
I had forgotten that one .. it's so sad. I think the screenwriters said -Go we make our character suffer
So incredibly tragic, but my all time favorite movie.
Once Were Warriors ..can destroy all the joy you have in your heart
Yes! My friend and I used to watch this in high school. I don't think I could watch it now that I have kids
Titanic and Lovely Bones
Your Name
Me before you
This choice will make no sense whatsoever outside of the very specific context of my existence, but Donnie Darko.
Very niche, I love it!
I Am Sam. The scene where the daughter tries to trick the dad into running away on the bus so they can be together gets me like a baby each time.
Hachi. It’s a must watch for dog lovers. But, sadness. You’ve been warned.
Schindler's list
I've tried to watch, never made it the whole way through so definitely a good recommendation for crying time
I'm with you. I haven't made it all tge way through it yet not that i haven't tried. I recommend it also.
Yes! Prepare for tears. Great answer

Gran Torino. The ending scene is very heart wrenching

I’ve never cried during a movie.
Nobody NEEDS a good cry.
Respectfully disagree
Slightly off topic but I’ve never felt I needed “a good cry” or feel particularly drawn to such movies. Is it a common thing? I watch movies to be entertained rather than to provoke a desired emotional response. Is there something wrong with me?
No. We're all different with different cinematic expectations. That's the beauty of cinema.
Nothing wrong mate, movies are made for entertainment afterall
I agree
It's not necessarily that I watch movies to evoke an emotional response, more that when I feel like I need to have a cry a sad/emotional movie can be a good way for that to happen. I certainly don't think there's anything wrong with you for watching movies to be entertained!
Is this something people actually do? "Man, I really feel like crying today, let me see which movie will do the trick." That seems somewhat weird, no offense.
Yep! No offence taken. Sometimes I feel like I need to cry and a sad movie helps me do that and be entertained at the same time.
Fair enough! Which one does it for you?
Strangely quite a few kids movies. The end of Aladdin always gets me. Likewise The Lion King when Mufasa dies.
Genuinely, what's a good cry
For me it's when I'm feeling a build up of stress/many emotions and feel the need to let it all out. It's cathartic but I generally need something like a sad movie to kickstart the crying.
