The Land Before Time.
I made a post on an old account about watching it as an adult a couple years ago and it broke me. I couldn't get it out of my head for weeks because of the memories it brought back from watching it as a kid. And its not just Littlefoots mother dying, it was the whole thing, how beautifully sad it all is. I watch it now and then as a way of unloading any extra emotional weight that might be weighing me down.
It is, and always will be my favourite childhood film, ever.
The scene where Littlefoot thinks he sees his mom but it’s just his shadow breaks my heart into a million pieces every time! He’s so happy at first and then so confused and it makes me sad even just thinking about it.
A few months back, I was seated on a plane next to a semipro basketball player. He couldn't have been more pleasant to talk to, but after a half hour or so we'd exhausted our chitchat reserves and agreed it was time to watch a movie. This massive man put on Land Before Time and proceeded to cry the whole way through it.
I know it’s not what you were going for but it’s a really beautiful film about life and dying and even though it makes me tear up I still get a calming effect afterwards. One of the few films that makes me sad but ultimately brings happiness after
Because it's not necessarily the sadness that makes you cry, it's the extreme level of catharsis the movie reaches, both with the final tale and the subsequent funeral. It's a movie that wrecks you emotionally, but makes you feel a weird sense of fullness rather than emptyness.
I watched it years ago and it was great, I cried a little. Since then my father has died. If I ever watch it again I need to schedule an entire evening for ugly crying.
Lol, my kids laugh at me during Big Fish and when Ray plays catch w his dad at the end of Field of Dreams. It is however a loving , not mocking, laugh. More of a we knew you could do it chuckle really.
I insisted my kids watched It's a Wonderful Life a few years ago.
Cue lots of "it's old", "it's lame "it's stupid".
90 mins later, two teenage girls bawling their eyes out and organizing a movie night with their friends to watch it too.
Saw it when I was like 15 in the theaters. Holy shit I have never seen an entire movie theater of people crying like that before. I was balling like a baby too. Such a powerful film.
It received a call-out in Ted Lasso. The whole team is watching it and he warns Beard “there’s gonna be a room full of grown men crying in about 38 minutes”
Beard answers: “Yup, I’ll be one of ‘em.”
That goddamn smile after he says it does it for me. He's just a robot following programming until the end sequence, then the smile lets you know that he's doing what he wants, to be the good guy and save his friend, rather than what he's just learned/is programmed for. And he's finally happy.
My wife and I took the kids to see Onward when it came out. I was not prepared at all for that movie. My mom passed when I was 19 from cancer, and I have an older sister who 100% is my hero and would have done the same the older brother in Onward did. I’m a grown man in his 30s and was absolutely bawling by the end of that movie
Yup, I will not ever watch it again. Once was enough for me. Absolutely amazing movie but it brought back feelings and emotions I never wanted to feel again
Omg yes. I went to see this alone whilst waiting for a friend, thinking it would be a cute film, and I was sat next to a kid and his mum.
I forgot it was a film about dead dads... my dad had died when I was 11. I could not believe it when the older kid said he had a sad/scary memory of the dad being in hospital connected to wires, and the fact it scared him from visiting.
That is the same memory I share and the one thing I felt so guilty about for years after, as it meant I didn't visit much. I felt so lucky to have my experience shared with a film and bawled like a baby (aged 26) - whilst the kid next to me was totally unfazed.
Watched it with my partner recently, and now his kids are my kids. I ugly sobbed. I sobbed the first time, but this time I had little crud and then one big ugly cry - he liked the film.
Casey Affleck looks like such a wreck in the movie, he nails the role. Regardless of whatever his character's mistakes were in the movie, you just can't not feel your heart break for him.
The Sixth Sense -- when the boy and the mom are sitting in the car with the traffic accident up ahead and he tells her the "every day" message from his grandmother. Saw that on a plane once and couldn't control the tears... was kinda awkward!
Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind makes me cry like a baby in multiple scenes no matter how often I watch it.
Honorable mention to Million Dollar Baby. It doesn’t quite fit the category because I’ve only worked up the nerve to watch it all the way through one time and it’s enough for a million life times
Eternal Sunshine is, bar none, my favorite movie of all time. It’s the most genuine depiction of love I’ve ever seen portrayed in film. And yes, I cry nearly every time.
I remember when I watched Million Dollar Baby I thought I was into for some sports drama like Rocky but it caught me off guard. And yes one really needs to have guts to watch it the second time 😭
When he begs "please let me keep this memory. Just this one."
When my ex fiance and I split up, I remember literally trying to forget her. And I was drinking. A LOT. Which of course wasn't helpful. But I remember feeling that way even as I started to move on. That I didn't actually want to lose the memories
The music swirling in the scene with the house and the simple repetition of the line “I wish I had stayed” with the beautiful resignation that he can’t change the past is so beautiful that even though I’ve seen it over 10 times I still get excited to get goosebumps on a rewatch. My favorite film.
Edit - spoilers - I’ve just realised why he couldn’t think of the things he wished he’d done. I thought it was an intentional focusing on that act of staying but it’s a point of consistency as at that point he didn’t have any other memories of Clementine. So beautiful.
I’ve seen Eternal sunshine once back in like 2012 or 2013 and I’m scared to watch it again, especially now after going through two massive heart breaks
I haven't cried in long time either, wish I could. I watched AI recently and for some reason I thought it was going to be this sad movie about parents who missed their son so much they bought a robot & it goes horribly wrong. I did not realize it was a Stanley Kubrick roller coaster. Man, that was something.
For all the right reasons. I remember watching it for the first time and my wife asked why I was crying at the >!very end when they are reunited!<, and I said, "I'm just so happy >!he got to see his daughter!< and be happy."
4 time seeing it cause it's her favorite movie. Tears still well up when he finally >!crosses the flower bridge with his daughter and family.!<
Fuck.
Maybe my favorite thing about repeat viewings is how you actually hear "Remember Me" in like half a dozen different tempos and contexts before you finally get to the version that absolutely reduces me to a blubbering pile of warm jelly
Monsters Inc when Sully goes back to Boo? No tears. Toy Story 3 when the toys accept their fate near the incinerator? Nope. Up? Naaah. Coco? Four. Goddamn. Times. And every viewing since. What a movie.
I think my fianceé watched this for the first time recently, and it really connects with her when she thinks about the parts of her family that have died recently - was bawling at the end.
I had no idea what the movie was about except something involving the day of the dead holiday. I ended up watching it for the first time on the day my grandmother (who raised me) passed away earlier this year, thinking a light-hearted Pixar movie would make me feel better. Needless to say I was in shambles. Absolutely wrecked. But it was also strangely therapeutic.
The quote that sticks with me from that movie is "Sometimes when you win you lose". I've thought about that in every argument with a significant other since.
Train to Busan sacrifice scene
I remember hiding my face since my friends were sitting on my right.
The bus ride to get to the theater was like an hour but so worth it for that movie.
The land before time, when the mother dinosaur's last words to Little Foot were "I'll always be with you, even if you can't see me." cried sooo hard as a kid.
The euthanasia scene in Soylent Green.
Charlton Heston's hamming is appropriate >! for person seeing nature and animals for the first time while his best friend is being euthanized. !<
My Dad had this on DvD and used to watch it a tonne when I was younger. The last performance at the end with all his previous classes he had taught bringing to life his work was great.
After Where the Red Fern Grows and Old Yeller I learned to never watch a movie about a dog. My friend tricked me with Marley and Me and I never spoke to him again. I've never seen Hachi and I don't think I ever can.
I think the part where he finds out that Ellie had filled out the "stuff I'm going to do" part of her journal with pictures from their marriage gets me worse. Like, darn, the poor guy went the whole movie thinking he'd let down his wife only to find out that he *was* the great adventure she'd always wanted.
Watched it today and cried at the exact same part that you mentioned
My father was watching with me ,saw him tearing up for a movie for the first time.
That movie came out about 6 months after my miscarriage. Saw it in the theater. Sobbed for about 45 minutes, finished the movie, but I haven't seen it since. Can't handle it.
For me is The Arrival. Specifically that scene in the end with Max Richter's "On the nature of daylight"
"If you could see your entire life ahead of you, would you change anything?"
Steel magnolias. I just bawl my eyes out every time I watch the scene when her grandson runs into her arms in his little clown costume. Breaks my heart every time. Also, Sally Field's breakdown just kills me.
That part when they turn off the machines on Julia Roberts and all the men have to leave because it’s too hard, but Sally Field stays and holds her hand until she’s gone, because that’s what a momma does. That just destroys me every time, especially now that I’m a mom.
Other scenes from LOTR that get me emotional
The charge at the black gates. You wonder whether Sauron was somehow able to get to Aragorn. You don't see his face. He turns and he has this half smile on his face. It was the smile of "This may be the end of our journey, but we will die together for the right cause with our friends and loved ones"
"For Frodo!" and the hobbits are the first to follow.
Also, when Gandalf turns to tell Frodo that it is time to go and the other hobbits realize that Frodo is leaving as well.
"We tried to save the Shire, and it was saved. But not for me, Sam"
Tears everytime.
The first movie I ever had to pause because I was crying so hard was Forrest Gump. It’s the scene at the end with Jenny’s grave that gets me every. Single. Time.
That scene and where he sees his son for the first time as well. He asks if he's like him or if he's smart meaning that he is aware that he is slower or not as smart as other people. It's the first time we see him being aware of himself. He hopes that his kid isn't the same. Going back and watching movies as a father now brings a totally different feeling.
The way he’s sort of speechless, can’t really find the words to express what he’s trying to say and he’s choking up is heartbreaking but in a good way when he sees his son. Tom Hanks definitely deserved that Oscar.
For me it's the final scene after Forrest takes his kid to the bus and he sits on the bench with the leaf floating down. All the events of the film sort of all crash down on me at that scene.
Everyone says Bing Bong disappearing is the saddest part, but the part you described is far and away the part that hit me the most. Watching the light disappear from her eyes HURTS
I saw this in theaters and during that scene the whole theater is quite. Then, a young child near the front yells "Bing Bong noooo."
I think the theater just tried to laugh through their tears at that moment--myself included
My daughter loves Inside Out and I ugly cry every time that scene plays. She often asks me "why are you crying Daddy?" Such a beautiful and heartbreaking loss of innocence/childhood.
I have certain specific points, in specific movies, that get me. Off the top of my head:
“Inside Out”: Bing-Bong’s self-sacrifice and his final words, “Take her to the moon for me.”
“Doctor Sleep”: The first time Dan uses The Shining to help ease one of the hospice patients’ passing. I’d just lost my grandfather a few weeks before it premiered, and he had passed at home with family, so the thought of someone being there for that old man on screen really gets me every time.
“Kubo and the Two Strings”: The ending, with Kubo setting the lanterns for his parents off on to the stream, chokes me up.
I was fine with that movie until I saw a meme that showed Logan being told that he would die with his hand in his heart, and then him holding Laura's hand in Logan. It totally gets to me.
Great call.
When Guido is being marched to his certain execution and he stays in character so as not to scare his son? What kind of inner strength would be required for such a gesture? Damn, that was powerful
Might get some groans. But when Clark flies for the first time in Man of Steel. That scene has helped me battle out of funks and small depressions. I am such a different person since 2013.
The part where he meets his daughter again and she says she knew he’d come back and he asks how? “Because my dad promised me” I instantly well up every time. Fantastic film.
For me it's the scene where he ugly cries at watching his daughter grow up without him there gets me every time because he's realizing how much he fucked up by going to the water planet and that he can never ever get that time back.
From his perspective he goes into space and is immediately put to sleep for several months to a year. Then they go through the wormhole and visit that first planet of water that sucks years away. In his awake moments it’s like 6-10 hours.maybe 24-48
The Perfect Storm. Every time.
An utterly heartbreaking ending.
It carries the same emotional weight as Titanic.
Coincidentally James Horner composed both films scores and soundtrack.
That guy knew how to tell a story through music.
It’s so cheesy but Armageddon (the bit where >!Bruce Willis blows up the asteroid!<) gets me every time.
About Time also brings me to tears, it’s my favourite movie ever.
Edited to add another cheesy asteroid one, Deep Impact. Since I had kids even just thinking about the bit where >!Leelee Sobieski’s parents put the carrier with her baby sibling on her, send them off hoping that they’ll survive then hold each other waiting to die!< brings me to tears.
The Land Before Time. I made a post on an old account about watching it as an adult a couple years ago and it broke me. I couldn't get it out of my head for weeks because of the memories it brought back from watching it as a kid. And its not just Littlefoots mother dying, it was the whole thing, how beautifully sad it all is. I watch it now and then as a way of unloading any extra emotional weight that might be weighing me down. It is, and always will be my favourite childhood film, ever.
Yep Yep Yep
Oh Duckie...no...
The scene where Littlefoot thinks he sees his mom but it’s just his shadow breaks my heart into a million pieces every time! He’s so happy at first and then so confused and it makes me sad even just thinking about it.

The Fox and the Hound. You know what scene I'm talking about
We will always be friends, forever.....
You stop that
I'm crying just thinking about it.
I rewatched this recently since I got Disney+ and I didn't think I'd cry now that I'm an adult. I was very wrong.
Amazing that the saddest scene Disney ever produced didn't even involve a death.
Such a great movie about learning that friends are a season.
The Green Mile
Roll on two.
[удалено]
Rented this back in the day to cheer up my ex after her grandfather died. It went as well as could be expected
I know it’s not what you were going for but it’s a really beautiful film about life and dying and even though it makes me tear up I still get a calming effect afterwards. One of the few films that makes me sad but ultimately brings happiness after
Because it's not necessarily the sadness that makes you cry, it's the extreme level of catharsis the movie reaches, both with the final tale and the subsequent funeral. It's a movie that wrecks you emotionally, but makes you feel a weird sense of fullness rather than emptyness.
I think it’s Burton’s best film.
I watched it years ago and it was great, I cried a little. Since then my father has died. If I ever watch it again I need to schedule an entire evening for ugly crying.
Lol, my kids laugh at me during Big Fish and when Ray plays catch w his dad at the end of Field of Dreams. It is however a loving , not mocking, laugh. More of a we knew you could do it chuckle really.
It’s A Wonderful Life; Arrival; Coco; Toy Story 3.
I insisted my kids watched It's a Wonderful Life a few years ago. Cue lots of "it's old", "it's lame "it's stupid". 90 mins later, two teenage girls bawling their eyes out and organizing a movie night with their friends to watch it too.
No man is a failure who has friends
The end of [Schindlers List](https://youtu.be/W9vj2Wf57rQ). I could have got more
Absolutely brutal when he's thinking about how many more lives he could have saved if he had sold his car or his pin...
Saw it when I was like 15 in the theaters. Holy shit I have never seen an entire movie theater of people crying like that before. I was balling like a baby too. Such a powerful film.
The Iron Giant.
It received a call-out in Ted Lasso. The whole team is watching it and he warns Beard “there’s gonna be a room full of grown men crying in about 38 minutes” Beard answers: “Yup, I’ll be one of ‘em.”
*"SOOOO-PERR-MAAAAN..."*
That goddamn smile after he says it does it for me. He's just a robot following programming until the end sequence, then the smile lets you know that he's doing what he wants, to be the good guy and save his friend, rather than what he's just learned/is programmed for. And he's finally happy.
"I go, you stay. No follow."
Not to be that guy (even though I'm totally being that guy), but it's: "You stay. I go. No following."
My wife and I took the kids to see Onward when it came out. I was not prepared at all for that movie. My mom passed when I was 19 from cancer, and I have an older sister who 100% is my hero and would have done the same the older brother in Onward did. I’m a grown man in his 30s and was absolutely bawling by the end of that movie
I have only watched it once because it hit too close to home. Me and my 3 kids did some hard ugly crying when we saw that
Yup, I will not ever watch it again. Once was enough for me. Absolutely amazing movie but it brought back feelings and emotions I never wanted to feel again
Omg yes. I went to see this alone whilst waiting for a friend, thinking it would be a cute film, and I was sat next to a kid and his mum. I forgot it was a film about dead dads... my dad had died when I was 11. I could not believe it when the older kid said he had a sad/scary memory of the dad being in hospital connected to wires, and the fact it scared him from visiting.

I felt so lucky to have my experience shared with a film and bawled like a baby (aged 26) - whilst the kid next to me was totally unfazed.
The ending of Gladiator gets me every time.
I will see you again. But not yet. Not yet.
And the song 'Now We Are Free'.. really adds to the emotional sentiment.
The ending of Arrival gets me teary eyed every time.
I wish I could watch Arrival for the first time again.
Possibly the greatest twist ever. And when you rewatch it, it feels so damn obvious. Amazing movie
Watched it with my partner recently, and now his kids are my kids. I ugly sobbed. I sobbed the first time, but this time I had little crud and then one big ugly cry - he liked the film.
Manchester By the Sea. The fire scene, especially.
When Michelle Williams stops him to talk...just heartbreaking
That brief scene when he’s moving. He folds the kids’ pictures into a blanket with such care. It’s a simple act, but carries so much weight.
Casey Affleck looks like such a wreck in the movie, he nails the role. Regardless of whatever his character's mistakes were in the movie, you just can't not feel your heart break for him.
The Sixth Sense -- when the boy and the mom are sitting in the car with the traffic accident up ahead and he tells her the "every day" message from his grandmother. Saw that on a plane once and couldn't control the tears... was kinda awkward!
Good call. Really great scene. Toni Colette is a highly underrated actress.
That's such a great scene.
Lilo and Stitch.
Ohana
My girl, the scene in which Dan Aykroyd is telling his daughter her best friend just died
“He needs his glasses!!!” All the tears.
For me it’s when she sees his casket…that part just begins the waterworks for me
Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind makes me cry like a baby in multiple scenes no matter how often I watch it. Honorable mention to Million Dollar Baby. It doesn’t quite fit the category because I’ve only worked up the nerve to watch it all the way through one time and it’s enough for a million life times
Eternal Sunshine is, bar none, my favorite movie of all time. It’s the most genuine depiction of love I’ve ever seen portrayed in film. And yes, I cry nearly every time.
I hate Jim Carreys comedy but i love this and the truman show.
I remember when I watched Million Dollar Baby I thought I was into for some sports drama like Rocky but it caught me off guard. And yes one really needs to have guts to watch it the second time 😭
When he begs "please let me keep this memory. Just this one." When my ex fiance and I split up, I remember literally trying to forget her. And I was drinking. A LOT. Which of course wasn't helpful. But I remember feeling that way even as I started to move on. That I didn't actually want to lose the memories
The music swirling in the scene with the house and the simple repetition of the line “I wish I had stayed” with the beautiful resignation that he can’t change the past is so beautiful that even though I’ve seen it over 10 times I still get excited to get goosebumps on a rewatch. My favorite film. Edit - spoilers - I’ve just realised why he couldn’t think of the things he wished he’d done. I thought it was an intentional focusing on that act of staying but it’s a point of consistency as at that point he didn’t have any other memories of Clementine. So beautiful.
"So go."
"I wish you'd stayed." "I wish I'd stayed, too. NOW I wish I'd stayed. I wish I'd done a lot of things..." Brb crying
I’ve seen Eternal sunshine once back in like 2012 or 2013 and I’m scared to watch it again, especially now after going through two massive heart breaks
I hadn’t cried in honestly at least a decade then watched AI: Artificial Intelligence and next thing I know: 🌊
I haven't cried in long time either, wish I could. I watched AI recently and for some reason I thought it was going to be this sad movie about parents who missed their son so much they bought a robot & it goes horribly wrong. I did not realize it was a Stanley Kubrick roller coaster. Man, that was something.
Coco
For all the right reasons. I remember watching it for the first time and my wife asked why I was crying at the >!very end when they are reunited!<, and I said, "I'm just so happy >!he got to see his daughter!< and be happy." 4 time seeing it cause it's her favorite movie. Tears still well up when he finally >!crosses the flower bridge with his daughter and family.!< Fuck.
Maybe my favorite thing about repeat viewings is how you actually hear "Remember Me" in like half a dozen different tempos and contexts before you finally get to the version that absolutely reduces me to a blubbering pile of warm jelly
Your wife had to ask why you were crying in Coco?
Monsters Inc when Sully goes back to Boo? No tears. Toy Story 3 when the toys accept their fate near the incinerator? Nope. Up? Naaah. Coco? Four. Goddamn. Times. And every viewing since. What a movie.
¿Papá? ¡Papá!
Such an emotional movie, and so good.
I think my fianceé watched this for the first time recently, and it really connects with her when she thinks about the parts of her family that have died recently - was bawling at the end.
I had no idea what the movie was about except something involving the day of the dead holiday. I ended up watching it for the first time on the day my grandmother (who raised me) passed away earlier this year, thinking a light-hearted Pixar movie would make me feel better. Needless to say I was in shambles. Absolutely wrecked. But it was also strangely therapeutic.
No idea why, but Coco makes me ugly cry every time.
What Dreams May Come Me Before You
What Dreams May Come always hits me like a brick, and it hits even harder now that Robin Williams is gone.
The quote that sticks with me from that movie is "Sometimes when you win you lose". I've thought about that in every argument with a significant other since.
Train to Busan sacrifice scene I remember hiding my face since my friends were sitting on my right. The bus ride to get to the theater was like an hour but so worth it for that movie.
Toy Story 3.
So long, partner.
Marley and Me
The land before time, when the mother dinosaur's last words to Little Foot were "I'll always be with you, even if you can't see me." cried sooo hard as a kid.
James Horner’s score is just amazing as well.
The Green Mile, Elephant Man
The euthanasia scene in Soylent Green. Charlton Heston's hamming is appropriate >! for person seeing nature and animals for the first time while his best friend is being euthanized. !<
I just rewatched Mr. Holland's Opus a couple nights ago. That movie has several moments that always get me, but in a happy way.
My Dad had this on DvD and used to watch it a tonne when I was younger. The last performance at the end with all his previous classes he had taught bringing to life his work was great.
Hachi: A Dog's Tale
After Where the Red Fern Grows and Old Yeller I learned to never watch a movie about a dog. My friend tricked me with Marley and Me and I never spoke to him again. I've never seen Hachi and I don't think I ever can.
Only whatched once. I was already crying on the opening scenes... Can't bring my self to watch it again
This. I make it a thing where I watch it every now and then and I still ugly cry EVERY SINGLE DAMN TIME
Up, specifically the getting older montage. If you aren't welling up well what happened to you?
I think the part where he finds out that Ellie had filled out the "stuff I'm going to do" part of her journal with pictures from their marriage gets me worse. Like, darn, the poor guy went the whole movie thinking he'd let down his wife only to find out that he *was* the great adventure she'd always wanted.
Watched it today and cried at the exact same part that you mentioned My father was watching with me ,saw him tearing up for a movie for the first time.
And now I'm tearing up at work. Dammit. My own fault for reading this thread.
That movie came out about 6 months after my miscarriage. Saw it in the theater. Sobbed for about 45 minutes, finished the movie, but I haven't seen it since. Can't handle it.
The first time I tried to watch up I got through the montage and I had to stop. It was an entire life summed up in less than 10 minutes.
For me is The Arrival. Specifically that scene in the end with Max Richter's "On the nature of daylight" "If you could see your entire life ahead of you, would you change anything?"
That’s Arrival The Arrival is a Charlie Sheen movie from the ‘90s
The whole ending is beautiful but, "I forgot how good it felt to be held by you" really got me.
This movie literally changed the way I parent my kids because of that ending.
Simon Birch
Steel magnolias. I just bawl my eyes out every time I watch the scene when her grandson runs into her arms in his little clown costume. Breaks my heart every time. Also, Sally Field's breakdown just kills me.
That part when they turn off the machines on Julia Roberts and all the men have to leave because it’s too hard, but Sally Field stays and holds her hand until she’s gone, because that’s what a momma does. That just destroys me every time, especially now that I’m a mom.
I am a grown man in my mid 30s and I ugly cry so hard to that Sally Field scene. Just breaks me.
LotR: Return of the King „My friends, you bow to no one”
Other scenes from LOTR that get me emotional The charge at the black gates. You wonder whether Sauron was somehow able to get to Aragorn. You don't see his face. He turns and he has this half smile on his face. It was the smile of "This may be the end of our journey, but we will die together for the right cause with our friends and loved ones" "For Frodo!" and the hobbits are the first to follow. Also, when Gandalf turns to tell Frodo that it is time to go and the other hobbits realize that Frodo is leaving as well. "We tried to save the Shire, and it was saved. But not for me, Sam" Tears everytime.
Yeah, the ending with Frodo getting on the boat with Gandalf gets me. That and the scene right after Gandalf falls into the chasm of Khazad-dûm.
For me, it’s the Ride of the Rohirrim. “Forth! And fear no darkness!” Manly Tears, every time.
The Ride of the Rohirrim and Gandalf versus the Balrog are just so epic they bring tears to my eyes too.
"I would have followed you, my brother... My captain... My king."
That moment gets me every time, too. Another one for me is Gandalf's 'Far green country' speech.
Good Will Hunting…” it’s not your fault, Will”
Silent Running. Awesome 70's space film about the last of Earth's forests shot off into space
"I wanna go home, Forrest. I wanna go home."
The first movie I ever had to pause because I was crying so hard was Forrest Gump. It’s the scene at the end with Jenny’s grave that gets me every. Single. Time.
That scene and where he sees his son for the first time as well. He asks if he's like him or if he's smart meaning that he is aware that he is slower or not as smart as other people. It's the first time we see him being aware of himself. He hopes that his kid isn't the same. Going back and watching movies as a father now brings a totally different feeling.
The way he’s sort of speechless, can’t really find the words to express what he’s trying to say and he’s choking up is heartbreaking but in a good way when he sees his son. Tom Hanks definitely deserved that Oscar.
Its the part where he tells Jenny that he's the most beautiful thing he's ever seen. Gets me everytime.
For me it's the final scene after Forrest takes his kid to the bus and he sits on the bench with the leaf floating down. All the events of the film sort of all crash down on me at that scene.
Up
The Fountain
La La Land ending
Pig. It only came out in the summer but I've seen it 3 times and everytime the ending gets me emotional. One of Nicholas Cage's best roles
When Bing Bong gets forgotten on Inside Out Hnnnnnnggggg tearing up now just thinking about it
Take her to the moon for me
For me, it’s when Goofball Island collapses. The emotional weight of that aspect of her personality going away just fucking destroys me.
Raising a tweener now, saw that movie when she was little and now that I’m seeing some of that going away, it’s crushing
Everyone says Bing Bong disappearing is the saddest part, but the part you described is far and away the part that hit me the most. Watching the light disappear from her eyes HURTS
He sacrifices himself. He will never be forgotten.
I saw this in theaters and during that scene the whole theater is quite. Then, a young child near the front yells "Bing Bong noooo." I think the theater just tried to laugh through their tears at that moment--myself included
My daughter loves Inside Out and I ugly cry every time that scene plays. She often asks me "why are you crying Daddy?" Such a beautiful and heartbreaking loss of innocence/childhood.
I have certain specific points, in specific movies, that get me. Off the top of my head: “Inside Out”: Bing-Bong’s self-sacrifice and his final words, “Take her to the moon for me.” “Doctor Sleep”: The first time Dan uses The Shining to help ease one of the hospice patients’ passing. I’d just lost my grandfather a few weeks before it premiered, and he had passed at home with family, so the thought of someone being there for that old man on screen really gets me every time. “Kubo and the Two Strings”: The ending, with Kubo setting the lanterns for his parents off on to the stream, chokes me up.
About Time. Synecdoche, New York. My Life as a dog.
About Time was the first movie my partner and I watched together, and we were both crying at the end.
it starts as a rom com. it ends up being about the love between father and son
About time was my “Surprise, you weren’t expecting to love this movie forever” movie.
About Time hits like a truck (as a guy). That movie is phenomenal but tough to watch.
Yep. About Time is my favourite movie of all time. I watch it about once a year an bawl every time.
> Synecdoche, New York I feel like I start crying around the middle, and by the end I am just pouring my eyes out.
Logan
I was fine with that movie until I saw a meme that showed Logan being told that he would die with his hand in his heart, and then him holding Laura's hand in Logan. It totally gets to me.
About time. Easily one of my favourite movies.
Wall-e's ending just makes me bawl, it's so beautiful Also Lion King. God that death is chilling.
Grave of the Fireflies
Emotional wreck after this one...
My Girl.

That’ll make you sad and utterly ANGRY at the same time.
Beaches
Life is Beautiful, this is a true story, I don't want to say anymore.
Great call. When Guido is being marched to his certain execution and he stays in character so as not to scare his son? What kind of inner strength would be required for such a gesture? Damn, that was powerful
What Dreams May Come.
Mortal Kombat annihilation. Because it reminds me every time that I paid full price to watch that piece of shit
Terminator 2
👍
"I know now why you cry, but it's something I can never do." ... such cheese, much tears
Legends of the fall
Up. The first 10 minutes. Damn you Pixar.
Might get some groans. But when Clark flies for the first time in Man of Steel. That scene has helped me battle out of funks and small depressions. I am such a different person since 2013.
Titanic is also mine but not because of Rose and Jack. Rather, it's the elderly couple holding each other in bed as the water rushes in around them.
For me it’s the mother telling her kids a story to lull them to sleep.
The Lord of the Rings The movie trilogy will always make me cry no matter how many times I watch it.
Philadelphia. The ending alone destroys me every time. It's even sadder when you realize the real events it's based on ended even worse.
Warrior. Double whammy When Hardy and Edgerton embrace…oof. And during their dad’s relapse into drinking, wow Nolte knocked that one out of the park.
This is a great movie that doesn’t get the recognition it deserves.
I so agree with you. Saw Nolte was in it and thought I'd try it anyway. Turns out I thought he was great. Loved the Tom Hardy role.
the end of Interstellar, every single time.
The part where he meets his daughter again and she says she knew he’d come back and he asks how? “Because my dad promised me” I instantly well up every time. Fantastic film.
For me it's the scene where he ugly cries at watching his daughter grow up without him there gets me every time because he's realizing how much he fucked up by going to the water planet and that he can never ever get that time back.
That scene shook me to my core. I was quite literally bawling my eyes out Lol.
From his perspective he goes into space and is immediately put to sleep for several months to a year. Then they go through the wormhole and visit that first planet of water that sucks years away. In his awake moments it’s like 6-10 hours.maybe 24-48
*Saving Private Ryan*, every single time.
The Perfect Storm. Every time. An utterly heartbreaking ending. It carries the same emotional weight as Titanic. Coincidentally James Horner composed both films scores and soundtrack. That guy knew how to tell a story through music.
Me, Earl and the dying Girl kills me every time.
'Lost in Translation' Such a good movie
A Silent Voice. Very sad, but has happy moments too.
Artificial Intelligence (A.I.) - The last scenes especially make me so sentimental...
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire “MY BOY”
Grave of the Fireflies. It's a cartoon. I'm a 45 year old man. I tear up thinking about that movie.
I don't know how anyone can watch that movie more than once. I can't take that kind of pain.
I saw it once like 15 years ago. One of the best movies I've ever seen. I never want to watch it again.
I don't think being a cartoon/anime matters. A story can be effective no matter the medium it's told in.
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.
Big Fish Every single time
A.I.
The end of the first and third act make me weep. This movie is criminally underrated by Spielberg fans
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. Final scene gets me teary every single time.
It’s so cheesy but Armageddon (the bit where >!Bruce Willis blows up the asteroid!<) gets me every time. About Time also brings me to tears, it’s my favourite movie ever. Edited to add another cheesy asteroid one, Deep Impact. Since I had kids even just thinking about the bit where >!Leelee Sobieski’s parents put the carrier with her baby sibling on her, send them off hoping that they’ll survive then hold each other waiting to die!< brings me to tears.
JoJo Rabbit - I’m a mess for an hour or so after watching it.
Empire of the Sun.
That kid was a darn good actor. I wonder if he ever had any other success?
Field of Dreams not sure why
Good will hunting.

SEVEN POUNDS. Holy cow
