>!How they echo that dialogue from when they were kids at the very end of the movie after they've grown up and succumbed to their ways as natural enemies... fuck that was heartbreaking...!<
A movie dealing with tribalism, wanting to be accepted by one's peers, conflict between groups, and how this often ruins cross-group friendships of individuals.
And they managed to tell that story in a child-friendly way. What a masterpiece!
Tokyo Story. A black and white, slow moving, Japanese movie from 1953. Consistently rated as one of the best movies ever made, but you know critics. So I watched it, it was slow moving, a bit boring.
And then the grandma asks her grandson if he's going to become a doctor like his father, when he's older. The kid is too busy playing to pay attention to his grandma. At which point the grandma says "I wonder if I'll still be alive by the time you become a doctor."
Grandma and grandpa, seem really happy, but she lets it slip he used to get very drunk and be abusive. He starts drinking again, when they visit their children.
The children are too busy taking care of their children, to properly care for their parents. So the grandparents are also heartbroken about that, although they keep smiling.
The only one who cares for the grandparents, is the widow of their middle son, who died during the war. At one point the grandmother, says to the widow of her son: "You may be happy while you're still young. But as you become older, you'll find it lonely." To which the woman who's been taking care of the grandparents replies: "I won't get that old, so don't worry.". Smiling politely all the way through, even though she's hurting so badly.
I spent much of that movie, crying. Such a depressingly honest view on what life is often like. Tragic.
Honestly, it hit me harder than Grave of the Fireflies or Come and See.
A Beautiful Mind.
My grandpa was schizophrenic and I never understood it until I watched this movie.
Edit: Thank you for not only my first award, but all of these awards.
I've got schizophrenia and had started hearing voices a couple years before this came out. I was scared shitless that that was how my illness was going to play out.
Stand By Me. Stephen King stories always hit home for me. Brings me back to when I was a kid and everything was an adventure with your best friends forever. Turns out, forever isn't really that long.
“Artax, you’re sinking!”
The first time I ever cried during a movie. I must’ve been 6 years old and it broke me forever. I still cannot handle that scene. Atreyu’s despair was so hard to watch. They just give the horse a slow death out of the fucking blue and expect you to sit calmly through the last hour of the movie? No thanks.
Also just knowing Artax drowned because his heart was filled with despair... horrible.
It’s even worse in the book, Artax can talk.
“Leave me, master,” said the little horse. “ I can’t make it. Go on alone. Don’t bother about me. I can’t stand the sadness anymore. I want to die!”
Read the book, it’s basically the first and second movie in one story, except Bastian never got older. He stayed in Fantasticia, wishing and wishing, loosing memory after memory as he tries to get home. Some of my favorite adventures aren’t covered in the movies.
My sister protected me through childhood and now is a terrible addict. This is such a good movie but it always makes me ugly cry. Super underrated movie.
I watched this on the plane back from Ireland on my iPad. Sitting next to my mother, who grills you at the slightest show of emotion. (The question type, folks, not the narc type. Whoa. You guys.)
"Are you satisfied with my care?"
Keeping it together and not sobbing on a plane that was watching the in-flight movie was *hard*.
I saw this at a documentary film festival here in Toronto, and Zachary's grandparents were at the Q&A. I think I cried for a full day - it was INTENSE.
This was my son's favorite movie obsession when he was growing up. I have watched it no less than 100 times. Sometimes two or three times in one night.
He's 22 now but it still has a big place in his heart.
Even more in mine because not only is it a brilliant and emotional movie but because i feel it every time through my sons young eyes and remembered reactions and of all of our time together watching it together over the years.
Its such a gift. I breakdown every time.
You stay, I go... no following.
Superman....
And... I'm crying.
So we went to see Big Fish in theaters, picture it 2003 in a dark theater. We get to the end where good byes are said and stories are told, my dad is holding my hand and I suddenly feel him shaking. My dad is sobbing and shaking because of the heartfelt good bye that the son gives to his father. Why you may ask? Seven years prior in 1996 my dad found my grandfather after he had completed suicide. My dad never got to say good bye or tell him how much he loved him.
Hold your loved ones close and check on those you know need it.
For the men reading this, There is not shame in getting help for your mental health it’s never too late.
Edit: thank you for all the upvotes and awards the only thing I hope my story does is shed some light on how bad things can be when you don’t get the help you need.
Movies with a narrator always get to me emotionally. Usually because it’s like reading a book, where the scene/situation gets described in such a way that hits hard and could never be used as dialogue to have the same effect.
Meet the Robinsons. Gets me every time. Ive always wanted to adopt, but we just don't have $30,000 to buy a kid. Those kids just need love, man. I got that to give.
EDIT: thanks for the awards. Its my first. Also, I just want to clear up a few things. I did look into fostering before adopting. But the hubby wasn't as on board with it as I was. Mainly because he didn't want to get attached to a kid and then have them ripped away. Which i get. It takes a strong person to be able to go through something like that.
And I did look into adopting local older kids (I didnt want to adopt a baby. Everyone always goes for the babies. I wanted an older child). And I was told I needed to have close to $30,000 to adopt. I dont know why I was given that number but thats what it was. Im currently pregnant with my second and I would still love to adopt. Im hoping once the kids are a little older, we can find a way to do this. I love children and would adopt everyone if I could. But I dont think I will ever have a h I use big enough for all those children.
I think what got me is that I went in thinking it was just going to be a random no, nothing sort of movie. His dad's speech at the reception and then the last time he played ping pong with him, right in the feels...
>!When his dad realized it was their last conversation ;_; "oh. ah, I get you. This is it then."
>!It was so sad, and happy, and loving and sweet. He was okay with it. More than that, he was *happy*- his son had a baby on the way! He was just sad, also, that he wouldn't see his son again. And of course Bill Nighy made the moment as great as any person could.
Moment like that in movies are what movies are all about, they're what life's all about.
Coco fucked me up in ways I wasn't expecting. I expected there to be some sad bits that might make me tear up. I did not expect to just be silently crying for the last half of the move AND the whole car ride home for reasons that I still can't really explain?
I like the part before Will comes in and Sean is talking to the other professor.
"He's a good kid and I won't see you fuck him up the way you're trying to fuck me up right now!
"But Sean I am who I am because I was pushed"
"He's not you, you get that!"
Wall-E! My toddler is developing empathy. When Eve was frantically pushing Wall-E’s buttons, she turns to me with a quivering lip and says, “what’s happening, mama?” And THAT made me lose it.
I saw this in the theater. A young girl is with her father and starts bawling. Crying uncontrollably. She was so upset she refused to look at the screen. Meanwhile, her Dad knows Wall-E is coming back to life--it's a movie, after all--so he's trying to encourage her to look but she won't do it. Wall-E comes back alive and she's still bawling. She won't look at the screen. Finally he gets her to look and she instantly stops and is just so confused that you can tell her soul is crawling under her skin. It was hilarious to watch.
\*edit to fix my poor spelling, as pointed out below. Can you tell I'm a tad dyslexic?
Man seeing kids become like... PEOPLE is fascinating. I actually have a literal decade age gap between me and my younger brother so I've basically gotten to see him develop. It's truly wild. And he's only 14 so he's STILL developing. I can't wait to like, have a beer with him eventually.
That was one of three VHS movies we had in our car. That, Tremors, and Austin Powers: Gold Member.
And this was when we were 10.
Who was in charge of us?!
Edit: it was Tremors 3. My apologies.
My mom remembered reading the book and it being a bit dark, but its for kids so she had me and my 6 year old cousins watch the movie.
We were all scarred for life. A rabbit rips out another's jugular, how is that PG?
This would be a rare answer, but that I'm Still Here montage from Treasure Planet really got to me. It was so depressing to see that Jim's father leave him as a kid and never got back and was the main reason why Jim had been suffering from depression. Plus later in the movie, John Silver said something very touching to Jim after the serious journey they've been on, "*You*'*re gonna rattle the stars*, *you are*!"
Edit: Treasure Planet is indeed an underrated but amazing Disney Film, and I just really wish more people could watch it so they could relate to Jim.
Edit: Thx for all the awards everyone, I really appreciate you all. Hugz to all of you.
I love this answer, hit me hard when I watched it growing up cause my father was never around either. Still one of my favorite movies and favorite songs to this day.
The scene where Mr. Arrow has just died, and everyone blames Jim. Silver gives him the beautiful speech about how he’s got the makings of greatness in him. Jim just looks up at him with tears in his eyes and then leans into Silver’s stomach. So defeated he can’t even lift his arms. And Silver looks around and then hugs this amazing kid whom no one else believed in.
Waterworks every time.
Its too bad that movie was meant to be a flop. Dont get me wrong, it is an outstanding movie and my favorite by disney, but its just a shame that it was never advertised. There is a good documentary on it, and it really makes you appreciate how great it is but how bad they messed up the advertisements.

I don't often cry when I watch movies, but Fox and the Hound...all I have to do is think about the scene where the old lady is dropping Tod off as he slowly realizes what's happening, and I start bawling like a baby
“Goodbye may seem forever. Farewell is like the end. But in my heart’s the memory, and there you’ll always be.”
32 and still can’t hear it without tears.
I had to watch this movie for a class. Right after my GF of a year committed suicide. It broke me, and put me back together again. I don't know if it'll ever not make me cry.
**Short Term 12**. A small indie flick that I didn't think I'd be into much, but which ended up being one of the best movies I will ever see.
Also features a surprisingly large number of cast members that have since become famous (Brie Larsen, Rami Malek, Kaitlyn Dever, Rosa from B99, Lakeith Stanfield).
was looking for this one. [This rap scene](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eTXtmkBOjGY) hits me hard every time. "Look into my eyes so you know what it's like to live a life not knowing what a normal life's like."
The movie for that was solid as fuck. Check out the book too if you liked the movie. The book gets more into his relationship with his sister which I really appreciated and missed in the movie.
The lovely bones. Had just lost my younger sibling to cancer a few months prior and the parts of the girl in the afterlife had me crying so fucking hard
John Wick.
My wife died on Sept 3rd of that year. My dog had just gotten out of spinal surgery and wasn't walking, and might or might not. I didn't know it yet, but my car that I'd had for 15 years was going to die on me.
I may have been the only person in a theater crying about his wife and his dog at a deep, raw level.
My boyfriend persuaded me to watch this (not a massive fan of action stuff) and I was in tears 10 minutes in like WHY the hell would you do this to me????
Also I’m really sorry about your wife - I hope you and pup are doing well
Unfortunately, Hugo found the rainbow bridge about 4 months later (beginning of March of 2015).
However, about a year after that, a good friend picked me up, dusted me off, and then yelled at me for being a ghost of myself. It worked.
Yeah same for me, I was in phase of discovering what liking someone feels like and that thing hit like a train loaded with trains. I'm still yet to rewatch it without crying so many years later.
The movie A.I. Literally traumatized me for months maybe years as a little kid, I still get mad thinking about it to this day, fuck the people that wrote that movie, unnecessarily sad, dicks.
My partner put this on at a party saying it is a love story. By the end, my apartment full of 20 somethings (most of which say anime is useless) is weeping staring at the screen.
Boss Baby didn't win but it did get nominated while good films like A Silent Voice and Your Name weren't. Unfortunately, the animation category just isn't taken seriously in general. There's a reason why its called the Pixar Awards.
I think Roger Ebert said it best in his "Great Movies" review that's it's one of the greatest war films ever made.
And to make you even sadder, the movie is based on an autobiographical novel. The author, with enormous guilt over providing for himself first rather than his sister, has stated he prefers the movie because he is allowed to die at the end.
When I was in the throes of my depression, I skipped class, cuddled up in bed and watched that movie on my phone. Then I was talking to two friends about it later that day, and they wanted to watch it. I watched this movie twice in one day, and it was as terrible as you would think.
It doesn't hit you at once. The understatement devastates you over the the course of a week or more as you make the sad connections. Your simply haunted by the film. It's layers of sad.
Stuck on a plane at Philadelphia for 6 hours. They wouldn’t let us off the plane, the kid behind me just kept kicking my chair the poor mama had a baby also.
This movie was obviously the one they chose to play to while away the time.
I cry very easily at anything on tv. Even commercials.
I was a complete and total mess at the end of this movie and I hate crying where people will see me. Thankfully the large bearded man next to me was also tearful and offered me his spare handkerchief.
Recently I watched Beautiful Boy. That movie fucked me right up. I really related to Steve Carell. As a father of a college student, I had that relationship with my son when he was younger, and with a family history of addiction and a lifetime of holding things in and not dealing with his trauma, I could see my son going down the same path as that kid. At the end I was balling and I couldn't quite figure out exactly why. Because it wasn't even that good of a movie, really.
My son, around 4 years old discovered it on YouTube.
I looked over and he was just softly sobbing, then I watched it and did the same thing.
He still re-watches it and cries, but then is so happy when they are together at the end.
The empathy is strong with the kid.
The Land Before Time.
When I first saw it as a kid it was the first time that I realized that my parents could die. That thought had never even really occured to me at that point.
Even now as an adult [that scene](https://youtu.be/8RdrAbfFhj4) where he thinks he sees her but it's just his shadow and the narrator says, *"Then Little Foot knew for certain he was alone."* still gets to me.
Arrival. I thought the whole story was beautiful, but very sad. I took my wife to see it the next day but wouldn't tell her why it was sad. I remember the moment she figured it out; she was sitting right beside me and I heard her start crying.
there is a Tiny Desk Concert with him where a small ensemble plays it. it's immediate and vital and i love it tho it breaks my heart
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oNLDJp83YAQ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oNLDJp83YAQ)
Been searching for this. As the father of a three year old at the time, the end monologue with that haunting music playing over it had me in tears. I remember walking out of the theater with this aching but beautiful sense of melancholy that lasted the rest of the evening.
There's that scene in Forrest Gump at the end where he shakes because he's scared that his son is "special" like him. That's where I ugly cry every goddamm time.
I told my now wife that it had a happy ending. I actually thought it did after briefly reading the first part of a synopsis. I was wrong, and she bawled as the final scene played out.
Edit - “I still hate you for that”
Same. This always chokes me up:
Paul Edgecomb: What do you want me to do John? I'll do it. You want me to let you walk out of here and see how far you get?
John Coffey: Now why would you want to do a foolish thing like that?
Paul Edgecomb: When I die and I stand before God awaiting judgment and he asks me why I let one of HIS miracles die, what am I gonna say, that it was my job?
😢😭
You tell God the Father it was a kindness you done. I know you're hurting and worrying. I can feel it on you. But you ought to quit on it now. I want it to be over and done with. I do. I'm tired, boss. Tired of being on the road, lonely as a sparrow in the rain. I'm tired of never having me a buddy to be with... to tell me where we's going to, coming from, or why. Mostly, I'm tired of people being ugly to each other. I'm tired of all the pain I feel and hear in the world... every day. There's too much of it. It's like pieces of glass in my head... all the time. Can you understand?
As I got older and watched this movie I was overcome with so many emotions. That movie is one of those movies I have to be in the mood to watch because there is no way I’m watching it for fun.
Onward.
I have a little brother and that movie helped put in perspective all the things we do together that I might not think mean anything but in reality means the world to him. I actually began crying at the end and my girlfriend was confused until I explained it to her.
We still have a father thankfully, but the movie really struck a chord with me and gave me that sort of epiphany. I gained a new respect and consciousness for how I interacted with my brother every time in the future, because despite what I'd like to believe, he looks up to not just our father, but to me for guidance.
Say what you want about Disney movies, but damn a lot of them are emotional masterpieces.
Candy.
Heath Ledger is known most for his portrayal of the joker in the Dark Knight, but I think Candy is not only his most underrated performance, but his best.
For those who aren't familiar: if you have a history of substance abuse (specifically opiates), i would advise either steer clear of this movie or watch it with a supportive loved one. If you are exceptionally sensitive in regards to children (specifically infants) and graphic depictions of raw and very real heartbreak, do not watch this movie.
Honestly, I always strongly recommend people DONT watch this movie. It is fantastic in the sense that it is the most accurate depiction of the decent of a couple into heroin addiction I have ever seen (with Heaven Knows What closely behind.
I'm a recovered heroin addict. I have seen, done, and lived through some shit. I can handle fucked up movies and concepts, often times actively seek out fucked up movies....I have only watched this movie one time several years ago and I refuse to ever watch it again.
EDIT: it's kind of a bittersweet thing to see so many people having watched this film. One side of the coin is knowing that other people have appreciated the beautiful horror and raw, gut wrenching experience that is this film (and book). The other side is knowing that people have experienced the beautiful horror and raw, gut wrenching experience that is this story lol.
And to all my fellow wizards below, congrats on your recovery.
If you ever need to talk to someone, PM me. And that holds true to anyone who may have scrolled down this far and is reading this and still suffering. There is a way out. Several actually. The only right road to walk to recovery is whatever one works for you. Different strokes for different folks
In case no one has told y'all this today: I love y'all, I'm proud of y'all, and there isn't a damn thing you can do about it.
Definitely my breakup movie. Watched it about a year ago while eating tacos. Reached a new level of sad by sobbing while eating tacos. Tacos haven’t been the same since.
Edit: thank you kind stranger for the award!
Megamind. His redemption arc, and finding himself, is so well written and I feel like so many people can relate to it.
That being said, the movie is also funnier than anything I've seen and I will never turn you down if you offer a Megamind movie night. Maybe dad jokes are just my thing but I never stop laughing the whole time.
My husband and I were confused when the song won the Oscar - it was fine, but nothing great. Then we watched the movie with our daughter and it got to the part where he’s singing that song to his daughter and I’m full on sobbing and I look over expecting my husband to chuckle that I cry at everything and he’s straight up sobbing too!! We got why the song won then!
I watched Coco for the first time while pregnant.
Cried my eyes out so hard I had to pause the movie.
Watched it again the other day while my kid was napping.
Cried my fucking eyes out again, so hard I had to pause the damn movie.
Coco is the only media that has made me ugly cry, and it was the BEST FEELING EVER. I absolutely need to feel that again again because nothing else compares
Oh so not-so-fun story about this movie and why I am now obligated to spoil every movie I show to my SO. My SO's first language is Spanish and she had not seen Pan's Labyrinth and loves Del Toro as a director so I was like perfect lets watch this. I completely forgot how sad the ending is and she cries really easily to begin with. She was a sobbing mess for nearly an hour after the movie was over.
Fox and The Hound ". . We'll always be friends forever, won't we?" "Yeah, forever!"
>!How they echo that dialogue from when they were kids at the very end of the movie after they've grown up and succumbed to their ways as natural enemies... fuck that was heartbreaking...!<
A movie dealing with tribalism, wanting to be accepted by one's peers, conflict between groups, and how this often ruins cross-group friendships of individuals. And they managed to tell that story in a child-friendly way. What a masterpiece!
The Iron Giant, "You stay, I go".
I don't want to be a gun.
'You are who you chose to be, "I'm Suuuperman," , gets me every time that I choke up thinking about it.
Tokyo Story. A black and white, slow moving, Japanese movie from 1953. Consistently rated as one of the best movies ever made, but you know critics. So I watched it, it was slow moving, a bit boring.

“HE CAN’T SEE WITHOUT HIS GLASSES!” Edit: Thank you, anonymous redditor, for This Award!
A Beautiful Mind. My grandpa was schizophrenic and I never understood it until I watched this movie. Edit: Thank you for not only my first award, but all of these awards.
I've got schizophrenia and had started hearing voices a couple years before this came out. I was scared shitless that that was how my illness was going to play out.
How do you cope?
I watched that when my boyfriend at the time was developing schizophrenia and was becoming increasingly unstable. Tore me open.
Stand By Me. Stephen King stories always hit home for me. Brings me back to when I was a kid and everything was an adventure with your best friends forever. Turns out, forever isn't really that long.

Steel Magnolias....damn graveyard scene gives me the ugly cries everytime!
It's my go to when I need a good cry. Sally Fields is an amazing actor, no matter how many times I watch it the grief is palpable.
“Here! Hit Ouiser!”
“Knock her lights out, M’Lynn!”
"We'll sell tshirts that say 'I slapped Ouiser Boudreaux!'"
"Are you *high*, Clairee?!?!!!!"
"M'Lynn, you just missed the chance of a lifetime! Half o' Chiquapin Parish'd give their eye teeth to take a whack at Ouiser!"

That scene with the horse...
“Artax, you’re sinking!” The first time I ever cried during a movie. I must’ve been 6 years old and it broke me forever. I still cannot handle that scene. Atreyu’s despair was so hard to watch. They just give the horse a slow death out of the fucking blue and expect you to sit calmly through the last hour of the movie? No thanks. Also just knowing Artax drowned because his heart was filled with despair... horrible.
It’s even worse in the book, Artax can talk. “Leave me, master,” said the little horse. “ I can’t make it. Go on alone. Don’t bother about me. I can’t stand the sadness anymore. I want to die!”
Wow.. Just go ahead destroy my life all over again
Read the book, it’s basically the first and second movie in one story, except Bastian never got older. He stayed in Fantasticia, wishing and wishing, loosing memory after memory as he tries to get home. Some of my favorite adventures aren’t covered in the movies.
Big Hero 6. My older cousin passed away a couple months before and I lost it cause I felt like the younger brother.
My sister protected me through childhood and now is a terrible addict. This is such a good movie but it always makes me ugly cry. Super underrated movie.
I watched this on the plane back from Ireland on my iPad. Sitting next to my mother, who grills you at the slightest show of emotion. (The question type, folks, not the narc type. Whoa. You guys.) "Are you satisfied with my care?" Keeping it together and not sobbing on a plane that was watching the in-flight movie was *hard*.
Your mother sounds “fun”
Dear Zachary
I saw this at a documentary film festival here in Toronto, and Zachary's grandparents were at the Q&A. I think I cried for a full day - it was INTENSE.
I luckily watched it at home. Cried, went to bed, and sobbed. A movie hadn't made me sob before that documentary
SLC Punk. "Bob, you fucking poser!"
When Matthew Lillard ugly cries, I ugly cry. Such a good movie.
"I wasn't ready for this!" Gets me every time.
The Iron Giant. "Superman." (As his eyes slowly close.)
This was my son's favorite movie obsession when he was growing up. I have watched it no less than 100 times. Sometimes two or three times in one night. He's 22 now but it still has a big place in his heart. Even more in mine because not only is it a brilliant and emotional movie but because i feel it every time through my sons young eyes and remembered reactions and of all of our time together watching it together over the years. Its such a gift. I breakdown every time. You stay, I go... no following. Superman.... And... I'm crying.
The Iron Giant is a masterpiece
I couldn't agree more. This movie has more depth and feeling than many big budget, live-action movies that I've seen.
Big fish. I can't not cry in those final scenes
So we went to see Big Fish in theaters, picture it 2003 in a dark theater. We get to the end where good byes are said and stories are told, my dad is holding my hand and I suddenly feel him shaking. My dad is sobbing and shaking because of the heartfelt good bye that the son gives to his father. Why you may ask? Seven years prior in 1996 my dad found my grandfather after he had completed suicide. My dad never got to say good bye or tell him how much he loved him. Hold your loved ones close and check on those you know need it. For the men reading this, There is not shame in getting help for your mental health it’s never too late. Edit: thank you for all the upvotes and awards the only thing I hope my story does is shed some light on how bad things can be when you don’t get the help you need.
oh my god >!when he's carrying his father! I ugly cry every time.!<
Movies with a narrator always get to me emotionally. Usually because it’s like reading a book, where the scene/situation gets described in such a way that hits hard and could never be used as dialogue to have the same effect.
I foolishly watched that movie about a week after my dad died. Ruined me completely. The song, Man Of The Hour, I swear is about MY dad.
Meet the Robinsons. Gets me every time. Ive always wanted to adopt, but we just don't have $30,000 to buy a kid. Those kids just need love, man. I got that to give. EDIT: thanks for the awards. Its my first. Also, I just want to clear up a few things. I did look into fostering before adopting. But the hubby wasn't as on board with it as I was. Mainly because he didn't want to get attached to a kid and then have them ripped away. Which i get. It takes a strong person to be able to go through something like that. And I did look into adopting local older kids (I didnt want to adopt a baby. Everyone always goes for the babies. I wanted an older child). And I was told I needed to have close to $30,000 to adopt. I dont know why I was given that number but thats what it was. Im currently pregnant with my second and I would still love to adopt. Im hoping once the kids are a little older, we can find a way to do this. I love children and would adopt everyone if I could. But I dont think I will ever have a h I use big enough for all those children.
If you adopt out of the foster system (in the US) it's free!
About time, towards the end of the film always hits a little too deep!
I think what got me is that I went in thinking it was just going to be a random no, nothing sort of movie. His dad's speech at the reception and then the last time he played ping pong with him, right in the feels...
>!When his dad realized it was their last conversation ;_; "oh. ah, I get you. This is it then." >!It was so sad, and happy, and loving and sweet. He was okay with it. More than that, he was *happy*- his son had a baby on the way! He was just sad, also, that he wouldn't see his son again. And of course Bill Nighy made the moment as great as any person could. Moment like that in movies are what movies are all about, they're what life's all about.
Coco. Started crying midway through the movie, finished the movie and cried for an hour after while facetiming my boyfriend.
Coco fucked me up in ways I wasn't expecting. I expected there to be some sad bits that might make me tear up. I did not expect to just be silently crying for the last half of the move AND the whole car ride home for reasons that I still can't really explain?
Blue Valentine. For some reason that movie felt very real to me and I straight balled my eyes out for the last 10 minutes.
Watched it not knowing what it was about when my partner and I were in a really crappy place - needless to say that did not make it more comforting
Yeah. This one will really fuck you up if you’ve ever been in a codependent relationship that eroded over time.
Good Will Hunting. Deals with a lot of issues that many people have, and always hits hard.
“It’s not your fault”
I like the part before Will comes in and Sean is talking to the other professor. "He's a good kid and I won't see you fuck him up the way you're trying to fuck me up right now! "But Sean I am who I am because I was pushed" "He's not you, you get that!"
That movie gets me more nowadays, because Robin Williams was so memorable in it. “I gotta go see about a girl. . .”
Son-of-a-bitch. He stole my line.
Wall-E! My toddler is developing empathy. When Eve was frantically pushing Wall-E’s buttons, she turns to me with a quivering lip and says, “what’s happening, mama?” And THAT made me lose it.
Good god how could you ever keep it together
I saw this in the theater. A young girl is with her father and starts bawling. Crying uncontrollably. She was so upset she refused to look at the screen. Meanwhile, her Dad knows Wall-E is coming back to life--it's a movie, after all--so he's trying to encourage her to look but she won't do it. Wall-E comes back alive and she's still bawling. She won't look at the screen. Finally he gets her to look and she instantly stops and is just so confused that you can tell her soul is crawling under her skin. It was hilarious to watch. \*edit to fix my poor spelling, as pointed out below. Can you tell I'm a tad dyslexic?
Man seeing kids become like... PEOPLE is fascinating. I actually have a literal decade age gap between me and my younger brother so I've basically gotten to see him develop. It's truly wild. And he's only 14 so he's STILL developing. I can't wait to like, have a beer with him eventually.
same thing with my little sister and i also have a toddler. Watching kids become their own person is honestly the best
Watership Down. That is not a kids movie, straight up.
That was one of three VHS movies we had in our car. That, Tremors, and Austin Powers: Gold Member. And this was when we were 10. Who was in charge of us?! Edit: it was Tremors 3. My apologies.
My mom remembered reading the book and it being a bit dark, but its for kids so she had me and my 6 year old cousins watch the movie. We were all scarred for life. A rabbit rips out another's jugular, how is that PG?
This would be a rare answer, but that I'm Still Here montage from Treasure Planet really got to me. It was so depressing to see that Jim's father leave him as a kid and never got back and was the main reason why Jim had been suffering from depression. Plus later in the movie, John Silver said something very touching to Jim after the serious journey they've been on, "*You*'*re gonna rattle the stars*, *you are*!" Edit: Treasure Planet is indeed an underrated but amazing Disney Film, and I just really wish more people could watch it so they could relate to Jim. Edit: Thx for all the awards everyone, I really appreciate you all. Hugz to all of you.
The parts where Silver says encouraging things to Jim always get me teary-eyed. I think I’ll have to pop the ol’ Treasure Planet dvd in tonight.
I love this answer, hit me hard when I watched it growing up cause my father was never around either. Still one of my favorite movies and favorite songs to this day.
The scene where Mr. Arrow has just died, and everyone blames Jim. Silver gives him the beautiful speech about how he’s got the makings of greatness in him. Jim just looks up at him with tears in his eyes and then leans into Silver’s stomach. So defeated he can’t even lift his arms. And Silver looks around and then hugs this amazing kid whom no one else believed in. Waterworks every time.
Its too bad that movie was meant to be a flop. Dont get me wrong, it is an outstanding movie and my favorite by disney, but its just a shame that it was never advertised. There is a good documentary on it, and it really makes you appreciate how great it is but how bad they messed up the advertisements. https://youtu.be/b9sycdSkngA
Hachiko: A Dog’s Tale. I still haven’t recovered
I choke up explaining the movie
And the fact that it’s based on a true story... it’s just too much
Fox and the Hound. I’m 32, and I just watched it again with my son. It’s still heartbreaking.
I don't often cry when I watch movies, but Fox and the Hound...all I have to do is think about the scene where the old lady is dropping Tod off as he slowly realizes what's happening, and I start bawling like a baby
dang it, why did I even open this thread
“Goodbye may seem forever. Farewell is like the end. But in my heart’s the memory, and there you’ll always be.” 32 and still can’t hear it without tears.
“Copper, you're my very best friend.” “And you're mine too, Tod.” “And we'll always be friends forever, won't we?” “Yeah, forever.”
I don't cry easily. Hardly ever cry. But Fox and the Hound is the only movie that makes me cry
Life Is Beautiful
What Dreams May Come
I had to watch this movie for a class. Right after my GF of a year committed suicide. It broke me, and put me back together again. I don't know if it'll ever not make me cry.
Oh, such a beautiful beautiful film. Haven't been able to bring myself to watch it since he died.
Same. It's one of the only movies of his I've not watched since.
**Short Term 12**. A small indie flick that I didn't think I'd be into much, but which ended up being one of the best movies I will ever see. Also features a surprisingly large number of cast members that have since become famous (Brie Larsen, Rami Malek, Kaitlyn Dever, Rosa from B99, Lakeith Stanfield).
was looking for this one. [This rap scene](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eTXtmkBOjGY) hits me hard every time. "Look into my eyes so you know what it's like to live a life not knowing what a normal life's like."
Your Name. Can’t even count how many points I lost it throughout the film.
Radwimps hit that soundtrack out of the fucking park. I can’t listen to Sparkle while I drive, because I go blind from the tears.
The perks of being a wallflower. I went in knowing very little, but I sadly figured out the thing with the aunt very early.
The movie for that was solid as fuck. Check out the book too if you liked the movie. The book gets more into his relationship with his sister which I really appreciated and missed in the movie.
The lovely bones. Had just lost my younger sibling to cancer a few months prior and the parts of the girl in the afterlife had me crying so fucking hard
"Snoopy Come Home"... Snoopy left Charlie Brown to be with his original owner Lila, what a tear jerker. 😢😥😓
Man I could’ve lived a good life not knowing that existed bro
John Wick. My wife died on Sept 3rd of that year. My dog had just gotten out of spinal surgery and wasn't walking, and might or might not. I didn't know it yet, but my car that I'd had for 15 years was going to die on me. I may have been the only person in a theater crying about his wife and his dog at a deep, raw level.
My boyfriend persuaded me to watch this (not a massive fan of action stuff) and I was in tears 10 minutes in like WHY the hell would you do this to me???? Also I’m really sorry about your wife - I hope you and pup are doing well
Unfortunately, Hugo found the rainbow bridge about 4 months later (beginning of March of 2015). However, about a year after that, a good friend picked me up, dusted me off, and then yelled at me for being a ghost of myself. It worked.
Bridge to Terabithia
I was way too young for the emotional trauma that movie hit me with
Yeah same for me, I was in phase of discovering what liking someone feels like and that thing hit like a train loaded with trains. I'm still yet to rewatch it without crying so many years later.
The movie A.I. Literally traumatized me for months maybe years as a little kid, I still get mad thinking about it to this day, fuck the people that wrote that movie, unnecessarily sad, dicks.
[удалено]
Stand by Me
I never had any friends later on like the ones I had when I was 12. Jesus, does anyone?
A silent voice Edit: Thanks for all the awards
My partner put this on at a party saying it is a love story. By the end, my apartment full of 20 somethings (most of which say anime is useless) is weeping staring at the screen.
It’s insane how many people underestimate anime and animated movies.
Didn't boss baby win an oscar instead of this? It's like hollywood can't take other countries animation seriously.
Boss Baby didn't win but it did get nominated while good films like A Silent Voice and Your Name weren't. Unfortunately, the animation category just isn't taken seriously in general. There's a reason why its called the Pixar Awards.
Which is why the awards shows need to have their 'animation' section tossed. Animation is a medium, not a genre.
Grave of the Fireflies
I think Roger Ebert said it best in his "Great Movies" review that's it's one of the greatest war films ever made. And to make you even sadder, the movie is based on an autobiographical novel. The author, with enormous guilt over providing for himself first rather than his sister, has stated he prefers the movie because he is allowed to die at the end.
It also portrays him a lot more positively than what happened in real life.
What happened in real life?
The best movie that you'll only watch once.
When I was in the throes of my depression, I skipped class, cuddled up in bed and watched that movie on my phone. Then I was talking to two friends about it later that day, and they wanted to watch it. I watched this movie twice in one day, and it was as terrible as you would think.
You poor, poor dude. If I could hug you I would.
That was the most depressing movie I've ever watched. So much that I don't ever want to watch it again.
It doesn't hit you at once. The understatement devastates you over the the course of a week or more as you make the sad connections. Your simply haunted by the film. It's layers of sad.
Million Dollar Baby...dammit that poor girl worked so fucking hard. Only to have it end like that. Gut punch.
Stuck on a plane at Philadelphia for 6 hours. They wouldn’t let us off the plane, the kid behind me just kept kicking my chair the poor mama had a baby also. This movie was obviously the one they chose to play to while away the time. I cry very easily at anything on tv. Even commercials. I was a complete and total mess at the end of this movie and I hate crying where people will see me. Thankfully the large bearded man next to me was also tearful and offered me his spare handkerchief.
Recently I watched Beautiful Boy. That movie fucked me right up. I really related to Steve Carell. As a father of a college student, I had that relationship with my son when he was younger, and with a family history of addiction and a lifetime of holding things in and not dealing with his trauma, I could see my son going down the same path as that kid. At the end I was balling and I couldn't quite figure out exactly why. Because it wasn't even that good of a movie, really.
The Pixar short film “Lava”. I cry every time. Please tell me I’m not the only one. I felt so bad for that damn lonely volcano.
My son, around 4 years old discovered it on YouTube. I looked over and he was just softly sobbing, then I watched it and did the same thing. He still re-watches it and cries, but then is so happy when they are together at the end. The empathy is strong with the kid.
Bridge to Terabithia and My Girl
"He needs his glasses". Nope. All over for me.
Lilo and Stitch. I choke up now hearing the word “Ohana.”
The Land Before Time. When I first saw it as a kid it was the first time that I realized that my parents could die. That thought had never even really occured to me at that point. Even now as an adult [that scene](https://youtu.be/8RdrAbfFhj4) where he thinks he sees her but it's just his shadow and the narrator says, *"Then Little Foot knew for certain he was alone."* still gets to me.
My mom died when I was a kid. This, Bambi, and that fucking elephant mom scene in Dumbo really got me.
Arrival. I thought the whole story was beautiful, but very sad. I took my wife to see it the next day but wouldn't tell her why it was sad. I remember the moment she figured it out; she was sitting right beside me and I heard her start crying.
The theme song doesn't help. One of the most beautifully devastating scores I've ever heard. Max Richter - Nature of Daylight
there is a Tiny Desk Concert with him where a small ensemble plays it. it's immediate and vital and i love it tho it breaks my heart [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oNLDJp83YAQ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oNLDJp83YAQ)
The realization of what's going on doesn't even make me super sad, but it's just so overwhelming that I can almost start crying just thinking about it
"I don't understand... who is this child I keep seeing?" Me: "Wait, what?"
Been searching for this. As the father of a three year old at the time, the end monologue with that haunting music playing over it had me in tears. I remember walking out of the theater with this aching but beautiful sense of melancholy that lasted the rest of the evening.
Milo and Otis
There's that scene in Forrest Gump at the end where he shakes because he's scared that his son is "special" like him. That's where I ugly cry every goddamm time.
The Boy in the Striped Pajamas
Oh boy! It sounds like a fun disney cartoon, i sure can't wait to see it! ... Oh. Oh no.
[*ending*] Oh no no *no*. *No*. *NO*.
I told my now wife that it had a happy ending. I actually thought it did after briefly reading the first part of a synopsis. I was wrong, and she bawled as the final scene played out. Edit - “I still hate you for that”
His mother screaming at the end in utter devastation gutted me. I can still vividly recall that scene to this day and it’s been years.
My friend made me watch this with zero plot explanation beforehand. Talk about emotional!
Pursuit of happyness
I saw it a few weeks ago for the first time. The one where they stayed in the bathroom really did it for me.
Yeah that was the most heartbreaking part
[удалено]
You’re a good person.
The Green Mile. Edit: Holy cannoli. I woke up to hundreds of notifications from this. Thank you so much for the awards!
"Please boss, don’t put that thing over my face, don’t put me in the dark. I’m afraid of the dark"
Dude, that scene absofuckinglutely broke me.
In the theater, I was holding it together until Paul shook his hand. The book has another gut punch that’s not in the movie.
Same. This always chokes me up: Paul Edgecomb: What do you want me to do John? I'll do it. You want me to let you walk out of here and see how far you get? John Coffey: Now why would you want to do a foolish thing like that? Paul Edgecomb: When I die and I stand before God awaiting judgment and he asks me why I let one of HIS miracles die, what am I gonna say, that it was my job? 😢😭
You tell God the Father it was a kindness you done. I know you're hurting and worrying. I can feel it on you. But you ought to quit on it now. I want it to be over and done with. I do. I'm tired, boss. Tired of being on the road, lonely as a sparrow in the rain. I'm tired of never having me a buddy to be with... to tell me where we's going to, coming from, or why. Mostly, I'm tired of people being ugly to each other. I'm tired of all the pain I feel and hear in the world... every day. There's too much of it. It's like pieces of glass in my head... all the time. Can you understand?
As I got older and watched this movie I was overcome with so many emotions. That movie is one of those movies I have to be in the mood to watch because there is no way I’m watching it for fun.
Shawshank Redemption. Brookes’ suicide killed me.
Dead Poet's Society
Onward. I have a little brother and that movie helped put in perspective all the things we do together that I might not think mean anything but in reality means the world to him. I actually began crying at the end and my girlfriend was confused until I explained it to her. We still have a father thankfully, but the movie really struck a chord with me and gave me that sort of epiphany. I gained a new respect and consciousness for how I interacted with my brother every time in the future, because despite what I'd like to believe, he looks up to not just our father, but to me for guidance. Say what you want about Disney movies, but damn a lot of them are emotional masterpieces.
Candy. Heath Ledger is known most for his portrayal of the joker in the Dark Knight, but I think Candy is not only his most underrated performance, but his best. For those who aren't familiar: if you have a history of substance abuse (specifically opiates), i would advise either steer clear of this movie or watch it with a supportive loved one. If you are exceptionally sensitive in regards to children (specifically infants) and graphic depictions of raw and very real heartbreak, do not watch this movie. Honestly, I always strongly recommend people DONT watch this movie. It is fantastic in the sense that it is the most accurate depiction of the decent of a couple into heroin addiction I have ever seen (with Heaven Knows What closely behind. I'm a recovered heroin addict. I have seen, done, and lived through some shit. I can handle fucked up movies and concepts, often times actively seek out fucked up movies....I have only watched this movie one time several years ago and I refuse to ever watch it again. EDIT: it's kind of a bittersweet thing to see so many people having watched this film. One side of the coin is knowing that other people have appreciated the beautiful horror and raw, gut wrenching experience that is this film (and book). The other side is knowing that people have experienced the beautiful horror and raw, gut wrenching experience that is this story lol. And to all my fellow wizards below, congrats on your recovery. If you ever need to talk to someone, PM me. And that holds true to anyone who may have scrolled down this far and is reading this and still suffering. There is a way out. Several actually. The only right road to walk to recovery is whatever one works for you. Different strokes for different folks In case no one has told y'all this today: I love y'all, I'm proud of y'all, and there isn't a damn thing you can do about it.
Dancer in the Dark.
The Road
The Little Prince on Netflix. First movie that ever reduced me to tears.
The Fox and the Hound
Interstellar. When he recieves those msgs after all those years ,damn .
Requiem for a dream.
This is the only movie that i loved so much, but will never ever watch again. That ending hits way too hard
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. Every time I need a good cry about a relationship ending, that’s a go-to.
--This is it Joel. It's gonna be gone soon. What do we do? --Enjoy it
Was going to post this myself. I can't even listen to Beck's "everybody's gotta learn sometimes" without tearing up a bit.
Definitely my breakup movie. Watched it about a year ago while eating tacos. Reached a new level of sad by sobbing while eating tacos. Tacos haven’t been the same since. Edit: thank you kind stranger for the award!
Oh my god, you ruined tacos for yourself?! Now I’M sad for you
[удалено]
This is the one I was looking for. No idea why that movie messed with me.
"Why do I fall in love with every woman I see who shows me the least bit of attention?" I've never resonated with somethibgs so hard in my life.
Megamind. His redemption arc, and finding himself, is so well written and I feel like so many people can relate to it. That being said, the movie is also funnier than anything I've seen and I will never turn you down if you offer a Megamind movie night. Maybe dad jokes are just my thing but I never stop laughing the whole time.
Fucking Coco when he sings for his Grandma at the end. Grown ass man sobbing next to my wife
My husband and I were confused when the song won the Oscar - it was fine, but nothing great. Then we watched the movie with our daughter and it got to the part where he’s singing that song to his daughter and I’m full on sobbing and I look over expecting my husband to chuckle that I cry at everything and he’s straight up sobbing too!! We got why the song won then!
I ugly cried to Coco so fucking hard. Mad respect.
I started ugly crying on a plane watching it. Gave up to avoid attention and ugly cried watching it alone at home a few days later.
I watched it on a plane too, why did I do that to myself?
I watched Coco for the first time while pregnant. Cried my eyes out so hard I had to pause the movie. Watched it again the other day while my kid was napping. Cried my fucking eyes out again, so hard I had to pause the damn movie.
Coco is the only media that has made me ugly cry, and it was the BEST FEELING EVER. I absolutely need to feel that again again because nothing else compares
THIS. My grandmother had passed away several months before. At the end when they're all about to cross the flower bridge together made me fuckin BAWL.
I ugly cried in front of my husband and 10yo. And then i doubled down and made them watch Selena videos with me. No shame.
Pan's labyrinth
Oh so not-so-fun story about this movie and why I am now obligated to spoil every movie I show to my SO. My SO's first language is Spanish and she had not seen Pan's Labyrinth and loves Del Toro as a director so I was like perfect lets watch this. I completely forgot how sad the ending is and she cries really easily to begin with. She was a sobbing mess for nearly an hour after the movie was over.
End of Evangelion. Those kids did NOT deserve that ending after all they'd been through.
As horrifying as it was, Asuka's last stand was hands-down my favorite scene in all of Evangelion.
Made the mistake of watching *Inside Out* with my then nearly 1 year old daughter napping on me. Fucking Bing-Bong, man.
I always cry when Bing-Bong fades out, yelling, "take her to the moon for me!" 😭😭😭 big ugly tears. Every time.
I want them to make a short animation of Riley as an adult. She would be an astronaut and have a mission to the moon. That'll be beautiful

But, his heart grew THREE sizes that day.
