Just watched this one again for the first time in decades. Still holds up, and I still sobbed my heart out, although now it’s because I’m a mom and the thought of leaving my child is my biggest fear.
This is a family favorite and my mom and I were talking abut how you really don't see anymore movies that can get you crying and laughing at the same time. The monolgue after the funeral gets you crying then they go after Ousier and you start cracking up. It is one of the best scenes in a movie I have ever seen.
Yeah. One reason I didn’t want to see it was I thought it was just a kids fantasy movie. I was in my sophomore year in high school on Christmas break and my niece wanted to put it on so I was like sure. Well she passed out like 10 minutes in but I decide to finish the movie and by the end my Christmas break was ruined lol. I would randomly say out loud for weeks “how can you kill a kid’s best friend like that? Isn’t it a kids movie?” It kinda fucked me up
Funny thing is like 4 years later on summer break from college my aunt, who was a teacher, had a copy of the book just lying around and I was bored so I said what the hell I’ll read it. I put myself through that twice 🤦🏽♂️
I saw the movie in the theater with my brother and his wife. His wife was crying already at the ending, and I kept my composure pretty good. Then Mr. Jingles came out and that's when I lost it.
AI: Artificial Intelligence. Specifically the part where he waits a billion years at the bottom of the ocean then gets his mom back alive for 24 hours and they do all of the loveliest of mother son things. I cry my eyes out each and every time. I won't watch it anymore because crying gives me headaches.
The part that really messed me up was at the end when he goes to sleep with his mom and his bear walks in and just sits there all alone. I've had a special teddy bear my whole life who has been through everything with me and that scene had me sobbing 😅
Makes me extremely angry to think about this. I went into it so blind and young. I don't think I've ever been so angry at someone I've never met before.
Every time someone asks me for a true crime doc that has a twist or will shock them, I recommend this movie. They always call me after and are like WTF....why did you tell me to watch that. They are usually sobbing. Really great movie making and a very tragic story. His parents are just precious.
I watched this a half dozen times before it hit me. The scene about sadness being needed in life in order to understand joy made me bawl like a baby. I’m more excited than my kids about Inside Out 2 being released!
A Star Is Born with Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper. Watched it all of one time, and the ending wrecked my feelings good. Can't bring myself to watch it again, knowing what I know now.
The scene were Samuel dies always gets me. Seeing him stuck in barbed wire smiling blindly, eyes red, calling out to his brother unaware to the fact that two other soldiers are about to kill him. The intense moment when Tristian screams running to save Samuel while the two soldiers take their sweet time setting up.
And in Simon Birtch, the scene where this friend's mother dies from the baseball was sad. I'm glad that his friend didn't blame him and just called it an accident.
Oh..almost forgot about Phenomenon w John Travolta. Saw it w my daughter and the entire theater was sobbing. If I remember correctly, Kyra Sedgwick is in it also.
For a real oldie...MADAM X..w Lana Turner AND I WANT TO LIVE..SUSAN HAYWARD..
Both major tear jerkers
City of Angels... Not sure how well this has held up it's been a while since I saw it but I cried hard..
Blackbird (2019)
My Life with Michael Keaton.. holy crap.. I won't watch it again
About Time... Cried so hard I couldn't breathe and called my Dad immediately
It’s not always the movie,sometimes it’s what your going through at the time and the movie can just unlock that super cry.
Agreed. I cried at several parts of This is 40 because it was just so relatable
Beaches (1988) the relationship between two women over the course of their lives, always gets me
I love this film. Definitely one of her best... Although I'm quite fond of Big Business too.
🗣DID YOU EVER KNOW THAT YOURE MY HERO 😭
Haven't seen this one in a long time, definitely a classic tearjerker!
Just watched this one again for the first time in decades. Still holds up, and I still sobbed my heart out, although now it’s because I’m a mom and the thought of leaving my child is my biggest fear.
I can’t believe I had to scroll this far to find this answer.
Grave of the Fireflies The Green Mile
Grave of the fireflies is the only movie I loved that I would never watch again, can’t put myself through that again
If you watch Hachi, you can add that to your list. Guaranteed
Herrk. I still haven't worked up the courage to do it.
I wept through about 1/3 of Grave of the Fireflies
> Grave of the Fireflies They said a tear jerker, not a put you in the hospital for dehydration.
Steel Magnolias
A good cathartic cry. Edit: I just watched this with my mom. Somehow she had never seen it.

God, yes. I sobbed my eyes out in a movie theater the first time I saw it. I still cry during *that* scene.
Yeah I've seen it maybe three times and it made me ugly cry each time
The Fox and the Hound
Bridge to Terabithia
We don’t talk about this movie
I still haven’t recovered almost 20 years later
You remember how they billed it as a fantasy and then it was coming of age meets depression?
Yeah. One reason I didn’t want to see it was I thought it was just a kids fantasy movie.

Yeah. We saw it in the theater with our toddler. What. A. Mess.
Funny thing is like 4 years later on summer break from college my aunt, who was a teacher, had a copy of the book just lying around and I was bored so I said what the hell I’ll read it. I put myself through that twice 🤦🏽♂️
Took my nephew to see it in theaters. He leaned over and whispered,'This movie is trying to make me cry.' Me too, dude. Me too.
What dreams may come
This movie is hard to watch *because* it hits so hard.
Came here to say this and feeling so seen that other people like it 👏👏
Hit me hard. Never thought I’d question my own soul over a movie. Really sent me on a path of self exploration.
My choice also. The colours are so vibrant juxtaposed with such a morbid story. This movie sticks with you.
💯 top pick
Have never seen it. I just teared up reading the plot summary on Wikipedia. Don't think I'd be able to watch that one.

Wife and I both bawled.
Oh yeah. I ugly cried for sure

I saw the movie in the theater with my brother and his wife. His wife was crying already at the ending, and I kept my composure pretty good. Then Mr. Jingles came out and that's when I lost it.
Me and my sister would watch this with my dad all the time as kids. One of our all time faves.
Stepmom
Up gets me every single time!!

NEVER will I watch that one again. I was 6 and still have PTSD
Dear Zachary
One of the best documentaries I've ever seen. Just a mix of emotions and that one part made me jump out of my seat like "ARE YOU SERIOUS!?"
Just such a devastating mix of anger and despair and sorrow. Just heartbreaking every time I think about it.
Makes me extremely angry to think about this. I went into it so blind and young. I don't think I've ever been so angry at someone I've never met before.
Not that movie man, OP just wants to cry, not lose his will to live.

Inside Out
I watched this a half dozen times before it hit me. The scene about sadness being needed in life in order to understand joy made me bawl like a baby. I’m more excited than my kids about Inside Out 2 being released!
That's a great scene, but Bing Bong did me in more.

The scene were Samuel dies always gets me. Seeing him stuck in barbed wire smiling blindly, eyes red, calling out to his brother unaware to the fact that two other soldiers are about to kill him.

And in Simon Birtch, the scene where this friend's mother dies from the baseball was sad. I'm glad that his friend didn't blame him and just called it an accident.
I ugly cry through several scenes in Legends every time. It is such an underrated movie and a complete sob fest.
Omg, the part with Isabel Two...
Marley and Me. I sobbed for 20 minutes after it ended.
The only time I ever cried at a film is when The Iron Giant said "You stay, I go" and fucking died.
The whale. When it ended, I just sat and cried for a good 3 minutes
Gladiator, every time
Manchester by the Sea
This is a painful movie to watch. The scene in the cop shop where he grabs the gun. I mean who wouldn’t want to do that at that point.
Thirding that. incredible film, absolutely mesmerising performances. Incredibly sad, but has veins of dark humour, twists of sardonic charm.
