Movies that make you cry?

Tools    





Wreck-It Ralph, Big Hero Six, Up, Finding Nemo, WALL-E. Especially WALL-E.
Wall-E has some really powerful scenes. It's first half specially and the time when Wall-E almost died and eva replaced all his parts at the same time and it looked like he died. That part was very powerful.



Care for some gopher?
Which one? I was almost crying during the whole thing in my second watch. In the first I didn't care much because I though it was forced.
WARNING: "Grave of the fireflies" spoilers below
I'm talking about the scene where his sisters dies of starvation.

The Crying Game
Boys Don't Cry
Cry Freedom
Cry-Baby


We will see if Cry Macho joins the list when it comes out.



Heh. You forgot A Cry in the Dark.

What's the most recent movie to make anyone cry? I think mine is Circus of Books, the Netflix documentary about the LGBTQ bookstore in Hollywood. There's a sequence featuring employees who died much earlier than they should have that is so sad.



Movie Forums Squirrel Jumper
The Machinist
Mysterious Skin
Schindler's List
Ice Age
Rise of the Planet of the Apes



Not now, but at the time being viewed, ones I got misty eyed for different reasons.



Just thinking about Watership Down can make me tear up.

Also, I read the book on which The Neverending Story was based, and in the book, Artax can talk. So, you know, just to add on to that childhood trauma.

I am a sympathetic crier, so during one sequence of In and Of Itself I teared up a bit. Do you mean most recently watched or most recently released?

Most recently released. I ask because I looked at everything I watched in 2020 and little to nothing produced any tears. Granted, I didn't watch that much, but are movies less willing to make us cry any more? Just a theory. Maybe I'm just getting old and cynical.



The Shawshank Redemption, The Godfather 3 in the end..

Have you seen Little Women? Because both the beach scene and another scene shortly after that got me (and the rest of the theater).
