Old Yeller

If that movie doesn't get you to shed a tear, you're not human.

I'm a pretty hard-boiled tough guy by most standards, and I'm getting a little misty just thinking about it.

2010 (Space Odyssey 2).

Don't cry, it's only thunder.

Grave of the fireflies.

Blade runner.

Just saw Elephant Man at the Music Box Theatre. Incredibly moving film if you haven't seen it. They're currently running a film series on David Lynch and that was the first of his films I had ever seen. Planning to see more this week if I can!

After the Promise 1987

Escape from Sobibor 1987

Dang '87 was a tear jerker fest in my timeline.

Star Trek II: Wrath of Khan always makes me cry. The death of Spock, the exchange between him and Kirk, it always kills me.

Lord of the Rings - The Return of the King. It's been 22 years since release ...

That is not an old movie. It's not a recent movie, but it's not an old movie.

Debatable. There are adults who weren't even born back then.

[–] Deceptichum@quokk.au 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Two decades is old. An 80s movie in the year 2000 was old.

[–] Drusas@fedia.io 2 points 1 month ago (2 children)

I don't agree. I watched tons of movies from the '80s in the 2000s and I didn't really think of them as old. Certainly not recent, but not old old.
