The fault in our stars was so sad I wish I hadn't ever watched it. I hate that movie.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

So my sister bought me the wind rises... I went it watching it thinking it was another fun film... I called her after I finished and told her I was not mentally prepared for that.

Such a beautiful film though...

A lot of seens in Logan with Professor X. His mental decline was a gut punch because I was watching my grandfather go through the same thing at the same time. His portrayal was spot on.

Happy with Stark's daughter on the porch talking about cheeseburgers. Such a small moment, but so genuine feeling.

What dreams may come, 1998 movie with Robin Williams.

The scene in Interstellar when he returns from the time dilation to watch like 40 years of updates he missed from his kids.

General Waverly walks out in uniform to find his old unit waiting for him. (“White Christmas”)

Cinema Paradiso. Wonderful Italian film about a boy’s relationship with an elder in the town as he mentally escapes war torn Sicily. Just wholesome and hits hard. It’s a beautiful story and the soundtrack by Ennio Morricone, ohhhh so good.

Toy Story 4. The scene where Woody says goodbye to the rest of the toys and goes off on his new adventure with Bo Peep. Gets me every time.

The original Toy Story was the first movie I remember seeing in a theatre so maybe there's some nostalgia contributing to that.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 day ago

Into the wild when he discovers that human existence isn't meant to be lived in isolation and then dies a few days later in total isolation.

The end of Saving Private Ryan always gets me as well.

Buffy the TV show, when she discovers her mother's dead body.

"Mom? MOM! ... Mommy?" Tears

She looked so lost, it hit me like a gut punch

The last 15 minutes of "The Return of The King," starting with, "My friends... You bow to no one."

Every. Damn. Time.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago

Seen this more times than I can count, and tears every time.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago

Yes. Bawling like a baby!

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago

I found the entire concept, but especially the "happy ending" of Paulie to be tragic and extremely depressing to me.

My mother loved Beaches and Steel Magnolias but they always ruined my day. Then my mother died of cancer and they crossed into the unwatchable list.

Why is anything else listed here?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago

Because the question isn’t, “the most.” And even then, that’s subjective.

I cry quite easily, so a small sample of films that have made my eyes misty are:

The Remarkable Life of Ibelin
Bridge to Terabithia
A Monster Calls

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

+1 for bridge to terabithia. That movie still chokes me up.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I was older and had never read the book. I was not prepared for that turn.

Another one is the movie 'The Fountain' which is played excellently by Hugh Jackman.

"A dog's purpose" movie's main purpose was to be tear jerker.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It's not a movie, it's an old avertisement, and I guarantee you if it doesn't stir something in you, you're not human:

That crash was so cartoonish, I couldn't help but laugh at that.

[–] [email protected] 34 points 2 days ago (2 children)

A few episodes of Futurama. You can guess which ones.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Tap for spoilerJurassic Bark?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

This one gets easier when you remember that they retconned it later.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

That's one for sure.

Edit: but not the biggest culprit for me

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Luck of the fryrish always gets me

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Yeppp that's another one

Edit: still not the biggest one for me

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Game of Tones?

There's like 5 episodes that people always mention. If it's not that, it's probably The Late Philip J Fry, The Sting, or Lethal Inspection

All those crying Pokemon in the first film when Ash is turned into stone.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

Pikachu crying gets me every time :')

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

They're just weeping because he's recently discovered titties are a thing he can potentially enjoy, and Pokemon're no longer very interesting to him, as a result. 🥹
