Movies that made you cry

What movies made you cry?

Plus why & which scenes?

Up.

You know why, and you know which.

that's the only one ever?

Also a terrible typo in the thread title

Not by a long shot. Just the first one that came to mind.

I'm an easy cry, I cry at a lot of movies, which actually makes it harder to think of lots of them when I try. But I'll try again later.

I cried on at least 250 movies.

The Champ 1979

I was 10, and absolutely devastated.

Aside from me, my Mom told me a funny story where when we saw Bambi. When the mother gets shot there was this little girl that started crying so hard and loudly that her Dad had to take her out of the theater. Almost within a minute after leaving they returned and she was completely fine. It was so sudden people were surprised, someone asked the Dad "What did you do?". He answered "I told her she was fine and just her batteries had ran out."

I cried on the 1931 version, but NOT during its ending, which I thought to be the weakest part of the film. I haven't seen the 1979 version yet.

The last one I remember, and I'm sure everyone will think it's dumb, but Gravity.


I'm glad I was alone in the theater because I was full-on ugly crying when

Interesting. I didn't find this one very engaging, let alone moving. Anyway, nothing shameful about being moved by art.

There are a lot of them, but the one that leaps to mind and is my go-to answer on Reddit when someone asks for sad movie recommendations is The Broken Circle Breakdown. There are multiple moments in it that make me cry and if you've seen the movie, then I don't need to explain when or why.

All of Us Strangers ...cried pretty much all the way through that one.



After Life (1998) even though it was fairly calm and not manipulative in itself, it was the sort of film that just made you think about life and death.



Barefoot Gen during the war film watching phase last year. The scene where he can't save his family was pretty heartbreaking.

I know this is not the first thread on this subject, but I thought I'd go ahead and post one scene that always makes me lose it no matter how many times I watch it:

So many. Moulin Rouge! put me down for three days.

Just movies?
FLCL gets me all misty-eyed too.

The Fly 2
The scene where he's found out that the dog he befriended when he was younger is still alive after being mutilated by the teleporter. He euthinises the dog to end its sufferring.
I always cry at that part .

Far too many to mention them all. But the ones I cried hardest at:

Dear Zachary
The broken Circle Breakdown
lilyah-4-ever
Aftersun
Close
Blue Valentine
All of us Strangers
The Lovers on a Bridge
Three Colours Blue
Dancer in the Dark
Failan
My Sassy girl (2001)
The Son's room
Poetry
El norte
Grave of the Fireflies
BluJay
The Passion of Joan of Arc
The Rider
Rust and Bone

None. I've never cried at a movie.

Is this a trick question?

No.

All of them?

I am a softy these days. Just hearing the music from the final scene in Arrival, for instance, gets me all misty eyed. Some titles that come to mind that got me are Aftersun, Gravity, The Fountain, Grave of the Fireflys, Million Dollar Baby, Little Women ('94), Interstellar, The Elephant Man

There are many more...
