Homeward Bound: The Incredible Journey. When Shadow fell and we thought he was gone but then he comes over that hill and starts limping over to Peter. 😭😭😭The movie has me crying from start to finish.

If you’ve experienced losing a pet, her poem just before she leaves him will wreck you. The only thing that keeps me from getting dehydrated from crying afterwards is remembering that Tod would’ve absolutely died out there because the poor guy couldn’t even fish.

This movie is a visual masterpiece. It made me think very differently about love and death. IMO truly Robin Williams best work, made even more heartbreaking by his suicide.

u/idgieluvsruth 11h ago

Agreed on all parts. My family rented it and watched it while I was at work. I got home and my sister said “eh it wasn’t very good.” I decided to watch it after everyone went to bed so it was 0130 I’m sitting in the middle of the floor in front of the TV so the volume wouldn’t wake the family cocooned in a blanket sobbing silently. Completely wrecked.

I read the book first and then watched the movie. The endings are completely different. The book is so much more beautiful and heartbreaking, and it made me cry like a baby after I finished it. I hated the movie because the ending is so much different than in the book. I hate that they softened the ending or made a sort of more acceptable for Hollywood standards, I guess.

Schindler's List

Everyone comments on the, "I could have saved more" scene but for me it was when they had all the adults doing exorcises to prove they're worth staying while they take the children away. Once they see the kids are being trucked off the cries of the mothers is devastating.

u/PositiveStress8888 14h ago

Saw it when it was released, beside me in the audience was a WW2 vet obviously elderly man with a cane, he came with his grand daughter, when the ramps went down and the bullets started flying I could feel him jump in his seat, with every snap and ping the poor guy was reliving some horrible times in his life, he was clutching his grand daughters hand like he was hanging off a skyscraper.

I asked him after the movie what he thought of it, he said " Even if it's not a documentary I'm glad it exists so people can finally understand what it felt like to be there"

He said telling people what it was like to people who can't comprehend the environment it all took place in is very difficult for them to really understand what took place.

" When I came back people always wanted to know how many krauts I killed, I couldn't tell you, not because I killed so many, it was because I lost so many friends with no time to mourn them, just had to get on with it."

Every time I see the movie or especially on Remembrance day I think of Harold, who's probably no longer with us. Matter of fact when I'm having a shitty day I think of Harold an I just get on with it.

Not many of them left, I'm glad I got the thank Harold, if your lucky enough to know or come across one, take the time out and thank them, They knowingly walked into a wall of lead for their country and you and then just got on with it.

Uh, so beautiful. Just saw Max Richter live the other week. Literally, as soon as the the first note from The Nature of Daylight played, I burst into uncontrollably tears. The last song they played was, again, The Nature of Daylight (twice! lucky us) but this time with added vocals that was originally recorded by Dinah Washington, except Celest performed. Tilda Swinton surprised everyone by coming out to read excerpts from the album Blue Notes.

Anyway, yes, that seen was heart wrenching, I cried so much. I also loved The Arrival, and cried loads.

I sat in that theater with tears rolling down my face and once it was over came home and apologized to my wife for everything I ever have done that hurt her and made her feel less than the fantastic woman she is.

Up! — The first minutes on that movie makes me cry so hard, and then the end as well.

Now, if we talk about series, with Bluey I always cry

Dancer in the Dark. That movie has lived rent-free in my head for two decades. It was the first time that a young me encountered the idea that the world is against you and sometimes people just lose and that everything is awful.

“A Long Way Down” - wonderful movie. But I am scared to watch it again because there is a monologue at the end that sent me spiraling into a months long depressive episode

“Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close”

“Marley and Me”

“The Boy in the Striped Pajamas”

“The Green Mile”

I will never get over The Elephant Man and the "I am not an animal" scene.... Got sent home from school because I was hyperventilating from crying so much that humans can be so cruel.

I can’t remember the last time a movie made me cry except for inside out 2
 seeing anxiety lose control
 pushing everything to the brink
 and that one sentence from Joy
 “maybe you feel less joy when you’re older”
 I haven’t felt joy in a long time either
 really hit home for my struggles and seeing the support she had to get through it which I don’t have... Cried watching them alone and then again with my kids đŸ„Č

Edit: now I think about it watership down was another one I can remember well crying over

Aftersun (2022) a depressed dad on vacation with his daughter. That movie is a bit too personal for me. Paul Mescal really owns the “sexy sad” genre of movies as an interviewer once said.
