The most I ever cried during a movie was not really because of the movie. My girlfriend had decided to break up with me and move out. We had a few emotionally lovely weeks of living together while broken up and barely speaking while she looked for an apartment. When her moving day finally arrived, we agreed that she would borrow my truck so she and a couple of her friends could move all her poo poo in one go and I would take her car and go to the movies because I wanted to be somewhere else for a few hours. Meet back later at what was now my apartment, swap back the vehicles and say our goodbyes. That movie was Shrek (2001) The breakup was definitely for the better, but a huge bummer at the time and I will forever laugh at what my movie choice was that day. I haven’t watched it since.

Pennywise the Frown posted:I remember seeing Life as a House in the theater I worked at at the time because I wanted to see Hayden Christiansen in a movie before the Star Wars movie came out. I saw that movie, it was definitely a tearjerker, but hadn’t really thought about it since 2001. I remember that Kevin Kline was really good.

I've... seen things you people wouldn't believe. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NoAzpa1x7jU&t=100s Also "I wish I knew how to quit you." was made fun of so much when Brokeback Mountain first came out but that is one of the saddest movies I have ever seen and that line is heartbreaking. But the saddest movie ever made is Dancer in the Dark.

Shame, that. Pisses me off that people remember Heath Ledger for the joker more than they do Brokeback Mountain…

I remember watching a Lassie documentary when I was like 8 and I teared up at some scene from the series (it was B&W, I think it was the series) where Lassie comes back after being gone? Something like that if I'm not mandela-ing. Can't find the exact scene.

I've never seen Dancer in the Dark but Breaking the Waves was pretty hosed up and sad. My wife and I watched a 4 hour long banned Chinese movie recently called An Elephant Sitting Still and it was really good and I probably cried at parts.

alright, we've already had Plague Dogs and a child death in Arrival, so I no longer feel bad sharing the moment that will always destroy me, which is Setsuko's passing in Grave of the Fireflies. Seita decides to use the last of their money to go get some food, but...it's too late. they've been starving for too long. There's some small comfort in that she at least gets to pass after tasting the watermelon. but ugh. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZANIAJDIBbo she was the last surviving member of his family, that he works literally the entire film to protect and keep alive. but, he's still just a child himself, in overwhelming and unique circumstances that even the adults around him don't know how to navigate. at the same time as the loss of Setsuko from profound lack of food, all the rich people who were able to flee the violence (unlike them) are returning home and society is 'returning to normal'. just. heartbreaking.

I'm not much of a crier, but I vaguely remember crying in the theater at the end Return of the King because I was with my friends and it was my last year of high school so it felt extra "final" in that moment. I don't even remember what the ending of Return of the King entailed. The last movie moment that made me tear up that I VIVIDLY remember is the scene in Short Circuit when Johnny 5 got the poo poo beat out of him. Biohazard posted:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZQht2yOX9Js Now I feel like an rear end in a top hat for smirking upon seeing this, because I've only seen parodies of it.

Toxic Mental posted:I'd probably cry if I had to watcha 4 hour movie of just an elephant sitting there too tbh It's about how it sucks to be poor in a city in modern Hebei, China. It's actually really well paced and doesn't feel like it's 4 hours. The director was only 29 and he killed himself after making it. But cuz he made the fatal mistake of chasing a bitch when Future clearly advises us that we should chase a check.

The rocket launch scene and the weird montage of personal/world history at the end of Wings of Honneamise. Probably doesn’t make sense without the rest of the movie idk. It tears me up every time https://youtu.be/k7urVoEhZFM

I agree it's heartbreaking But I have a real bone to pick with grave of the fireflies, it's a beautiful movie but a poo poo story that doesn't hold up past a first watch IMO It's literally just bad poo poo happens to a dumb kid for a bit He doesn't learn or have an arc, he's just the same dumb kid at the end, and then had the audacity to start at me at the end as if I'm the one to solve his problems Visually and Emotionally it's really poignant, but that isn't everything that goes into making a story

Jestery posted:I agree it's heartbreaking Would it have been any better if they had kept the original (semi autobiographical) outcome where the brother survives, I wonder. Having Seita die robs him and the audience a chance to see him grow beyond being a dumb kid who screwed up. Like what happened in real life because Seita is based on the original author's childhood

Darth Vader’s funeral at the end of Return of the Jedi with Luke as the only attendee. It’s not so much each character’s journey to get there, but that haunting John Williams score that we first hear when Luke was looking at the binary sunset in A New Hope. Goosebumps and tears. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ehr4uHR78to
