Also great that Wallace screaming Freedom was the last thing the king heard before he croaked.

edit: not related to movies but since it's St. Patty's Day +1, I saw this a few years ago and cried. The Dropkick Murphy's show up at the house of a child with cancer he wasn't able to go outside so they played a little show for him.

Someone mentioned Ponyo and pretty much all Miyazaki movies make my eyes wet and my chest tight and I dont know why. Totoro especially turns me into a mess.

Totoro was a non-starter for me, but I think it was spoiled for me, like people had built it up a whole lot and being mentioned in the same breath as Princess Monoke. So I was expecting a lot more than it delivered. But I was just wrong in expecting more.

I liked it enough, it just did not have enough meat on the bones for me, like the whole thing kinda felt like the preamble to an act that never happened, it was lovely and sweet, and the whole dualism of perception, adult and child was really cool. A perfectly lovely little movie

Would watch it happily with a kid though, that would be a riot and a half

Laputa is pretty cool, Nausicaa aswell

Growing up there was a miazaki month thing on tv so I got to watch a bunch

That lupin movie miazaki helped with is also a blast, but I'm getting off thread

Watching my daughter watch Totoro for the first time when she was 3 was awesome. When he does his big ROOAAAAARRRR and his mouth gets huge, she was scared for a split second then erupted in laughter. And after seeing the movie she started doing big gestures at trees to make them grow :3:

Four Weddings and a Funeral when John Hannah gives the speech at the funeral and his voice cracks

Neverending Story. As a kid, of course Artax's death hit hard. I rewatched it as an adult and I think the Rockbiter's despair was worse. It's maybe more of an adult fear, that feeling of worthlessness.

I got a letter from the government the other day
opened it, read it
it said they was bitches




Oh yeah the rockbiter scene is perfect, no notes. He's not just strong, he's children's book strong. He's the strongest thing there is, he is strength itself. There's no question that he can protect everybody, and then all of a sudden he can't protect anybody

Seeing him like that is like seeing your dad cry for the first time

No, I like my hat, thanks.
Can't find a good clip of it, but the ending of Black Caesar starring Fred Williamson. The whole movie is a really great tragic character study, and the ending where he gets beaten to death by a gang of kids is a poignant bookend with the opening scene where he's a kid helping a mobster murder an older guy. Also it's a really great time capsule of old NYC, and the soundtrack with James Brown is fantastic.

That scene never quite hit for me because I saw it well after any illusion I had of my "dad" being strong was dispelled. Like "oh yeah sometimes big strong dudes fail yeah" was how 8 year-old me parsed that one. I get what you mean though, that must be devastating for a little kid.

Artax on the other hand.... goddamn yeah losing a companion/pet/friend is just the worst.

Yeah Totoro is a very light truffle of a movie with just enough heft around the edges for adults, but is still something you watch when you're either ultra-young or old as poo poo and looking to remember what childlike logic is. Not quite
a cry movie but the anxieties the kids have about their sick mom are on-point for how really small ones process that kind-of topic and might hit you harder.

-----------------------------------------

Watching it last night, one movie that surprisingly didn't make me cry despite hitting on some really heavy poo poo was 2019's Shazam! The sequel looks disappointingly middling, but the original was shockingly authentic and full. The scene where Billy finally hunts down his birthmother is played just, note-perfect, in that way where it's so heavy you want to cry but can't.

I think a lot of folks forgot about Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, but after going through a few heart breaks that movie will wreck me now. Every time Kate Winslet whispers “meet me in montauk.” Fuckkkk

There are a handful of moments in this movie that stick with me. When he's figured out that he can't win, that he will lose all these memories, and he's begging to just keep the one memory of goofing off in bed with Clementine. It nails that bittersweet feeling of a happy memory of someone you've lost.

Also, the part where he gets peer pressured into killing a bird as a child then feels ashamed about it. It transports me back to how hard it felt to be a kid, especially when I felt shame or guilt about something. I try to remember those feelings when I'm mad at my kids for whatever stupid poo poo they do.

The music in that movie is also incredible.

The ending of Only The Brave.

I saw it on TV having never heard of it but I wanted to be a wildland firefighter (no way I could have done that) and the cast is great. I was bawling like a child. I saw it a year or two ago.

The fact that it's a true story makes it even more sad.

Oh, ok weird not exactly crying, but definitely the bit where Oscar Isaacs returns to the house in Annihilation, I can't help but have my heart jump with joy when they I initially reunite and then whiplash to a visceral sense of unsettling horror to the deflection (?) Of Portman's line of questioning
