The ultimate tearjerker?

Old Chuck - both the movie and the book, though the film is what really gets me crying...

"Tiger and Dragon", after that last scene

Hmm... The Society of Dead Poets... honestly, that feels like a lifetime ago. I can't help but wonder how that would even play out in today's world.
I don't quite recall the rest... V for Vendetta... Valerie's letter. *with a very unrealistic stutter from N. Portman*

Terminator 2
🙂 🙂 🙂

A Perfect World

I swear, I end up tearing up during pretty much every movie I watch.... The last one that actually broke me was Moulin Rouge... And I’ve probably seen it at least ten times by now... Still, every single time, that ending gets me.

I don't even touch Bambi anymore because honestly, it's just too much trauma for me... And don't even get me started on The Lion King...

I remember sobbing through the entire thing when I watched the Green Mile.... Everything else is usually a bit more low-key... My favorite kind of crying, though, is when I start weeping during a movie that actually has a happy ending... Just pure relief because the main characters finally get together or things turn out okay in the end...

Lassie...

Sweet November (2001)

I didn't cry, but I definitely came close.

A Perfect World (1993)

This one hits just as hard.

I was actually just about to suggest "A Perfect World" myself, though if we aren't talking about that or "Passion," most of those films centered on Jesus' death tend to follow a pretty predictable path anyway, don't they?

as for me,
I’d say 7. star žućo is the first one that really stuck with me—I even have the book! I think 👍 mentioned it here once before, didn't they?

I don't usually get emotional during movies, but these specific ones left a lump in my throat.😢
Dammit, what can you do when you just crave a happy ending?

I usually try to keep things original, but then I remember Lassie and Heidi... :buuu:

Dancer in the Dark.

If someone tells me they didn't cry during Dancer in the Dark, honestly... I don't think we can be friends. I'm done. Life's too short for that kind of emotional detachment.

And then there's The Bodyguard—which is obviously a bit lighter and, let's face it, way dumber. But man, when she finally runs into his arms at the end and he’s sitting there in a cast, playing "I Will Always Love You"... it just hits home why I'm such a massive cliché myself. 😁

Rambo: First Blood
That scene at the end where he's talking to the commander right before they nab him.🙂 🙂

Man, I was floored when I found out Rambo was actually supposed to die at the end. 🙂

If a movie doesn't make me cry, I don't think it's any good. 😁
So basically, I’ve probably sobbed through almost every one of my favorites.
The absolute worst were Dancer in the Dark and Requiem for a Dream.
Then there's Lost in Translation, Trainspotting, The Hours, and The Warrior and the Empress.

And as a kid, Dead Poets Society totally wrecked me—oh, and Ou been kept, my kept.

Mhm, and then there's this one specific scene that *always* breaks me in a movie I don't even particularly like. In Passion, it's when Jesus falls, and then there's that flashback where Mary remembers him falling as a child... after that, nothing else hits. Nothing during the torture, nothing during the crucifixion—nothing. But at that one scene? I can't hold it back. I'll be crying for the next ten minutes.

That scene was incredibly dull to me. I find myself rolling my eyes every single time because I honestly can't wrap my head around how some people find it moving, just like how others can't believe Rocky can actually go fifteen rounds. 😈

Man, thinking back to when I used to read (or have it read to me) that book as a kid... I haven't even seen the movie.🙂

Ultra boring? It lasts what... maybe forty-five seconds? And I guess it’s not meant to be entertaining; you’ve got the rest of the movie for that.
It’s this incredibly intimate, deeply human mother-and-child moment. If that scene wasn't there, the movie would just be some messy crap filled with Italian Latin vibes and random jumpscares involving deformed kids like some cheap horror flick. Now *that* would have been boring. ☕

It’s actually an incredibly intimate, raw mother-child moment. Without that specific scene, the whole thing would just be some pretentious mess of Latin dialogue and sudden jumpscares featuring deformed kids, like some low-budget horror flick. That would have been boring. ☕

I realize it’s only 40 seconds long, but that scene is so masochistic that you’re practically counting down the moments until it's over. Only someone completely unaccustomed to intense cinema would find it unsettling.
