Films/Scenes that made you cry - Suddenly, it started raining...indoors.

[Akashic Retard]

It’s a pleb choice but both because it’s very nostalgic for me and also because it’s a tear jerker at multiple scenes: Forrest Gump

Amateurs all of you, this is the saddest film ever, I had to leave the room cause I was in tears. Heartbreaking scene.

 

[Iron Jaguar]

I was in tears

Like, of laughter? Of joy? I can see how that would be socially awkward, say, at a movie theatre.

Anyhoozle, for me it was the film 'Lion'. That had a few heartwrenching moments.

Life #6 : Diana's Piano scene in Garfield's 9 Lives.

The show came on Teletoon one day a few years ago. I left it on not thinking 80's Garfield would leave me sobbing.

When Calvin Candie dies in Django

Most of mine have already been posted. I'm a sucker for getting emotionally drawn into a good movie (thank God!). A couple that stick out -

Endings to Rocky I and II. Bawled like a baby when I first saw them.

Spock's death.

The end of Saving Private Ryan, at the graveside.

Also David Tennant's final episode as the Doctor, where he goes around and pays some of his debts before regenerating. That last line - "I don't want to go". Considering what the BBC has done to the show since then it takes on an additional weight and sadness.

Though it never quite brought me to tears the end of "On Her Majesty's Secret Service" is always poignant. Perhaps the most emotional moment in any Bond film.

 

[Tragi-Chan]

This one might be a little obscure, but it’s from Brassed Off, which IMO is a very underrated film.

 

[Overcast]

I remember watching One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest for the first time about two years ago. I remember smiling and cheering when Billy got laid and initially stood up to Ratched. But then she pulled the "What would your mother think?" card on him and caused him to slowly break down. The way she looked at him and talked down to him was so goddamned vile and her utter callousness to him killing himself leading to Murphy attempting to strangle her was all very overwhelming to me.

Then the scene revealing Murphy got lobotomized came up and I just lost it. Dude was a statutory rapist and I was crying over him, as well as Billy.

 

[The handsome tard]

This.

Just...all of this.

If there is a scene that speaks for the fatherless, its this one. Not just for the child but for everyone around him. It also speaks about the anxiety of fatherhood and how its scary, indeed, but you gotta face it for the sake of the life you brought into the world and their happiness. I just love how Uncle Phil seemed this close to beating the lights out of Lou for acting like a teenager when he is in his late 30's if not older by this point but holding back none the less.

That "TO HELL WITH HIM!!" and "How come he dont want me, man...?" just...pure heart break

Spoiler: Succession spoiler

I cried when the father died. I was drunk tho.

 

[Dildo_SHwaggins]

"To my big brother George, the richest man in town"

 

[ShiftyBoi]

I can't think of too many that made me cry as an adult, Mary and Max might be one, I feel like the soliloquy from Blade Runner would have done it if osmosis hadn't spoiled it for me, also if Blade Runner was a little snappier with pacing.

Other than that, a real tear jerker is probably the Adam and Eve scene from the Adventures of Mark Twain. Perfect combination of visuals, music, and acting.

"It's a good word, and bears repeating"

 

[BrunoMattei]

One film that moves me is Werner Herzog's Fitzcarraldo. It's one of those slow European arthouse films but the plot of a man hauling a steamboat over a mountain in order to live out his dreams (in this instance having an opera house) greatly resonates with me. As it should for anyone that wants to do something with their life.

Klaus Kinski was a lot of things up to and including being a genuinely insane egomaniac, an attempted murderer, and an absolute sonofabitch to most people who had to interact with him. But under Herzog he was brilliant. I feel this insane passion to live out your dream that he displays in this scene. And the ending where -he didn't complete his goal exactly as intended but was able to have an opera- is just pure cinema and pure emotion. It's beautiful and haunting.

I recognize the irony that I'm the go-to guy for trashy and insane grindhouse/exploitation cinema but yet I love European arthouse films.
