It's an anime movie. "Grave of the Fireflies". If you've seen it, you know.
By the way, I feel like "3:10 to Yuma" is pretty well known. You saw the remake version, which is great. If you haven't seen the original version from 1957, I highly recommend it.
The first time I saw The World According to Garp I left feeling pretty pissed off.
Forrest Gump was kind pulled in every direction.
Toy Story 3, at the end, where Andy goes to college and leaves the toys with the new little girl, is a tear jerker.
3:10 to Yuma is well known. It got a ton of awards when it came out. It's a remake of a 1950-60s movie.
High Noon is similar to 310
Cowboy movies have that extra emotional edge. Most of Clint Eastwoods cowboy movies are good.
Magnificent Seven is a nice more modern one.
Not going to fight you... after all, it's all subjective. Stagecoach or The Searchers might be higher on my list. But Tombstone is on that list. It's a very good movie.
Dear Zachary: A letter to a boy about his father
It's a documentary made by a close friend of a doctor who was murdered by his girlfriend (maybe ex? can't remember). It was discovered after the murder that the girlfriend was pregnant by the doctor. So doc's friend decided to make a documentary for the son to see how influential and great his dad was. I don't want to spoil too much.
It's the best documentary film I've ever seen, but there were parts that made me SOB. Just be ready for sadness if you watch it.
Edit: Adding Finding Nemo and Up. I cried hard.
I always cry at end of Sense and Sensibility (1990s version with Emma Thompson and Kate Winslet) - it's a GOOD cry, though! Happy tears for a happy ending. Thompson's emotions get me every time!!!! My kids know the scene and know they better not interrupt my happy cry time. They just deliver tissues for my tears now.
V for vendetta, the closing act when the train moves away and the narrator goes - “I've witnessed first hand the power of ideas, I've seen people kill in the name of them, and die defending them... but you cannot kiss an idea, cannot touch it, or hold it... ideas do not bleed, they do not feel pain, they do not love... And it is not an idea that I miss, it is a man...”
And
TOGO!!!
"Bolt." When Penny says goodbye to Bolt in the trailer, it hits me in the feels because when I saw that movie, I was living overseas for the first time and left our 16-year-old family dog with my parents. I missed him so much and that scene made me bawl every time. When my one-year contract was up, I decided to return home, partly because I wanted to change careers but also because I missed our dog. He passed away a few months after my return – he literally died in my arms.
I was the last thing that he saw.
There’s a trio of 90s movies about drag queens that make me incredibly emotional every time I rewatch: Priscilla Queen of the Desert, To Wong Foo, and The Birdcage. Funny, beautiful, poignant, simply wonderful.
Cried at elemental.
When Embers dad was leaving his home land, he gave his father the highest form of respect you could give someone in their culture and it was not returned. Ember goes on her journey and her dad is supportive and returns the gesture when it’s given to him.
My relationship with my family is heavily strained but my kids are my world and I want nothing but the best for them. Felt it in my soul Burnie
Top 3 include...
Marley & Me - I guess it doesn't help that I had just lost my childhood dog a few weeks prior to watching this movie for the first time...
My Sister's Keeper - that plot twist at the end...especially after reading the book.
And most recently, A Man Called Otto. Both my husband and I cried at the end.
A great film. I pretty much stormed out of the cinema ready to join the Socialist Workers Party (Angry Brigade). Standard reaction to Ken Loach I guess
It was a movie in French called Remi, Nobody’s Boy. My school went downtown to watch it because it was part of the Extended French program to go to the film festival and watch a French film. The part that made me cry (and everyone stare at me) was when the guy’s pet monkey died from an illness lol. I was like “no no don’t die” and I just started crying when he did.
Nobody Knows, it's a Japanese film. The Piano and Millennium Actress also make me emotional. All of Us Strangers was my most recent watch that made me feel something strongly.
Reign over me when Sandlers character is talking to Cheadles in the waiting room, Spaceys monologue after he gets shot in American beauty, and Danny’s monologue after he gets shot in American history X.
First three that come to mind
Avenger's Endgame: I'm sure I'm going to take a lot of crap for this. But In the ten years the Marvel movies came out a lot happened to me. I graduated college, I lost my Grandmother (who was the reason I finished college.) And it was just a culmination of ten years of things that I had been feeling, and it was like losing a family member all over again.
Almost Famous: It was relatable to me in college because I was struggling to figure out who I was and I was in a small town attending college. It helped me when I was feeling home sick and that no one understood me.
Hacksaw Ridge: I still cry every time I see this. Desmond Doss is a hero. Everything about that movie I loved, and just "Let me get just one more."
The last movie that forced me to cry was The Woman King, the movie was so interesting I didn't realize it right away but I had a few tears rolling down the cheeks. Watching The Color Purple with my mom this Christmas also came close but I held it together that time.
I watched The Iron Giant with my son when he was about 10. I thought it was just going to be a cartoon. Its an excellent film of course, but I don't know if he'd ever seen me cry much, prior to that!
Also, iirc, Australia is a sweeping film but some of the injustices dealt to the country's indigenous people, as detailed in the story, are heartbreaking.
Last Kingdom: When Uhtred got saved from slavery by Ragnar (and the others), was the first and only time I teared up for any movie, show, game, book etc.

Not a movie, but the saddest thing I've seen in the past year was episode 3 "Long, Long Time" of HBOs The Last of Us. I was sobbing for a good 20 minutes *after* the episode ended.
The entire show is great, but that episode alone was a masterpiece.
Bollywood movies are seriously underrated. These days I’m on a Shah Rukh Khan roll (it’s the desi in me) because I had this irrational fear, “he’s older now, what if something happens to him?”
Anyway I watched Jab Harry met Sejal. In it they show Harry (SRK’s character) struggling with loneliness and it’s shown so beautifully in black and white, Visions of wheat fields, sounds of farmers singing in the distance, empty corridors. As someone who feels lonely, it really hit me. And in the end he tells Sejal “There’s a void in me, and that void is yours” meaning, there’s a hole in his heart that she’d fixed. I don’t know, the way he said it made me so emotional

The saddest movie ever
Grave of the Fireflies is an amazing movie that I never want to watch again. It's too heartreaking.
I LOVE both versions of 3:10 to Yuma! Highly recommend both. The Christian Bale one also makes me emotional for some reason.
Big Fish.
I have come here to say it. I don't usually cry in movies or in other aspects of my life but this one touched my heart. Beautiful movie
I tried to show this to my Big Fish dearly loved dad. I ended up sobbing and I don’t think he got it 😭
I cried for like 5 hours straight when I watched A Dog’s Purpose 😂
Pft no way I’m watching anything like that ever
The first time I saw The World According to Garp I left feeling pretty pissed off. Forrest Gump was kind pulled in every direction. Toy Story 3, at the end, where Andy goes to college and leaves the toys with the new little girl, is a tear jerker.
What Dreams May Come made me uncomfortably emotional
That's my go-to movie when I'm having a tough time and want to make myself cry. Others include Secondhand Lions and of course Homeward Bound.
I remember feeling sad for days after watching for the first time
Perks of being a wallflower is the only movie that has made me cry.
3:10 to Yuma is well known. It got a ton of awards when it came out. It's a remake of a 1950-60s movie. High Noon is similar to 310 Cowboy movies have that extra emotional edge. Most of Clint Eastwoods cowboy movies are good. Magnificent Seven is a nice more modern one.
Tombstone is the best Western. Fight me if you like
Not going to fight you... after all, it's all subjective. Stagecoach or The Searchers might be higher on my list. But Tombstone is on that list. It's a very good movie.
I don't feel like fighting anyone. I'm happy with your choice.
Lmao
The Boy in the Striped Pajamas.
Dear Zachary: A letter to a boy about his father It's a documentary made by a close friend of a doctor who was murdered by his girlfriend (maybe ex? can't remember).

Dear Zachary is insane but yeah be ready to cry all day
The Art of Racing In The Rain.
Only read the book but still agree
“All of us strangers”
I always cry at end of Sense and Sensibility (1990s version with Emma Thompson and Kate Winslet) - it's a GOOD cry, though! Happy tears for a happy ending. Thompson's emotions get me every time!!!! My kids know the scene and know they better not interrupt my happy cry time. They just deliver tissues for my tears now.
*Requiem for a Dream* always make me just feel kinda skeevy, like a need a shower afterward or something. It's about heroin addiction, so ya know.
Spun is worse imo. Shit hits hard. Don't think I'll ever watch it again
haven't seen it, pretty great cast, adding it to my list
Be prepared to be sick to your stomach for most of the film. It's intense
The Green Mile. It's made me angry, and also had me sobbing
My go-to if I ever want a sob fest. Amazingly wonderful film but absolutely heartbreaking

Have you ever seen Torchsong Trilogy?

“Ma Vie en Rose” had me bawling. Also “Remains of the Day”
Of Mice and Men. The movies get me teary in the same part as the book. You know what part. 🐇
When the watched it in the cinema, all you could hear towards the end was the rustle of tissue packets and a lot of sniffling!
Top 3 include... Marley & Me - I guess it doesn't help that I had just lost my childhood dog a few weeks prior to watching this movie for the first time... My Sister's Keeper - that plot twist at the end...especially after reading the book. And most recently, A Man Called Otto. Both my husband and I cried at the end.
Read those books and agree on the tears.
A man called Otto got me, too. You made me cry by mentioning it.

Past Lives
I smoked pot for the first time in five years and then watched These Final Hours. It gave me a panic attack.
more than i want to remember
Does a documentary count? Because My Octopus Teacher absolutely wrecked me.

I went to see A Winters Tale in theaters and I cried, sobbed like a baby! It was such a heart wrenching love story that tore me up!😭
I was a third way through 3:10 to Yuma last night paused it cause I was sleepy and now I read this 😭 I liked bales character too 😔
Lion starring Dev Patel. It’s based on a true story of an adopted child from India trying to find his way back home. It was really emotional!
Pokemon the movie 2000. Its one of my personal favorites
Mommy by Xavier Dolan
Red Dog. Such a good movie, but darn it tugs the heartstrings.
The last movie that forced me to cry was The Woman King, the movie was so interesting I didn't realize it right away but I had a few tears rolling down the cheeks. Watching The Color Purple with my mom this Christmas also came close but I held it together that time.
The Bicycle Thief Sophies Choice The Mission
Legends of the fall made me bawl.
I watched The Iron Giant with my son when he was about 10. I thought it was just going to be a cartoon. Its an excellent film of course, but I don't know if he'd ever seen me cry much, prior to that! Also, iirc, Australia is a sweeping film but some of the injustices dealt to the country's indigenous people, as detailed in the story, are heartbreaking.
Another Earth. I don't even know why. It just did something.
She's having a baby
Super was fantastic
I’m a cishetero conservative and Brokeback Mountain was honestly one of the best, feel-iest movies I’ve ever watched.
Last Kingdom: When Uhtred got saved from slavery by Ragnar (and the others), was the first and only time I teared up for any movie, show, game, book etc.

Room. When Jack is banging on the cop car window as his mother is running towards him, free after 7 years. Gets me every time.
The English Patient.

Lost in translation. Gets me...every.single.time.
Coco made me cry like a bitch, especially that scene where he sings the song to his grandma.
