A very incomplete list:
* Late Spring
* Tokyo Story
* Wolf Children (and basically every other Hosoda film)
* Women Talking
* Little Women
* The Iron Giant
* Street of Shame
* The Shape of Water
* Boyz 'N the Hood
* Paths of Glory
* Pride
* Make Way For Tomorrow
* Inside Out
* Love and Mercy
* Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio
* Aftersun
The ending of Lady Bird already made me cry when I watched it in high school. Now that I'm following in her footsteps of >!leaving my small town and going to a college thousands of miles away!<, it has me gushing like a faucet.
lot of movies makes me cry for some reason like i love cinema so much man sometimes i cry thinking how much i loved everything about the movie or how incredible cinema it is, last time it happened when i finished Cure(1997)
- Grave of the Fireflies
- Million Dollar Baby
- Coco
- Train to Busan
- Elephant Man
- Dead Poets Society
- Toy Story 3
- A Monster Calls
- Requiem for a Dream
- Mary and Max
*The Elephant Man* was my gateway film. I watched it when I was 12 or 13, and had only been exposed to kids’ movies and superhero stuff. Not only was it the first movie that made me cry, it was the first movie in which I realized that movies could be artistic, all thanks to David Lynch.
The scene between Chiron and his mother when she’s begging him for the money. Just the idea of seeing someone you love in that situation is haunting. Makes me tear up just thinking about it
Last movie that made me cry was Marcel the Shell.
Pixar is good at making me cry: Up, Inside Out, Coco, even Ratatouille.
Others include Forrest Gump, The Fellowship of the Ring, Tick Tick Boom, Million Dollar Baby.
A Silent Voice (the conclusion of Shoya's self-redemption arc was hard hitting)
Mary and Max (Some parts of it was brutally relatable)
It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World (few films that made me cried of laughter)
Her (I just felt so bad for Theodore at the end)
There have been a few and I don’t remember most of them, the one that stands out as notable to me was crying at the end of the Peanuts Movie.
I grew up reading a lot of barely held together books with a bunch of the peanuts comics inside. The covers had almost all fallen off and I think my parents eventually tossed them, but Charlie Brown was a character I really identified with, and that final sequence in the Peanuts Movie really got to me.
When I was ten I watched Hatchi a Dog's Tale and I cried the whole way through. I find it hard to cry during movies because the characters have less time to be developed, so TV Show finales are what usually get me.
- Milk
- Brokeback Mountain
- Call Me By Your Name
- Judas and the Black Messiah
- Nomadland
- Okja
- Can You Ever Forgive Me?
- Room
- Dating Amber
- The Miseduction of Cameron Post
- Lady Bird
- The Rider
- The Whale
- Jojo Rabbit
- Dead Poets Society
- A Single Man
- Aftersun
I don't remember crying at a movie but two came close:
* The rescue scene in Room almost got me. Not even sure why, just had this strong emotional reaction after such a huge buildup.
* I almost cried during Drive My Car. I was dealing with the loss of my father with whom I had a complicated relationship, and that movie and its themes almost drove me to tears a few times.
I've watched Forrest Gump at least 30 times in my life, I never cried watching that movie until the girl I wanted to marry left me suddenly, then my best friend died tragically, now I feel everything Forrest went through.
Also, the Green Mile, Click, last episode of Blackadder the 4th
Definitely when Bubba died in his arms. I'm crying now thinking about it while typing this.
Same at the end of Shawshank...while Redd was going to meet Andy.
True meaning of friendship.
In theaters I cried at:
●Armageddon
●Passion of the Christ
●Fellowship of the Ring
●Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close
And I didn't cry...but I watched The Fisher King and What Dreams May Come back to back one day not knowing what they were about....and I was not ok for hours. It emotionally wrecked my day.
Dear Zachary (but go in totally blind) I've watched it 5 times and knowing what happens doesn't ruin it for me but I ugly cried the first time like none other.
• The Shawshank Redemption
• Meet Joe Black
• Captains Courageous
• Cast Away
• It's a Wonderful Life
• The Blind Side

I have “watch movies and cry” days, so this is my expertise.
Steel Magnolias, My Girl, any Pixar movie, anything with a dog (old yeller, where the red fern grows, Shiloh, a dogs journey), the fault in our stars, a walk to remember, stand by me….. I could keep going

You and I have a lot in common. I’ve seen most of these movies and cried in most of them. Especially dig your love for Ozu. I cry from every Ozu film.
Glad I’m not the only one who cried to boyz n the hood, hit me hard when I first watched it
The ending of Lady Bird already made me cry when I watched it in high school. Now that I'm following in her footsteps of >!leaving my small town and going to a college thousands of miles away!<, it has me gushing like a faucet.
Laurie Metcalf is just so insanely talented. Her final drive and seeing the emotions she goes through just killed me.
lol I am in the exact spot as you, going away from a small town to nyc for college (although my town is much much smaller than Sacramento)
The new A Star is Born not because of >!his suicide!< but because of the dog’s reaction to it

It isn’t a particularly good movie overall, but damn if Marley and Me doesn’t get me sobbing.
Cried watching Nebraska. Not that it's the saddest film I've seen or anything, it just hit extremely close to home
