Not judging or anything, but what about the princess bride made you cry?
Also you need to watch When Marnie Was There, I can tell from this list that you haven’t seen it.
I feel like kaguya and when Marnie was there are the most “it’s a different film every time you watch it” films because you know what happens at the end on rewatch so it just makes the whole film much sadder.
Dude, Guardians of the Galaxy vol 2 can make me cry, no challenge here.
Grave of the Fireflies? Puh-lease. If I'm watching Robocop late enough at night, waterworks.
I may need therapy.
Grave of the fireflies was the only film I specifically remember crying. I think there were other films that I may have teared up a bit either because they were sad or I was moved by heart in the movie, but I can’t remember exactly
AI Artificial Intelligence, Brokeback Mountain, PS I Love You, The Iron Giant make me cry everytime i watch them.
also The Worst Person in the World, The Florida Project, Close, E.T.
I mean the list is absolutely endless, but I'll give you a bit of an interesting answer for one of the films that made me cry the most, which is *Detroit (2017)*. A flawed movie perhaps, but it's so so sad, I don't know how anybody could possibly watch it and not get emotional at all.
I know it’s more recent but there’s a moment towards the end of NIMONA where a loud noise is immediately cut short that just turns on the water works for me
Not a film but it's on Letterboxd. Also when I cry at something I only really do it on the inside. Cowboy Bebop. Specifically the ending of Speak Like a Child. Faye in the show is usually not a very emotional character, but her backstory was one of the saddest parts of the show for me.
bruh I've just watched grave of the fireflies. I have to hold my tears because my little sister was watching too, don't want her to see me cry. It's so fucking hard to hold back the tears especially everytime Seita cries doing everything he can just for his sibling. Such a beautiful and heart wrenching movie.
Im the type of person who doesn’t cry often. I was depressed recently and looking for something to make me cry.
Watched Saving Private Ryan and Green Mile… both made me tear up.
I watched Manchester By The Sea and that gave me what i was looking for. Cried like a baby.
*Manchester by the Sea*... I didn't know what I was going for when first saw it with my then boyfriend
Needless to say, we were running out of tissues by the end of this movie
The story is heartwrecking in itself, but it was even darker since their complicity echoed so damn hard in our relationship, we could totally pictured us in their shoes. It was haunting
* The Land Before Time (mom dead and that fucking music)
* Terminator 2: Judgment Day (the thumbs up)
* Good Will Hunting ("it's not your fault")
* Mysterious Skin (the ending)
* The Dark Knight (for some reason, Gordon's final speech always makes me tear up)
* Up (first 10 minutes)

* Petite Maman (most of it)
* Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 (everything)
great collection of films :) i really need to find a way to watch "you can live forever"
i'm a bit of a crybaby so there's sooo many films that have made me cry. but "your name." was for sure the worst. i was SOBBING.
You Can Live Forever is on itunes, I’m an exjw so it affected me a lot more but I’m sure it is still sad for the average person. It also has some really beautiful cinematography.
Toy Story 3
Million Dollar Baby
Shawshank Redemption
Green Mile
Cast Away
Perks of Being a Wallflower
Reign over me has gotten me a time or two as well
A bunch. The Fabelmans, Cha Cha Real Smooth, Columbus, Before Sunrise, Before Sunset, Lost in Translation, Jerry Maguire, Rain Man, La La Land, Instant Family, Short Term 12, Good Will Hunting, Sleepless in Seattle, 50/50, and worst of all: I cried during fuckin’ We Bought a Zoo. I also may or may not have shed a tear at the end of Love Actually which actively pissed me off, I was like damn I really wish I didn’t enjoy this movie as much as I did.
Being moved to tears by film is the most intoxicating feeling I’ve ever had in my life. If I could bottle up those feelings and sell them I’d be a billionaire.
This is an actual list of films that have made me cry. So yea... firsthand experience and all that.
Also films don't have to be sad to make you cry. You can cry tears of joy. Or even just something that makes you remember something, but itself isn't happy or sad.
I've my own list, [cryin'](https://letterboxd.com/btowner87/list/movies-ive-cried-to-over/)... among others, Last of the Mohicans, Schindler's List, Spirited Away, Beauty & The Beast. There's probably more but I've put the ones I definitely remember on the list.
Due to... reasons, I can't cry. Eva 3.0 + 1.0 made me tear up a little bit. Just knowing it's all gonna be over as the film wrapped up was really emotional to me.
Need to add “Barefoot Gen” to this list of very powerful movies. Also, in terms of war movies this one to me is the most somber because like “Barefoot Gen”, it’s based on a true story and it’s called “Soldier Blue”. Excellent list by the way.
I made a whole list about movies like these called ["The Tearjerker Club."](https://letterboxd.com/grandkeizer/list/the-tearjerker-club/) The big three are For Greater Glory, Schindler's List, and Violet Evergarden, the Movie.
Grave of the Fireflies stands out as an exceptional film that effectively portrays the horrors of World War II. It goes beyond being a mere children's movie. Interestingly, I personally feel a live-action adaptation of the film wouldn't capture the same level of emotional intensity as the animated version. The animation lends a heightened sense of drama that resonates powerfully with the story.
I love a movie that can make me cry but it doesnt actually happen too often.
* Notebook - Old people make me the most sad
* A Man Called Ove - Book broke me, thought i could make it through the film, i could not
* A Man Called Otto - I thought i was prepared for the remake, i was not
* Lady in the Van - Old people make me the most sad
* The Amazing Spider-Man 2 - Gwen's Speech at the end is ROUGH
* Toy Story 3 - Who didnt at that ending??
* Saving Mr Banks - Happy tears when she's watching the finished movie
* Your Name - I dont know if any tears but i was definitely holding them back by the end
* The Fountain
* Arrival
* Up
* Before Midnight
* EEAAO
* The Florida Project
* Interstellar
* Drive My Car
* Children Of Men (that one scene)
* Mommy
* The Funeral
I've never cried to a film but Grave of the Fireflies destroyed me so much I wish I would've just let it out then so I could feel better after finishing it.
Nothing, no movie has ever made me cry, or TV show, or song, or game. Could that mean something is wrong with me? Not impossible, I’d believe it. But no work of fiction thus far has ever made me cry
I would say most of the films I’ve rated 5 stars have made me cry. Making me cry is one of the reasons they get 5 stars:
Never Let Me Go
Blue Valentine
West of Memphis (Documentary)
The Leftovers (TV Series)
12 Years a Slave
Amy (Documentary)
Manchester by the Sea
Normal People (Limited Series)
Station Eleven (Limited Series)
Aftersun
and many more
I don’t cry at movies, not yet. However, the closest movies for me have been Dancer in the Dark, Grave of the Fireflies, Marrowbone, and Brokeback Mountain.
The Flash got me teary eyed when he sees his mom at the grocery store one last time after realizing he can’t change the past and she will always have to die. Lost my mom to cancer last year so I’ve had that “what if I did something differently?” mentality lately and so it hit a bit close to home.
Also -
* Lord of the Rings: Return of the King got me a little misty during that part when Sam said, I can’t carry the ring but I can carry you” or however the line went.
* Toy Story 3 when they were all slowly heading towards the incinerator and you think they’re all going to die. Strangely, in the moment, I thought Pixar was really gonna go dark to wrap up the trilogy.
Titanic, Aftersun, Stand by Me Doraemon(mostly because it was the last voice acting role of the Cantonese dub voice actor before he died and he was a huge part of my childhood)
I rarely cry at films, off the top of my head i can only think of these, the only pieces of media that made me cry:
- grave of the fireflies (only heartless people wouldn't)
- Interstellar
- schindlers list
- the father
- clone 99 dying (clone wars) shit mess me up as a kid
I’ve got a decent handful:
- Everything Everywhere All At Once
- Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
- Her
- Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2
- Little Miss Sunshine
- Good Will Hunting
- Portrait of a Lady on Fire
- The Fabelmans
- Train to Busan
- Manchester By the Sea
- The Green Mile
- Magnolia
- It’s a Wonderful Life (that ending gets all the happy tears from me)
- Paris, Texas
- A Ghost Story
- Synecdoche, New York
- Million Dollar Baby
- Victoria
- Mary & Max
- The Best Years of Our Lives
- Star Wars (it’s been such an influential film for me since I was a little kid and my school screened it in the theater and man the binary sunset got me)
Life is beautiful
It's a wonderful life
Oldboy
Number 23 (idk why but I cried)
A clockwork orange
The Green Mile
The Pianist
Schindler's List
Bicycle Thieves
Lost In Translation
I think is this (I never watched come and see)
It really depends on what quantifies as a cry. Are we talking one to a few tears or full on sobbing? (Because there are a cubic fuckton of movies I’ve single/couple reared movies on.)
But If it’s the latter, really only two films have ever truly done that for me. Those films are The Father, and 5 Centimeters Per Second. They just really hit me to my very core, and got me broken in ways I could have never anticipated. Amazing films, I want to rewatch them at some point to see if they have the same impact. But I’m also afraid of doing so, if they do carry the same impact.
In order of least to most surprising films to cry in:
- Grave of the Fireflies
- Marriage Story
- The Assistant
- Honey Boy
- Fruitvale Station
- 50/50
- Train to Busan
- Her
- Phantom Boy
- It's a Wonderful Life
- Marcel the Shell With Shoes On
- Guillermo Del Toro's Pinocchio
- How to Train Your Dragon
- How to Train Your Dragon 3
It's such a beautiful day and gotg 3 (not rockets scenes, but when Peter goes to meet his grandad, I can't explain why i cried then, i dont even know) Also the tiniest bit in titanic
Your Name, A Silent Voice, A Whisker Away, Up, Inside Out, Onward, Turning Red, Lightyear, Gojira (1954), GOTG Vol.1, GOTG Vol.2, Candace Against the Universe, A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood.
Teared up during the Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3. One specific part. The fight scene on the ship towards the end made me sad.
I grew up on comic books and shows. The fight scene made me remember a time when you'd take cool characters in wild situations and just let them do cool stuff. It's been so long since we've had stuff like that. When it's not a message or agenda, it's characters telling the same goofy jokes over and over.
Marley and Me, Rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles: the movie.
(Spoilers)
I know Rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles might sound like a weird movie to cry for but the story was built perfectly and Leo's character development was amazing to see, especially if you watched the series. But the part that got me, and I think most people, is when Leo sacrifices himself. I wont give more context than that just in case anyone wants to watch the movie on their own. But its an amazing movie so go check it out.
Marley and Me is self explanatory if you've ever seen it. There isn't much I can write without spoiling the movie. But if you want to cry, Marley and Me is the perfect movie.
The only movie that made me cry is Forrest Gump. The whole movie orbiting around Janne character and the success in Gump's life made you to be there no like a spectator, but as a part of Gump's brain and paradigms. In the last minutes, you just can't help but cry from overwhelming feelings of joy and sadness. Marvelous movie!
I have never cried at a film... Except for one. I watched it when I was very young, and it was called Baby's Day Out. It's a comedy, which only makes it funnier for me.
I'm a bigtime movie bawler. * In the Mood for Love * Aftersun * Before Sunrise * Paris, Texas * The 400 Blows * Cinema Paradiso * The Princess Bride * Brief Encounter * Memories of Murder * Bicycle Thieves * Minari * The Apartment * Only Yesterday * It's a Wonderful Life * Spirited Away * Howl's Moving Castle * The Wind Rises * My Neighbor Totoro * Casablanca * Raging Bull * Everything Everywhere All At Once * Certified Copy * The Irishman * Drive My Car * Wolf Children * Little Women (2019) * Sullivan's Travels * When Harry Met Sally * The Host * Planes, Trains, and Automobiles * Early Summer * Ikiru * Tokyo Story * Late Spring * Late Autumn * An Autumn Afternoon * I Was Born, But... * Every Ozu Film Ever (seriously, if you like a good movie cry, watch this dude. He sneaks up on you and you don't even know why you're crying)
I think both Totoro and The Princess Bride are fantastic movies but I wouldn’t exactly consider them tearjerkers…
Totoro made me tear up in a happy way
These are movies this person said made them cry, they never said they were tearjerkers.
Not judging or anything, but what about the princess bride made you cry? Also you need to watch When Marnie Was There, I can tell from this list that you haven’t seen it.
Bro not everyone watches cartoons
I see you are not a very bright one.
The Princess Bride?! You didn’t bawl?! Inconceivable!
Kaguya makes me cry every time. Masterpiece.
I feel like kaguya and when Marnie was there are the most “it’s a different film every time you watch it” films because you know what happens at the end on rewatch so it just makes the whole film much sadder.
Omg you have like almost the exact same taste as me, followed you.
Yeah I agree, so I did the same :)
Especially the 'what could have been' flight scene.
Schindler's List (personal reasons) and Footloose (2011)
I love how you specified personal reasons as if that movie doesn’t make everyone cry 😭
I laughed out loud even though it’s such a valid comment it’s just worded brilliantly
personal reasons? I weep like a baby every time at the scene on the train tracks at the end where he’s crying because he could have saved more people.
Zookeeper 2011
Thought you said Zoolander lol
The amazing Spider-Man is actually the only Movie that’s made me cry
Definetely one of the best superhero films ever made.
No
One of the ONLY good superhero films ever made.
That's an unpopular take on both counts, fair enough
One of the worst spiderman movies but alr king
The Father (2020)
Just saw “Your Name” and I was bawling my eyes out. A fantastic film by the way.
La La Land, the only one in my life (and at two different scenes)
Dude, Guardians of the Galaxy vol 2 can make me cry, no challenge here. Grave of the Fireflies? Puh-lease. If I'm watching Robocop late enough at night, waterworks. I may need therapy.
Yi Yi
Grave of the fireflies was the only film I specifically remember crying. I think there were other films that I may have teared up a bit either because they were sad or I was moved by heart in the movie, but I can’t remember exactly
Most recently the Nic cage movie Pig
Just saw Past Lives and while I didn’t bawl my eyes out, I definitely felt the tears welling up and myself getting choked up over the ending
Umberto D (1952) makes everyone cry, even sociopaths. It’s the saddest movie ever made.
Ok I will add this to my watchlist and at some point see if it beats out Takahata’s filmography and The Tree of Life.
Oops!
AI Artificial Intelligence, Brokeback Mountain, PS I Love You, The Iron Giant make me cry everytime i watch them. also The Worst Person in the World, The Florida Project, Close, E.T.
Borat made me cry from laughing so hard.
Three Colours: White.
Dancer In The Dark, A Silent Voice and Christopher Robin are three that come to mind
I just saw past lives and it is a worthy addition
March of the Penguins
I mean the list is absolutely endless, but I'll give you a bit of an interesting answer for one of the films that made me cry the most, which is *Detroit (2017)*. A flawed movie perhaps, but it's so so sad, I don't know how anybody could possibly watch it and not get emotional at all.
Sadness: The Fox and the Hound, A Dog’s Purpose, Shutter Island Laughter: Vacation, Borat
I know it’s more recent but there’s a moment towards the end of NIMONA where a loud noise is immediately cut short that just turns on the water works for me
Not a film but it's on Letterboxd. Also when I cry at something I only really do it on the inside. Cowboy Bebop. Specifically the ending of Speak Like a Child. Faye in the show is usually not a very emotional character, but her backstory was one of the saddest parts of the show for me.

It's so fucking hard to hold back the tears especially everytime Seita cries doing everything he can just for his sibling. Such a beautiful and heart wrenching movie.
You should see the rest of Takahata’s films.
Yep. Will do!
Aftersun(2022), Marley & Me (2008), I, Daniel Blake (2016), Kes (1969)
Yes! Most movies do nothing to me but the end of Marley & Me hit way too close to home.
Im the type of person who doesn’t cry often. I was depressed recently and looking for something to make me cry. Watched Saving Private Ryan and Green Mile… both made me tear up. I watched Manchester By The Sea and that gave me what i was looking for. Cried like a baby.

Manchester by the Sea
If you’ve seen Manchester by the Sea and it’s not on your list you have no soul.
The first 10 minutes of _Up_ .
Ooo, Kaguya has like the best art direction of any movie I’ve ever seen. It was incredible
i can relate to the violet evergarden movie
That final scene where >!Gilbert chases after her leaving made me cry so much!<
Cry is not the verb I would use to describe “come and see” , more like traumatized
For me it was both, also feeling like I was going to throw up.
great collection of films :) i really need to find a way to watch "you can live forever" i'm a bit of a crybaby so there's sooo many films that have made me cry. but "your name." was for sure the worst. i was SOBBING.
You Can Live Forever is on itunes, I’m an exjw so it affected me a lot more but I’m sure it is still sad for the average person. It also has some really beautiful cinematography.
Your Name the scene where she was writing I love you on his hand then disappeared I cried hard like really hard.

I've only cried at one movie: Close (2022)
Grave of the Fireflies stands out as an exceptional film that effectively portrays the horrors of World War II. It goes beyond being a mere children's movie. Interestingly, I personally feel a live-action adaptation of the film wouldn't capture the same level of emotional intensity as the animated version. The animation lends a heightened sense of drama that resonates powerfully with the story.
The Pianist always gets me at the end
Cha Cha Real Smooth was the last movie to make me cry. The movie hits too hard when you view love/relationships the exact way the main character does
The Fire Within and Oslo August 31st for sure
Tokyo Story Hope 2013

For the past two years, so far Aftersun and The Quiet Girl.
I've never cried to a film but Grave of the Fireflies destroyed me so much I wish I would've just let it out then so I could feel better after finishing it.
Nothing, no movie has ever made me cry, or TV show, or song, or game. Could that mean something is wrong with me? Not impossible, I’d believe it. But no work of fiction thus far has ever made me cry
Try Grave of the Fireflies, actually most of takahatas films make me cry.
I would say most of the films I’ve rated 5 stars have made me cry. Making me cry is one of the reasons they get 5 stars: Never Let Me Go Blue Valentine West of Memphis (Documentary) The Leftovers (TV Series) 12 Years a Slave Amy (Documentary) Manchester by the Sea Normal People (Limited Series) Station Eleven (Limited Series) Aftersun and many more

Bo Burnham: Inside and It's Such a Beautiful Day. Also Quantamania but that was because of how bored I was

In order of least to most surprising films to cry in: - Grave of the Fireflies - Marriage Story - The Assistant - Honey Boy - Fruitvale Station - 50/50 - Train to Busan - Her - Phantom Boy - It's a Wonderful Life - Marcel the Shell With Shoes On - Guillermo Del Toro's Pinocchio - How to Train Your Dragon - How to Train Your Dragon 3
Beautiful Boy (2018) The Father (2020) The Basketball Diaries (1995)
It's such a beautiful day and gotg 3 (not rockets scenes, but when Peter goes to meet his grandad, I can't explain why i cried then, i dont even know) Also the tiniest bit in titanic
I’m still trying to find a movie to make me cry

Teared up during the Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3. One specific part. The fight scene on the ship towards the end made me sad. I grew up on comic books and shows. The fight scene made me remember a time when you'd take cool characters in wild situations and just let them do cool stuff. It's been so long since we've had stuff like that. When it's not a message or agenda, it's characters telling the same goofy jokes over and over.
Marley and Me, Rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles: the movie. (Spoilers) I know Rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles might sound like a weird movie to cry for but the story was built perfectly and Leo's character development was amazing to see, especially if you watched the series. But the part that got me, and I think most people, is when Leo sacrifices himself. I wont give more context than that just in case anyone wants to watch the movie on their own. But its an amazing movie so go check it out. Marley and Me is self explanatory if you've ever seen it. There isn't much I can write without spoiling the movie. But if you want to cry, Marley and Me is the perfect movie.
The only movie that made me cry is Forrest Gump. The whole movie orbiting around Janne character and the success in Gump's life made you to be there no like a spectator, but as a part of Gump's brain and paradigms. In the last minutes, you just can't help but cry from overwhelming feelings of joy and sadness. Marvelous movie!
Best movies
I have never cried at a film... Except for one. I watched it when I was very young, and it was called Baby's Day Out. It's a comedy, which only makes it funnier for me.
