    If you have kids the following might make you bawl for entirely different reasons.

    August Rush
    Interstellar

    Another one I would recommend is About Time.

    Yes for Interstellar- I’ve young kids and the thoughts of missing their life like that gets me every time

    Remake of a Korean movie.

    Thats a tough watch. Just in case anyone is tempted to watch it, don't google anything about it before you do.

    One that I haven't seen mentioned that is a proper tear jerker is Bridge to Terribithia

    One that reminds of that is one called I Kill Giants. One of our kids was having one of those moments where they're having a mini-existential crisis and are afraid of death. We have a big chat and calm them down and make sure they're okay. Then I decide to take their mind off everything by suggesting we all watch a movie together and stick on I Kill Giants. Terrible mistake...

    There are some spectacular tear-jerker Indian movies that I have thoroughly enjoyed. They specialize on that type of stuff. Hollywood truly pales in comparison.

    I can suggest a few if someone is open to watching foreign language films with subtitles.

    Fluke. Hate that movie!

    For me, every time regardless of the fact that I know it's coming and I've seen it a dozen times

    Armageddon scene with Bruce Willis and Liv Tyler

    Toy Story 3 final scene where Andy plays with the toys one last time

    Right

    Dead Poets Society
    Beaches
    Million Dollar Baby
    Randomly, The Greatest Showman

    I'll cry from the start when I watch any of them, already preparing for what's ahead.

    In general but moreso at some moments/scenes, The Elephant Man. Everytime.

    Strangely Grave of the Fireflies left me unmoved. Sorry !

    A Monster Calls.

    Floods of tears.


  • Registered Users Posts: 369 ✭✭arcticmonkeys


    And then there was one...haven't watched the movie in well over 20 years but just reading through the synopsis on IMDB just made me remember why the story was so heartbreaking.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 254 ✭✭barrier86


    The champ.


  • Registered Users Posts: 48 Rolling Stone


    ET. Cried when I first saw it as a kid and still do when it's on over Christmas.
    Interstellar. Because my Dad promised me.
    Field of Dreams. Hey Dad, wanna have a catch.
    Shawshank Redemption.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,688 ✭✭✭Day Lewin


    Shadowlands.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 297 ✭✭W0LFMAN


    Grave of the fireflies. You'll never watch it twice. But recommend it to everyone.


  • Registered Users Posts: 832 ✭✭✭harvester of sorrow


    I'll echo a few that stirred the feels,
    Interstellar
    Up
    Benjamin Button

    But a Monster Calls had me in bits, not like the others above where you get a pain in your throat holding back a tear or two, trying to be a tough guy(so what you wanna fight about it?)
    But tears streaming down... tough movie to watch.
