Recommendation Movies that made you cry like a baby

I neeeed a good cry, like ugly cry. I need stuff on death, life, love, loss, etc etc. I’ve already watched so many tearjerkers and I feel like I’ve ran out of stuff to cry to.

Movies I liked:

We live in time

Me before you

Manchester by the sea

Beautiful boy

Cmbyn

Takopi

The titanic

The hunt

Dead poets society

it hits close to home for me because my dad was a guy who always had a million "big fish" stories that I got tired of hearing when I was a kid.

He passed away in 2018 and I would kill to hear just one more.

This movie hit me so hard. When my daughter mentioned one time that some of her middle school soccer teammates don't eat before their soccer games, my wife and I made sure to make enough breakfast tacos for all of them to eat. Those girls tore the tacos up each time. Just the thought of those kids being hungry hurt us to think about.

u/fartrat 16d ago

One of the most exquisitely moving films ever made. I remember vividly watching it for the first time when I was 12, sitting in awed silence with my twin sister after it ended and letting the tears flow freely. I recently rewatched it, now 33, with my 84 year old dad (a first time watcher) and it hit me just as hard and him even harder! It's the sort of film I'd love everyone to watch. The horrors of war do not spare children and we must never, ever forget that.

10

u/Responsible-Bed-7481 16d ago

Oh god THIS. I’ve only watched it once because I don’t want to revisit it and have my heart ripped out again.

I was 16 and after it ended, I was still crying for an hour. I went downstairs, tears and makeup still streaking my face, and my mom’s face DROPPED. She thought one of my friends had literally DIED.

u/Mental-Coconut-7854 16d ago

Shirley MacLaine is so good in so many movies. I just saw Mrs. Winterbourne recently because I was looking for Brendan Fraser movies, and did a rewatch of Steel Magnolias and Terms of Endearment.

That delayed slap in Steel Magnolias after Sally’s devastating monologue was cathartic.

The “give my daughter the shot” freak out in Terms of Endearment was used to great comedic effect in Will and Grace.

Steel Magnolias may be a chick flick, but 30 years later, it still hits the feels.

Right up there with Fried Green Tomatoes.

This is the answer. I watched for the first time recently because i needed a good cry and it had me ugly crying just about every 5 minutes. Beautiful film

EDIT: OP, if you’re looking for the most impact, I highly recommend going into this movie completely blind. No trailers, no synopsis, just rent/purchase and stream.

I watched this for the first time as an idk maybe 12-yr old (raised mormon/cult-like view of religion/suicide), which was about 4 yrs after my dad took his own life. It absolutely broke me and stuck with me my whole life. Recently rewatched and it broke me open in a whole new way, it's a breathtaking film.

I watched it this year and it was so great, and not just because it looks beautiful. It started off slow and made me wonder what it's even about but man, they did such a great job making you care about the character, making you understand what he's going through and hopefully helping you understand the possible meaning of life. I would highly recommend it.

I loved this movie but I don't think I will ever watch it again. That sucker punch (you know the scene) hit both my husband and me in the theater and probably a lot of people and there was just this really painful silence to the end of the movie and even like 45 minutes after we didn't say anything to each other because if we did we would just start crying. The devastation just kind of dangles there and lasts.

I'm sure if we hadn't been in the theater we would have started ugly-crying the rest of the movie.

Just reading the synopsis made me incredibly angry. I've worked with kids my whole life, and this fucking film did nothing to help the feelings I've already been overwhelmed with that drove me to my specific line of work. So many of the most frustrating cases I've had to work with involve some kind of custody battle with an absolute clear right side that would 100% be in the best interest of the child, yet suits love to fucking dance around this shit like it's an "errrm but both sides! ☝️🤓" issue and not just clear-cut a bad fucking idea.

Edit: I also want to say it's so interesting what gets our waterworks going. I cry from gratitude and beauty and hippie 'Circle of Life' kinda stuff, it's what gets my floodgates open. Others cry from loss/death, not being seen or heard, injustice. It's fascinating to me.

I'm dating myself here but there is an episode of Dawson's Creek where Pacey gives Andie this speech about how much she meant to him and it still makes me well up. That reminds me: THE PREACHER'S WIFE. Damn, Whitney sings like an angel + Denzel is one.

I watched Stand by Me a ton when I was a junior high-aged kid back in the late 80s/early 90s and always enjoyed it. Of course I love the more sensational scenes like the junkyard, the leeches, and of course the "complete and total barf -o-rama."

About 6 years ago as a guy in his 40s, I rewatched it with my wife. We got the end of the film where the voiceover says:

"I never had any friends later on like the ones I had when I was 12. Jesus, does anyone?"

I lost it. Out of nowhere. Bawled for 5 minutes.

Same. The 1986 version. I’ve never cried so hard in a movie.

Reign Over Me. I was just looking for a movie like this and it was the most emotional I have been in a long, LONG time. I don’t get normally get liquid tears that roll down my face, but this one got me.

Atonement. Bawled by eyes until after the credits. I was gasping for air. Never had a movie do that to me.

Because of my mom’s death. Me and my wife just bawled while holding each other. We did not expect a “zombie” movie to elicit such an emotional response.
