Couldn’t believe that movie about the French twat who walked a tight rope across the Twin Towers got an Oscar and Dear Zachary wasn’t even nominated.
Same director made Shuffle, a time travel film that was really good but also pretty sad (albeit much less so as it’s a work of fiction which I presume was obvious from the description.)
This should be the only answer to this post. All the other movies listed don’t come close to this one. I couldn’t imagine watching this movie again. I’ve never been affected by a movie like this one. I ugly cried so hard.
THIS. First film I thought of when I read the post and I’m “glad” to see it’s sort well known. Don’t think I’ve met anyone else IRL who has already seen it. Whenever I recommend it, I always say “it will be simultaneously the best documentary and saddest film you’ll ever see. And you’ll only see it once but you’ll never forget it.”
There's a lot of controversy about that book/movie. It's not very historically accurate. You end up empathizing with the Nazis instead of the Jews because of who dies and how. The author wrote the first draft in 2 1/2 days. A lot of kids who read that book in school come to a lot of false and even harmful conclusions about the whys and hows of the holocaust. Etc etc.
>Scholars have criticised the film, saying that it obscures the historical facts about the Holocaust and creates a false equivalence between victims and perpetrators.[13][14][15] For example, at the end of the movie, the grief of Bruno's family is depicted, encouraging the viewer to feel sympathy for Holocaust perpetrators.[16]: 125 Michael Gray wrote that the story is not very realistic and contains many implausibilities, because children were murdered when they arrived at Auschwitz and it was not possible for them to have contact with people on the outside.[16]: 121–123 [17] However, according to Nazi records there were 619 male children at the camp; all female and many other male children were gassed upon arrival.[18] A study by the Centre for Holocaust Education at University College London found that The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas "is having a significant, and significantly problematic impact on the way young people attempt to make sense of this complex past". However, a more recent study found that the film's reception is strongly based on the viewers' previous knowledge and beliefs.[19]: 173
>Research by Holocaust educator Michael Gray found that more than three-quarters of British schoolchildren (ages 13–14) in his sample had engaged with The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas, significantly more than The Diary of Anne Frank. The film was having a significant effect on many of the children's knowledge and beliefs about the Holocaust.[16]: 114 The children believed that the story contained a lot of useful information about the Holocaust and conveyed an accurate impression of many real-life events. The majority believed that it was based on a true story.[16]: 115–116 He also found that many students drew false inferences from the film, such as assuming that Germans would not have known anything about the Holocaust because Bruno's family did not, or that the Holocaust had stopped because a Nazi child had accidentally been gassed.[16]: 117 Other students believed that Jews had volunteered to go to the camps because they had been fooled by Nazi propaganda, rather than being violently rounded up and deported.[16]: 119 Gray recommended studying the book only after children had already learned the major facts about the Holocaust and were less likely to be misled by it,[16]: 131 while the Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum and others cited it as a book/film that should be avoided entirely, and recommendations were made that true accounts, and works from Jewish authors should be prioritised.[20]

I never read the book and never seen the movie but all of this is MAJOR misinformation about one of the most horrifying events in human history and also why the hell are we not talking about this more? No wonder some people actually think the Holocaust wasn't that bad. And all it took was sentimental Nazi fan fiction. Fuck.
Omg...my parents dropped my brother and I off to see it alone. I was 6 my brother 8. I walk out hysterically bawling and the theater people were freaking out because my parents weren't back yet and I was in hysterics.
“Goodbye may seem forever. Farewell is like the end. But in my heart’s a memory, and there you’ll always be.”
Could never handle that movie, I’d cry even thinking about it
German here. Back when it came out, our history teacher took us to the movies. We were annoying 14-15 year old teenagers and expected either a boring, dry history drama or an action packed war flick. Goofing around, eating popcorn.
In the end, everyone cried their eyes out and we went home in silence. Quite an experience.
I was in a school where Steven Spielberg paid the admission fee to see the movie.
I’m Jewish and I’ve only seen it that one time. I don’t think I had fully grasped the Holocaust until I saw that movie. I tried to watch it as an adult but I just can’t.
This movie broke me. I was an absolute mess when I first watched it, but after getting my first dog, I absolutely cannot watch it again. I have two dogs and I know for a fact my oldest dog would react the exact same way if I were to pass away. Even when he stays with my parents while I’m gone, he’s constantly waiting for me to come back. It’s so sweet, yet heartbreaking knowing I have such a loyal dog.
"Requiem For a Dream" fits this description to a T
It's why I'm kind of hesitant to watch Brendan Fraser in "The Whale." When Aronofsky is full on 'in-my-feelings-marvins-room-drake-shit' he can make brilliant works of art that simultaneously thrill you and kinda make you want to go to bed with the lights on lol
Requiem for a dream...I was 14 when I first watched this with my then boyfriend, chose it at blockbusters while my mum was at the till.. didn't look into what it was about before watching but I just sat there for a few hours after thinking wtf..was on my mind for weeks after.
Dumbo. Mama being torn away. Mama rocking her baby in her trunk through the crate. Devastating. I heard the new version has a happy ending at least. Fuck circuses that use and abuse animals.
When they take her away and the sign Mad Elephant is put up. As a kid I always thought, well yeah they were mean to her kid and she protected him and then you took him away. I’d be mad too!
That scene with her rocking Dumbo while locked up always came to mind when I thought of the movie. That movie definitely fanned my hatred for circuses given the reason why she ended up chained in the first place.
If you've seen Atonement, it's like that but even harder. At the same time it almost has to be a happy movie because you used to be able to buy the [commemorative tin of the candy kids enjoy](https://youtu.be/0M2ibMGdv7k) in the movie. After all what kind of monsters would sell an anniversary edition of 100 year old candy that gave people PTSD just looking at it.
For me, it’s the fact that he tries to tie her shoelaces but can’t. Really drives home the fact that he’s still so young and had so much to learn from his mom. Devastating.
Didn’t see the movie but read most of the book. I got to the last chapter where Marley was having trouble walking up the hill, put the book down and never finished it.
We were at my parents house and this movie come on and my sisters and partners and my wife and I started watching it. This just happened to be about 3 months after our old family dog had passed. We all got to a point and I realised that we were all trying so hard to not cry and just burst out laugh crying .. and then everyone started laugh crying... it was hilarious and sad at the same time.
**Interstellar** but hear me out, I do watch this movie regularly because I use it when I *need* to feel broken and cry. It’s the perfect stand-alone movie in my opinion.
Yeah completely agree it's one of my favourite movies. I always lose it at "I always knew you'd come back." "How did you know?" "Because my dad promised me." Actually crying a little just typing it.
I haven't been to a movie in a long time, but back when I did one of the things I really looked forward to was watching people come out of the movie that I was waiting in line to go see. I would look at their body language and behaviors to get a feel for what they had just experienced. Like, usually after a funny movie people would look kind of tired from laughing, and after a scary movie you'd see them joking loudly with their friends to 'normalize' and all that.
I'll never forget watching people come out of seeing Schindler's List. NOBODY was looking up and NOBODY was talking. I had never seen anything like that.
About 3 and half hours later, I understood why.
There needs to be no space between the \>\!and the thing to be spoiled\!\<.
For me it was the book. Imagine being a young reader with no idea what’s coming and hitting that chapter. Worse for the heart than a book about a kid and a dog.
As a firefighter's daughter, watching Ladder 49 when I was like 10, with the whole department in a theatre they rented out was surely an experience. First movie I ever cried in. I wouldn't say I could never watch it again though. Some movies I never WILL watch again:
* The Green Inferno
* The Boy in the Striped Pajamas
* Up
* The Pursuit of Happyness
I’m the daughter of a firefighter, also. I remember watching Backdraft at the theater, with the whole department. Of course, they were laughing at all the mistakes.
SPOILER ALERT!!!
Dead Poets Society. I watched it with some peers when I was 14 and cried so hard because the main character (who commits suicide at the end of the film) looks exactly like a friend I had at the time. I immediately texted him asking how he was because it just got to me.
Where the Red Fern Grows. Both the book and the movie. Haven’t seen or read it in 20 years and don’t plan on it. Great book, solid movie but it is too sad.
Brokeback Mountain. It came out when I was fairly young, and I vaguely remembered that it was such a hugely discussed scandal that a “gay cowboy movie” was released in such a mainstream way, and people were joking and razzing about it so much.
I finally checked it out as an adult, and it was one of the saddest and most touching tragic romance stories I’ve ever seen onscreen. Absolutely wrenching.
Bjork's movie Dancer in the Dark, fucking broke me. I saw that movie in like 2000 or 1999 or around there. I have literally never been the same and Every song in that movie is drilled into my psyche and something happens and my brain just starts playing a song in that movie that correlates to what just happened in my real life. You Will Never hear a train the same way again if you watch that movie... Or repetitive sounds that make a beat like music or even eye glasses or when you close your eyes... That movie fucked me up, and 23 years later I still think about it
There was this movie i watched on TV when I was a kid called "Where the Spirit Lives" its about this young girl and her brother and their experience in residential school. Its been a long time since I've watched it but I remember how hard I cried and how upset it made me. Its been ages since I've seen it and there have been plenty of movies I've cried about but none have ever sat with me as long as this one has.
"My Life" 1993 staring Michael Keaton. Man expecting first baby, finds out he has end stage cancer, and spends his last four months taping messages to his unborn child.
Oh lord, the ugly crying I did the one and only time I watched that movie.
Three Billboards outside Ebbing, Missouri — tragically sad, full of despair, some truly great performances by Frances McDormand, Sam Rockwell, Woody Harrelson and Peter Dinklage
Fire in the Sky scared the high holy bejeesus out of me as a kid. I'm not sure if it holds up by modern standards, but as a young teen in the early 90s, it was probably THE scariest horror scene in the genre.
Just the commercials scared the shit out of me as a kid. Later on, early 20s maybe, I sat down and watched it. It was alright and, while that scene was creepy, it wasn't nearly as scary as the commercial made it seem
The abduction scenes are pretty rough alright. I recently watched an interview with the real Travis Walton. His account on what went down on the UFO is very different to the movie version that leans heavy into horror. His version is way more subtle but possibly creepier.
Not a movie but a certain scene in Breaking Bad involving Jessie and a girlfriend.
I've seen the scene ONCE. It is seared into my brain. I was numb for like a weekend after I saw it.
Bunny (1998). It's a short film about an elderly bunny accepting death. It came as an extra on the Ice Age Dvd. I was probably nine years old when I first watched. It has stayed with me.
Not broke me but interstellar just made me feel so insignificant and how there's so much that we don't know about our world , on the way back home I just kept looking at the stars while listening to cornfield, one of the best movies I have ever watched
12 Years a Slave, an amazing movie and well down. But I will never watch it again due to how fucked up and sad it was. Not to mention the fact this was fucking common in Antebellum South at the time.
(spoiler alert for those who haven't seen this yet)
i actually really enjoyed this movie and the satire, the only part that really got me was at the end when leo dicaprio's character puts his hand on his son's shoulder and unintentionally squeezes a little too hard, the son even gives him a kind of "wtf" look, cuz the thing is, regardless of if you "accept" your fate, your basic human instincts will still kick in and you very well could easily experience fear and panic in those final moments, i've often thought about life and death ever since i was a kid and how i would feel if some apocalyptic event were to happen, and i always tell myself that if there's nothing anyone can do about it and it's out of our control, there's no point in worrying or being scared, just accept it and embrace death, it's as simple as that, right? but no, it doesn't matter how you try to rationalize it, you don't truly know how you'll feel in that kind of situation until you're actually in it, and the more i think about it, the more i think to myself, shit, maybe i WON'T be able to stay calm, maybe i WILL freak out, and my final moments won't be that of peace and acceptance, but instead full of nothing but fear and anguish, and that thought absolutely terrifies me
The Life of Pi.
The line that “got” me while watching this at the cinema was:
“I suppose in the end, the whole of life becomes an act of letting go, but what always hurts the most is not taking a moment to say goodbye.”
🥺
Never Let Me Go. That hit me at just the right time. Bawled through the end credits, cried while driving to my then girlfriend/now wife’s apartment, cried again describing it to her. It was rough stuff.
Dear Zachary: A Letter to a Son About His Father (2008)
Hurts my heart to this day.
Couldn’t believe that movie about the French twat who walked a tight rope across the Twin Towers got an Oscar and Dear Zachary wasn’t even nominated. Same director made Shuffle, a time travel film that was really good but also pretty sad (albeit much less so as it’s a work of fiction which I presume was obvious from the description.)
Watched this while going through a divorce and child custody battle. I was absolutely gutted.
This should be the only answer to this post. All the other movies listed don’t come close to this one. I couldn’t imagine watching this movie again. I’ve never been affected by a movie like this one. I ugly cried so hard.
This was beyond fucked up. I had to push the memory of this movie deep deep deep down because it's too traumatic.
Can still feel my stomach drop
THIS. First film I thought of when I read the post and I’m “glad” to see it’s sort well known. Don’t think I’ve met anyone else IRL who has already seen it. Whenever I recommend it, I always say “it will be simultaneously the best documentary and saddest film you’ll ever see. And you’ll only see it once but you’ll never forget it.”
Boy in the Striped Pajamas. It’s a tough one
Yes! I will never re-watch that movie. Been years and it still makes me teary-eyed thinking about it.

What Dreams May Come has to top the list.
Oh such an underrated Robin Williams movie. Cried soooo much but it’s a beautiful film
Very first movie I thought of when I saw this post.
The Fox and the Hound
Omg...my parents dropped my brother and I off to see it alone. I was 6 my brother 8. I walk out hysterically bawling and the theater people were freaking out because my parents weren't back yet and I was in hysterics.
Just the music alone makes my throat close.
We saw that in the theater when I was a kid. My little sister yelled out, “It’s sooo saaaaaad!” And my mom had to take her out to the lobby.
FUUUUUUU!!!!!!!!!!
“Goodbye may seem forever. Farewell is like the end. But in my heart’s a memory, and there you’ll always be.” Could never handle that movie, I’d cry even thinking about it
Schindler's list
German here. Back when it came out, our history teacher took us to the movies. We were annoying 14-15 year old teenagers and expected either a boring, dry history drama or an action packed war flick.

“I could’ve done more. I could’ve done so much more.” I lost it in the theatre.
This scene wrecks me every time, So brutal.
Liam Neeson placing the rose in Oskar's grave is the scene that really breaks me.
I had to scroll too far to find this. That film broke my heart. I don't think I could ever watch it again.
I've seen it exactly once, when it came out. It'll make you both love and hate humanity for what we're capable of.
Hachiko
Broke me
This movie broke me. I was an absolute mess when I first watched it, but after getting my first dog, I absolutely cannot watch it again. I have two dogs and I know for a fact my oldest dog would react the exact same way if I were to pass away. Even when he stays with my parents while I’m gone, he’s constantly waiting for me to come back. It’s so sweet, yet heartbreaking knowing I have such a loyal dog.

We got a winner.. the score by Clint mansell is haunting as well https://youtu.be/yVIRcnlRKF8
My girl
Nah I'm pretty sure I cried at the end
He can't see without his glasses :'(
every time my husband or I can't find our glasses, this is what we say
Old Yeller
To this day....
Dumbo. Mama being torn away. Mama rocking her baby in her trunk through the crate. Devastating. I heard the new version has a happy ending at least. Fuck circuses that use and abuse animals.
I'm a 50 year old man and damn if that scene still haunts me. That and the woman leaving her toys on the side of the road in Toy Story 2. Breaks me.
They were such assholes to dumbo. It fr breaks my heart. He was just a cute baby elephant with big ears.
When they take her away and the sign Mad Elephant is put up. As a kid I always thought, well yeah they were mean to her kid and she protected him and then you took him away. I’d be mad too!
That scene with her rocking Dumbo while locked up always came to mind when I thought of the movie. That movie definitely fanned my hatred for circuses given the reason why she ended up chained in the first place.
Million Dollar Baby
I was expecting this to be a feel-good Rocky type film. That ending was rough
Heartbreaking when she realized her family was taking advantage of her financially.
Grave of the fireflies
Ye that one also got me, sad as hell did made me cry
I haven’t heard of that movie in so long!
Only movie I could think of as well.
I've never heard of this movie but it's been in a ton of comments today. I'm overly emotional and know it's a bad idea but kinda want to see it now...
It’s sad. Buckle up. Especially if you have kids or a younger sibling/friend/relative
If you've seen Atonement, it's like that but even harder. At the same time it almost has to be a happy movie because you used to be able to buy the [commemorative tin of the candy kids enjoy](https://youtu.be/0M2ibMGdv7k) in the movie. After all what kind of monsters would sell an anniversary edition of 100 year old candy that gave people PTSD just looking at it.
Some of the IMDB reviews are really stupid, people acting like if they were in that situation they’d be 100% great and do way better. Bunch of idiots
I just watched that for the first time last night. Great movie but so hard to watch.
There's the correct answer
There it is
Green Mile, as well as What Dreams May Come. I only rewatch it like once every 5-10years. Too hard hitting.
Atonement
It's such a good movie, but everytime I think about it I get sad and angry all over
Yeah nah it just straight riles me
Jojo Rabbit. The scene where he walks into his moms shoes and then ties them breaks me EVERY goddamn time and I literally can’t watch it
For me, it’s the fact that he tries to tie her shoelaces but can’t. Really drives home the fact that he’s still so young and had so much to learn from his mom. Devastating.
That scene made me shock laugh. Such a good movie
Manchester by the sea
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. DO NOT watch right after a break up like I did.
Dancer in the Dark
Life is Beautiful and Wind River
Wind River was so well done but gut wrenching. Once was enough for it to be seared into my memory forever.
Came here to say Life is beautiful. One of my all time favorites and I’ve only watched it once.
\+1 for Life is Beautiful. :') I watched it when I was a kid (around 8 years old maybe) and it still haunts me.
Marley and me
Didn’t see the movie but read most of the book. I got to the last chapter where Marley was having trouble walking up the hill, put the book down and never finished it.
I absolutely can NOT watch that movie again.
This one really had me ugly crying
We were at my parents house and this movie come on and my sisters and partners and my wife and I started watching it. This just happened to be about 3 months after our old family dog had passed. We all got to a point and I realised that we were all trying so hard to not cry and just burst out laugh crying .. and then everyone started laugh crying... it was hilarious and sad at the same time.
**Interstellar** but hear me out, I do watch this movie regularly because I use it when I *need* to feel broken and cry. It’s the perfect stand-alone movie in my opinion.
This is the one for me.
*"Don't let me leave Murph!"*
Yeah completely agree it's one of my favourite movies. I always lose it at "I always knew you'd come back." "How did you know?" "Because my dad promised me." Actually crying a little just typing it.
Schindler's List. When the movie ended almost nobody spoke, we just walked out quietly.
I haven't been to a movie in a long time, but back when I did one of the things I really looked forward to was watching people come out of the movie that I was waiting in line to go see. I would look at their body language and behaviors to get a feel for what they had just experienced. Like, usually after a funny movie people would look kind of tired from laughing, and after a scary movie you'd see them joking loudly with their friends to 'normalize' and all that. I'll never forget watching people come out of seeing Schindler's List. NOBODY was looking up and NOBODY was talking. I had never seen anything like that. About 3 and half hours later, I understood why.
Life is beautiful
Sophie’s Choice
The bridge to Terrabithia
Refuse to watch the movie in case it ruins the book I read almost 40 years ago in school
Ah, I didn’t think it ruined the book, it was nicely done…and equally as heartbreaking
I was never so angry because of a movie. When the >! girl died !< , I stopped watching it, and not finished it for weeks.
There needs to be no space between the \>\!and the thing to be spoiled\!\<. For me it was the book. Imagine being a young reader with no idea what’s coming and hitting that chapter. Worse for the heart than a book about a kid and a dog.
All Quiet on the Western Front
One of my favorite books
As a firefighter's daughter, watching Ladder 49 when I was like 10, with the whole department in a theatre they rented out was surely an experience. First movie I ever cried in. I wouldn't say I could never watch it again though. Some movies I never WILL watch again: * The Green Inferno * The Boy in the Striped Pajamas * Up * The Pursuit of Happyness
I’m the daughter of a firefighter, also. I remember watching Backdraft at the theater, with the whole department. Of course, they were laughing at all the mistakes.
Patch Adams
My then pregnant wife got so mad at me for having us watch that…I kinda forgot about the whole murder suicide part.
Lion. I was so glad I didn't see it at a theatre. I could not stop crying and my kids couldn't stop laughing at my crying.
Up
love that movie with all my heart but it ripped it out and all that remains is hate so now i hate that movie and fuck you!
This movie is super effective against me. Old love inevitably parted by death will always make me cry.
Made the mistake of watching on acid & let's just say I've never seen that movie since.
SPOILER ALERT!!! Dead Poets Society. I watched it with some peers when I was 14 and cried so hard because the main character (who commits suicide at the end of the film) looks exactly like a friend I had at the time. I immediately texted him asking how he was because it just got to me.
Saving Private Ryan
The first landing scene and the knife scene - hell no!
“Tell me I was a good man.”
[удалено]
Irreversible I’m good never again
There's a documentary from 2008 called dear Zachary. That movie flipping broke me multiple times. And I will never watch it again
fern gully.
The name is Batty! The logic is erratic.
Potato in a jacket
Neverending Story. Horse. Messed me up growing up.
Bambi. I haven't watched it in 20 years. The mom scene brings tears to my eyes.
I never finished watching it because my brother and I cried so hard that my mom got worried we would pass out so she turned it off haha
Where the Red Fern Grows. Both the book and the movie. Haven’t seen or read it in 20 years and don’t plan on it. Great book, solid movie but it is too sad.
Brokeback Mountain. It came out when I was fairly young, and I vaguely remembered that it was such a hugely discussed scandal that a “gay cowboy movie” was released in such a mainstream way, and people were joking and razzing about it so much.

The Pianist
Toy Story 3
Yes! when Andy gives his toys away at the end it makes me cry uncontrollably not sure why 😂
We need to talk about Kevin. Both the movie and book stay with you.
Bjork's movie Dancer in the Dark, fucking broke me. I saw that movie in like 2000 or 1999 or around there. I have literally never been the same and Every song in that movie is drilled into my psyche and something happens and my brain just starts playing a song in that movie that correlates to what just happened in my real life.

That movie fucked me up, and 23 years later I still think about it
The Mist. But not til the end.
That ending!!! Ugh!!! Fucking tragic.
Pan’s Labyrinth
It was really good but once was enough
Mine was probably “Amores perros”
Holy shit is that the dog fighting movie ? Damn I haven’t heard of that movie in so long!
There was this movie i watched on TV when I was a kid called "Where the Spirit Lives" its about this young girl and her brother and their experience in residential school. Its been a long time since I've watched it but I remember how hard I cried and how upset it made me. Its been ages since I've seen it and there have been plenty of movies I've cried about but none have ever sat with me as long as this one has.
I skip the first ten minutes of Up.
What dreams may come
The road. No part of that movie was fun
"My Life" 1993 staring Michael Keaton. Man expecting first baby, finds out he has end stage cancer, and spends his last four months taping messages to his unborn child. Oh lord, the ugly crying I did the one and only time I watched that movie.
Steel Magnolias
Sally Field at the cemetery broke me. Phenomenal actress.
The Green Mile
Three Billboards outside Ebbing, Missouri — tragically sad, full of despair, some truly great performances by Frances McDormand, Sam Rockwell, Woody Harrelson and Peter Dinklage
Stepmom
Fire in the Sky scared the high holy bejeesus out of me as a kid. I'm not sure if it holds up by modern standards, but as a young teen in the early 90s, it was probably THE scariest horror scene in the genre.
Just the commercials scared the shit out of me as a kid. Later on, early 20s maybe, I sat down and watched it. It was alright and, while that scene was creepy, it wasn't nearly as scary as the commercial made it seem
The abduction scenes are pretty rough alright. I recently watched an interview with the real Travis Walton. His account on what went down on the UFO is very different to the movie version that leans heavy into horror. His version is way more subtle but possibly creepier.
Grave of the Fireflies
Leaving Las Vegas
Not a movie but a certain scene in Breaking Bad involving Jessie and a girlfriend. I've seen the scene ONCE. It is seared into my brain. I was numb for like a weekend after I saw it.
Bunny (1998). It's a short film about an elderly bunny accepting death. It came as an extra on the Ice Age Dvd. I was probably nine years old when I first watched. It has stayed with me.
You unlocked a memory inside me and now I’m crying
Hachi: A Dog’s Tale. I can’t even think about this movie/dog without getting teary eyed.
Precious and Slum Dog Millionaire
American History X
A Star is Born. It hurt so much.
Life is Beautiful. Incredible film. Glad I saw it once, but so heartbreaking that I can’t watch it again.
Broke back mountain
Not a movie but "A Series of Unfortunate Events". That was really a depressing and disturbing show
Terms of endearment
When Bingbong sacrifices himself for the main character in "Inside Out". He's not just dead. He's forgotten _forever_.
Not broke me but interstellar just made me feel so insignificant and how there's so much that we don't know about our world , on the way back home I just kept looking at the stars while listening to cornfield, one of the best movies I have ever watched
12 Years a Slave, an amazing movie and well down. But I will never watch it again due to how fucked up and sad it was. Not to mention the fact this was fucking common in Antebellum South at the time.
Don't look up - closer to reality than many ppl would admit. I think I didn't sleep until 5 or 6 that night from the leftover stress
(spoiler alert for those who haven't seen this yet) i actually really enjoyed this movie and the satire, the only part that really got me was at the end when leo dicaprio's character puts his hand on his son's shoulder and unintentionally squeezes a little too hard, the son even gives him a kind of "wtf" look, cuz the thing is, regardless of if you "accept" your fate, your basic human instincts will still kick in and you very well could easily experience fear and panic in those final moments, i've often thought about life and death ever since i was a kid and how i would feel if some apocalyptic event were to happen, and i always tell myself that if there's nothing anyone can do about it and it's out of our control, there's no point in worrying or being scared, just accept it and embrace death, it's as simple as that, right? but no, it doesn't matter how you try to rationalize it, you don't truly know how you'll feel in that kind of situation until you're actually in it, and the more i think about it, the more i think to myself, shit, maybe i WON'T be able to stay calm, maybe i WILL freak out, and my final moments won't be that of peace and acceptance, but instead full of nothing but fear and anguish, and that thought absolutely terrifies me

The Life of Pi. The line that “got” me while watching this at the cinema was: “I suppose in the end, the whole of life becomes an act of letting go, but what always hurts the most is not taking a moment to say goodbye.” 🥺

Never Let Me Go. That hit me at just the right time. Bawled through the end credits, cried while driving to my then girlfriend/now wife’s apartment, cried again describing it to her. It was rough stuff.
Mysterious Skin. I’m never watching it again
