Your unabashed tearjerker movies

Were we separated at birth?

Arguably, Vin Diesel’s best work.

I haven’t seen the movie but I’m well aware of the story. There’s a statue honouring the real-life Hachiko at the Shibuya train station in Tokyo, where Hachiko waited in vain, day after day, for the return of his beloved master.

I forgot to mention in my previous post about the movie Arthur the King that it’s also based on a true story, which makes it all the more compelling.

Less than 6 months after our daughter died, Mrs Cad decided to go see a feel-good movie so she went to see

Pay It Forward

Paris, je’t aime, specifically the segment 14e arrondissement, where a letter carrier narrates her trip to Paris, her first trip to Europe, to her French class. It’s probably helped by the fact that (character actress) Margo Martindale reminds me more than a little of my mother, who’d died two years prior to the film’s release, but I think it’s a rare, genuinely moving sequence.

Heh. Agreed.

OMG, no! Not that one!

(Sorry about your daughter.)

Not really a tear-jerker, but since we’ve been talking about dog movies, this is a sweet and heartwarming little animated short that won some well-deserved awards. Since it’s freely available on YouTube and elsewhere, enjoy! It’s only six minutes long.

Same here. I keep telling myself I should watch it, but I’d need to be in the mood for a good cry. Which I’m not, often.

The first time I saw it I lost it during the opening sequence. Too close to my real life with Patti.

Can we put in happy tears tearjerkers?

My tearjerker as an adult was THAT SCENE in Guardians of the Galaxy 3.
And then later when Rocket goes onto the spaceship …

JFC, I’m so sorry. This fucked-up world is truly a vale of tears. :cry:

I did! :slight_smile: The ending of Arthur the King is a happy tear-jerker!

Thank you. I only brought it up in this thread because the plot point was so hidden. Kind of like a friend who had just lost her husband of decades so to try to find a little bit of happiness went to see that light-hearted Pixar movie called UP.

When I went to see Saving Private Ryan in the theater, I was walking out at the end and the back row was full of ladies who were around their early 20s during WW2 and all of them were sobbing.

1776, especially “Momma, Look Sharp”.

The kid dropping food from his highchair was a trip down memory lane! When my son was starting to eat real food we gave him a lot of chicken puree. We had a cat that was totally crazy about chicken. She always perched next to his high chair, just like Winston in the animated short, waiting for some of the huge mess he always made to fall her way.

“Cat” (pronounced “caahhhh” because he was only 8 months old) was his first word after “mama.”

Champ!! Champ!! Wake up Champ!

I agree with Homer.

I win.

Brian’s Song
“I love Brian Piccolo. And I’d like all of you to love him too. And tonight, when you hit your knees, please ask God to love him.”

In the late 1980s or early 1990s, PBS broadcast a production of Wagner’s Der Ring des Nibelungen.

Part 2, Die Walküre, got to me.
