One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, first viewing 1975.

 

Never cried over a movie, previously or after.

 

The fact McMurphy and Nurse Ratched never hooked up should not have upset you to such an extent. 🤔

Always tear up at the end of It's A Wonderful Life and City Lights, can't help it.

Oh my God, YES!   When she's in the hospital bed and says "win."  Gets me every time.  Good call!

[That's No Moon]

Inside Out when Bing Bong sacrifices himself for the life of the little girl who will forget he exists as a result of his sacrifice. Kids movies are cold blooded.

Terms of Endearment 

Schindler's List 

Super Bowl XXV Highlights - Seriously, if you don't cry at the end you're not human.

- Toy Story 3

- Marley and Me

- 50/50

 

As soon as I saw the thread title, the 1st 2 you listed came immediately to mind.  "Toy Story 3" was ridiculous - I was basically sobbing uncontrollably.  I was glad they had the bloopers stuff during the credits so I could compose myself before heading out into the lobby.

 

Close to the same w/ Marley & Me.

 

And it's not a movie, but I can never get through "Cat's in the Cradle."

Life as a House

Forrest Gump

Braveheart (irony not lost on me)

Cinderella Man

 

There are more, this I am sure of.

If any of you say A Star Is Born I'll be waiting outside when it's dark and Hell is hot, ya dig?

Marley and Me? I would’ve kicked that dog out of the house so fast his head would be spinning. BAD dog.

Forrest Gump made me cry because it lasted so long.  One of the most overrated movies of all time.

Dark Water (Jennifer Connelly version)

My Life

Snoopy Come Home

 

 

I'll add Tammy and The T Rex is a movie that can make me laugh so hard I cry for all the wrong reasons.

There aren't even any words in the whole thing.

To each his own brother.  Watched it a bunch of times and it never gets old.

There are some “dust in my eye” moments every time I watch Castaway (which is a movie I will stop and watch any time I see it in TV).

Schindler's List

 

Schindler's List is the only movie I can recall that elicited so clearly an emotional outpouring in me, at least while seated in a theatre, during the movie.  

 

Its was actually at the end when all the real people involved in the story were putting the little rocks on the grave of the real Oscar Schindler.  There I was in public, crying, and utterly unable to stop it.

 

Probably the single greatest emotional response I have ever had to any film.

 

It's one of the reasons why I have that film somewhere in my personal Top 10 all time, maybe top 5.

 

I know people who will not see it b/c "it is depressing" or some other pre-conceived negative thought...they have no idea what an experience they are missing.  And it's really a very optimistic, positive story at its core.

Saving Private Ryan

Me Before You

 

 

Saving Private Ryan has its moments, but there are more tear jerker moments for sure in the entirety of Band of Brothers.

 

I guess BOB is not technically a movie, but it really is, and it's a really long, good one to boot.

 

Lots of scenes in both SPR and BOB, and especially the documentary they did about the real BOB, called "We Stand Alone Together".  Watch that if you haven't seen it by now!

I've never actually cried during a movie, but there were some that put a lump in my throat. "Schindler's List" was one. Another, along similar lines, was "Life Is Beautiful" (La vita è bella). I can't remember if it's in English or if it's subtitled in English, but either way, it was very powerful. 

 

I did get a little choked up at the end of "Marley and Me."  And during Kirk's eulogy for Spock at the end of "Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan" (arguably Shatner's best performance.)
