There is a local woman, here in Birmingham, AL, that has some sort of suv with "TWNDA" on the back. I'm pretty sure she's a fan. I see her on the highway on the way to work sometimes. After all, the book was written by Fannie Flagg. She is from Birmingham, and actually lived across the street from the First Baptist Church (where I went as a child) in Irondale. The cafe is a few minutes away.
That was a great movie. The first time I saw it it was just a random movie playing at a party. It sucked me right in. Watched the whole thing and ignored the party.
I just love the visuals in that film. Like the scene where he sees Allison Lohman across the circus for the first time, and time slows down? He's walking across the floor and brushing popcorn out of his way in mid-air?
Beginning through to the end of Shawshank.. everytime.. despite having read the even more amazing book and crying on the first line cos I know both versions too well..but Andy Dufresne didn't see it like that

Dear Zachary - this one really really hit me.
In fairness, everything has been making me cry lately. Stupid menopause.
Oh god, I saw the trailer for the new Color Purple movie-musical and my stomach dropped. The original 1985 movie was the best film I never want to watch again, it hurt so bad. Now I have to go watch this new one?? Ugh.
I mean, I'm going to. But it's gonna wreck me.
When I first saw this movie, my daughter was about the same age as the main characters daughter. I couldn't stop picturing myself in that situation and I'm pretty sure I was dehydrated by the end.
A testament to the power of no dialogue and just the expressions on the faces or Andy’s toys.
And then for the amazing rescue with the callback to the first movie…absolute perfection.
Watching the 3yo grandkid, I’ve seen Up w her before. Spouse has not. GK wants to watch Up. Pops clicks, it starts. 10 minutes in, Pops glares at me thru tears “why didn’t you warn me?” We’ve been together since 1977, so it hits different.
Yeah. I wasn’t even a mom when I watched that movie. Now I am a mom of 5 and I just can’t even…. The sheer raw emotion Shirley McClaine pulled off in that scene… 😭
Seriously. I was in love with that quirky little thing- I hadn’t really liked a movie that much in a while. Then… you know the scene, I did one of those audible bawling moves and I lost it. I was like “oh no no no no no no!”
Made my sister come in the room worried about me.
A wonderful movie tho, I just got a bit teary remembering it.
And I also did love Iron Giant too.
JoJo Rabbit has the best ending of any film of all time for me. I can just watch a clip of the ending and get tears in my eyes. All the pain turns into hope 🖤
It’s such a unique cry too isn’t it? It’s almost a melancholy circle of emotions. Going through that pain for the brief, but immensely worthwhile, joy. Such a great film, and you could even argue understanding Jeremy Renner’s characters feelings being totally valid as well. My favorite movie.
I love sci fi, but I don’t understand why this is always portrayed as a ‘tear jerker’ or even emotional. I have autism, but I don’t think that’s why, I’m usually pretty good at understanding movies. I’ve never understood why this is always suggested in such things.

Christmas Eve 2019 I was at a big crossroads in my life and felt like I was totally alone being weighed down by the decision. I sat up in the middle of the night contemplating my life and it’s worth when IAWL came on. The story of George Bailey spoke to me so much, when he breaks down on Christmas Eve it felt so cathartic to feel him express what I was feeling to a tee and I sobbed nonstop. To this day I watch it alone every Christmas Eve as a tradition
It will always get to me knowing that James Stewart was battling crippling PTSD and depression after returning from WWII, and he felt he couldn’t return to Hollywood when he was brought onto the film. According to Stewart he related to Bailey’s struggle so much that it inspired him to act again and save his career
Exactly. Get drunk and throw a pity party. Dissolve into a puddle of tears in the last scene when they read, "No man is a failure who has friends." Choke on the loneliness.
I usually watch this after the kids go to bed on Xmas eve. For many reasons it makes me bawl. My name is George. I’m lucky enough to have friends who’d be there for me like in the movie. I’m also estranged from my brother (his choice) so the part where Harry comes home and toasts George as the richest man in town levels me.
There was a friend of mine who was getting into anime and asked for some suggestions. I told her about Grave of the Fireflies. The very next day, she came up to me and called me an asshole for recommending that movie.
Is asked, "Oh, did it make you sad?" (stupid question)
She replied, "No! It made me angry! At you!"
The plot and what it was building towards clicked for me in the scene when he’s dancing with his daughter, I’ve never felt so emotionally crushed like that before
Some people call it a Keyser Blade….mmmmhmmmm.
Probably one of Billy Bob Thornton’s best performances. Shout out to Dwight Yoakam too…he played the perfect redneck asshole….never knew he could act.
"I need to know I did ONE thing right!"
Yeah that hits hard even if the context of it is illogical. The people who cares he doesn't help, it's the one who wishes him death (at that point anyway) that he cares for.
So intensely romantic and warm and crushing.

UGH Beautiful Boy hit me WAYYYY harder than I ever expected. I was in tears and speechless by the end. Idk if Timothee will ever top what he did for that character 💔
Scenes with the Psychiatrist and the end when his dad stands up to his wife for her narcissistic behavior and lack of true love for his son. Glad she left.
“You’re here and you’re alive. And don’t tell me you don’t feel that.”
“It doesn’t feel good.”
“It is good, believe me.”
“How do you know?
“Because I’m your friend.”
Mary Tyler Moore was riveting in that. Like she had poured so much into her denial of her own grief she just turned herself into a shell.
I hope wherever she wound up she found healing. 😢
I like to cry to movies so a lot of them. The main ones are probably:
Wolf Children, the green mile, schindlers list, dancer in the dark, and others in forgetting.
I recently bawled my eyes out throughout the Emmett Till movie. I’ve gotten more emotional lately, but I can’t not cry when it comes to that poor child

Then you'll be horrified or tickled at this story:
I used to go to a gym that had a movie room that had rows of exercise equipment in front of a big movie screen. I come in one day, get on a machine, and only then do I realize they're showing Marley & Me. The room is darkened and I hear sniffling on one side of me and on the other, they're cranking up the speed on the treadmill, trying to out run tears. It was insane.

I cried for a couple hours. Then I cried again every time I heard the music, as in commercials and trailers. That was it for him. Just that one. What a beautiful movie it was and it destroyed me.
Not a movie, but when I want to ugly cry, all I need is the 3 minute Thai life insurance commercial called "silence of love" on youtube. It gets me every time.
I believe there's similar commercials and clips out there, and some music videos does it for me too. Sorry if it's a bit too off topic.
Movie wise, I shed a few tears for a lot of movies. Grave of the Fireflies stands out to me, and a lot of anime and Asian media in general. I feel like they really take heartbreak to the next level over there. (A few glasses of wine usually helps as well.)
Once Were Warriors, about a Maori family. One scene in particular, but the whole thing is upsetting.(Prime and YouTube)
Cry Freedom, especially the end credits. Based on a true story, but from a secondary person's POV. (Prime and YouTube)
Hamlet, Kenneth Branagh's 1996 version. I don't know where. Also, it's the whole play so it's around four hours long. I didn't notice, but you might.
A Dog's Purpose. I don't typically cry at movies and that one had me sobbing out loud. I didn't know much about it before I watched and thank God I didn't see it in theaters. I would have been escorted out.
Big Fish. My dad told a lot of exaggerated stories and so many people showed up to his funeral that I had never met and they told the same stories to me and my brother.
The iron giant. Gets me every time. “No following” 🥹
"Superman....." 🙂😊🚀💥
I'm very surprised to see this first thing. Also very happy, because I was also gonna suggest it! It's my favorite movie of all time!
Fried Green Tomatoes. It was fantastic and I hope I never watch it again
I️ love this movie so much I’ve probably seen it 20 times.
Some of the best storytelling of any movie I had seen.
Towanda!
There is a local woman, here in Birmingham, AL, that has some sort of suv with "TWNDA" on the back. I'm pretty sure she's a fan. I see her on the highway on the way to work sometimes.

‘I’m older and have better car insurance’
Check out the book. It is amazing and still gives the tears
Dear Zachary
I think watching this was the first time I was so angry I couldn’t cry.
Same here. I was fuming and clenching my fists despite knowing there was nothing I could do.
Go in blind, it’s worth it for a real ugly cry
Big Fish. When the end hits, it’s like I cry actual anime faucet tears.
That was a great movie. The first time I saw it it was just a random movie playing at a party. It sucked me right in. Watched the whole thing and ignored the party.
I'm a train wreck during that final scene.
One of my go to ugly cry movie along with Peanut butter falcon and About time
About time I'm afraid to rewatch because man... the ugly cry...
Yep. About Time killed me.
I just love the visuals in that film. Like the scene where he sees Allison Lohman across the circus for the first time, and time slows down? He's walking across the floor and brushing popcorn out of his way in mid-air?
Had no clue what I was getting into when I saw this in the theater. I was bawling in public. Such a good movie though.
"My girl in the river." 😭😭😭😭😭
Came here to say this. Watched this for the first time shortly after my father in law passed away and… I cried the most cathartic cry of my life.
Came here to say this
When he's in the bath, it wrecked me
Dead Poet's Society. I ugly cried in a movie theater for the last half hour of this movie. Still cry every time I see it.
OH CAPTAIN, MY CAPTAIN
Just reading that gave me chills, and I'll tear up thinking about it. What an awesome movie.
That sentence alone makes me want to cry remembering the scene in the film
I was going to say this. >!This moment they get on their desks.!<
End of Shawshank. Every time.
Beginning through to the end of Shawshank.. everytime.. despite having read the even more amazing book and crying on the first line cos I know both versions too well..but Andy Dufresne didn't see it like that
Morgan freeman on that damn bus. "I hope the ocean is as blue as it is in my dreams. I hope to see my friend again and shake his hand. I hope." Masterpiece.
Hachiko and COCO. 😭
Hachiko had me crying uncontrollably
Hachiko? The ending of the Futurama episode Jurassic Bark will leave you a crying mess…

Life is Beautiful, The Sea Inside, The Color Purple, Big Fish, Tick Tick Boom, Children of Men, Coco, Lost in Translation, Dear Zachary - this one really really hit me. In fairness, everything has been making me cry lately. Stupid menopause.

Manchester by the Sea
I Am Sam Gets me every time.
When I first saw this movie, my daughter was about the same age as the main characters daughter. I couldn't stop picturing myself in that situation and I'm pretty sure I was dehydrated by the end.
The end of Toy Story 3.
A testament to the power of no dialogue and just the expressions on the faces or Andy’s toys. And then for the amazing rescue with the callback to the first movie…absolute perfection.
“Hold me”-Kim “I can’t”- Edward Scissorhands *kim proceeds to put his arms around her*
The ending kills me. Start bawling as soon as the snow starts….getting wet eyed right now.
The music helps too. That Danny elfman score is too moving. I think about it when it snows.
The Whale was the last one to make me ugly cry.
The Whale ... what rollercoaster of emotion
I bawled in the theater. My mother looked at me when the lights came on and goes "You related to that didn't you?" Ugh I'll never forget it
The whale was a rare film where my partner cried and I didn’t, it felt very strange.
Dancer in the Dark
Oof... rough.
This one destroyed me.
Dude. Lars von Trier is not for the faint of heart.
That’s the one I put before I saw your post.
Terms of Endearment made me cry harder than I’ve ever cried in my life.
Also first 5 minutes of Up.
Watching the 3yo grandkid, I’ve seen Up w her before. Spouse has not. GK wants to watch Up. Pops clicks, it starts. 10 minutes in, Pops glares at me thru tears “why didn’t you warn me?” We’ve been together since 1977, so it hits different.
The way they hit you with that right at the beginning of an animated movie! I was not ready.
Especially the scene in the hospital, *Give my daughter the shot!!*
Yeah. I wasn’t even a mom when I watched that movie. Now I am a mom of 5 and I just can’t even…. The sheer raw emotion Shirley McClaine pulled off in that scene… 😭
Terms of Endearment was the movie that made my mom hate Jeff Daniels for the rest of her life.
When that little boy started crying in the hospital, I lost it. I mean, I still can't even.
Jojo Rabbit
I second this! THAT scene came so out of left field for me and left me bawling! Such a great movie!
Seriously. I was in love with that quirky little thing- I hadn’t really liked a movie that much in a while. Then… you know the scene, I did one of those audible bawling moves and I lost it. I was like “oh no no no no no no!” Made my sister come in the room worried about me. A wonderful movie tho, I just got a bit teary remembering it. And I also did love Iron Giant too.
The shoes gave me PTSD
JoJo Rabbit has the best ending of any film of all time for me. I can just watch a clip of the ending and get tears in my eyes. All the pain turns into hope 🖤
Babe. The one about the little pig
“That’ll do, pig. That’ll do.” 😭
Both Babe movies make me cry like no tomorrow
'I want my mamma' jfc 😭😭😭🐖
My Girl with Macaulay Culkin always fucks me up too
"HIS GLASSES!!! HE CANT SEE WITHOUT HIS GLASSES!!!"
[удалено]
Also And The Band Played On. Box of tissues required. That last scene is a brutal shot to the feels.
Arrival every time
And children of men
One the the best movies of all time imo.
Omg every.damn.time. I’m a parent and I literally sob watching it
It’s such a unique cry too isn’t it? It’s almost a melancholy circle of emotions. Going through that pain for the brief, but immensely worthwhile, joy. Such a great film, and you could even argue understanding Jeremy Renner’s characters feelings being totally valid as well. My favorite movie.

What Dreams May Come makes me ugly cry every time I watch it.
Omg I forgot about Bridges of Madison County. I definitely ugly cry every damn time. 😭
It's a Wonderful Life.

I watch that every Christmas. Helps when feeling down.

Grave of the fireflies was the hardest watch of my life
Yes! How is this not the top answer! So rough.
Surprised i had to scroll down so far for this one
There was a friend of mine who was getting into anime and asked for some suggestions. I told her about Grave of the Fireflies. The very next day, she came up to me and called me an asshole for recommending that movie. Is asked, "Oh, did it make you sad?" (stupid question) She replied, "No! It made me angry! At you!"
Mary and Max
DUDE. I had no idea what I was getting into when I watched this
Everything Everywhere All at Once
I second this. I cry every time Joy and Evelyn have their New year’s Eve scene together
The parent/child dynamic in many films is the catalyst to ugly crying.
I have never seen a movie that had me going between laughing and crying like that.
Train to Busan
Fuck I forgot about that one. Nope 😭
Gotdamm the little girl singing…
I was surprised I cried, then I showed my wife the movie, huge mistake... She was a mess
Aftersun is fucking brutal
I was looking for this comment. I haven't ugly cried like that for years.
The plot and what it was building towards clicked for me in the scene when he’s dancing with his daughter, I’ve never felt so emotionally crushed like that before
A time to kill. What that little girl & her family endured is devastating
It also has one of the most satisfying moments in movie history. "Yes they deserved to die and I hope they BURN IN HELL!"
The changeling with Angelina Jolie it’s such a good movie n based on a true story and I want to rewatch it but it’s so gut wrenching I can’t
La Bamba The Land Before Time Like Water for Chocolate Life Is Beautiful Up Room My Girl
Sling Blade. Every time.
Some people call it a Keyser Blade….mmmmhmmmm. Probably one of Billy Bob Thornton’s best performances. Shout out to Dwight Yoakam too…he played the perfect redneck asshole….never knew he could act.
Bridge to Tarabitha
A Star Is Born with Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper
The whale was the most recent movie I watched that made me ugly cry. The main character is also lgbtq.
Was also going to recommend The Whale and it’s lgbtq related. Ugly cried for sure. I think it’s streaming on Paramount +
"I need to know I did ONE thing right!" Yeah that hits hard even if the context of it is illogical. The people who cares he doesn't help, it's the one who wishes him death (at that point anyway) that he cares for.
Perks of Being a Wallflower
As soon as his sister picks up the phone at her friends house i start sobbing knowing what’s coming next
Truly, Madly, Deeply. Little known gem. Soft build and so cathartic.
I miss Alan Rickman. He was amazing in this movie. "My feet will want to go to where you are sleeping."
So intensely romantic and warm and crushing. "I am like someone who carries their loved one on their shoulder.” J. Stevenson - Nina A superlative performance.
Such a wonderful movie!!!9

Harold and Maude. I love that movie so much.
Oh my God, yes! At the end, when you hear that first chord of "Trouble"... OOF! right in the gut.
