    Cinema Paradiso. Wonderful Italian film about a boy’s relationship with an elder in the town as he mentally escapes war torn Sicily. Just wholesome and hits hard. It’s a beautiful story and the soundtrack by Ennio Morricone, ohhhh so good.

    The scene in Interstellar when he returns from the time dilation to watch like 40 years of updates he missed from his kids.

    So my sister bought me the wind rises… I went it watching it thinking it was another fun film… I called her after I finished and told her I was not mentally prepared for that.

    Such a beautiful film though…

    The original Fresh Prince when Will is desperately trying to convince himself he doesn’t need his dad. Every time.

      It’s funny that for having such a full career I still think Fresh Prince was an absolute masterpiece and unequaled by anything else Will Smith did. (Second place was probably the original Men in Black).

      This is the top of the list. Nothing else comes close when you need a really good and sincere cry.

    Ernest Goes to Camp, when the kids pick on him and reject him. He sings the song “All I Needed Was a Friend”. No joke, shit hits hard

    Birdman (with Michael Keaton) - nothing in the actual movie but the absolute soul crushing sadness when I realized that they weren’t making a Harvey Birdman Attorney at Law movie.

      You want a tearjerking Michael Keaton movie, watch My Life. Hydrate afterwards, plenty of electrolytes, you’re welcome.
