Best if the old movie is made before 1990
Return to Paradise. Yet to talk with anyone that’s seen it but I cried so much I’ve never been able to watch it again
After the Promise 1987
Escape from Sobibor 1987
Dang '87 was a tear jerker fest in my timeline.
When I was a kid, every year or so I would see kiki’s delivery service on tv.
It wasn’t sad or anything like that, but I always swelled up with emotions that I didn’t understand and would quietly cry
The crying game
Wuthering Heights (1939)
All Dogs Go To Heaven.
1989
The Lion King (1994)
Oh, that’s been a bad one on REwatch after the most recent passing of one of its stars. It’s so much more sad, now.
Not before 1990 but when I watched Terminator 2 as a kid I cried when they lowered the t-850 it into the molten slag.
Grave Of The Fireflies. Two children trying to survive in Japan during World War 2
Just saw Elephant Man at the Music Box Theatre. Incredibly moving film if you haven’t seen it. They’re currently running a film series on David Lynch and that was the first of his films I had ever seen. Planning to see more this week if I can!
Nice! Welcome to the world of Lynch! Hope you enjoy them. Have you seen Twin Peaks?
Schindler’s List
It is a cinematic triumph and a film that everyone should see. With that said, I am unable to ever view it again. The scene where Schindler is breaking down realizing that if he didn’t have expensive items he could have saved more people just absolutely killed me.
That plus the descendants of those he saved placing stones on his grave
- Don’t mind me turning to dust in my chair.
Grave of the Fireflies is a good one and has been mentioned a few times already.
Fox and the Hound has several tear jerker moments, though most memorable for me is when Todd is returned to the forest.
Land Before Time was my first parent death in a film that I can remember. And unlike Bambi, this movie shows more of the consequences of losing a mother at that young of an age.
The Wizard of Oz. Such a good movie!
The Ghost and Mrs Muir (1947)
