Which Movies Were So Sad That It Actually Made U Shed A Tear? (Don't Lie!)

I didn't actually hear what it was really about. I thought it was just some mediocre fairy tale type story and then it started hitting me. If you've ever had someone close to you get sick (which most of us have), there's no way this movie doesn't stab you right in the heart at some point.
 
A Time to Kill when they discussed the rape scene of the little girl in court. The passion of the Christ the sheer brutality was a lot to take in.
Also the nightly news in 2016-2017 watching all of my Brothers and Sister being gunned down. By Law Enforcement on video.

Honorable Mention although I knew it was coming. When Eazy was told he had aids and only a short amount of time left. Shit was just turning around. I remember wanting that reunion in real life. That was my ERA.
 
I'm a 40 year old black dude from Cleveland. I've got no problem watching movies and crying because I'm secure in my shit. As a writer, I watch movies and get into the characters, to empathize with them. Hopefully one day this will Show in my own works.

Up... The very beginning showing the struggle of life. Trying to do right and everything refusing to line up. Having to spend the money you saved for something other than what you intended and never getting to do what you had intended.

Coco - a recent movie, cartoon by Pixar. I'm not going to ruin it for those who have not yet seen it but it was worth a watch. It makes you think of your elders/ancestors

The Green Mile - you felt the story of John Coffey when you finally see what really happened at the end. It also hurts that he's innocent but wants to die anyway to be free of it all.

Marley and Me -I'm a cat person, and I don't really like dogs, but this movie had me crying
 
In recent memory it would be the next to last episode of Babylon 5 when President Sheridan went off into space to die alone.

After getting my hands on the box set, I found out most of the crew also teared up.
 
Stop Loss - this wasn't a great movie by any stretch of the imagination. But as a veteran who had heard stories and been close to people who have lost someone it was hard to take, so the story caught me probably more than the movie did.

As the end came near, I was reminded of these stories I'd heard from people who had either killed after being stop-lossed or killed in combat. Tears were falling slowly as I sat in the second to last row of the theater.

I was wiping my eyes, first a little, and then a lot. All of a sudden, a hand clasped my shoulder and said, "Let it out, son," and I lost it - full-on cryfest. I was loud, tears pouring and it really didn't matter because the credits we're rolling and everyone was leaving.

It turns out, this old White guy was an old Korean war veteran. We stood, hugged and we both cried real tears in the isle.

We separated, wiped our tears. Sat and swapped military stories in the theater until the next showing came on. He introduced me to his wife and we went our own way.

It was strange because it was so... You don't just touch anybody at the movie theater, even if they're crying. But at that moment, from one veteran to another it was, "I'm here for you, brother."

True stories I was told while deployed in Kuwait I was in Navy customs.

I was speaking with a Master Sergeant, a brother about 40 years old. We were walking around the staging yard where battalions were kept after we had already checked their bags.

I asked him how much longer he had in the army and he told me he had been stopped lost and that he should have been gone last year. He was glad he was going home and he hoped the Army would finally let him retire, and that his friend wasn't as lucky

He went on to tell me that his friend and given the Army 23 years of his life and put in his papers to retire so he could see and spend time with his family for the first time in forever and was told that he was stop-lossed, which means the military doesn't have enough people and they can keep you for as long as they need to even passed the day when you're supposed to get out.

Two weeks later that man was deployed, and two weeks after that the vehicle he was in hit an IED and he was killed.

As the Master Sergeant told the story I could see the anger growing in his eyes, the frustration and bitterness. He said that he'd hoped to pay his respects to that man's Widow when he got back. The two had join the Army together in 1983 and have been closed their entire careers. Their spouses were close as well.

Damn!! Your army story was moving!! I joined the army in "81", I got out in "87" after they extended my tour by 2yrs!!!
 
So pops was a cac whose parents ran to Oakland parents after the 67 riots ? If he's from there u should know bout what im speakin on.

In "67" my dad was gettin released out the military jail, for something he did during his vietnam tour!!
 
Since my mother died basically any movie that shows a mother's love for her children fucks me up. That scene at the end of Ray when he sees the flashback of his dead mother and how she was proud of him but he still became a cripple just takes me out of the game.
I just found out a guy who I was stationed with in Kuwait lost his mother yesterday. RIP Mrs Arceo

Go check out the movie Coco. You'll enjoy it and cry a little, too. I did. RIP to your mom's, slick.

Also when the station itself was being demolished..even JMS got choked up on the dvd commentary
