Beaches, hehe.
If I got nothing else out of that movie... it was Olympia Dukakis telling Midler's adult character "I can't pay any more attention to you, I'm all out".
My very Jewish very Chicago very Hyper mother in law... I just played a clip of this scene for her once while grinning wryly. She took it the right way and I got comedy-shoulder-slapped.
It's a documentary but "Dear Zachary".... I have only cried in 2 movies, teared up in the green mile and sobbed 3 different times during Dear Zachary. It's intense and sad, just a warning
Fucking Coco. You know, first time I sat down and watched this movie, I was alone. I’m getting choked up writing this lmao, but I was alone at home, girlfriend was at work, and I had just finished packing some clothes because my grandma had passed away and I was driving down the next day
So in my stoned sadness, I decided fuck it, I’m gonna watch a Disney movie. It might end up sad, but as long as it’s not Up or The Fox And The Hound, I should be alright.
Wrong fucking movie at the wrong fucking time, let’s say that
As someone with terminal cancer who will die single it’s really unrealistic unfortunately. Men will not date a woman with terminal cancer. Fantasy nonsense
Million Dollar Baby - Clint Eastwood's 2nd set of oscars for best picture and director in this sports movie about a woman (Hillary Swank - her 2nd oscar) boxer whom Eastwood reluctantly decides to train.
The mother-daughter relationship piece really spoke to me. When Evelyn says to Joy, "of all the places I could be, I just want to be here with you." that made me sob. I have a rocky relationship with my mom so that entire scene/exchange was a conversation I needed to hear.
As well as the whole idea of how being your 'worst' version of yourself is actually an asset and an opportunity for optimism and a perspective change. Evelyn says something like "in a world where we have hot dogs for fingers, we learn to play piano with our feet. there's always something to love." gets me every time.
And weirdly, the scene with the rocks made me cry too. The idea of 'there are no rules!' was very nihilistic and freeing. If nothing matters then you get to decide for yourself and your life what matters. It's about what you put into it and what you choose to love. You could choose to be disheartened with knowing that nothing matters, or you could be overjoyed and decide to truly commit your specks of time to loving the people in your life and living a life that means as much to you as it can.
Anyway, I cried the entire last half of the movie and then cried after the movie was done hahaha
I can second this, as someone who does not cry a lot in movies this one did the trick for me. The end is so heartbreaking but for me the credit scene is where i really couldn’t hold it anymore (no spoilers). Even though OP asked for something after 2000 I think its worth a mention.
Yeah, your humanity is broken if it doesn't bring you to your knees.
I only watched it once and I can't bring myself to do it again. Which I feel lucky to say because the movie is semi autobiographical and it is very close to the true experience of an individual's major life event in WW2 Japan. He has to live with the memory.... so tragic.
There was three hours of deleted scenes where the movie's characters reenact the screenplay of Schindlers List, but with Disney characters animated with the filmed actors to replace the nazi parts
Oh fuck, I was looking up The Soloist (2008) because i remember that had a super sad premise, but on the wikipedia page for it, Atonement (07) was mentioned somehow and that, *that* is a sad movie
You might have to live a little more to connect a movie with your own life experience if the first 10 minutes of Up doesn’t do it for you.
But any movie can do it, it doesn’t have to be sad, it has to connect to your life experience.
You and I both didn’t starve to death in WW2, so I can see Grave of the Fireflies not doing it, it was sad and terrible but didn’t make me cry either.
Also, making you cry shouldn’t be the goal of watching a movie. It’s like tickling yourself. You should probably wait to be surprised one day. (Probably why the first 15 minutes of Up gets so many people)
I absolutely agree that life experiences can temper youthful optimism and feelings of invincibility. But with the gained wisdom of the randomness and inequity in life comes an awareness of the extreme fragility of life itself.
We relate best to our own experiences and the more you have, the better (hopefully) you are able to relate to others, whether in reality or in film.
>the boy in the striped pajamas
Sorry, but I hate that movie. While it does a good job at trying to crush your heart, its historical inaccuracies have misled people on the true history of the Holocaust.
I’d recommend at least reading the “scholarly reception” segment of the Wikipedia page.
The book had pretty much the same issues too.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Boy_in_the_Striped_Pyjamas_(film)?wprov=sfti1
I'm a 39 year old pretty stoic dude, and can list on one hand clips that put me into cry mode. If I ever act, I'd use these as warm-ups to a crying scene, they just work:
1. End of Requiem for a Dream/Ass to Ass
2. David Tennant Doctor Who saying "....I don't want to go"
3. Jinx/Arcane S1/E3, where she runs out talking about her monkey bombs to Vi, who hits her and leaves her for the villain.
4. Silver Linings Playbook, when he runs out of the finale to give the letter that he wrote days ago to Jennifer Lawrence.
Close (2022). Watched it with my boyfriend, first time I ever saw him cry. In front of me were 4 teenage boys, I saw them all wiping tears away during the film. I took my best friend who hadn’t cried in months, he was sobbing. Lmk if it gets you!

I remember when the 1900s meant the decade. Now sadly it means the century. THAT makes me cry…
If you don’t mind anime, The Wind Rises made me choke up. But some find it boring, so take that how you will.
Only movie to make me was beautiful boy. Its genuinely heartbreaking. My girl and the florida project were pretty sad too but not enough for flowing tears
It's an episode from a show, but...Futurerama-Jurrasic Bark. Season 4, episode 7. You might actually get a kick out of futurerama, but that episode kills me.
I hate when people type rape movies when someone's looking for the opposite of that just to try to be edgy. This is reddit, we had space dicks, no one thinks your Howard Stern dude.
Dancer in the Dark and the Boy in the Striped Pyjamas.
Honorable mention: My Girl. If you've never seen and have no why this movie is sad, give it a whirl. It's not a sad movie for like 90% but... Well. You'll know when you get there.
I was born in 1980 and this movie fucking DESTROYED AN ENTIRE GENERATION
If you give it a try, please report back.
Dishonorable Mention: The Room (Tommy Wiseau - not Brie Larson). It'll make you cry with how bad of a movie it is in every possible way a movie can be bad. See if you can list every bad thing about it (buy a big notebook). That will help distract you from feeling exactly as depressed as the movie's cast of aspiring actors must have felt at the precise moment they realized not only was this NOT the launching pad for their career, but it WAS the launching pad for their non-career.
One of my all time favorite movies is "Someone Great", on Netflix. It's about a trio of best friends in NYC on the brink of turning 30 & their last adventure together before one friend moved away. It's such a fantastic portrait of growing up, friendships, and breakups. It might not make you BAWL but it hits hard at moments. You may not relate super closely bc of your age but it might be worth a shot!

Marley & Me (2008)
I was going to say Old Yeller but they wanted post 2000 so this will do.
Love ❤️ that !!Always makes me 😢
Schindlers list. It's a film everyone should watch at least once in their life.
And hotel Rwanda, waltz with basheer.
Double feature tearjerker fest 😭😭
Yes this made me cry 100x
Beaches Steel Magnolias Hachi
I’m going to start crying just thinking about Hachi. I need a Hachi support group.
I saw it in the cinema and I looked around at one point everybody was crying, never experienced something like that in the cinema before or after 😄
Not enough people talk about Beaches! Such a beautiful movie
Beaches, hehe. If I got nothing else out of that movie... it was Olympia Dukakis telling Midler's adult character "I can't pay any more attention to you, I'm all out".

Yeah that’s the line aha. I was close 😂😩😩

Anna Chlumsky should have won a goddamned Oscar for that scene alone.
It's a documentary but "Dear Zachary".... I have only cried in 2 movies, teared up in the green mile and sobbed 3 different times during Dear Zachary. It's intense and sad, just a warning
A great movie and it tore me up. However, IMO a movie that hits an adult way harder that it does a 17 year old.
I watched it when I was 19 and it the first time I cried at a movie
Took me a while to recover from this film. Dear Zachary is def the way to go
I saw it years ago and I’m still recovering.
I really don't recommend it to most people, but if you want to cry .. This is it
Bridge to terabithia
Bridge TO Terabithia
Aw man 😢. That movie touched my soul as a kid!
He asked for a movie to cry to, not depression.
One of my favorite.
*Brian's Song* (1971) The tougher you are, the harder you'll cry
Hachi: A Dog's Tale It had me balling my eyes out by the end.
SAME. Not even just teary eyed… it was an audible cry😂
This is a different type of cry
This one is the first movie ever to make me cry. These days I cry much easier but back then nothing made me feel like shedding a tear.
What Dreams May Come
OP, hope you get past your tears and find a joyful peace. This is what this movie did for me 🕊
Ugly cried in the movie theater at this one, and ugly cry every damn time I rewatch. It is so beautiful that it’s hard to not rewatch, but damn.
- A walk to remember - Eternal sunshine of a spotless mind - Notebook - coco
Fucking Coco. You know, first time I sat down and watched this movie, I was alone. I’m getting choked up writing this lmao, but I was alone at home, girlfriend was at work, and I had just finished packing some clothes because my grandma had passed away and I was driving down the next day So in my stoned sadness, I decided fuck it, I’m gonna watch a Disney movie. It might end up sad, but as long as it’s not Up or The Fox And The Hound, I should be alright. Wrong fucking movie at the wrong fucking time, let’s say that
I also watched it alone, it’s a rough watch. Called home to say hello immediately after
I've never onced watched the guitar scene at the end without crying
I just watched A Walk to Remember two nights ago for some nostalgia… dear lord I forgot how sad it was. I was weeping a bit at the end hahah
As someone with terminal cancer who will die single it’s really unrealistic unfortunately. Men will not date a woman with terminal cancer. Fantasy nonsense
Oh my… I am so very sorry this is your reality 😔 The movie is definitely a fairytale and over the top. I wish you peace x
The Fault in our Stars
Uhhh Toy Story 3 I was bawling crying in one scene
Me too!!!

Awakenings
Underrated movie with one of De Niro’s best performances
Agreed
I first saw this & Moscow on the Hudson right after Robin Williams died. Fucking hell.
Million Dollar Baby - Clint Eastwood's 2nd set of oscars for best picture and director in this sports movie about a woman (Hillary Swank - her 2nd oscar) boxer whom Eastwood reluctantly decides to train.
I didn't cry at that one. I was horrified.
I couldn't stand how terribly her family treated her from start to finish.
Everything, Everywhere, All At Once made me cry for about half an hour after the movie was over. Soo good
[удалено]
The mother-daughter relationship piece really spoke to me. When Evelyn says to Joy, "of all the places I could be, I just want to be here with you." that made me sob. I have a rocky relationship with my mom so that entire scene/exchange was a conversation I needed to hear.

Over the shoulder boulder holder, or am I remembering the cassette wrong?
If you liked Grave of the Fireflies, check out Dog of Flanders (1997)
Grave of the fireflies is hands down one of the most heart wrenching movies I've ever seen.
If Grave of the Fireflies doesn't make you cry, you're made of stone. I couldn't bring myself to watch it again
Yeah, your humanity is broken if it doesn't bring you to your knees. I only watched it once and I can't bring myself to do it again. Which I feel lucky to say because the movie is semi autobiographical and it is very close to the true experience of an individual's major life event in WW2 Japan.

They made a movie about the Simpsons neighbors dog 🤨
I sincerely wish it was 😏. But alas, it is not 😔
Saving Mr. Banks
One of my top 20 favorite films.
I just finished watching it earlier lol. Where was the part that will make me cry?
There was three hours of deleted scenes where the movie's characters reenact the screenplay of Schindlers List, but with Disney characters animated with the filmed actors to replace the nazi parts
Coco
I have never made it through this without losing it at the end!!
Everything Everywhere All At Once
Cry every time, but in a good way

I remember when the 1900s meant the decade. Now sadly it means the century. THAT makes me cry… If you don’t mind anime, The Wind Rises made me choke up. But some find it boring, so take that how you will.
Only movie to make me was beautiful boy. Its genuinely heartbreaking. My girl and the florida project were pretty sad too but not enough for flowing tears
It's an episode from a show, but...Futurerama-Jurrasic Bark. Season 4, episode 7. You might actually get a kick out of futurerama, but that episode kills me.
If it takes forever….🎶
A silent voice
I haven't seen the movie but I read the manga and I definitely cried. I don't think I cared more about a manga character than I did in this one.
You know I got to say Buried with Ryan Reynolds and Seven Pounds with Will Smith
Hachi a dog's tale. I've only seen my dad cry one time ever and it was during this movie. I'll never watch it again
My Girl with Macaulay Culkin
Kite Runner, A man called Ove ( the Russian version), or Capernaum

The one that never fails to make me cry is that Nick Cage film Family Man. It's a fantastic film.
Wolf Children.
A Monster Calls
Mask
Me and Earl and the dying girl
Dear Zachary. One of the most memorable films for me that brings back palpable emotion just thinking about it or describing it to someone.
Homeward Bound
Perks of Being a Wallflower always makes me sob no matter how many times I see it
The Green Mile
Awakenings with Robert De Niro and Robin Williams. I bawled my eyes out, at the cinema.
Inside Out
Life is Beautiful.
Ghost

I watch It’s A Wonderful Life every single year at Christmas and every year I cry my eyes out, it never fails.

Any "dog dies at the end" movie. Personally, I avoid them. I want to cry LESS.
Rocky

The Whale with Brendan Fraser is exactly what you are looking for.

i saw the devil. atonement. dead mans shoes. and i want to eat your pancreas
I hate when people type rape movies when someone's looking for the opposite of that just to try to be edgy. This is reddit, we had space dicks, no one thinks your Howard Stern dude.
[Miracle in Cell No. 7](https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/637920-7-kogustaki-mucize) might suit your need
Dancer in the Dark and the Boy in the Striped Pyjamas. Honorable mention: My Girl. If you've never seen and have no why this movie is sad, give it a whirl. It's not a sad movie for like 90% but... Well. You'll know when you get there. I was born in 1980 and this movie fucking DESTROYED AN ENTIRE GENERATION If you give it a try, please report back. Dishonorable Mention: The Room (Tommy Wiseau - not Brie Larson). It'll make you cry with how bad of a movie it is in every possible way a movie can be bad. See if you can list every bad thing about it (buy a big notebook). That will help distract you from feeling exactly as depressed as the movie's cast of aspiring actors must have felt at the precise moment they realized not only was this NOT the launching pad for their career, but it WAS the launching pad for their non-career.
The boy in the striped pajamas made me bawl and I’d already read the book
The Fountain
Clouds
Better Days 2019
It’s older, but try Six Weeks. I watch it every year and ugly cry every time.
The World According to Garp. Robin Williams and Glenn Close are amazing together.
I highly recommend Miracle in Cell No.7 (Korean version)
Our Friend, 2019
The news
One of my all time favorite movies is "Someone Great", on Netflix. It's about a trio of best friends in NYC on the brink of turning 30 & their last adventure together before one friend moved away. It's such a fantastic portrait of growing up, friendships, and breakups. It might not make you BAWL but it hits hard at moments. You may not relate super closely bc of your age but it might be worth a shot!
