Best if the old movie is made before 1990
It’s a Wonderful Life, every time
Lord of the Rings - The Return of the King. It’s been 22 years since release …
That is not an old movie. It’s not a recent movie, but it’s not an old movie.
Debatable. There are adults who weren’t even born back then.
22 years is old.
It’s relative.
Two decades is old. An 80s movie in the year 2000 was old.
I don’t agree. I watched tons of movies from the '80s in the 2000s and I didn’t really think of them as old. Certainly not recent, but not old old.
A 22 year old movie in the year 2000 would be from 1978, it’s a 70s movie!
Almost none of these are old movies
Star Trek II: Wrath of Khan always makes me cry. The death of Spock, the exchange between him and Kirk, it always kills me.

Not exactly “cry”, but Terminator 2 was very emotional for me. And it wasn’t just the ending, it was the theme song in conjunction with it. Even right before the movie, the whole opening sequence (before the events of the stories start) with the
spoiler
People just enjoying life and the nuke just going off, it was so… emotional… like very high stakes… such tragedy…
The depictions of the fires just slowly burning through everything…
All of this destruction is a version of the future that already happened, and the last hope for humanity is some kid that hasn’t even grown up yet…
Whenever the theme plays, the I feel like I’ve accended beyond the linear 3D plane and went into the 5D world and I can visualize the entire Terminator timeline. Its just this concept of time travel is so fascinting.
It’s tragedy, its genocide, and the small glimmer of hope, all contained in a single soundtrack. The spirit of the entire series (especially T2) is all described by this one single magnificient soundtrack.
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.
2010 (Space Odyssey 2).
Don’t cry, it’s only thunder.
Grave of the fireflies.
Blade runner.

If that movie doesn’t get you to shed a tear, you’re not human.
I’m a pretty hard-boiled tough guy by most standards, and I’m getting a little misty just thinking about it.
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.
Almost every Charlie Chaplin’s movie.
Of the relatively recent movies, Interstellar. You know the scene. Or scenes.
After the Promise 1987
Escape from Sobibor 1987
Dang '87 was a tear jerker fest in my timeline.
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!
Oldboy. no, not because it’s sad
Life Is Beautiful
