Lord of the Rings is probably the main one for me. Return of the King's ending scenes are too damn emotional.

Brokeback Mountain is a movie that made me so happy during the first parts of the movie and then completely crushed me afterwards. I always feel bad whenever I see it. Usually I don't watch it until the end.

Dancer in the Dark is equally awful. My stomach was filled with anxiety and angst.

Both these movies are awful because they are also truthful. And the truth about the evil of the world hurts so much.

Mr Holland's Opus. The final scene/performance consistently makes me tear up.

No one said Fox and The Hound? Wow. Okay.

Most of mine have already been mentioned:
The Road
Children of men (the baby crying scene is spectacular)
Warrior (makes me want to call my brothers)

I'll add:
Edward scissorhands (I'm a sucker for outsider stories)
And recently the very final scene of Edge of Tomorrow was intensely emotional for me for some reason.

 

[Synless]

Recently? Interstellar, them parental feels.

Mr Holland's Opus. The final scene/performance consistently makes me tear up.

Dude! That move triggers me like no other. There's something about a person leading a quiet life and getting well deserved recognition that strikes deep into my heart.

 

[Lender]

Grave of the Fireflies destroyed me. I was sobbing like a little girl during the last half hour. Big Fish made me tear up as well. Beautiful Movie and ending. Most recently was interstellar. The

scene with the video after they came back from the water planet was heartwrenching.

My wife would say Melancholia. That film put her into a state of depression for a couple of days.

Glory.

It always watch it when it comes on but it's about as emotional as films get for me.

I had no idea what Dear Zachary was when I started watching it. I wasn't ready.

Same. The fact that the director was personally involved just makes it a whole different level of touching.

 

[chaostrophy]

Only Yesterday. It has some sad parts, but overall it's an incredibly uplifting and inspiring film.

 

[Darth Pinche]

The Fountain and Big Fish

It was also around the time a very good friend of mine was struggling with brain cancer. Each film was very cathartic and helped me cry and process some of the feelings I was dealing with at the time.

 

[digitalrelic]

Whether you believe McCandless to be a visionary or a fool, it can't be denied that his journey was an emotional one and that his story was both a tragedy and a wonder.

The conclusion was one of the most emotional, sad, yet uplifting endings I've ever seen.

So much fight. So much charisma. That this is a true story makes it all that much more impactful.

"It's not your fault."

Hit close to home for me as I've had multiple friends who've died at young ages. JGL was superb as well.

You knew it was coming, but it didn't matter. I balled my fucking eyes out through the last 20 minutes of this film.

Most of Ghibli's stuff, Robocop (1987), the Gurren Lagann movies, LOTR Trilogy, Schindler's List

 

[dave is ok]

No one should ever have to watch Dear Zachary. The movie should be removed from Netflix

 

[True Savior]

Recently Wolf Children. It hits all the right notes.A beautiful representation of a section of a person's life.
