Best if the old movie is made before 1990
Bicentennial Man
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
Shawshank Redemption
Is Captain Phillips (2013) old yet? I’m sobbing at the end.
The Ghost and Mrs Muir (1947)
All Dogs Go To Heaven.
1989
- Don’t mind me turning to dust in my chair.
“Paths of Glory” is one of Kubrick’s most underated films (or at least lesser known) and the ending is pure emotional power.
The fact that you just spent almost 90 minutes hating humanity and the shitty situations in which we put ourselves as a species, only to be able to come away from the film thinking “we’re not all bad” because of what happens in the final 10 minutes blows my mind.
If you haven’t seen it, I can’t recommend it enough.
Dead Poets Society (1989)
Powerful ending, just excellent.
No idea if it holds up in the current era.
I think it holds up. But I’m biased because it’s on my top 5 movies of all time.
Great film. I hate to call it old. Even though I realize it is 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.
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
Harry and the Hendersons when they make him leave. Lithgow telling him he wasn’t wanted 😢
Almost every Charlie Chaplin’s movie.
This mashup is great. i cri evrytim
Yes, and that speech is even now important. Chaplin was a great man.
It’s really incredible how timely it is 100 fucking years later.
