The opening 5-10 minutes for sure. I didn't like the rest of that movie though.
You didn't like Dug or the other dogs?

Nope. It was all downhill after they got to South America.

Pretty sure there were some parts in Boyhood that did this. It's just a real ass movie

The part in Boyhood where he goes off to college hit me hard.

Yeah, Patricia Arquette's last scene in Boyhood is devastating.

I like it when you can get emotionally invested in comedy, these two spring to mind. The final moments of Blackadder Goes Forth and the UK Office.
I suppose I should leave a Doctor Who clip, Jo Grant's leaving gets me every time. Especially as Jon Pertwee was genuinely upset she was leaving.
Katy Manning (Who played Jo Grant) tells a story where she said Jon Pertwee would give her a lift to BBC television centre on the back of his motorcycle every day. She said the following week after filming her last scenes she waited outside for him as usual and then began crying when she realised that he wasn't coming for her.
That's how close they were in real life, also the guy she's marrying in the show was her real life boyfriend at the time.

Shedding a tear or two doesn't count. If we're talking tears, then you have to have been seriously crying. But I'm also talking about profound rage, actually triggering legitimate depressive/bi-polar cycles, even positive, life-affirming experiences. And you know, etc. All are welcome, but I'm especially interested in responses by those not usually prone to getting emotional over that kind of thing.
Nothing like last night, but when I was a kid I of course had those videos that I would watch over and over again, and one of them was The Land Before Time. Mufasa's death in The Lion King didn't have **** on Littlefoot's mother dying. That killed my every time when I was a tyke. If you can get through this scene without getting choked up even now, then you're a robot.

My favorite childhood film was The Land Before Time. I used to watch that movie all the time with Ah Mah. It was about a baby dinosaur named Littlefoot who had just lost his mother and was journeying through a dangerous world to find the “Great Valley”, a land of prosperity and peace. I remember the feeling of utter sadness I felt during the scene when his mother died, and the triumphant and happy emotions that swept over me when he finally discovered the Great Valley, after going through all the hardship to get there. I watched this movie so many times that just thinking about it brings the emotions back. It was a big part of my childhood.
was just reading this before so it's funny you mention this movie. the quote is from elliot rodger's "my twisted world."
that movie was also one of my favorites as a kid. it was my first dino flick. i'll be honest though it doesn't make me very sad. probably cause it's about dinosaurs
the only movie i can recall making me cry was this one
video lacks subtitles but i assume you can get the gist.

So did most ppl, the rest of the movie is crap.
The backstory is so memorable and succinctly told but the rest of the film is just a dull adventure.
