I’ve seen all but 2 of the movies in the list, but the one that is the most well done and hardest to watch is “Grave of the Fireflies”. It’s a cartoon, but will make anyone cry.

Some old ones can have this effect:

“The Roaring Twenties” - when Cagney exacts his revenge on Bogart and is subsequently gunned town on the church steps in a final act of self-sacrifice.

“The Little Match Girl” (1937) - A powerful piece of forgotten animation. The end is particularly disturbing.

“The Hunchback of Notre Dame” (1939) - The final scene....

Many others do. Sometimes PTSD gets the better of me....

Gettysburg. At Little Round top when Chamberlain realizes that he has no where to go and makes the decision to charge. Also all of Picket's charge at the end.

I would say Rocky (original) had some good moments, especially the fight’s last round...

Passion of the Christ.
I only watched it twice.
Yes, perhaps it was enhanced a bit, but very effective.
The passion Jesus had in getting to the cross is overwhelming.
You could see there was only fear that he may not make it and the emotional exchange between Simon of Cayenne and Jesus is so powerful.

That is the name and the reason for the movie.

Every real man would prefer a heroic death and Christ did it in God's will and love,
The King of the universe who died for my sin so that I may live. There is that parallel in Saving Private Ryan.

I almost did at the end of “A league Of Their Own” when they had that Jimmy Dugan ( Tom Hank's character ) died, but then looked it up and found out that the character was born 1906 and died in 1987. Not bad for a guy who burned the candle at both ends like he did.

When was the last time ANYBODY watched Love Story?

It’s a relic of the 1970s.

Where the Red Fern Grows.

The book, not the movie so much.
I read it on the deer stand and my tears
patter on the dry leaves...
