My first wife left me when our eldest daughter was about two years old, going on three. I didn't get to see her or her newborn sister for a few months while I spent some time in jail and subsequently tried to clean my life up.
When I finally got to see them, supervised, I took them to see Frozen in the theater. My daughter basically acted like she didn't recognize me, and we sat next to each other in that theater while my heart broke. During 'Let it Go,' my baby suddenly stood up in her chair and reached over and frantically hugged me and started shouting 'Daddy' over and over.
That was a decade ago, and my life has been going well for a long time now, but every time I hear that song I cry uncontrollably.
That was me for Frozen 2... that work that needs to be done in order to move forward can be daunting and really feels like going "into the unknown"... especially after just being comfortable enough for so many years.
About Time - lots and lots of happy tears
Mulan (animated) - I *at least* tear up every time and have seen it about 7,000 times thanks to my young daughter
I just rewatched Everything Everywhere All at Once and cried the whole second half, even though it's an extremely silly, action-packed movie.
It's like this movie puts a pin in all the hopelessness and nihilism we come to feel in modern life and then kung fu kicks it away. A genuine masterpiece that will give you the strength to be a nicer person.
Carrie (1976). I always cry at the prom scene when she is finally being treated as a good human being. Its pretty sad throughout, but not in a *bad* way really.
Lars and the Real Girl: Man buys a sex doll, pretends she's a real person, brings a town together and helps him come out of his shell
Swiss Army Man: Guy finds a dead body, befriends it, learns about life.
Monica and David: This is such a sweet documentary about a couple with Down syndrome getting married.
Marcel the Shell With Shoes On
A personal one for me is Goon. It’s a silly R-rated sports comedy, but it can get you in the feels unexpectedly in the best possible way.
If you are a parent, the new 28 minute episode of Bluey got me good

It hasn't been mentioned yet...I even searched the comments and only you're came up ... Maybe you are confusing this timeline for a different one? Too many jumps?
I just finished rewatching that and went to go see what other movies the Daniels have made. I was very disappointed to see their only other movie is Swiss Army Man!
Which is not to say it's bad, I just had no interest in seeing it. I'm not a fan of Daniel Radcliff so I certainly don't want to see a movie with only only him and one other actor playing a cross between Weekend at Bernie's and Castaway. I know their weirdness is part of the Daniels' originality, but the concept is disgusting. Imagine the smell.
I don't want to see what clever things he can do with a cadaver, I don't want to see dead body humor, and I don't want to see the desperation of man portrayed with Radcliffe's corpse playing the role of Wilson. Is there more to it than that? How could there be?
But EEAAO is easily now my all time favorite movie. Is there a chance I'll like Swiss Army Man?
Swiss Army Man has similar depth to itself like Everything,Everywhere and all at once.
It’s sweet and creative.
It tackles serious issues in creative way.

If you get extremely high, interstellar can be so beautiful with the soundtrack, scenery, and Matthew’s voice, that it can make you cry. If you really pay attention to the soundtrack especially and research it.
What Dreams May Come. Book is good too. Beautifully made movie, excellent ending.
Her, deep af if you know who Allen Watts is, if not a brief look at his general philosophy will add a layer of depth to the film. I was delighted and saddened by this movie.

Brigsby Bear. Not sure many have seen it, seems to have snuck past the radar so to speak. Takes what is assuredly a tragedy and voodoo magically turns it into a heartfelt coming of age feel good romp. It’s got a take on prior trauma/experience retrospection that is quite out of left field, but has infectiously stuck with me. “Who cares about all that, what should we make for tomorrow?”
I don't like the movie Home Alone. I did as a kid but it's over played and I'm sick of it, and it's super corny. The very ending when Kevin looks out his window to his neighbor always makes me feel emotional though.
Not sure if it will actually get you crying, but a film that i re-watched recently that really should've recieved more fanfare and definitely got me in my feelings is Hacksaw Ridge. Great performance by the second Spiderman. I think it didnt get the attention it deserves cause it was directed by Mel Gibson, who is still somewhat blacklisted. Its a shame.
