Best if the old movie is made before 1990
Is Captain Phillips (2013) old yet? I’m sobbing at the end.
Star Trek II: Wrath of Khan always makes me cry. The death of Spock, the exchange between him and Kirk, it always kills me.
For me it is Shatner’s performance during the funeral. Any time Shatner’s acting gets made fun of I bring it up.
Lord of the Rings - The Return of the King. It’s been 22 years since release …
That is not an old movie. It’s not a recent movie, but it’s not an old movie.
Almost none of these are old movies
Debatable. There are adults who weren’t even born back then.
22 years is old.
Two decades is old. An 80s movie in the year 2000 was old.
I don’t agree. I watched tons of movies from the '80s in the 2000s and I didn’t really think of them as old. Certainly not recent, but not old old.
A 22 year old movie in the year 2000 would be from 1978, it’s a 70s movie!
Roughly the same gap between Star Wars: A New Hope coming out and Y2K happening.
Even talking about Y2K and AOL floppy disks sounds old and once again is roughly the same time span to today.
Oldboy. no, not because it’s sad
The Lion King (1994)
Oh, that’s been a bad one on REwatch after the most recent passing of one of its stars. It’s so much more sad, now.
Of the relatively recent movies, Interstellar. You know the scene. Or scenes.
1990? Old? Get off my lawn!
Oh, don’t be coy. We can already smell the soil on you.

Honorable mention: The Neverending Story. Cried during one scene in the movie, not the end.

Batteries Not Included
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.
An Affair to Remember (1957) Yes I did watch it because it is referenced in Sleepless in Seattle and yes I did blubber cry just like the SiS characters suggested.
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
The Wizard of Oz. Such a good movie!
Dead Poets Society (1989)
Powerful ending, just excellent.
No idea if it holds up in the current era.
Great film. I hate to call it old. Even though I realize it is now.
I think it holds up. But I’m biased because it’s on my top 5 movies of all time.
