It's IMPOSSIBLE to not cry watching CODA, especially in the scene where she's singing to her father

I watched C'mon C'mon twice in the theatre, sobbing relentlessly. Like exesctential crying. It is so disappointing how underrepresented it is at the awards this year. Favourite film of 21, one of my all time favourites (a masterpiece).

[@goodial]

loved that movie!

[@joeblazey048]

[@dodette]

Just the other day I was re watching Good Will Hunting. When Robin William's character Sean tells Matt Damon's Will over and over that "It's not your fault." Assuring Will the abuse he endured wasn't his fault. I sobbed. Because of how much you see Will's soul hurting and breaking. Really acknowledging it for the first time. Feeling safe for the first time in his life to be in such a vulnerable position to let go and just....mourn what he went through.

[@roshanjamal6113]

Wrestler is indeed one of the finest films ever made. Darren Arnofsky is a master of emotionally demolishing the audience. A devastating yet beautiful philosopher of our generation.

[@cinevore358]

Fantastic and underrated director.. Can't wait for The Whale!

yes. i dont wanna be rude to anyone, but maggie outsmart everyone in any category this award season. shes just so passionately in love with movies as an art form

[@Ernie1978]

I loudly agree!

[@laurakuo9429]

I will cry 90% of the time I listen/watch the Dos Oruguitas scene from Encanto. Just seeing how much abuela went through for her family always breaks my heart but then is uplifted again when she realizes where the family's magic actually comes from.

[@jamesporter6276]

@@ayushjain5395 Ansel Elgort's performance was so distractingly awful that I really struggled to get emotionally invested in WSS. Which is a shame because the rest of the film was really great, but him being so central was really distracting

@@cacaktuaaa5695 With actual deaf people playing the parts in CODA. And it's not like remakes haven't won Best Picture before. Ben-Hur was a remake. The Departed is a remake. Let's not pretend a film being a remake somehow excludes it from contention. It's about execution, not whether the story exists in another vehicle prior to this film.

Went on an Oscar marathon like I always do before the ceremony. A few got me, but the most recent one would actually be "The Worst Person In The World" I won't give away the moment, but it involved Aksel and hit too hard and too close to home for me.

[@northwoodlandhills]

Coda and West Side Story made me weep.

[@JazzzzAH]

The last movie I saw that made me cry was Questlove’s Summer of Soul. Loved it so much!

[@Memo2Self]

I was an absolute puddle watching "In The Heights" - but they were tears of utter joy at the beauty of the music, the intricacy of the lyrics, the passion of the actors, and the audacity of the direction. Without a doubt my favorite movie of the year.

[@goodial]

I also cried watching that one! Nina's story of being afraid to not live up to expectations felt very relatable to me, so those weren't really tears of joy for me! (Sadly this movie wasn't released at all in my country and I had to watch it online ...)

[@ashishhoro6241]

don't you think it's kinda lame that they only had the hearing person from CODA get to answer the question, even after multiple people talked about that movie being wildly emotional?

The ending of West Side Story when Maria sings the intro to ´Tonight´. Sadder than any Spielberg fim, not even Schindler´s List tore me apart that bad

[@JessicaChastainFan]

So many to list. Disney's Pinocchio, E.T., Ghost 1990, Ben-Hur 1959...most recent cinema would be Secret Superstar, Woman Walks Ahead, The Zookeeper's Wife and The Eyes of Tammy Faye. Most of the latter was headlined by Jessica Chastain. She's the top pro of all acting pros.

[@RC19786]

so much love for CODA - well deserved!

[@turinturambar501]

I've never consider myself a weeper, but man, I watched Frozen II last week and cried thrice, I watched then CODA and then again, and then Marriage Story. And last weekend I said ok, I'm watching the gritty The Batman, no way I cry. Bro... Such a beautiful ending. Even with Being the Ricardos and Raya. Not to talk about No Time To Die. It seems that all of the films I've seen this year made me cry? Well, all but Dune. Such a lifeless movie. No emotion at all. Most Disney movies don't fail to make me sob, but nothing tops the end of The Lord of the Rings for me, let's be real.

[@chriswright4677]

I also liked “Incarntoe.”
