I had to double check this is the post where you wanted to cry. My pick for great drama is My Life as a House so good!

After Ashleigh finishes the Lethal Weapon series, I think she’d really love Loaded Weapon 1. Especially with that cameo 😉

Some day we'll get to the best Bond flicks. Some day.

You wanna see Robin Williams at his finest, watch Jumanji👍

How is Night at the Museum beating James Bond??

In the mood for a good cry, “The Impossible” or “Pay It Forward” are guaranteed tear jerkers.

If you want a really good "put-you-in-the-hospital" cry movie, all I'm gonna say is "Hachi: A Dog's Tale".

A Father's Day poll would be good too. Something that shows good dads. Something like Father of the Bride or City slickers

Ashleigh, why haven't you watched the movie *Oz the Great and Powerful* (2013)? Because you've already seen the movie *Wicked*? Well, please go watch *Oz the Great and Powerful*.

It's been a long time since I watched the Frisco Kid. It was produced only two years after the first Star Wars in 1977. There is an 85% chance that for Ashliegh it will become another Bedknobs and Broomsticks fiasco. And I say this as a Jewish person. Gene gives it his all. The problem is with the material he's given. It's just not a very good movie. "Start the Revolution without Me" staring Gene Wilder and Donald Sutherland will hit the right Ashleigh funny bone. So, for what it's worth, those are my two cents. Harrison Ford is great in most of his films, like Gene he wasn't given much to work with.

You need to see a variety of Hitchcock movies before you see High Anxiety. I think you've only seen Psycho and the Birds which means there's about 10 more to see otherwise all the jokes will go over your head. Will be happy to give you a list at your leisure. 💙 love to you, hubbin, & Beans!!!

FWIW, for Mel Brooks I'd replace Life Stinks with The Twelve Chairs.

I really don’t understand why Jumanji has so many votes. I know I will get skewered for this, but it’s just not a great franchise

SO glad Pink Panther’s on the list. Hopefully Rush Hour will be on the next FF list. 🤞

Two excellent Robin Williams movies producing more tears than his usual manic laughter would be Awakenings - with Robert DeNiro and Bicentennial Man. Only Awakenings is a true story. Both are a unique watch.

A dozen "Big Cry" Movie Recommendations (All must see, Great movies with great casts): Deep Impact (1998) - I wept! The Great Debaters (2007) -timeless historical drama film (based on a true story) - I wept! Forever Young (1992) -Maybe like "Always" in some ways. Romance, time travel (?) type of element -Cast includes one of Ashleigh's favorites! About Time (2013) stunning romantic fantasy comedy-drama Wish I Were Here (2014) quirky, but lovely comedy drama We are Marshall (2006) A football movie -maybe (?) in the vain of Remember the Titans in that you will cry! The Great Escape (1963) A World War II movie - remember that D-Day is June 6th! or also appropriate for Memorial Day (I admit to crying at the end) An Affair to Remember (1957) -The classic crying movie A Walk to Remember (2002) - A newer generation's crying movie Unstoppable (2016) A feel good thriller but still cried at the end movie On Golden Pond (1982) [I did not cry the first time I saw this, but I did the last time I saw it. I'm getting Old!] Captain's Courageous (1937) I wept!

Do you want to watch some really, really, *really* sad movies—the kind that make you truly weep? Alright then, I recommend these: - Coco (2017) - Miracle in Cell No. 7 (2019) - A Silent Voice: The Movie (2016) - A.I.

I Love You (2007) - Philomena (2013) - Powder (1995) - Raya and the Last Dragon (2021) - Stepmom (1998) - Seven Pounds (2008) - Soul (2020) - The Fast and the Furious “Because of Paul Walker” - The Fountain (2006) - The Impossible (2012) - The Whale (2022) - Train to Busan (2016) - Vanilla Sky (2001) - WALL·E (2008) - The Notebook (2004) - World Trade Center (2006) - Your Name. (2016) - Gran Torino (2008) - Unexpected Family (2026) - Date with an Angel (1987) - Big World (2024) - Time Still Turns the Pages (2023) - Ocean Heaven (2010) - The Boy Who Could Fly (1986) - Prayers for Bobby (2009)

The Bourne series is OK with me as long as it includes "The Bourne Legacy" (2012). One should see at least one of the earlier films with Jason Bourne before seeing "The Bourne legacy" (2012), but I truly believe that "The Bourne Legacy" is a must see in the action thriller category of movies. Also the use of technology in "the chase" is mandatory on the issue of rights of privacy in the USA.

Please let me know if there with be an Angel season 5 uncensored edit?

Jumanji, Muppets and Night and the Museum

Several years ago I was getting a pedicure and they had a movie on. I got sucked into it and then was crying like a baby in the salon. 😂 It was called Hachi: A Dog’s Tale. Like you, I’m an animal lover so I’m overly sensitive to animals and their loyalty.

I cry at everything so don’t ask me for the cry ratings on these! For Pride: Bound Big Eden Imagine Me & You DEBS (full movie, but the short is also cute!)

Yay! Jumanji, You in the mood for a BIG cry Ashleigh? Children Of Men

In no particular order, ALL of these films will give Ashleigh some big ugly cries: 1. UP 2. A Walk to Remember 3. Marley and Me (dog movie) 4. Hachi: A Dog's Tale 5. Bridge to Terabithia 6. Sophie's Choice 7. Life is Beautiful 8. The Boy in the Stripped Pajamas. 9. JoJo Rabit 10. Uptown Girls 11. Old Yeller (another dog movie) 12. The Whale 13. Million Dollar Baby

If you want a big cry there is a World War 2 movie very few have seen, called "Escape from Sobibor" Made in the 1980s. Staring Alan Arkin, and I forgot the name of the actor who plays a Russian in that film, he was the robot who saved Harrison Ford.

Does anyone think Ashleigh should check out some Darren Aronofsky movies (Requiem for a Dream, The Wrestler, Black Swan, The Whale, Mother etc), or do think those might be a bit much? Don't get me wrong they're very good movies, but they're the types of movies most people don't want to watch more than once (anyone who has seen them will know what i'm talking about)

For a BIG CRY movie I recommend The Trip To Bountiful from 1985. It won Geraldine Page an Oscar for Best Actress that year.

1. The War (1994) - Highly under rated movie. 2. Walk to Remember - Not sure if you have seen this one 3. The Persuit of Happiness

The JB Series. But I'm not talking about James Bond nor Jack "Chloe, I need those schematics now." Bauer

Good to see Pink Panther here. Also, no mother’s day poll? Awww

YAY for Jumanji!!!! And Bourne! I know you'll love both of those! Unfortunately, I am a bad ally and haven't seen many pride movies (besides the ones you've already watched). Except Milk. It's a great movie, and definitely a tearjerker. Here are other top tearjerkers per the interwebs: Call Me By Your Name (2017), Moonlight (2016), All of Us Strangers (2023) and Longtime Companion (1989). If you're looking for "other" tearjerkers... Coco, Up (both Disney/Pixar movies), Stepmom, Me Before You, The Fault in Our Stars, Bridge to Terabithia and Patriots Day

The Impossible, Stepmom, Coco, A Walk to Remember, Beaches

Boys Don't Cry is big sad, and it's based on a true story which makes it even sadder.

Let's break this down: Bourne Series, you've seen one, you've seen all, to the point they can swap up guys and it barely matters, then swap back. Plus it is 5 films and one TV Series, with only the series' names sake really only in four of the the films... Mel Brooks- while Life Stinks is not peak Mel Brooks, it is still a decent movie, and then you have High Anxiety, the Alfred Hitchcock style comedy that Hitchcock himself adored so much that he sent Mel Brooks Champagne and told Mel to not have any Anxiety about how great it was... To Be or NOT to be, Mel's only film done with his wife, Anne 'Mrs Robinson' Bancroft, with a baby Christopher Lloyd and numerous other great comedic moments, the ultimate WWII Comedy... Silent Movie, all star cast, Marcel Marceau speaking (if you know, you know), and the last silent movie made in Hollywood (second to last silent movie made globally to date). Jumanji films are fun, and humorous. James Bond is the slog that never ends, as they have made so many, and more are still coming out, and not all Bonds are good or equal. The Thin Man... what can I say... nothing, because the three movies were in the 30s, three movies were in the 40s, the TV Series was in the 50s, and the best Thin Man movie is actually the knockoff characters played by Dame Maggie Smith and David Niven in 'Murder by Death'... the Charles couple has hardly been relevant detectives in over half a century (really more like three quarters of a century). The Muppets... these can all wait... need to have something to see when Frank Oz eventually passes. The Night at the Museum films are fun, have great casts, and are a manageable list... definitely a top pick to vote for. I think Eleven (Nine Old, Two New) Pink Panther Movies is a really hard load to take on, even if you split it into three groups, Peter Sellers Old Pink Panther, Not Peter Sellers Old Pink Panther, and Steve Martin New Pink Panther, that is still Seven, Two, and Two, and the series gets broken up as Sellers comes and goes. Sort of Sadistic to Vote for it. General thought, three to five films is a doable franchise, getting to more and adding a TV Series muddies everything. It is one thing if it is a franchise from a Producer/Director/Actor, as you can pick and choose, or do a little now and a little another month maybe, but true interconnected series complicate things when you try to watch them in quick succession. Mell Brooks, Jumanji, or Night at the Museum should really be the only picks here.

Lots of good suggestions here. I'll vote for "Old Yeller" 1957, a Disney film. Kills me every time.

Frisco kid was a longshot hope for me. Loved it when I was younger.

Pride movie suggestions: RENT (musical, possible tear jerker) Love, Simon (sobs) Milk Fire Island (fun) Other movies not necessarily Pride related that will (probably) make you cry: Coco Stepmom Marley and Me A Walk to Remember The Notebook

Don’t watch The Muppets Wizard Of Oz. That movie sucks. I watched it several years ago and hated it. I watched it with my family If I came across it when looking for a movie to watch, and decided to watch it, I probably would’ve turned it off after 20 minutes

Really the only one I want is Night at the Museum and that one’s losing. Only the original Jumanji is worth it, the newer ones are horrible

Jumanji...is that the Robin Williams version?

Mel Brooks will celebrate his 100th birthday, June 28, 2026.

And if you want an excellent Steve Martin film, go with "Pennies from Heaven" This is a film unlike any you've ever seen before. It is truly a uniquely creative flick from start, to middle, to finish. You will be surprised. It's fun watching a film you will be unable to predict where it takes you next. Steve has been in a lot of great films, in my opinion, it is my all-time favorite Steve Martin film.

If you want super silliness go with a young Gene Wilder and Donald Sutherland, in "Start the Revolution without me." The ball/bawl...scene will bring out big laughter. The entire premise, movie from start to finish is the type of silliness you'd appreciate, Ashleigh.

Big Cry Suggestions - A Man Called Otto (Bonus: Tom Hanks movie) - Whale Rider (ending is uplifting)

Just a recommendation for yourself to watch, as I dunno if you could do it on the channel. But POSE is an AMAZING TV show about the LGBTQ+ community, specifically those who are POC in New York City in the late 80s and early 90s. It shows ballroom culture and chosen families. My best friends told me about this show in 2020 and it is so good and it will make you UGLY CRY and laugh.

The director of jumanji also did “zero effect” which is a great detective movie with Bill Pullman, Ben Stiller, and Ryan O’Neil. Also if you’re going to watch Inspector Clouseau movies watch “a shot in the dark” it is probably the best one.

High Anxiety wouldn’t be on my Mel Brooks list, but the others are great! (Especially To Be, or Not To Be)

Muppets 2001 and Muppets Most Wanted are Really Fun, but I also have to vote for the Jumanji franchise

Big cry for pride.., have you seen Philadelphia yet?

Excited for Frisco Kid, not only for the ovaries but also because it is genuinely one of the best demonstrations of Wilder pouring out his heart in a scene. He's so vulnerable and open in this it's incredible.

Big cry: • The Big Sick (2017) • Little Women (2019) • Sense and Sensibility (1995) Pride: • Bound [Unrated] (1996) (obviously) • Carol (2015) • Handmaiden, The (2016) • Heavenly Creatures (1994) • Kajillionaire (2020) • Moonlight (2016) • Potential cry + Pride (these will not win polls FYI) • Hearts Beat Loud (2018) • Other People (2016) • Pariah (2011) Also, warning: you may see the film Mysterious Skin (2004) on LGBTQ film lists, and it's very good, but just be warned: it is *extremely* heavy and dark.

Jumanji winning? I just dont get it, its one decent movie and then garbage but to each their own

Big Cry Movies: The Miracle Worker (original 1962) I Want to Live! Finding Neverland The Enchanted Cottage (1945 version) Dances with Wolves It’s a Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood Saving Mr. Banks Dark Victory An Affair to Remember Bucket List What’s Eating Gilbert Grape Eight Below The Diary of Anne Frank (original 1959 version) The Pianist Sophie’s Choice Stepmom Adventures of Milo and Otis Everest Selma Free Willy Safe Haven Brian’s Song (original 1971 version) Richard Jewell Bengi The Matthew Shepherd Story In the Name of the Father She Said Bombshell (2019) Roman Holiday Victims for Victims: The Theresa Saldana Story Killers of the Flower Moon When Billie Beat Bobby Christopher Robin Goodbye Christopher Robin Bohemian Rhapsody A Star is Born (Judy Garland version) Arthur the King Marley and Me Charlotte’s Web (cartoon) Airbud A Child is Waiting Green Mansions White Fang (1991 version) Ashleigh HAS ALREADY SEEN The Notebook!!!!

Bond, only Bond. Starting to look really forward to the next batch, it has been some time since the last, but can wait another month. Do hope we get one sometime this spring/summer though. A pride movie that made me cry was A Single Man (2009) (Colin Firth, Nicholas Hoult, Julianne Moore). Haven't seen any reactions to that one yet. Can't put myself up to watching it again alone, waiting for a reactor ;)

Of course the only two I have no interest in (Jumanji and Night at the Museum) are in the top two... Only thing about To Be or Not to Be, which is a fine movie, is that it is a remake of a film from 1942, and very faithful. The original, by Ernst Lubitsch, is the true classic (and I think even Mel would tell you the same thing). It's also much braver than Mel's given the time it was made. I hope you consider watching that first; I think of Mel's as being fun to see him cover the original with his wife, but to enjoy it that way you should see the original first.

Tv series British Queer as folk. Then do American one. I love the movie a Beatiful Thing. You could see Neve Campbell brother in Trick. Bent is a wartime serious gay movie. Bound is good but more drama. My own private Idaho had baby Keanu in it.

Pride Suggestion: ANGELS IN AMERICA Not only is it one of the most important pieces of queer history in existence, but the CAST will FLOOR YOU you will recognize SO MANY names you will lose your MIND!!

Pride - Heated Rivalry (Tv show, 6 episodes) Big Cry - Balto 1995 (animated), A Walk to Remember 2002

The Impossible is great for a good cry, plus it's very stressful. Pursuit of Happyness made me sob. Stepmom is super underrated. Very curious how you would feel about City of Angels.

A lot of recent Disney Pixar will get you emotional. Namely Soul

As far as Cry movies: A man called Otto, Train to Busan, Les Miserables, These three got me to cry a bunch. Hope you enjoy them.

How about If these walls could talk 2 & boys don’t cry for Pride

I believe it's that time of the year where we bring on the "Bound" requests. :D Also, I will second Coco for big cry movie

Mel Brooks—all the way. I need some laughs. Goofy, silly ones!

Just want to point out, High Anxiety is a spoof title of the movie High Society. Aaaaand, it does spoof all of Hitchcock's movies, and I can't remember if you've seen Psycho, The Birds, North by Northwest, etc. So if you haven't, you might want to watch those first. Also, Life Stinks is...not great.

Even though Bond is a mixed bag for me, I'll always vote for it, cuz why start a new series when still in the middle of one

For the big cry, i would watch "A Monster Calls (2016)". That movie gets me every time!

Big criers depending on taste: Sophie’s Choice, Call me by your name, Requiem for a Dream, Come and See,

Imagine Me and You is always my rec for Pride, but I think Ashleigh would love Bottoms too For big cry I'd say Arrival, Bridge to Terabithia, The Impossible, all pretty much broke me

You'll need Philadelphia, with Hanks, for a big cry. An amazing performance and would so fit in with the Pride theme. Also - do Bond, your way 🤭😮🤣

Also. The Whale made me ugly cry for over an hour.

Big cry? Mileage may vary, but I've always found the sci-fi movie, SILENT RUNNING (1972) to be cry worthy. It's been described as Wall-E for grown-ups and has incredible acting, special effects and directed by the man behind the effects from 2001, and a soundtrack featuring Joan Baez which isn't for everyone.

If you do the Jumanji series, would you also happen to include Zathura? I believe it’s by the same people, and is essentially “Jumanji In Space.”

High Anxiety is such a brilliant and funny movie that nobody ever reacts to. Probably my favorite Mel brooks movie.

Hedwig HAS to finally happen for pride

When will you do Charlie Brown/Peanuts?

For Pride, if you can find it. Torch Song Trilogy. Boys Dont Cry is another one.

If you truly want a big cry I suggest The Impossible (2012) It's a movie everyone should see. It's based on a true story. ♥️

Bring back Bond!!! Finish them off. 😊😊😊

If you want a big ugly cry, WATCH COCO!!!!!!!!

The Muppets and Most Wanted are amazing! Hoping for that option just for those two.

I was hoping for an Erotic Thriller poll but for now I am still going to die on the James Bond hill. Just thinking about Daniel Craig makes me melt. ❤️‍🔥

☹️😔
