It's a brief moment, but this scene from Never Been Kissed really gets to me.

I just rewatched this and I knew it was coming but every time I forgot just how good her performance is in that moment. It's gut wrenching.

Came just to see if Toni in Hereditary was posted. Also oblig Florence in Midsommar.

And Paul Dano’s iconic “Fuuuuuuuuuck” in Little Miss Sunshine lol

I have not experienced anything like what that character did, but her "I smile and I smile and I smile" hit me hard ngl

I haven’t seen it for 20 years or more, but the scene in Truly Madly Deeply where Juliet Stephenson is sobbing with grief over the death of her partner (Alan Rickman - not a spoiler, he’s dead when the movie starts) has always stuck in my mind. She’s a phenomenal crier.

Came to make sure Steel Magnolias is on the list. I sob every time.

Even though I know it’s coming, I get choked up every time. From the time she’s at the hospital to funeral, I am a blubbering mess!

Sally Field is just so good the entire movie.
