Yes to every single thing on this list. I have too many to add, but I’ll choose two:

1) The scene in Royal Tenenbaums when Richie tries to take his own life and Elliot Smith is playing during the whole scene 😭

3) Listening to Death Cab for Cutie’s Tiny Vessels, Transatlanticism, and Passenger Seat in that order.

All the feels.

Happy belated birthday!! 🎉 There are wayyy too many things that get me in the feels to count or type here. I cry when I see someone else crying lol

But just a few that come to mind right now:

Luke's speech to Lorelai when she gets back from her "hike" and he thinks she's leaving him

When Jack dies in This Is Us. UGH!

Any time I see the ocean or a sunset

listening to live classical music

seeing any animal (but especially cats) suffering from abuse or neglect or simply from being out on the streets. Basically, any animal suffering. That really gets me.

I see that we are a fellow Highly Sensitive Person. Love all of this. I can cry at anything. Empathy is a bitch.

"About Time." I can't even DESCRIBE the final "time travel" without going into sobbing convulsions. And my dad passed away in 2014 and that was when they played movies for the entire aircraft on the screens. And this was the movie. Almost vomited from the tears.

Like I will say "so this father and son can time travel" and then I cry. I may get to "and he gets to choose one last...SOBS.

Ah yes, I'm not sure how anyone could have pieced together how sensitive I am from this list! ;) "About Time" puts me in the fetal position, and it looks like I am not alone. It is brutal!

I can’t begin to explain how “The Iron Claw” stayed with me in sadness until it turned to happiness. I wouldn’t say it is a ‘comfort movie’, but I get the way it can be considered something that makes you happy. “Lion” has the same effect. Great list👌🏽💕
