Quentin Tarantino dug up and used actual KHJ radio broadcasts from 1968 and 69, along with commercials, for the soundtrack to Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. He sifted through 17 hours of airchecks to find the tracks he wanted to put in the film.

While filming a 170 foot waterfall in the movie Apocalypto, a cow was trying to cross upstream and went over the falls. It emerged at bottom, banging against the rocks, but after a local man swam in to calm the cow it then climbed up the bank and began eating grass as if nothing had […]

Over the years, you’ve no doubt realized that TV shows and movies are chock-full of songs written for only that production….and some of them are awesome and pretty unforgettable!
A writer at The Daily Show named Randall Otis threw this question out into the Twitterverse for people to contemplate.
What’s the best fake song? Like a song that exists in the world of a show/movie but not our world

And now we want to hear from you…
In the comments, share some more fake songs from TV shows and movies that you like.
Please and thank you!
The post People Shared “Fake Songs” From Movies and TV Shows That They Love appeared first on UberFacts.
As someone who loves movies, I’m well aware that there are TONS of things that happen in films that are just…well…ridiculous…
And sometimes those things can really get on our nerves!
AskReddit users went on the record and shared the unrealistic things in movies that drive them crazy. Let’s take a look!
“Unrealistic wealth.
Typical family with one working parent has a four bedroom house with in-ground pool; college graduates living in some swanky penthouse on a babysitter salary.
Twenty-four year old doctors.”
“Playing video games.
Randomly mashing all buttons at the same time and pressing R1/L1 and R2/L2 for no reason…”
“High school scenes where there are lounges in the hallway and students are free to be wherever they want to be around the building(s) no matter the time of day without consequence.”
“Omniscient bad guys.
I know you have to have the plot move forward, but dude is trying to hide in Europe and somehow the villain is always where the hero wants to go before they get there.
I mean… Europe is pretty big, and I can’t imagine getting totally lost there would be all that difficult.”
“People living in these gigantic NY or LA apartments while working jobs that realistically could never pay for such a nice place.”
“People doing CPR. Then the person who just got CPR wakes up like 10 minutes later and eats lunch.
Also movies are really bad at maintaining sterile fields in operating rooms.”
“When the mom prepares a feast for breakfast and everyone only takes a bite or two before rushing off.
My mom would have scolded me for wasting food. Also, she wouldn’t prepare a huge meal for breakfast.”
“Gun silencers being that quiet. In reality they’re like the sound of someone clapping.
For that matter just about any gun being fired inside. The noise is deafening. Even in the movies you see people wearing hearing protection at a range, but then when action scenes occur that aspect is completely thrown out.”
“Casually strolling away from a massive explosion.
They have eardrums of steel and shrapnel proof skin.
It’s legit, I Googled it!”
“Stalker-ish behavior being portrayed as “romantic”.
The man in a relationship being portrayed as a near-braindead doofus.”
“People getting knocked out cold for an hour, then waking up and going about their day like nothing’s happened.
I once got knocked out for like two minutes and ended up sick for a month.”
“My son in law is a video game programmer and it drives him crazy when in cop shows/movies they use a computer to search for a match to fingerprints or a face and the screen scrolls with the images flashing on the screen.
He’s like do you know how much computing power it takes to render all those images the computer doesn’t need to flash them on the screen !!”
“Mostly in romcoms: people randomly running into each other out in public.
Like, how small is your town that you bumped into the same person 3 days in a row at a restaurant/bar/shop?”
“When two characters do something simple like glancing at each other and then the romance has started.
If a man and a woman bump into each other and some music plays that’s enough to ensure the romance has begun.
I bump into guys all the time, where’s my boyfriend??
“Pretty much any police detective show…
Female detective constantly wearing high heels (which would be uncomfortable alone and very challenging during the inevitable foot chase scene).
Immediately upon discovering evidence at a crime scene they will pick it up using a loosely held glove or the tip of a pencil.. in real life evidence needs to be documented/photographed before handled and how lazy are you that you can’t properly slip on a glove.
Just about everything else forensics wise. I everyone with loose hair, rarely wearing gloves, every fingerprint or other peice of evidence is relevant to the crime.
The crime scene line is like 10 feet from the body so the public has a great view of everything and of course any nearby evidence is destroyed.
Every time the cop says that you have to tell me X or I am going to arrest you for obstruction.”
What do you think?
What unrealistic things in movies really drive you up the wall?

The couple ends up together in the end. The bad guy gets it eventually. The underdog always wins.
The things listed above are all examples of things that happen all the time in movies and are totally unrealistic.
You know it’s true!
And some of these unrealistic Hollywood conventions really drive people crazy. Let’s see what AskReddit users had to say about this!
“Sprinklers going off indoors.
When this happens in the movies, people are super excited, laughing, jumping around and playing in the water like it is raining.
In reality, the water in those pipes is absolutely disgusting, dirty, smelly, black water that would make most people run like hell to get away from.
Source: I used to install sprinklers in buildings during my high school summers as a part time job.”
“I am 76 years old and have been buying things in stores since I was five.
I have never ever seen someone toss some money on a counter and say keep the change and then dash out with the purchase.”
“I hate when someone is driving and they’re talking to the passenger without looking at the road for like 10 seconds at a time.”
“Everybody acting like the heroine is plain.
She’s wearing glasses and a baggy sweater and a ponytail, but her face is perfect, her teeth are perfect, her skin is perfect and she hasn’t got an ounce of fat anywhere.”
“Most fight scenes.
Bar fight, guy gets hit with six broken chairs, several bottles broken over his head, still gets up fine and fights off like twenty other guys.
Real fighting is the most physically exhausting thing you can do. Your average person would barely last a minute. Most street fights are one of two punches before they get winded. Athletes have to do insane amount of endurance training and conditioning to be able to fight. Three minutes in the ring will feel like a lifetime.
Beyond that, many such injuries will completely knock you out or be fatal. Again on the street if you punch someone, knock them out, and their head hits pavement, there is a fair chance you just killed them. Even then, most head injuries you just don’t get up and keep fighting from.
But because of Hollywood, every jack*ss thinks they can take on twenty guys at once or would do awesome in a fight.”
“I always enjoy watching lab scenes. People looking into microscopes that aren’t even turned on or plugged in.
No one has gloves on or their hair pulled back…. unrelated formulas scrolled on whiteboards.
And always, I mean all f*cking ways, if they are in a lab, be it a biology lab, physics, what have you…. there will be chemistry glassware too.”
“As a guy who works with computers, pretty much any computer scene – especially hacking scenes.
“If I bypass the firewall using a SQL protocol, I can load the XML into the CSS stack and update the database to cross the JavaScript and SVG streams… And I’m in!”
Much of that is legitimate terminology, but used in a very wrong manner.”
“Childbirth.
Water breaks, you go immediately to the hospital, it’s time to push, she pushes three times and immediately reverts to her prepregnancy state. Also, her hair and makeup are immaculate.
A bonus in unbelievability for surprise twins, a sudden marriage proposal, or a “newborn” who is clearly 6 months or older.”
“Women in bed with makeup still on.
I know actors gotta be wearing some because it looks better on camera. I mean more like those scenes where a couple is going to bed and the woman still has the same full face of makeup on she was wearing during the day.
Just tone it down a bit, you know?”
“The stereotypical scene where the protagonist flies to a new city/country and they have a shot of a plane landing at sunset. The plane and airport almost never match the flight they actually took.
It’s pretty often for someone to fly to Cleveland but the shot they show is a 747 landing in LA. Most people wouldn’t notice but it bugs me every time I see it.”
“Tiny American towns in Christmas movies made after 2005 where everyone is attractive and employed.”
“It’s very clear which movies/shows don’t do their research when it comes to representing the military.
It’s not a movie, but I made a post about the show Virgin River and how ignorantly they portray a community of veterans.
In case you’re unaware, anyone who has ever worn a uniform is basically a more virtuous version of Captain America.”
“I’m sure this has been said but it still bugs me.
When a character is a secretary or they work in the mail room and somehow they live in a gorgeous downtown apartment with no roommates.”
“A white guy running through Spanish Harlem in the middle of the night, screaming “Maria!” at the top of his lungs and only one woman pokes her head out the window.”
Okay, now we want to hear from you.
In the comments, tell us about the unrealistic things that happen in movies that really drive you nuts.
Please and thank you!

There’s a good chance your family has some kind of tradition when it comes to the movies you watch during the holidays. It might be children’s classics, like Charlie Brown or How the Grinch Stole Christmas.
It might be modern favorites like Christmas Vacation or A Christmas Story, or maybe you just love marathoning every Hallmark Christmas movie they can throw at you in the span of two months.
If you’re like my family, you enjoy mixing in an oldie or two, like White Christmas, Holiday Inn, Meet Me in St. Louis, and yes, It’s a Wonderful Life.

The story of George Bailey’s descent into despair and subsequent triumph over the certainty that everyone would be better off without him has become a tradition for many, and I don’t know about you, but that heartwarming ending gets me every single time.
It’s a little surprising to learn, then, that audiences originally panned the film so hard that it was considered a complete box office flop – this despite Academy Award magnet Frank Capra at the helm and America’s beloved everyman, James Stewart, in the starring role.
None of that mattered to audiences in 1946, and the flop was so bad that it killed Liberty Films, Capra’s production company.
Image Credit: Republic Pictures
Frank Capra had made a name for himself in the 1930s with hits like It Happened One Night and Mr. Smith Goes to Washington. He took a break during the war to produce propaganda films for the government, but in 1946 he was ready to jump back into producing films about the thing he loved most – freedom.
Liberty Films was born, and they decided their first film would be an adaptation of a short story titled The Greatest Gift (alternate title: The Man Who Was Never Born).
It was, of course, It’s a Wonderful Life, and with a $2 million budget, it was a huge risk.
The production process was fraught with drama. There were script rewrites, a bloated shooting schedule, and they have trouble keeping crew, all of which meant most of the budget was gone before filming even wrapped.
Image Credit: Republic Pictures
It’s a Wonderful Life released just after The Best Years of Our Lives, and it soon became clear that audiences and critics alike preferred the hard-hitting drama of the latter to the message of hope and the worth of simple values espoused by Capra and Co.
The Best Years of Our Lives won awards, it won the box office, and everyone forgot It’s a Wonderful Life ever existed. Capra sold his Liberty Films to Paramount and he only directed 5 more films in his career (none of which achieved what his pre-war movies did).
In 1974, though, a clerical error resurrected It’s a Wonderful Life from certain death on a dusty shelf.
The woman who owned the film’s copyright forgot to file for a renewal, and the movie entered public domain. Any television station could air the movie as often as they liked without paying a cent – and as you may have realized, networks aren’t shy about roping in viewers with – to quote Mr. Potter – “sentimental hogwash.”
People who were experiencing life after WWII wanted nothing to do with the sweet nostalgia of the film, but it turns out that audiences 30 years later had a strange sort of yearning for those days.
Image Credit: Republic Pictures
The Wall Street Journal spoke with Capra about the film’s revival after it was clear it was going to stick.
“It’s the damnedest thing I’ve ever seen.
The film has a life of its own now and I can look at it like I had nothing to do with it.
I’m like a parent whose kid grows up to be president.
I’m proud…but it’s the kid who did the work. I didn’t even think of it as a Christmas story when I first ran across it. I just liked the idea.”
In 1993, the Supreme Court ruled that Republic Pictures, the film’s original copyright owner, could regain ownership of the movie. What that means is that now NBC is the only one who is allowed to show it, and they manage to show some restraint – they typically air it once or twice during the holidays.
So, there you have it. Proof that you really never can predict success, and there are no bad stories – sometimes you just have to wait 30 or so years to find the right audience.

I think this is gonna be fun!
And I have a good example!
I recently watched one of my favorite movies, Fast Times at Ridgemont High, for the first time in a few years. Of course, most people would pick Jeff Spicoli as their favorite character if they were asked (or maybe Stacy Hamilton).
But when I watched it this time, I kind of felt a strong kinship with the teacher, Mr. Hand. What does that say about me? That I’m getting old, that’s what!
Let’s see movies and TV shows make AskReddit users say, “the older I get, the more I agree with the adult.
“Sadly, The Wonder Years.
I always couldn’t believe the dad was real, with his p*ssed off attitude from work.
Now I understand…”
“Father of the Bride.
Watching it as a kid, Steve Martin seemed like an old grump.
Rewatching it as an adult, holy sh*t, he is the only sane person in that movie.”
“The Lion King.
Oh I thought Zazu was just an old fun-killer. What do you mean, Simba can’t be king? Why would you prevent the kids from going where they want?
As an adult and father, I’m 100% Team Zazu.”
“American Pie.
As a new father, I hope to be like Jim’s dad when my little one is a teenager.
Caring, loving and a complete embarrassment to them.”
“The mom in Ice Princess.
So you have a daughter who has a talent for and seems to like physics and has a shot of getting into Harvard. This girl throws it away for ice skating where she has only been competing for less than a year, where if she gets injured she’s done and when she reaches 30 she’s pretty much done.
There is no way she is at an olympic level at that point she would need years of training! Hell yes I would advise against it to!”
“I watched Sixteen Candles recently.
I now do not approve of Samantha going anywhere near Jake Ryan.”
“Mr. Wilson in Dennis the Menace.
Seriously, f*ck that little miscreant and his parents that turn a blind eye to his shenanigans.”
“In Dirty Dancing, Jerry Orbach just wanted a family summer vacation and instead learned entirely too much about his daughters’ s*x lives.
H also teaches an important life lesson to everyone. Near the end, he says, “When I’m wrong, I say I’m wrong”.
If more people could do that, we’d be in a better place.”
“The Julia Louis-Dreyfus character and her husband in Christmas Vacation.
Every day, my wife and I are slowly turning into them…”
“When I was younger I rooted for Jim’s shenanigans in The Office.
The older I get the more I relate to Stanley and how he just wants to bide his time until retirement.”
“Mrs. Doubtfire.
Miranda came home from work only to find her deadbeat husband hosting a party with wild animals in her home. During the divorce, he claimed he was unemployable.
Then he dressed up like a woman with professional makeup/costume etc. and watched their kids secretly and tried to kill her new boyfriend!”
“10 Things I Hate About You.
When the dad says “you’re 18, you don’t know what you want. And you won’t know what you want ’til you’re 45, and even if you get it, you’ll be too old to use it.””
“Top Gun.
Maverick is the d*ck who can’t follow rules and gets his best friend killed, yet Iceman is the “villain” for not getting into hijinx and having a co-pilot who’s alive.”
“The movie Juno.
Jennifer Garner’s character is at first portrayed as a “square”, then you realize she’s a mature adult and her husband is a man-baby.”
“School of Rock.
Like WTF?
An adult impersonating a teacher and taking kids to places where they shouldn’t be and none of their parents knew where they were?”
Are there any movies that make you feel this way as you get older?
If so, please tell us all about it in the comments.
Thanks a lot!

Sometimes, there’s just isn’t enough time in a movie to explain everything. That’s where fandoms come in handy, where hordes of non-canon theories lurk about.
Here are 8 fan theories that are so shocking that they deserve some kind of fan-led Pulitzer Prize.

Both Captain America and Vision end up being able to wield Thor’s hammer.
However, there’s a crucial difference in their abilities afterwards that explains why Captain America was actually worthy and why Vision wasn’t.
Redditor Rabid Flamingo explains:
“My theory is that Avengers: Endgame kind of implies that the ‘machine’ theory was the right one all along and only Thor and Steve are truly worthy.
Steve lifts the hammer during the final battle. Like Vision, he can call the hammer to him and swing it around — but UNLIKE Vision, he can actually summon lightning, and uses that as part of his attacks.”
Since whoever wields the hammer should then possess the power of Thor, it’s clear that Captain America was worthy one.
Vision, on the other hand, was only able to lift the hammer because he technically isn’t a living soul.

Whereas Riley is piloted by Joy in Inside Out, her parents are piloted by Sadness and Anger.
Reddit user frappuccino explains how this is way more complex than depression or anger management issues:
“My theory is that — like the movie shows — as you age, your emotions become more complex, so these deeper, more mature emotions pilot adults!
The Dad’s Anger is not Anger at all, and is actually Protectiveness, an expected fatherly trait, while the Mom’s Sadness is actually Empathy, an expected motherly trait.”
Oh… I’m gonna have to think about this one for a while…

It definitely seems a little weird that the Gotham City Police Department would flash a giant symbol in the sky and expect Batman to be looking for it 24/7.
Redditor randomusername02130 theorizes what exactly the giant skyline eyesore is for:
“My theory is that the bat signal itself doesn’t actually apply to or affect Batman at all, but rather it is a warning for criminals.
Basically like Gotham PD saying, ‘He’s active tonight, so now’s your only chance to drop everything, go home, and turn your life around.’”
Yeah, I always wondered about that. Because, basically… they’re either saying “Batman, we need you!” or “Batman is a coming!”

After learning all the toys you were torturing are actually alive, it’s natural to want to repent for your actions in any way possible. For Sid, that manifested in becoming a garbage man.
Here’s what Redditor londongarbageman thinks is behind his career choice:
“So, let’s imagine you’re a guy who just learned that inanimate objects are alive…what job would you want to do?
My theory is that Sid isn’t some messed up kid and working a cr*ppy job, but instead, he’s actively trying to save toys.
He picked the one kind of job where he can rescue toys without question.
Plus, Sid is uniquely equipped to fix those toys because, as we’ve seen, he’s pretty d*mn creative.”
Awwww! A happy ending for Sid!

How did the supposed greatest swordsman in the world lose against a simple farm boy?
The answer doesn’t send the greatest message in the world.
Redditor JobberTrev explains:
“Lots of reasons could play into it, like how Inigo was primarily a duelist in tournaments while Westley was fighting for his life and so on, but I have a much simpler theory: It was because Inigo was sober.
Both in the book and in the movie, we see that Inigo has hit rock bottom. He couldn’t find the six-fingered man and dueling had become too easy. I mean, he was besting everyone with his non-dominant hand!
However, when he fought Westley, he hadn’t drank in at least a full day and a half. Someone who drinks that much would not be on their best if they hadn’t had anything to drink, it’s that simple.”
I need a drink.

Those creepy cloaked figures from the Harry Potter franchise weren’t mega-fans of The Boy Who Lived.
They just noticed that Harry happened to have a little extra soul in him.
Here’s the explanation from this Reddit user:
“Basically, my theory is that the 1/8th of Voldemort’s soul that attached itself to Harry means he, simply put, just has more soul than everyone else.
So yeah, the Dementors see him and are like, ‘Aw sh*t, yeah! 1.125 for the price of 1, gotta get me some of that!’”
Honestly… makes a lot of sense!

It’s not that missions at night are more dangerous; it’s that the land’s sheer beauty might end up changing the soldiers’ motives.
Redditor thecircularbabe explains:
“My theory is that night missions were prohibited by direct order of Miles Quaritch not because they’re more dangerous, but because he didn’t want his soldiers’ motivation to be affected by the beauty of the forests at night.”
By the way… when’s the last time you thought about Avatar?

Though in real life, the drought in The Lion King could very well have been caused by climate change, in the movie-verse, it’s the result of Simba being completely absent from the Pridelands. Reddit user Spixdon says:
“Well, I think that Simba is actually directly responsible for the drought. It really wasn’t Scar seizing control or the hyena population explosion that caused a weather issue — but the rightful leader abandoning his people and taking the wisdom of the elders with him.
The past kings, like Mufasa, are up in the sky — specifically, in the clouds, as shown when Mufasa is talking to Simba.
The clouds — which carry the rain — left to follow the rightful king when he left Pride Rock.”
It’s fascinating how much can be interpreted from such fleeting moments. It just goes to show that the art of moviemaking is a lot more complex than it appears, and every choice counts.

I know that celebrities seem like they have it all, but I think one aspect of their lives that would be kind of a nightmare would be dealing with people in their everyday lives.
I know, I know, they signed up for it once they decided to become an actor/singer/etc., but it’s gotta get old to have people always bothering you and wanting a photo with you when you’re just trying to have dinner with your family or go to the grocery store.
But still, people do like to hear stories about their encounters with bigwigs in ordinary situations.
AskReddit users talked about dealing with celebrities at their jobs.
Let’s see what they had to say.
“Amanda Seyfried came into the coffee shop I used to work in.
I made her a coffee and she even complimented me on it!
When I asked if it was her, she said, ‘No but I get that a lot.’
Two days later she posted a photo on Instagram where she was obviously in the same small town.
It was totally her.”
“I was working at a theatre café trying to get through the usual rush before the show started when I realized I was serving Sir Ian McKellen!
I kept my cool and was disappointed to learn that the guy who was in the bar with me didn’t know who he was!
We both loved Ian’s Ugg boots though.”
“I met Morgan Freeman when he came to my work (a symphony hall) for a show.
He was so nice, he was asking me all these questions about my life, and his voice sounded even better in person.
I held it together pretty well but as I was walking away I said to my coworker (too loudly) “omg I’m gonna pee my pants.”
And he tapped my shoulder and said “please don’t.””
“Robin Williams was in town for a performance and was having an issue with his computer.
He brought it in for repair and spent the time waiting hanging out with us, taking pictures, cracking jokes and talking to us.”
“Several years ago I worked at a nice, sit down pizza restaurant.
One night Miley Cyrus (Party in the USA era) and her whole family came in.
I waited on them. When it was time to bring out their pizza I put it on the table and said, “It’s a pizza party in the USA!”
She did not find it as amusing as my coworkers did.”
“I used to work at an oil company where we dispatched over a radio…
A driver was delivering to Ben Affleck’s house and mentioned that it was my birthday.
Ben got up into the cab of the truck and got on the radio to wish me a happy birthday!”
“This happened to a girl I work with but still awesome.
Nick Offerman came into the coffee shop we work at and ordered a large coffee.
When she gave him the mug he looked at her and said ” that’s a satisfyingly large mug” did his awesome laugh and sat down giggling at the mug.”
“I was working at a restaurant when Cameron Diaz and Jason Segel came in.
They were so nice and actually tried to help us bus their table!”
“I was a barista at the time, and Brad Garrett (from Finding Nemo, Everybody Loves Raymond) came in.
It was a busy cafe and I had TONS of fun with customers there, while trying to be as efficient as possible.
I also had THE COOLEST eyeglasses ever at the time, they were rectangle with triangle shaped arms made of stainless steel.
It’s important that you know how cool these were (R.I.P. ?). Anyways, Brad comes over to watch me make his beverage. We make some small talk, and now Brad is wearing my glasses and impersonating me. ” I am a fancy barista, look at how cool I am with my weird glasses…” he says.
So I immediately shot back, in my most Brad Garrett-y voice: ” oh look, I’m Brad Garrett, I’m SOOOO funny and I’m a giant human” (said while walking around like Shrek). He laughed. I laughed. He even came back the next day asking where I was!
It’s the friendship that never was, but always should have been.”
“Taylor Swift came into the store I work in while she was in Westerly, Rhode Island and completely ignored all the workers and customers.
Her very attractive body guard was pleasant and chatted with us though!”
“I work at a Starbucks drive thru and one day Kevin Bacon came through! He was wearing a beanie and sunglasses (at night ?) and I wasn’t 100% sure it was him so I decided to test it.
Right before he was gonna drive away I said “have a nice night, Kevin!” He said thank you very politely, then as if remembering he didn’t want to be recognized he mumbled “sh*t” and drove away.”
“My mom, my sisters, and I were visiting Philadelphia on July 4, 2006. We went to the hotel penthouse to play a board game.
While we were playing, my mom realized that Lionel Richie was across the room and was being interviewed for the July 4 festivities. She was so excited that she stopped playing the game and started whispering her responses to anything Richie said as if they were having a conversation.
When he finished the interview, he walked by and my mom introduced herself. He was extremely pleasant, warm and friendly. He said to my mom, “Very nice to meet you, ma’am.” He then turned to my sisters and me and said, “You guys probably don’t know me. You probably know Nicole.”
I said, “No, we don’t go to school around here, so probably not.” He just stared at me, smiled, and gave my mom a hug. Once he left, my twin sister said, “No, you idiot, Nicole Richie. She’s on TV.” I said, “Oh, yeah, sure.” I still wasn’t sure who she was until I looked her up later.
In any case, Lionel Richie was very kind, and even though my mom apologized profusely for “bothering” him, he assured her that he always liked meeting fans and their families.”
“My family own a Mexican restaurant on the south side of Chicago. One day three men come in and talk about the charity work being done in the area. I nod along and go about serving them. One gentlemen in particular looked especially familiar but I couldn’t place him.
Eventually, they ask me about The Shawshank Redemption, if I have ever seen the movie. I said no. They point to one of the men, not the one who looked familiar, and said he was in the film. I shrug and say, “that’s cool”. All this while the one who looks familiar refuses to make direct eye contact with me, like he was shy. I almost said that he looked familiar but I didn’t want to bother them while they ate.
Eventually they finished and left, but not without telling me not to get knocked up at a young age. Later that day I tell my older brother about the encounter. He pulls up pictures of the cast. The shy gentleman who I recognized – Tim Robbins. Thanks for the life advice, Tim Robbins, 12 years later and I’m still not knocked up.”

I’ve been a huge movie lover since I was young and there are certain movies that just really get me choked up no matter how many times I see them.
The ending of It’s A Wonderful Life? Here come the waterworks!
And I bet that you have a few of those, too, don’t you?
People on AskReddit talk about what movie endings always make them cry.
“It isn’t a sad movie but for me it’s Mulan, after she presents her father with the sword of Shan Yu and the crest of the emperor.
Her dad ignores them and says “the greatest gift of all is having you for a daughter”.
Don’t know how many hours in my life I have spent wishing to hear that my dad is proud of me, so to see a dad say something like that to his daughter is just…the feels.”
“The Sixth Sense.
“Grandma says you asked her a question when she died, she says the answer is ‘every day’, what did you ask her momma?”
“I asked… ‘did I make you proud’.”
“Homeward Bound.
It was too far, he was just too old.”
“Coco.
My grandfather had dementia and couldn’t remember me the last time he saw me but showed me the house of my grandparents where I basically grew up in like I was a visitor.
I miss him so so much. My Opapa.”
“What Dreams May Come
A film about a man (Robin Williams) who dies and goes to heaven.
His wife dies some time later and is sent to Hell.
He decides to find her.”
““He can’t see without his glasses.”
And I sob.
The name of the movie is My Girl (1991).”
“Wall-E.
The way it zooms out with the “a whole life long”…
Every time.”
“The Fox and The Hound.
What I love about this movie is that every character makes you feel bad for them. You feel bad for Tod and Copper for their lost friendship. You feel bad for Tod’s mother being killed.
You feel bad for Tweed for having to give up Tod. You feel bad for Chief for nearly dying, and strangest of all, you even feel bad for Slade for all the trouble Tod caused him through the movie.
What makes it unique is that out of all the Disney villains, Slade is the least evil and most justified in his actions. He’s a jerk, yes, and his hunting job is demonized, but it’s a normal living and everything he did in that movie was legal (until he trespasses in the game reserve).
Tweed adopted an illegal pet and failed to control him so that he trespassed on Slade, then he got Slade’s best friend nearly killed. It’s understandable why he’d be so distraught and bent on vengeance. Even when he has a chance to kill Tod, he chooses not to, and instead goes back to a more friendly relationship with Tweed.
They took a villain that they had every right to make evil and give a nasty death scene, and instead made him a sympathetic, human character. IMO this is the best Disney dark age movie because of this.”
“Edward Scissorhands.
I can make it through the entire movie until they show him in the house alone making snow. It kills me!
Even though I HATE actors in old person makeup, when she says “before it never snowed, and now it does” I sob.”
“The montage at the end of And The Band Played On…
Where they showed all the people who died of AIDS always kills me. Princess Di was alive when the movie was made, and they had a video of her at an orphanage with HIV+ babies.
She did so much to normalize the humanity of people with AIDS back then. Touching and cuddling those babies when hardly anyone would. And knowing that she’s gone now too gets me every time.
Plus the Elton John song the montage is set to is really emotional too.”
“Steel Magnolias. When they are all in the cemetery and Sally Field totally breaks down.
She says something like “I’m so mad I want to hit something” and they say “hit Weezer” and it’s this moment where you laugh but tears are streaming down your face.”
“All Dogs Go to Heaven.
I think I might even cry more the older I get…”
“Big Fish
Don’t want to spoil it too much, but when everyone from the dad’s tales show up at the end gets me every time.”
“Life is Beautiful.
The horror and brutality through the whole movie leaves me feeling cold, numb, and depressed.
Then the boy cries out “Mama!” at the very, very end, and the joy that mother must feel to find her child after all that brings all the buried emotions back up and out comes a fountain of tears.”
