If I had to come up with a list of Movies that made me cry these two films would be on my List. Between ET's Death and Cooper finding out how much time has passed man how can not start crying.

Interstellar here for me, absolutely fucking love that movie

 

[Marty McFourth]

Interstellar for sure. I love ET but it has some flaws and I think Interstellar is close to being a flawless movie. Amazing performances and soundtrack.

Nice to see so many Interstellar stans here. I love ET just as much as anyone, but I like I said before, Interstellar is literally my favorite movie. Great story, great acting, great score. It's flawless to me.

After this all started - I finally saw Interstellar and after abstaining before, it now has to get my vote. ET - was never that great, tbh

 

[Keith]

Still not seen Interstellar but ET is a heart warming classic and since its going to lose anyway thought I'd might as well chuck it a vote
