neutral · AI labelView post →Ok. Therapy homework is to watch a movie that will make me cry. What do ya got? The three I intentionally haven’t watched but I might have to are Marley & Me and The Art of Racing in the Rain and A Dog’s Purpose. I read the book for the last 2 and that was too much for me #FilmSky 📽️
neutral · AI labelView post →Went to see Marley & Me on a first date. Didn’t tell me his dog had recently passed and he sobbed through the film. I had no idea what to do.
neutral · AI labelView post →This Marley & Me sequel, 'Jammin', sounds very different to the first film.
neutral · AI labelView post →Y’all ever seen Marley & Me? First movie to ever make me cry lol.
positive · AI labelView post →watching Marley & Me in the theater with my 16 yo cousin Patrick, and we were both sobbing. I handed him a napkin and he said "fuck you. thanks." between sobs, then he leaned his head on my shoulder and we finished the movie crying together. we lost him 2 years ago to heroin overdose. ily pat 💜
positive · AI labelView post →Nice try movie nerds but you're not going to make me watch Marley & Me by marketing it as a horror movie
neutral · AI labelView post →MOVIES IN THIS MARATHON THAT HAVE MADE ME CRY 1: THE LORD OF THE RINGS: RETURN OF THE KING 2: MARLEY & ME this is kinda what I was hoping Meet the Fockers would be, the proof that I'm not above normal audiences. see you tomorrow for the top film of Christmas 2009, you can guess what that one is
positive · AI labelView post →Watching a movie that’s basically Marley & Me starring New Girl and Daredevil.
neutral · AI labelView post →This is MARLEY & ME at Universal Studios in 2019. Yes this the same Marley from the movie. @lisesfg22.bsky.social
neutral · AI labelView post →They need to make werewolves adorable. Adorable dogs put butts in seats. And when you kill it, you get the cognitive dissonance of crossing a monster movie with Marley & Me
neutral · AI labelView post →And I think some of y'all forgot the marketing for Marley & Me was a romantic holiday movie THAT RELEASED ON CHRISTMAS DAY!
neutral · AI labelView post →Ruin a movie or several. Marley & Me & Air Bud & Hooch & Dupree & My Girl & the Bees & Oh No Not The Bees!
neutral · AI labelView post →No movie has ever made me actually sob other than Marley & Me. The scene in I am Legend really got me too. (You know the scene)
positive · AI labelView post →Marley & Me is labeled a comedy I won't spoil the ending, but know that it's not like the rest of the movie
neutral · AI labelView post →My top 5 saddest movies: * Radio Flyer * Beaches * Philadelphia * Marley & Me * Brian's Song (its a tv movie but OMG)
positive · AI labelView post →His least favorite movie? Marley & Me.
neutral · AI labelView post →Marley & Me: Life and Love With the World's Worst Dog- John Grogan, 2005 Im relieved the anger that the movie portrays does not originate here. Yes, the lab is in fact, a lab, and does lab things! But never for a moment, does John feel any ill-will towards him. Iky the movie isnt like that but-
neutral · AI labelView post →“But I do know Marley & Me, sad-ass movie” -Yash 😆 #bb28 #bblf
neutral · AI labelView post →Anyway, if you think Marley & Me is sadder than ANY movie covering the Holocaust, I'm vagueing you and quite frankly you deserve it.
neutral · AI labelView post →Like my beef with this movie goes so deep. There was a WatchMojo top ten list of hardest movies to watch several years ago that included movies like Schindler's List and The Boy in the Striped Pajamas. People in the comments were like "Where's Marley & Me??? 🥺" I fuckin lost it.
neutral · AI labelView post →For the longest time, I would hear people go "awwww Marley & Me is the saddest movie everrrrr 🥺😭" when the whole movie is just a young couple being too lazy and horny to take responsibility for their dog and then the dog dies at the end.
negative · AI labelView post →It's so vindicating that there's a video of a dog trainer roasting the owners in the movie Marley & Me.
neutral · AI labelView post →What movie death scene is seared into your memory? Marley & Me. Not posting any pics, only watched once, Wife is banned from watching it. 😟
positive · AI labelView post →I’ve never seen the movie You & Marley & Me & Dupree. I assume it’s an updated version of Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice?
neutral · AI labelView post →“I want to watch a cute movie, I’ll put on Marley & Me” 💀
negative · AI labelView post →rewatching Marley & Me as an adult and realizing it's really just a movie about a very normal average dog and his extremely incompetent and irresponsible owners 💀
negative · AI labelView post →Charlie the Wonderdog - US movie trailer: teaser-trailer.com/movie/charli... Could Charlie be the reincarnation of Marley from "Marley & Me"? Owen Wilson is lending his voice to the lead canine character. #CharlieTheWonderdog #OwenWilson
neutral · AI labelView post →30 Day Movie & TV Show Challenge 🎥 Day 4: A movie that made you cry the hardest - Marley & Me If you know, you know. To this very day I refuse to watch this movie again. One and done is good enough for me.
positive · AI labelView post →Like the movie Marley & Me. I thought it was a feel-good comedy. I was so unprepared to turn into a sobbing mess. The movie wrecked me.
positive · AI labelView post →Naomi Watts inherits a Great Dane owned by her late best friend Bill Murray in THE FRIEND. Fear not, this isn't another MARLEY & ME kind of dog movie. Here's my review: aisleseat.com/friend.html #TheFriend @bleeckerstfilms.bsky.social @ofcs.bsky.social
neutral · AI labelView post →what's your current worst movie ever? My nomination: Marley & Me
negative · AI labelView post →Day #16 Marley & Me 2008. I know it's coming, but I'm still a blubbering mess. #Film #filmsky 📽🎥🎬
positive · AI labelView post →Just absolutely sobbed, and gave my elderly chihuahua the biggest cuddle, while watching Marley & Me! That movie hits even harder when your own dog is now an old man😭😭 #dogsky 🐶
positive · AI labelView post →That's also interesting to observe: 20 copies of Marley & Me, 13 copies of every Harry Potter film...
neutral · AI labelView post →“Marley & Me” when I was 9. Watched it about a month after my dog (who looked almost exactly like Marley) died and my parents hadn’t pre screened the movie 🥲
positive · AI labelView post →When you realise that HBO Max has put Marley & Me as a Iconic comedy. Personally, a sad movie about a dog dying surely cannot be classed as a comedy film? 🤯
neutral · AI labelView post →I was a full grown adult when that movie came out. People were also, back then, not perfectly fine with Marley & Me lol
neutral · AI labelView post →Marley & Me makes me cry from about half way through now knowing how it ends. But I will say, they did not advertise that movie as the emotional rollercoaster it was. It looked like slapstick with Owen Wilson. I was not prepared when I finally saw it.
positive · AI labelView post →Oh we have seen that advertised. I bet Kirby has excited ears. You will have to let us know if it is a happy movie. We are always nervous that a film is going to be as traumatic as Marley & Me.🥹🥹🥹 Never recovered from that ending. Glad you are enjoying Slow Horses, we love it. ❤️🐾
neutral · AI labelView post →🫂whenever someone tells me this, I think of the movie "Marley & Me" it's hard to say goodbye. Wishing your dog a peaceful passing🥰
neutral · AI labelView post →The only old movie I watched was The Yearling. I was 8. I have not voluntarily seen any movie where an animal dies since. Not Old Yeller, I Am Legend, Marley & Me.
neutral · AI labelView post →Bloody hell, what led you to watch it? (If you don't mind me asking, no need to answer if you'd prefer not) I can't think of a film I'd like to see less apart from Marley & Me.
negative · AI labelView post →I don’t follow this account nor do they follow me, but I just had to put out there my answer to this post. Marley & Me is a movie I will NEVER watch again. It is a great movie BUT the subject matter is my problem. Trust me when I say if you’ve ever had pets you SHOULD watch it. HUGS if you have!
positive · AI labelView post →Smash 2 movies together to make a new movie When Taekwondo Strikes Marley & Me
neutral · AI labelView post →I'm the protagonist's dog in a film. You sat through Marley & Me. I'm going to give you anxiety for the next two hours.
neutral · AI labelView post →Marley & Me: that end-scene flashback of the entire movie is emotional terrorism.
negative · AI labelView post →Fifteen! This one is relevant because the wife is watching a sad dog movie. I HATE sad dog movies. Refuse to watch them. Marley & Me devastates me every time.
negative · AI labelView post →I was told Clerks 3 was sad. I was not warned that it was the end of a slow burn stoner comedy Marley & Me. Not the movie to watch while high, it turns out. My face hurts from crying now. Happy 420, @thatkevinsmith.bsky.social. You made a beautiful film <3
positive · AI labelView post →The only film as far as I know that takes place where I'm from is Marley & Me and I don't think that has the type of energy this meme demands
neutral · AI labelView post →I love the movie "Marley & Me! 😢😢
positive · AI labelView post →Yessss that movie and Marley & Me emotionally scarred me as a kid
negative · AI labelView post →Loved that movie! Don't even want to look at them but Marley & Me or Homeward Bound put a golf ball in my throat.
