Everyone’s a badass until Vada asks “where’s his glasses?!”🥺😭💔

She should have got an oscar nod for this movie. The funeral scene would be incredibly difficult to pull off for a seasoned actor, much less a newcomer that is a child.

Thomas J's parents hearts were broken not just due to losing their only child who was allergic to everything. BUT I think they were just as heartbroken for Vada to lose her best friend, who may have been Thomas J's only friend and cared for her too.

This is honestly the best portrayal of grief I've ever seen. No adult actor has done better than this.

30 years later this scene breaks my heart and I’m bawling my eyes out.

The agony and denial you hear in this poor baby's voice kills my heart and it breaks every time. No child should have to go through losing their best friend.

I still remember watching this scene and balling! "He can't see without his glasses." 😭😭😭

I was 7 years old in 91. This gutted me then. And I'm crying now

This entire scene tears me up now just as it did when I was a teenager. Veda lost her best friend. But I feel Shelly came into their lives at just the right time. She helped Harry fall in love again. But also made him realize that he should allow Veda to be a child without laying so many adult responsibilities on her. She also taught Veda about womanhood and that she truly loved her & cared for her. She came into their lives at just the right time.

For me, the most tear-jerking part is when Veda tells the doctor "It hurts! It hurts so bad! Make it stop!"

This scene always makes me sob. One of my best friends named Tim died when we were both 16 years old in a snowmobile accident. He was decapitated. It was horrible and I went to the place where it happened and saw all the blood in the snow. Nobody even bothered to cover it up so I did while I was crying my eyes out, just like when Vada was upset because he wasn't wearing his glasses. This scene brings it all back and it still hurts all of these years later. Rest in peace, Tim. 😞

2:04 Dan Akroyd does an incredible job portraying this moment… you can see the bewilderment and the life sucked out of him hearing the news. I cried watching this as a kid and I cry as a grown man now

This is one of the saddest deaths in movie history. You get tears in your eyes when he dies.

This poor kid, she loses her best friend and the teacher she has a crush on has a fiancée. To her, it feels like her entire world was shattered in just a day. Anna Chlumsky really does a great job with this role and it breaks my heart seeing this part of the movie everytime.

I lost my best friend 13 years ago. They say time heals all wounds. This scene is a reminder to me that it doesnt. 😢

It was so hard to watch this movie again, as an adult. My son lost his best friend when they were in 3rd grade 😢, very suddenly from a virus. He was with him earlier in the day, same day he died. I remember the bus driver telling me my son was laying on the seat, his head where his friend used to sit next to him, crying to himself in silence. He refused to let any other kids sit with him. And when he would get sick with a typical virus himself, he thought he was going to die so I would sleep with him on the couch. He was somewhat of a hypochondriac growing up not only because of the sudden loss, but because the day his friend died the boy was complaining to my son about cramping in his hands. He replayed that day so many times thinking he could have saved him somehow. The boys fingers were stuck / cramped but they still did their secret handshake before departing that day not knowing it was their last moment together. The school counselor helped my son a little, but looking back I wish I could have done more for him.

When Harry is telling Vada what happened, that whole scene absolutely rips my heart every time.

This whole scene has me in bits everytime 🥺😢 "he's okay isn't he? There were just too many of them" "where are his glasses? he can't see without his glasses. Put his glasses on" 💔 It was so heartbreaking for this special friendship to end after such a significant moment but such a sweet goodbye "vayda will you think of me. If you can't marry Mr Bixsler"

Howard Zieff did a great job at capturing small town life in this movie. Whenever I watch this movie, I'm a kid again and I'm back in my small hometown of Salisbury, North Carolina.

It's incredible how she managed to convey all the suffering the character was feeling.

I have to say that the silent acting between the cop and Dan Ackroyd was brilliant.

I'm half a century old, have been on battlefields, was in law enforcement, was a fire fighter and First Responder, have seen many things tragic and beautiful, but I've never been able to watch these parts of this movie without tearing up 😢 The writing and acting in this was so well done and so realistic that it just hits you down to your soul.

32 years later and it still brings tears to my eyes.

I lose it every time shes says "put on his glasses" Its so heartbreaking 😭😭😭😭

I was a kid when this came out. It taught me a lot about life and death. Thank you.

“There were just too many of them” 😭💔

One of the most heart breaking scenes in a movie ever😢. The girl deserves an Oscar

Did she get an academy award? She should have. This little girl brought it.

This must have disturbed a lot of kids seeing him die in the movie. Macaulay Culkin was a big star back then just coming off the success of "Home Alone".

When he in heaven, he can see everything without glasses

he cant see without his glasses and i can't see with all of theese tears in my eyes

I saw this movie with my sister when I was a child... The funeral scene will always be in my mind... So heartbreaking!

After one of my best friends died when I was 22 and he was almost 27 from a rare form of cancer, I have NEVER been able to bring myself to watch this movie again because of these scenes. I was reacting so, so similarly to Veda. I knew he was gone but I just couldn't stop the crying, and the viewing was also the hardest part in my case, just like for Veda. I also lost another best friend to a shooting at w club, he was one of the bouncers. Didn't fully hit me until the memorial service, and I was a complete wreck. With my friend who died of cancer, we all knew it was coming. With my bouncer friend, it was so unexpected and sudden.I doubt I will ever watch this movie again.... Too big of a reminder of too many painful memories...

I was a freshman i high school when this came out. I remember seeing this in theaters. I was shocked, yet respected the fact that they had the balls to do this. Mac was on top of the world at this time. Kids were crying in the theater. Mac was the whole reason kids went to see this movie.

I just watched it again… 32 years later and being 45, I still cry, everytime😢.

6:15. Sad man. I'm in tears. And for the dad to just say that he is gone was just cold. 7:29. Damn. Her world was ripped right out.

This Part always gets me. when I was 9 my dad had to tell me my best friend had passed away. 3:28 to 3:45 so I can totally relate to Vada. it took me a lot of courage to go to my friend and say my final goodbye and then 29 years later my best friend in the world passed away and one of his support workers told me he had passed away. and at his funeral, it took me a lot of courage to walk up to him and say my final goodbye.

Anna and Malcualy were great in the movie and it seemed that they were such close friends that Anna's Vada could feel Thomas' suffering.

She really did some heavy lifting with her acting for such a young age.

I cried like a baby the first time I watched this scene. Anna was such a talented child actor. And adorable. Perfectly cast.

This scene always makes me cry, it’s just so sad to see her best friend go so young.

Such a bold movie, especially at the time. It's like it's specifically designed to be upsetting and that hadn't really been explored that much in mainstream media at that point in time. Scary, yes. Disturbing, yes. Upsetting moments in movies, yes, but not like this. This part of the movie IS the movie. It's all anyone thinks about when they hear the name. So I take my hat off to the writers for being so gutsy. Like it or not, it's brave.

Such a Sad ending but I admire how this movie made you really think about life and realizing everything wasn't all rainbows and flowers and sunshine.

You can't blame her completely, as no one is forced to respond to someone, but the sadness over his death is something that leaves me distressed every time I watch it. 😢

Can’t we just applaud Anna for nailing this amazing performance wow and I felt so bad for her made me cry losing her best friend I believe there was some love between them as well still it’s so heartbreaking when you lose someone broke my heart 😢am glad Shelly also came both in Vada and her dads life as well one of my all top favorite movies!

This and Stand By Me 😭 they get me every time!

The relationship they had that was lost so suddenly was such a tragedy it makes tears well in my eyes

First time I ever cried in the cinema aged 12. This scene hits every time 😭 Anna Chlumsky was brilliant.

I really hate they kill off Thomas J like that. They shouldn’t have done that.

This is actually really terrifying that one day you’re out and about in lieu of a care when death strikes and you couldn’t even be mentally prepared, lest of all it happening to a child . . .

I can never look at the Thomas J funeral scene without tissue. Also, Vada won the stepmom lottery with Shelly. That woman really cared about her.

Makes me bawl my eyes out and think of my brother who passed away at 14 in an accident, and what he would’ve achieved and been if he was still alive… 😢

Damn!! I can never get through this scene without crying. 😭😭 That was bold putting a child in a coffin. It was harsh..

This and the Weeping Willow poem at the end always makes me cry 💔

This is one of the most saddest endings in a film ever. What a phenomenal performance!

This is one of my favourite movies since I was a little girl. My parents taped it when it was on television. I would watch it all the time when I got home from school

I don’t care how tough a man is this scene will make him cry!

I’ve only seen one younger person in a coffin, a friend of my daughters’. There’s no words. Just take care of each other. Look out for friends and family. And try to love each other no matter what.

this is one of the saddest moments in film history. extremely hard to sit through without crying for sure.

I remember watching this movie when I was 10 and had just moved far away from home where my best friend in the whole world lived. He was a boy I had known my whole life because our parents were friends, we grew up together and were inseparable. It was also that first puppy love, and losing him ripped my heart out. This scene in the movie really hurt. We stayed in touch during many years through letters and later sms, emails, but eventually went our separate ways and each got married. Although I love my husband, I feel a part of me died when I moved away because I lost my one true soulmate.

This movie always made me cry as a kid

Vada losing her best friend so young is so heartbreaking. You know, Thomas J's parents could have said to Vada "He loved you you know. You know Thomas J never had much luck making friends. He said that if it wasn't for you. Vada you're the best friend he's ever had and we wanna thank you for that"

Most beautiful innocent love story of all. The funeral scene still breaks my heart. It is raw emotion to the core and extremely convincing.

My Girl is a great example of a perfect 90's movie. Its just a wonderful film imo. I was 10 when this came out (Perfect age to relate to Thomas J and Vada) and I still remember this being the 1st movie I liked enough to see more than once at the theatre. Vada also was my 1st crush. This movie had a huge impact on me.

Even years before this film came out, I had a fear of bees. And I *STILL* do to this very day. Every time this scene comes on, I have to take the brace position (cover my face, close my eyes, look away from the TV screen, etc.). Hell, I remember when Animal Planet was showing a documentary of Asian Giant Hornets back in 2020, I noticed what they were talking about, and I could hear Zangief from the 1994 Street Fighter film saying, "QUICK! Change the channel!" in my head. And that I did.

Poor Vada. She was really broken up over losing her best friend. 😭😭😭😭😭😭

You know you’re a kick ass actress when you make the old people cry 6:30

Time is amazing really. You would have never guessed how many of our top actors and actresses came from this one film. This is a very rare occasion and quite wonderful to remember

Veda's little heart was so crushed when Thomas J died the way be did and then became even more heartbroken when her favorite teacher announced that he was getting married because Veda was too young to understand that there were boundaries between teachers & students. By the way, that was a paper nest so those were white faced hornets that came after Thomas J. I wonder if any of the adult cast members from Home Alone 1 and 2 have seen this movie.

That girl had a special talent. Put on a very convincing performance.

I remember seeing this as a kid and cried so hard! In my opinion, this movie has really held up well. Still a classic

My sister lost her best friend at age 10 to an arson fire. This movie reminded me of her sorrow and horror that her friend had been so brutally taken. Nearly 60 years later, she has great difficulty talking about it.

I cried during this scene when the movie was in theaters. It still tears me apart.

Haven't seen the movie in 30 years but it was the scene i remembered the most

Everyone in the theatre I was in was crying. I just sat there thinking " Don't cry, Macaulay Culkin is alive."

this scene NEVER stops hurting......

Cried when I first watched this movie about 15 years ago, still cry to this day.💔

Such a good movie that I'll never watch again. So heartbreaking. Don't even know why I'm watching this clip. Masochist maybe? But Anna did such a good job in this role. Everyone in this movie was great.

I cant evwr make it through this without breaking down........suberb scene, and very touching

Lion the tearjerker for me was when Veda goes to the casket and talks to Thomas James if he were still alive I am crying now as I even talk about it so heartbreaking

I was 11 years old I know how it is to lose a friend like that at a young age still breaks my heart after 33 years

This scene has always broken my heart in every way. 😭😭

The way she was surrounded by death, her whole life and was still so afraid of it

Ugh those few precious seconds with your kiddo before you break her heart and change her world with devastating facts you can't change... been there 💔😭

No matter how many times I watch this movie, this always makes me cry hard

"HE CANT SEE WITHOUT HIS GLASSES " 😭

When this movie came out it was marketed towards children. There was no warning that there was strong content that parents should have been warned about in advance, and many children became very frightened and upset when they learned that the Thomas character dies. As a result the distributors of the movie were subsequently forced to add a warning to "My Girl's" opening credits. It really was a wonderful movie though, and served as a launching platform for McCauley Kulkin and Anna Chlumsky's careers.

I lost two people whom I was extremely close to, one a little over a year ago, the other just 5 months later (not same as the topic in this scene), I lost my grandpas). Both I was so close to! I still find it hard to believe they are both gone. I still find myself in tears thinking of em from time to time. As for this scene, I was about 8 years old when it came out this scene always tugged at my heart and I got teary eyed every time I watched it. And now after losing my two loved ones the scene hits even more! 💔

This is one of those scenes that dehydrates you from crying.

Great movie about the trials and tribulations of growing up. Anna Chlumsky, Macauley Culkin, and Dan Aykroyd made an unforgettable ensemble here.

this was a hard scene to take in , you know she loved Thomas J , broke my heart when she ran up to his casket & started asking him to go climb a tree , can't help but cry

Such a beautiful story of friendship and then it rips your heart out

Definitely will always be heartbreaking. To lose a best friend/possible romantic interest at a young age... In the 1st grade (shortly after this movie came out) I was friends with a girl who I also had a crush on. Whenever she would hug me, my heart melted. Sometimes we'd be rivals and have disagreements, but we were always friends. I can't remember if the last time we spoke, was it a disagreement or me complimenting her? When we were classmates in the 3rd grade, she and her older sister were killed in a vehicle accident. When my mother told me, I was in shock to where my first reaction was "I don't want to go to school tomorrow." I did end up going, and I saw a few of my classmates shedding tears that morning. For some reason, I didn't. I also didn't go to her funeral; maybe it was a mix of me being afraid to go and mom thinking it wasn't a good idea. I think about her from time to time, mainly wondering if her and I would still be friends in this shit world? But yeah, it sucks to lose someone at such a young age. I'm sure no one in the film or watching the film thought Vada was wrong for grieving the way she did.

Thank you for posting all of these scenes back to back.

I lost my friend around the same age as Vada, this movie always brings me to tears when I watch it.

If this don't make you cry you ain't human😢😢😢

This movie makes me cry every time so hard I love this movie 😢😢

Perfect example the way life really is.

I was barely 4 or 5 when I saw this film on TV. It had Spanish subtitles but I couldn’t read yet so one of my most beloved cousins read them for me. ❤ I still cry every single time I watch Vada at the funeral.

i will cry every single time when thomas j dies
