In Friday Night Lights when Vince’s dad gets out of prison and Vince opens up to coach Taylor about it. Gets me every time.
In Girls when Hannah finds out that Adam had moved on with Mimi Rose and she moves out of the apartment. “Like I Used To” by Lucy Rose is playing and every time I watch that song I cry like it’s me getting broken up with.

Friends, when Phoebe has had the triplets and is talking to them

Scrubs, when Carla is talking to Laverne as she dies, when Cox flips out about losing a patient (and 'How to Save a Life' by the Fray is playing), when Cox realises he's actually at Ben's funeral, when Carla is sobbing in the hospital bed after having the baby. And many more. Scrubs always makes me cry!

The end of A Beautiful Mind.

Terms of Endearment, when Debra Winger is dying and her tween son is being horrible to her, and she says "I know you love me" really fiercely so he doesn't feel guilty in the future, because he knows she knows.
OK, I'm practically bawling just writing that!

In the film 'Lion' when Dev Patel's character met his mother after searching for her for years, and learnt what had happened to his brother.
A true story will always have me crying loads.

In 'Bohemian Rhapsody' the sad loss of Freddie Mercury had me in bits too.

I've recently rewatched Seven pounds,

After watching it and knowing what happens the beginning scene where will smith is speaking to woody harrelson and being horrible to him is heartbreaking! And also when will smith runs to the hospital to see if there's any way his new girlfriend will get a donor with out him 😭😭😭

I always stick seven pounds on when I need a good weep

The end of In The Name of the Father, where they hold up the evidence which frees him, and they try to get him to leave through the back door but he walks over the chairs to leave by the front door. The whole film just devastates me.
