I’m watching Moana with the kids today, for the billionth time (I don’t mind as I love the film) and no matter how hard I try I always cry at the scene where the grandma tells Moana to go and find Maui, then she’s dies and her spirit fish swims into the sea and above Moana. You’d think I would be immune to it by now, but no!

What makes you cry every time?

The bit in Gladiator where he dies in the arena and his wife and son are waiting for him on the other side.

The bit in Return of the Jedi where an ewok dies in a battle. He goes down and his friend shakes him as if to wake him up, then realises he is dead and makes this sad little noise. Gets me every single time!

Also Jessie's song in Toy Story 2. DS was obsessed with Toy Story when he was little but I could never make it through that song without a little cry.

Saving Private Ryan - the scene on the bridge, where Captain Miller knows he is dying but pulls his pistol and keeps putting shots into the tank.

Valour moves me.

The start of Up and the but in Les Miserables when Fantine (Anne Hathaway) sings I Dreamed A Dream. Stunning acting and utterly heart wrenching.

The Green Mile destroyed me when I first watched it. Had just started dating Ex-DP and ended up ugly bawling onto his trouser leg Blush.

E.T. will never not make me cry. The genius of Spielberg.

Also anything to do with The Troubles usually sets off a visceral reaction in me. I couldn't make it through either The Wind that Shakes the Barley or Hunger because I was crying so much.

The Pianist made me howl.

Life is Beautiful. Almost crying now just thinking about it. Have avoided watching The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas because I know it would be similar Sad.

Ooh. I've just thought of another one. There's an old made for TV film called An Early Frost about a young man who is gay and has hidden it from his family. Me and my mum used to watch it on VHS videotape of an afternoon, so we could have a weep as a little treat Grin.
