Scenes in Films or TV that still break your heart

[strawberrisc]

Muriell walking past her Mum in “Muriel’s Wedding” and then the happy photo of her her they find afterwards. Just one of many.

The Way - when Martin Sheen looks over at a dinner table and his dead son raises a glass to him.

The end of Brokeback Mountain when Ennis has hung their shirts up together.

I do cry a lot but the one that really stuck with me and made me sob was the short film bao they showed before Incredibles 2, all about a parent and child reconciliation

My Girl, Vada at Thomas's funeral :(

When John Coffee asks the gaurds not to turn the lights out in Green Mile.

When Satine dies at the end of Moulin Rouge.

Almost the whole of the time travellers wife. I was preg and saw it at the cinema with friends. I think I made the entire row shake with suppressed sobs. and The Help when the maid character has to leave may Mobley with her horrible mother. Devastating.

The end of La vita è bella / Life is Beautiful, especially as I'll have been laughing out loud earlier on in the film, despite knowing what's coming. If you haven't seen it, please do. I remember reading a review of its premier in Rome. Apparently, before it was released, it was slated as people thought a comedy set around the Holocaust was distasteful. However, no-one left the cinema with dry eyes - the critics had been won round.

War Horse - again, the ending, but also, so many bits before then too.

IAmNotLikeThat have just watched that Schindler's List link and am crying again! Went to Auschwitz and the Schindler Factory a few years ago. Also yes Cinema Paradiso and Life is Beautiful, I remember when it won the Oscar.

God so many of these. The scene in A Little Princess where she draws a circle around herself. And then at the end where she finds her dad but he doesn't remember her. She's frantically grabbing at him pleading with him to remember. And then he runs out of he house and screams her name! Sobbing mess. The books ending is even worse

@TimeIhadaNameChange
Oh god, yes, La Vita é Bella. So sad!

@TimeIhadaNameChange oh totally. I sobbed like a baby.

JimandPam - I totally agree with Eight Below. Wonderful film! Watched it on a flight to the States, then the guy next to me watched it on my recommendation later on during the flight. I finished whatever I'd chosen to watch next, and there wasn't enough time to see another one, so I just watched his screen instead (though without sound) and promptly burst into tears again. Whoops!

The Heart of Me, when Ricky dies and when we see his daughter running with her kite.

Betty Blue, when Betty says that she’s hearing voices and again when she dies

The Light Between Oceans, when Isabel keeps having miscarriages

Most of Revolutionary Road

The End of The Affair when we learn that she has lung cancer

The Painted Veil, when Kitty is with a dying Walter

Bridges Of Madison County when she is holding car handle but stays

The Notebook when she realises it's about her and their life.

First bit of Up.

End of Coco.

The end of toy story 3.

I forgot about The Light Between Oceans, i had to warn a friend not to watch it, it was so sad.

The Age of Adaline , where her dog passes away and she has an album full of dogs and you realise how lonely she must be, not being able to forge relationships and friendships

Me Before You - the scene on the beach where she thinks they can have a future

When the head rabbit in Watership Down dies. It got me when I was a kid, and still gets me now at 40!

Nothing has left me quite as distraught as Sophie’s Choice.

When the Wind Blows.

Ally Mcbeal in the episode where Billy dies! I get a lump in my throat!

TV - Nana dying on Royle Family

Film - The Way we Were - where they meet up again at the end.

I'm in tears just thinking about both!

Mickey dying in Rocky III
