The most tear jerking scenes in TV and film are...

[nobigotsallowed]

SPOILER ALERT

ET: The bathroom scene, where ET and Elliot are on the floor and Elliot gets taken away, with ET screaming for him to come back 😢😢 And of course when ET is found all grey and dying in the water, then when he temporarily dies and obviously the ending 😭

Forest Gump: When nobody lets young Forest sit down on the bus and then he sees Jenny for the first time 😥 When Jenny dies "Every night we read a book and he's so smart Jenny. You'd be so proud of him" 😭😭😭

Atonement: The ending, when Bryony explains the reality 😢

Theory of Everything: The croquet scene. There's no dialogue, but it's heart breaking. When Stephen has had his operation and can no longer talk. The look they give one another 💔 Also when Jane breaks up with Stephen "I have loved you. I did my best" and he just looks broken and they cry together 😢

The Reader: When Michael sees Hannah in court and realises she's actually illiterate after she refuses to give a sample of her hand writing and then her sentence. When Hannah hears Michael's voice on the recorder and of course the ending 😭😭😭

I have so many more, including Disney and Pixar but I'd be here all day!

Over to you...

I cried at the last episode of Orange is the New Black. Especially when Suzanne sang the Mountain Dew song. Loved every last one of them.

The end of toy story 3. Every single time I watch it. I broke my heart at titanic but the one I always think is the worst is Marley and me. I cried at the book and the film. Proper ugly, snotty, sobbing.

Gladiator - When he goes home and finds his wife and son and kisses their feet 😭😭😭

The end of Still Game as someone else said. They just fade away and it’s so sad!

Moana when she walks towards Te Ka at the end saying i know who you are.

Bicentennial Man ruins me - see you soon. Argh!!

End of toy story 3.

Watership Down and Bright eyes.

I have so many to be honest. I enjoy a good cry.

There's been a few threads like this.

Mine are

Prince of bel air - "how come he don't want me?" As I've seen this scenario with my dd

Friends - "she's a mother without a baby" chandler pleading with erica to allow him and Monica to adopt her child. Not only because of the fictional background but the real life one (Courtney cox had suffered mc's)

Marley and me - the ending yes but also when he's looking in on his wife after her mc and Marley is comforting her, being calm, as if he knows he needs to.

"Who will love my children?
All of it obviously, but particularly the scene where having adopted one of the boys, a couple go back for his sick brother" omg yes
Heartbreaking film

SteelMagnolias "I would rather have 30 minutes of wonderful than a lifetime of nothing special"

And when m'lynn rages at the unfairness of her daughter's death at the funeral - the rant just before clairee tells her to slap ouiser!

Erin brockovich when Donna asks if she can possibly still be a woman with no breasts and no womb.

Forrest Gump - Jenny's death & aftermath

"Loads but one not mentioned yet, the funeral poem in four weddings when his voice cracks as he says 'I was wrong'" absolutely

Good will hunting (I made the mistake of rewatching this recently as only the second time I'd watched something with Robin Williams in since his death) "it's not your fault"

But even jumanji with him hugging his dad after the game is won!

Find it very hard watching his stuff now.

Agree with many posted too.

One of the MASH Christmas specials,.. they are holding a party for the children, but Hawkeye, BJ and Margaret are trying to keep a soldier alive just a bit longer so that his date of death isn't Christmas day. They fail by 15 minutes, and Hawkeye changes the time on the clock so it's after midnight. Just so his children can enjoy their future Christmases.

When Artax dies in the Swamp of Sadness 😭😭

The scene in About Time when he chooses to go back and relive the day with his Dad on the beach. Couldn’t stop missing my Grandad who died when I was 7 and who loved the beach, wish I could go back and relive one beach day with him.

(I couldn’t stop crying and had to turn the film off after that)!!

About time is such a lovely film but totally heart rending

And I should say pretty much every blooming episode of this is us too!

In Empire of the Sun when the boy says he doesn’t remember what his parents look like.

Crying just reading this thread.

Marley and me was really sad. I cried the whole way through.

Fresh Prince of Bel Air - When Will has a breakdown screaming about he never had a father (some of the most heartbreaking acting I have ever seen) totally didn't prepare my self for it with it been a comedy.

I cried for hours.

Link to youtube clip VVV

When Wilson bobs off in Cast Away.

"Wilson I'm sorry!" makes me cry.

Agree with ImportantWater, The English Patient had me wailing. I think because it was so unexpected and the ending of the film haunted me for months afterwards.

The ending of the boy in the striped pyjamas.

The entire film of Hachi a dogs tale. I howled and howled, the cat hid under the bed I was crying so much

Oh god that Fresh Prince episode - the way Uncle Phil just grabs him.

The My Lunch episode of Scrubs - the one with the organ donors with rabies. When JD says to Dr Cox something about you go wrong when you care too much and Dr Cox is just crying and crying. Did not see that coming at all.

A Tree Grows in Brooklyn when on her graduation day Francie finds the flowers on her desk that her late father paid for two years before.

Collateral beauty. Just couldn’t breath.

Forest Gump when Forrest meets Forrest junior and asks Jenny “is he...?” And she replies that he is super smart.

UP, opening scenes. Little ds asked me in the cinema if the lady’s baby had died.

I recently watched The Notebook for the first time. I cried solidly for an hour afterwards. My dear dear grandmother died recently after suffering from dementia for too long and it still devastates me that she was alone when she died. Just seeing Allie dying peacefully with Noah by her side reminded me.

‘Daddy, my daddy’ in the Railway Children.

My daddy died in April.

I’m watching Big Bang at the mo and sheldon has made me cry twice now!! WTF!

God yes to so many on here.

The ending of Blackadder Goes Forth, when they go over the top, of course. But even before that. When Darling says he thought he would marry his Dorrie back home (can’t remember her name.) His voice is so sad and matter of fact. And Baldrick asks why can’t they all just stop! Makes me bawl.

The Fresh Prince - “how come he didn’t want me?” And Uncle Phil in that scene. Incredible acting from him and Will Smith. A few bits of Fresh Prince made me well up, they really knew how to handle the big issues of race and class but without shoving it down your throat.

Only Fools and Horses, Grandad’s funeral, the scene when Del and Rodney argue and then Del just rubs the arm of Grandad’s chair :( Also the episode when Cassandra has a miscarriage and Del and Rodney talk it out in the lift. It’s just so heartbreaking. John Sullivan was an absolute genius at making you laugh and then in a heartbeat reducing you to tears.

Mary Poppins gets me, when Dick Van Dyke sings the reprise of Spoonful of Sugar to Mr Banks “though childhood slips, like sand...through a sieve. And it’s too late to give...just that spoonful of sugar...” and when Jane says “father, in a cage?” The whole walk back to the bank when it is implied the bird lady died.

Absolutely bawled at the end of Castaway when she runs out in the rain and says “I never stopped believing you were alive. You were the love of my life!” I’m welling up just remembering.

It’s A Wonderful Life “Harry Bailey broke through the ice and was drowned at the age of 9..” I cry continually until the end of the film from that point 😭 and George’s disbelief to see his brother at the end alive!

And recently in Hook, the scene when Moira says to Peter how he is missing his children’s childhoods. “We have a few special years with our children when they're the ones that want us around. After that, you'll be running after them for a bit of attention. It's so fast, Peter. It's a few years than it's over. And you are not being careful and you are missing it." 😓

YY to Four Weddings scene, Emma Thompson scene in Love Actually, Atonement, English Patient, Who Will Love my Children.

I sobbed recently at A Star is Born.

I also cried through most of the second half of Philadelphia.

The Notebook, bit too close to home for me that one.

I thought the scene in EastEnders when Ronnie and Roxy Mitchell died was absolutely harrowing, and one of the best episodes of TV I have ever seen.
