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...

(Might be alone here but....) Green Mile also, but when Delacroix dies. Bloody awful.

Cold mountain... It made me weep...
I just sat there at the end of the film dejected and so sad.
Do not watch if depressed.

City of Angels when Meg Ryan dies
Field of Dreams - the end

Actually watching that will smith scene reminds me of the scene in one of his movies, I can't remember the name now. He is struggling to get by and has a little boy, they are sleeping on the floor of a public toilet and he is holding the door closed with his foot while holding his son

The persuit of happiness, that's what it was called!

Dumbo.
Step mom
Marley and Me.
All have me snot crying.

Agree about the last episode of Blackadder Goes Forth. It's such a skillful piece of riting - there's a moment (I think it's when Blackadder asks Darling if he's scared and he says he is) where you can almost hear the crunch as the gears change.

Writing, goddammit!

I proper sobbed at the end of The Imitation Game after Alan Turing had been such a totally amazing genius. And then we see him as a shell of himself after being chemically castrated. Wicked.

The fresh prince episode already mentioned
The end of Armageddon
The walking dead season 1 when Rick finds Carl and Lori
The end of pearl harbour

The bit in Moana when her Grandmother is dying and she says something like “there’s no where you can go that I won’t be with you”. Gets me every time.

The scene in Titanic where the lady with a baby asks which boat they are supposed to go to... and the officer doesn't answer. And the old couple on the bed joining hands. And the orchestra picking up their instruments and playing.
Legends of the Fall - "it was a good kill". The ending. Gets me howling every time.
Dirty Dancing - "Nobody puts Baby in the corner". And their final dance.
Love Actually - Emma Thompson scene in the bedroom.
The Green Mile - when he says he wants to die because people are so evil.

AI for me too.
And Dr Greene ER
Titanic, watership down
ET, Dumbo, Bambi
Planet of the apes

Just watched "When They See Us" on Netflix and oh my god, totally wasn't prepared for that. The whole thing is achingly sad but at the very end they show the real men it is based on and the final man (who endured the worst) just looks haunted by what he went through

The end of The Way We Were where the two main characters meet by chance.

When Ratso dies in Midnight Cowboy

The end of Cargo..

The death scene in Sometimes a Great Notion.

I watched it nearly 40 years ago in my early teens

Saving Mr Banks.. 'I dropped the pears' and the scene where she's watching it at the premier and Feeds the Birds music plays as it shows scenes with her and her dad.

Lion... When Saro is reunited with his family only to find out his brother died the same night he went missing.

A monster calls... That scene! Pretty much everyone in the cinema cried.
“It ends with a boy holding on to his mother and by doing so, he can finally let go.”

How has nobody mentioned Kes yet?

Came on to say the end of Coco when the little girl grandma is happily walking hand in hand with her parents in the afterlife. Proper ugly sobbing every time!!!
Also when the grandmother dies in Moana - can't hold back the tears and I've seen the film 20 times! (DCs just laugh at me every time!)

When Dr Pratt dies in ER. It's when his neck swells up and the look in his eyes. He knows he is going to die. Get a me every single time.

Things guaranteed to make me cry in film:

The end of Philadelphia

Sally fields in Steel Magnolias funeral scene (she deserved every award for that every single year since)

The Quarterback episode of Glee ☺️

Goodbye Mr Chips, especially the scenes when his wife and child die. Also the scene when his pupils hear about what has happened and they all stop messing around and stand up to show their respects.

The impossible when he finds his kids

The end of Imitation game when Alan Turing is a broken man.

Lion, I can’t watch the last half an hour.

Olly Alexander: Growing up Gay: www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/p057nfy7 via @bbciplayer
All of this, it’s extremely personal as someone who has experienced it and as someone who had to comfort a loved one in it.

In years and years when Viktor is asked if he is alone and he replies “I don’t know” as Danny is dead, but he is still there with him.

I expect someone has already said but in Terms of Endearment when Deborah Winger has to say goodbye to her children before she dies.
