Can you reccomend me something to watch to make me cry please?

[Tashtegotoo]

I'm absolutely fine but sometimes when things get a bit much I need to have a cry to let some sad feelings out. Has anyone got any ideas of (shortish) things I can watch to make me have a little weep ocassionally?

Trust Snailandthewhale and watch Shadowlands. I defy anyone to get through that film dry-eyed.

Step Mom
Artificial intelligence
Lion ( on Netflix atm)
That episode of call the midwife when the baby has no arms or legs and the mother says to it 'aww love what a mess...we'll sort summat' out' 😭😭

Steel Magnolias 😢

The boy in the striped pyjamas

I have a black cynical heart and very rarely cry about anything.

But, the scene at the end of The Railway Children always makes me cry.
I can actually feel myself welling up now...the innocent beauty of it just gets me every time.

O, also Marley and Me, I remember watching it on a flight to New York and sobbing, but I don't even like dogs. This has changed, I am now a very happy dog owner, not cause of the film.

I was on a flight to Canada when I watched this and 15wks pregnant with HG I cried, proper ugly cried at this film Never watched it since...

I’m sat racking my brains for recommendations OP but I a) can’t seem to think of any and b) seem to be crying at everything at the moment

And I've just thought of another one.

The 'Baby Mine' bit in the Disney Dumbo. 😢

Hearty Paws - a Korean movie about a boy and his dog, a sobfest from the start. Didn’t finish watching it, DD and I were traumatised!

After life on Netflix. Makes me cry every episode

@Ameanstreakamilewide I thought it was just me that cries at that bit of Dumbo

Into the wild
Mary and martha

Oh skinny it's heartbreaking. I honestly can't think about it for too long, as i start getting choked up.

@Ameanstreakamilewide I teach media and one school had that clip on their scheme of work. I was there at the front with tears running down my face and the kids looking at me like I had two heads. Same thing with boy in the striped pyjamas. Kids don't bat an eyelid and I'm there blubbing

The Snowman makes me cry and it's not very long. His friend melts!!!

If you are not quite as wet as I am, Grave of the Fireflys by Studio Ghibli. It's animated, but heartbreaking. It's also a film, so 89 mins long, but you don't need to watch that long before the heartbreak hits.

I'd have been a mess! Were the kids sympathetic?

Wonder on Netflix. I called my eyes out on the plane back from holiday with DH. He was appalled. 🤣🤣🤣

Grave of the Fireflies. Hands down saddest movie I've ever watched.

@Ameanstreakamilewide nope! No hope with Dumbo when I've taught for 11 years and it continues to surprise me that every year nobody bats an eyelid when two naked, scared little boys get gassed (Boy in the Striped PJs), a young lad is shot for cowardice after trying to protect his platoon ( Private Peaceful), and a man has to shoot his simple best friend to save him from the hell of prison ( of Mice and Men).

Blind side

The Awakenings with Robin Williams.
Agree with This is Us, beginning of Up, Coco and Moana.
Baby mine in the original Dumbo always makes me weep.
A scene in Carol where she is fighting for custody of her daughter totally broke me.

If you like horses - Spirit, Stallion of the Cimmeron

@skinnyhotchoc Little bleeders! 😉

I might have to try The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas; you can't fail to be moved by a story like that.

I agree with 'Up'
Also the new film 1917

Boy in the striped pyjamas - so, so sad.
Marley & Me ( my husband thought something awful had happened as I opened the door to him totally bawling my eyes out and couldn't speak)
Lion King (the original)

@NorthernSoullover

Gawd, the beginning of Up gets me EVERY TIME
