Films that always make you cry

[Soubriquet]

Sometimes when you need a good cry, you can always guarantee these films would make you cry.

What are yours?

Marley and me
War horse
(In fact most sad animal films)

And I’ve literally just watched Deep Impact and I cried again!

Welcome to the Dollhouse.

Things just never really got better for her.

The Green Mile (pretty much all of it)
End of Guardians of the Galaxy 2
Dead Poets' Society
The end of Armageddon

How have no one mentioned seven pounds yet?

Or coco?

Absolute heartbreakers!!

How could I have forgotten Up? The first time I saw it was when I showed it at my primary school film club. Luckily my tears were dried and my face was just about back to normal by the time I switched the lights on.

Oh Coco!

When Miguel starts singing to mama coco and she responds. The heart just

Why did I even start reading this thread? I'm trying not to cry at the descriptions people are putting on here!

I've always been a bit of a crier but I've got so much worse since having my DS.

I don't mind cathartic crying at romance films but can no longer handle anything sad to do with children. I can't watch 'Oliver' anymore because it's too horrible to think of the poor orphan boys who don't find it they have a secret, loving family.

A Little Princess when Sarah Crewe runs to 'Papa' who doesn't recognise her...My heart

Avengers Endgame, iron man's funeral. Every. Single. Time. And ive watched it loads. I cry at most disney films too, the most recent being frozen 2.

Me before You ugly snotty tears every time.

About time

The scene at the end where they go back to him being a child and play on the beach.

I'd love to be able to occasionally go back to when my DC were small.

A.I. and 12 years a slave, couldn’t stop crying for quite a while after those two

Yes to so many of these.

My go-to is Truly Madly Deeply. Made even sadder by the loss of Alan Rickman.

And the last 10 minutes of Paddington 2. One of my favorite films of all time but God, it makes me ugly cry.

Agree Dead Poets Society.

I sobbed at the cinema when I first saw that.

But mainly when animals die.

There used to be a website called 'Does the Dog die' so we could be reassured before watching!

What is it about the traffic lights scene in Brides of Madison county? I never cry at films but that made me blub.
Also the scene in Cuckoo's Nest when the chief lifts the sink.

It’s a Wonderful Life. I always cry twice when watching that film, first during the scene when young George tells Mr. Gower he accidentally put poison in the medicine, and then I cry again during the last scene.

Au revoir, les enfants. The last scene in the schoolyard.

@whiteroseredrose Did The Dog Die? is now a free app. I downloaded it after someone recommended it on another thread.

Up
Inside Out
Coco
Toy Story 3

(All above are Damn You, Pixar films)

The Green Mile
Guardians of the Galaxy 2 (the funeral)

Not a film but Inside Number 9 episode 'Bernie Clifton's Dressing Room' breaks me every single time. Also The Twelve Days Of Christine.

The fox and the hound (Todd and Copper 🦊🐶).

• when I was little I hasten to add.

Ghost 👻.

Beaches 🏖

Oh and the Orphange where she remembers what happened to her son and everything from then on...

Pretty much anything where animals die. Oh, and Ghost - obvs.

Kramer v Kramer

Love Story

Sophie's Choice (although that was so traumatic I needed to switch that off and never got to the end)

In tears now again thinking about it

Me Before You. Fuck me. Don't!

Sophie's Choice (although that was so traumatic I needed to switch that off and never got to the end)

I’ve only seen the YouTube clip of the choice part and from there I’ve decided no way could I handle watching the whole film.

Anna and the King. I cry at that when Tuptim and her lover dies and when the kings favourite daughter dies.

Mama Mia 2
The Book Thief

I started watching it quite randomly about 15 years ago (ie pre sky when I would have had to look up the paper to see what was on). Got to the choice bit and had to switch off during that so never seen the full scene. I was early 20s and had no children but it totally traumatised me. Now I have children I actually can't bear to think about it
