Just that! Any scene in a film that even the thought of can send a wave of emotions over you?

For me, toy story 2, Jessies song, "when she loved you" 😭

I cry everytime. It makes me think of my little girl (age 2) she needs me now and I'll wipe away her tears and make her giggle, but one day I'll not be her whole world like I am now 🌍

Watership down as well! Can't quite remember the bit in particular that got me as I was a bloody kid in school but definitely involving an animal or two dying

Rebeccasmoonnecklace · 29/09/2020 01:04

I know some of these have been mentioned but.....The traffic light scene in Bridges of Madison County, the end of Ghost when Sam tells Molly that you take the love with you when you go. ET when he leaves Elliot at the end and his little heart is glowing and Billy Elliot and the letter to him from his Mum. Also in the Musical Oliver when Oliver sings Where is love. The Passion of the Christ I watched twice years ago and have ugly cried my way through both times, I’m not particularly religious but I found the film upsetting and harrowing at times..... There are many more films that have upset me I’m sure but these have stuck with me the most. There are some that have been listed that I need to watch.

@bottlenose301

Oh dear I've got loads

Notebook - the ending when he's reading the book to her and they dance when she briefly remembers him

Coco - I saw this with my DD and was in complete bits. Probably the bit when you see the grand mother has died a year on

Beaches - when Barbara Hershey dies and that song!

Colour Purple - whole film really but yes to when the sisters were reunited

12 Year a slave - when Lupita N'yongo was being whipped

Marley and Me - when the dog got sicker and sicker and then died. I was on a plane watching and literally bawled

Animal farm - when the horse was taken away to be killed

Never ending story - when the horse drowned in the mud

Philadelphia - when Tom Hanks died

Am reminded of another one. War Horse. When Topthorn dies. and the end when Joey is reunited with his owner again.

And another. Charlotte's Web. When Charlotte does

Bambi. When he gets se paraded from his mother and she is killed and his dad comes to tell him. also love the bit when Bambi is on the ice! So cute.

The Passion of the Christ. Jesus as a toddler, falls over and His mother is like "it's ok,.am here." And how that scene is a flashback and the adult Jesus turns to her and says " see, I make all things new. " such a lump in my throat. Am not a crier but that one gets me every time.

Ghosts2020 · 29/09/2020 01:43

Marley and me Marley dies self explanatory
Jack Jacks graduation scene, you know he hasn't got long left by that point
Harry Potter Fred weasleys death

Baboutheocelot · 29/09/2020 07:29

In Song of the Sea when the children’s mum has to go back to the sea to be a selkie. I cried buckets. The whole film is really magical.

TweetUsOnFacebook · 29/09/2020 07:41

A TV movie about 20 years ago called The Gift. Amanda Burton played a mum with terminal cancer. There was a powerful scene where she spent the evening with her young daughter bathing her and washing her hair and cutting her nails. She put her to bed and said goodnight and closed the door knowing she would never see her again, as she had decided to take her own life because she didn't want her daughter to see her slowly dying. Having been the daughter in that scenario it hit me hard and I've never forgotten it.

[quote Graphista]@toiletpaper ahh a fellow bones fan! Yay!

That episode - aliens in a spaceship - has imo one of the most romantic scenes in tv when he sees the puff of smoke and races to save her! Plus the other romantic sub plot

One of my favourite episodes

Others inc

The man in the fallout shelter - the 1st season Xmas episode when they end up quarantined and get to know each other

Any episodes featuring max or other family members of the main characters, Avalon (Cyndi Lauper), or my fave serial killers on the show - epps, Broadsky or pelant.

Must stop now! Could go on all night [/quote]
Wow you're a mega fan! I've not seen it for a while but thanks to you I'm going to binge it again, got to S1 Ep4 last night Grin

Willowmartha1 · 29/09/2020 08:01

Stepmom where they discuss the daughters wedding - 'I have her past and you can have her future' gets me every single time !!!

Willowmartha1 · 29/09/2020 08:07

Billy Elliot where the dad goes back to work in the mines and his son tries to stop him and they both break down 😢

StCharlotte · 29/09/2020 08:53

@vampirethriller

The bit in Muriel's Wedding where she tries on a wedding dress for the first time always makes me cry. I don't like weddings, don't want to get married, so I don't know why. The end of A League of Their Own makes me sad too. In Fievel Goes West there's a bit with a cat talking about how much she misses someone and that gets me every time.
Mine is Muriel's Wedding too but It's the bit when she and the husband kiss after the funeral. When that happened it was like a switch in my head - and tear ducts - and I sobbed through the rest of the film. In the cinema. Mortifying.

I love the film and have seen it loads. It took a lot of viewings before I finally stopped doing it. It obviously hit a nerve.

Conversely, I saw Hope & Glory in the cinema and the scene where they're doing their nine times table in gasmasks made me laugh helplessly all the way home. My fellow tube passengers must have thought I was on something.

Clawdy · 29/09/2020 12:23

Bridges Of Madison County at the end, as others have said - that beautiful smile he gives her.

Graphista · 29/09/2020 13:00

@toiletpaper I really am! I'm on season 8 now on this go around. Watched in it so much I don't know how many times now love it

LunaMay · 29/09/2020 15:12

Uhoh, ive been rewatching a lot og movies lately.

Most have been mentioned here, the whole ending of Coco.

PP mentioned Futurama and the episode with the dog, there's also an episode where Leela finds her parents and at the end it shows how they had been looking out for her as she was growing up.

-When Ceaser dies at the end of the planet of the apes trilogy.
-Yondu - "He may have been your father, boy. But he wasn't your daddy."
-End game - Ironman
-Christopher Robin - When he breaks down
-Billy Elliot - When he dances in front of his dad and the dad then runs to the teacher, when he crosses the picket line, when he comes out on stage at the end and the dads face.
-Braveheart - The end scene when they throw his sword etc
-Delivery man - When the baby is born at the end and all the 'kids' are there at the hospital.
-Drop dead Fred - Most of that movie to be honest, never used to.
-Heart and souls when the ghosts 'leave' Thomas as a boy and his crying.
-How to train your dragon 2- When the dad dies
-Mystery Alaska - After they lose and everyone starts clapping
-The impossible - When the family is reunited.
-Middle School The Worst Years Of My Life - when you find out the friend is actually his brother that passed away and he's been imagining him.

FurrySlipperBoots · 29/09/2020 15:41

My Dog Skip when Skip is old and arthritic and can't get on the bed anymore, and the dad gently lifts him up there. Hell, all of My Dog Skip actually - it's one giant sob-fest!

Crystal87 · 29/09/2020 19:19

Ghost, when he says goodbye and goes to heaven and you can see all the spirits waiting for him.
Empire of the Sun, when he sees his parents again.
Casper, when he sees his bedroom and toys and vaguely remembers being alive.

ISpeakJive · 29/09/2020 20:14

The end of E.T for me. First watched that film when I was six. Been crying ever since 😥

EdwardCullensBiteOnTheSide · 29/09/2020 20:18

The boy in the striped pyjamas when they are ushered into the bunker and you know what's coming.

EdwardCullensBiteOnTheSide · 29/09/2020 20:19

And the end of toy story 3 when Andy is demonstrating all his toys.

Jennygentle · 29/09/2020 20:29

BingBong’s sacrifice.

The scene in Shadowlands where Anthony Hopkins tells his wife’s bereaved son that the grief he’s feeling is the same as the love he felt ‘It’s all part of the same thing’

ShesMadeATwatOfMePam · 29/09/2020 21:26

The show yourself scene in frozen 2, where elsa reaches the heart of the glacier and she realises she doesn't need anyone else, she can be everything she needs herself. I read that Elsa was written as suffering with depression. I've suffered with anxiety and depression for a long fucking time. I cried my eyes out the first time i listened to the words properly.

rockingthelook · 29/09/2020 21:48

The old version of Goodbye Mr Chips when he dies and sees his old pupils who have died in the war as he drifts away...
In the same film when the childless and widowed Mr Chips is asked if he has any children and he reflects and says Yes, all boys' when thinking of all his ex pupils he has taught over the years, gets me every time, love an old classic movie

YouLando · 29/09/2020 22:26

A couple of people have mentioned Deep Impact - another scene that gets me is when Tea Leoni goes to find her estranged dad, just before the smaller asteroid hits. They reconcile, and there's a bit where she snuggles in towards him as the giant tsunami's closing in on the beach and she just says 'Daddy!' 😪

The bit in Bridge to Terabithia when the boy's parents tell him about Lesley absolutely broke my heart when I first watched it with DD, I was so shocked.

Tony Stark's funeral 😭 and Yondu's Ravager funeral in Guardians of the Galaxy 2.

Heronwatcher · 29/09/2020 22:37

Emma Thompson in Love Actually every time.
Out of Africa at the end when the lion is lying on the grave.
Dead Poets society “my captain my captain”- killed me.

rookiemere · 29/09/2020 22:55

I was in bits most of the way through Wonder. I'd not rated her that highly as an actress before but she was amazing and did this little crinkle of her eyes when bad things happened that left me howling. I went through about 10 hankies.

rookiemere · 29/09/2020 22:55

Julia Roberts I mean.
