What movie/tv scenes can make you bawl everytime

[Soubriquet]

I cry at most things especially things like the Good Dinosaur, Up etc... but these are “grown up” and they still make me cry.

The spies goodbye in Agents of Shield, and the bit where all the adults are volunteering to die so that others can live in The 100

Manchester by the Sea - the moment the parents of their dead child meet by chance some years later. The mother is married with a new child. I have never seen a scene where pain of two very broken people was conveyed in the way it was. Having lost a child and divorced following the trauma, it resonated very deeply.

The look of love and mutual adoration that Spencer Tracy gives Katherine Hepburn at the end of Guess Who's Coming to Dinner - knowing he died a few weeks after they finished filming seems unbearably poignant to me and significant given their lifelong affair. I rewatched it the other night as it was on TV and it just makes me weep.
Another vote too for The Railway Children. The book has a similar affect as well.

The final part of Goodbye, Farewell & Amen (well the whole second half actually), when the team are reflecting and saying goodbye. Just feels so real (probably because for them it was)

Me Before You was on the other day and I bawled my eyes out at the scene on the beach at the end. I knew what was coming as I'd read the book but still.
I also cry at Armageddon when Bruce Willis is saying goodbye to Gracie and they play Don't Want to Miss a Thing

Recently watched Steel Magnolias and I know it’s sad, but the scene where Sally Fields rants about why at the funeral had me in absolute floods.

Same, every time. Also the reunion scene in A Little Princess.

My sisters keeper and Beaches - for years I couldn't listen to wind beneath my wings.

Brassed Off - Stephen Tompkinson - Margaret Thatcher speech at the children’s party. It fills me with rage and sadness, fabulous film but gets me every time.

@Bibidy

The Royle Family, when Denise is in labour in the bathroom with Jim.

Also the Queen of Sheba episode, loads of it but especially the scene where Nana says she got her wish and thanks Barbara for not putting her in a home.

Oh god yes. I can't even watch the Queen of Sheba. The Christmas special with Denise and Jim in the toilet never fails to make me cry. We watched it this year not long after I found I was pregnant and I was a bit taken aback by the news. And then Denise poured her heart out to Jim about not even wanting to feel the baby kicking and Jim says something like of course you'll like it, you'll bloody love it. And I instantly felt better too. Ah 😭

Eight Below. At this point I'm bawling before the titles even end because I know what's coming. Similarly Homeward Bound and pretty much any film involving dogs suffering and dying.

"Every time" isn't really true to say, as I've only watched this once, but Ponette - a French film about a little girl who's lost her mum. I saw it when I was an immune-to-sad-films young childless twentysomething cinephile and it was the saddest sodding thing I'd ever seen. I don't think I could bear it now I have kids myself. Mainly it's how good the young girl playing the part is, she makes it so real.

V's death in Evie's arms in V for Vendetta

I always blub at the end of Nanny McPhee and the big bang when the dad appears over the hill. I have seen it so many times and I brace myself but it makes no difference whatsoever.
Oh and the end of the last Lord of the Rings film when Froda is sailing off to the undying lands. I have watched it twice and refuse to do so again. I finish at the coronation bit and pretend the rest never happened .

Another Emma Thompson one ( adding to Nanny McPhee) .
Sense and Sensilbility when Marianne is v ill and Eleanor is begging her not to die and leave her all alone. I am filling up just thinking about it.

Getting teary just reading these! So the one that hits me hardest is Schindler’s List ( proper loud ugly bawling, nose streaming tears), when the Nazis take the children away at Auswitz, and they are waving goodbye to their parents in the back of the truck (not realising they will never come back 😭😭), absolutely gut wrenching. Same film, lots of scenes really, the girl in the red dress, Schindler breaking down at the end holding the gold pin and saying he could have ‘saved one more person’. The end credits when the families of Holocaust survivors place stones on his grave to that heart breaking music. Ok gonna have to go get a tissue now...

Fried green tomatoes, first when buddy dies, then again when Ruth dies, and at the end.

Steel Magnolias , Sally fields scene gets me every time,

@Luckystar1

The opening scene of the second series of Handmaids Tale, with Kate Bush ‘this woman’s work’. Holy god, I just cry and cry. I sometimes watch it on YouTube, just to depress myself!

Amazing!

Yup this, and I also watch it on You Tube to make myself cry.

I cry at Four Weddings at the funeral.

And Love Actually, the Emma Thompson scene in the bedroom.

I cry at almost every episode of This Is Us.

Bawl at Beaches.

Forrest Gump when his mama dies then later when Jenny dies.
The Snowman ending, every time.

The Colour Purple when Ceelie is forced apart from her little sister Natty, oh my gosh the end when they are finally reunited and crying. Floods of tears!

The Help when the elderly maid Constantine is forced to leave the family home, the little girl getting punished for doing a wee by mistake, the end when the main lady is forced to leave the little girl she loves (and the little girl loses the only mum she’s known)

The end of Gladiator, to that moving music, and he’s finally ‘home’

The striped Pjs

I walked out of Schindler’s List I literally couldn’t bear to watch it. I would never watch it again.

Yeah MsTSwift, you’re right. It’s too upsetting, haven’t been able to see it in years either.

Like The Pianist, was only able to see that once, is so stressful.

The bit at the end of Local Hero where the phone in the telephone box rings!

Many of mine already mentioned

Railway Children
Paddington 2
Goodbye mr chips
Blackadder goes forth

I will add in
Goodnight Mister Tom, when he calls Dad
An affair to Remember when Cary Grant realises Deborah Kerr was paralysed on the way to meet him

LOTR The Two Towers when King Theoden goes to the burial mounds after learning of his son's death and says, "No parent should ever have to bury their child."
Kills me every time. Such a beautiful scene.

The ending of American Beauty. I hadn't watched it in years but did so a few months back and ugly cried all over again. When Caroline (Annette Bening) wails into her husband's clothes, holy shit that's such a sad moment.

Inside Out: As Bing Bong fades away... that's just ugly crying on steroids for me.

Another Pixar one, Up: When Ellie loses her baby.
