I cry at most things Blush 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 Sad

ET has always been my weakness.

Also Beaches, Marley & Me, Homeward Bound, I Am Legend.

Dead Poets Society - O Captain! My Captain!

Forrest Gump, after Jenny dies.

Positivelypatient · 10/03/2021 22:47

Titanic when old Rose dies and then you see her being welcomed back into Titanic as it was with Jack and all the other characters. I remember the Celine Dion song being popular on the radio and bawling my way to work one morning as it reminded me of the scene. What a wally 🤣

Bing Bong Sad

ItsIgginningtolooklikelockdown · 10/03/2021 22:54

I even cry at tiktok videos - the American ones with adult children coming home unexpectedly, in particular Sad

VienneseWhirligig · 10/03/2021 23:04

Moana's grandmother dying. Floods.

Draculahhh · 10/03/2021 23:04

The royle family, when nana dies. No matter how many times I watch It O always end up ugly crying.

Hidden figures, when Katherine Johnson finally looses it about the coloured bathrooms and the separate coffee pots. It's such an emotional moment and I am amazed Taraaji didn't get an Osacr for that.

Homeward bound

LondonLass61 · 10/03/2021 23:13

@Pinkycheeks

Toy story 3. Holding hands as they approach the furnace.... yep face red and watery just typing it.
Me too!
SinisterBumFacedCat · 10/03/2021 23:19

Coco, the scene at the end when he is singing to his Grandma with dementia and she starts singing too. I can’t even describe the scene without tearing up. I am watery eyed now, God damnit!

LondonLass61 · 10/03/2021 23:26

@Milomonster

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.

When the dog dies in Turner and Hooch, even if I just catch the last 15 mins it gets me every time.

WomenAreBornNotWorn · 11/03/2021 00:02

Yes! Was not expecting the dog to die in Turner and Hooch.

Animal Farm.
Watership Down.
The Last Unicorn, when they finally escape from the water.

Black Beauty. "We call them dumb animals, and so they are, for they cannot tell us how they feel, but they do not suffer less because they have no words"

The Color Purple
The Champ
Billy Elliot,when the dad crosses the picket line.

But I think the most I've ever cried at anything was the final episode of Six Feet Under.

Oh yes, this put a dampener on Christmas Day for me actually. Made the mistake of watching it on BBC1.

MrsMalcolmFuckingTucker · 11/03/2021 06:58

The scene is About Time when Domhall Gleason knows he can’t see he dad anymore but his dad (Bill Nighy) asks for one more hour and they go down to the beach as a there younger selves and fly a kite. I’m crying typing this, so sad and beautiful.

Marley and Me, I will NEVER watch that film again because I’m distraught

Tim and Dawn at the end with Only You playing

Pretty much every episode of This Is Us but especially Williams death and everything around that and when Kevin leaves his play and runs to Randall who’s on his office floor crying. Absolutely sobbed to that!

And a million others things because I cry at the drop of a hat

alwaysbethepigeon · 11/03/2021 07:01

Marley and me where he takes the dog on a walk and tells him he wasn't the worst dog in the world.

MsTSwift · 11/03/2021 07:09

I genuinely think About Time should come with a warning to those who have recently lost a parent. Dh and I saw it at the cinema loved it but we not in that situation advised a friend who had recently lost her lovely dad to leave it a while.

lollipoprainbow · 11/03/2021 07:25

@MrsL2016 same !

Deathraystare · 11/03/2021 07:28

The Incredible journey - about 2 dogs and a cat that were left behind when people moved . The animals found their people in the end but the boy was waiting for an old dog and (oh fuck I am crying now as I type! Damn you!!!!) you think he hasn't made it!

I tried to explain the film to my sister in law and broke off crying 3 times. In the end she told me to stop it!

lollipoprainbow · 11/03/2021 07:29

@Jocasta2018 oh my goodness Aunt Lucy !! Paddington2 at the end had me in floods at the cinema, she reminds me of my mum who is poorly and the relationship she has with my dd!

Deathraystare · 11/03/2021 07:30

I also used to watch Robinson Crusoe - a French Canadian dubbed version. In the first episode a dog dies. I never forgot it. Whenever I hard the music I would bawl.

lollipoprainbow · 11/03/2021 07:31

Beaches mostly all of the scenes to be honest !
Billy Elliot where the dad goes back to work down the mine and the elder son confronts him and they both cry

lollipoprainbow · 11/03/2021 07:33

@Flyingfrogspawn the wind beneath my wings has me sobbing every time 😢

sunshineandhappy · 11/03/2021 07:37

I've always got emotional at the end of any version of the Peter Pan story when the children comeback to the nursery.
But so much ugly crying at the film Lion. Same scenario, actually!

MistsofAvalon · 11/03/2021 08:24

Yes to lots of those already mentioned - Brokeback Mountain, After Life, Blackadder Goes Forth, Buffy - but especially Gladiator - the death of Maximus (sob).

Oh, and Betty Blue - desperately painful and sad Sad
