What's the most heartbreaking film you've watched?

[LudoBear]

I've just watched Mums List. Proper sobbing watching it and I don't even have children.

Eight Below, Haachi and Marley & Me are sad too.

Dances with wolves. I sobbed and sobbed.

I adore that film - will watch again.

Lorenzo's Oil and Kes. Both older films and more recently Me Before You.

Lorenzo's Oil tells the story of a couple's search for a cure for their terminally ill child.

Kes is a Ken Loach film about a solitary child who befriends and trains a kestrel.

Me Before You is a bitter-sweet romance with many humorous but poignant moments.

La Vita e Bella, without a doubt. I cried so much in the cinema I lost my contacts. It is such a beautiful film, showing the depths of parental love.

I cry every time I watch beaches and the queen, I was heartbroken when Diana died, purely because William is a few months older than me and I know how I would feel if I lost my mum

I can recall a few, A Walk To Remember with Mandy Moore. Boys Don't Cry. Watership Down, and The Notebook.

Truly madly deeply, so so sad

Watership Down, Truly, Madly, Deeply, Brokeback Mountain, E.T.

Room, I sobbed buckets over that x

Me too. I watched it with newborn DS sleeping in my arms and sobbed all the way through it.

He's 5 now (the age the boy was at the end) and I still think about it all the time (especially in Lockdown!).

Yes, I'm crying now.

The note book... sobbed like a baby. Watched it alone mind. 😀
Life is beautiful.... the ending killed me.
Lion... just beautiful.
Haachi.... heartbreaking

Oh The Green Mile, Tess of the Derbavilles, The Lovely Bones.

The Magdalene sisters. 😭

Marley and me. I cry at supervet and sometimes at the news so anything to do with animals makes me bawl. Also some music can reduce me to tears depending on my mood when I hear it 😭

Definitely grave of the fireflies by studio ghibli. Makes me cry every single time

Cannot watch sad films since I had kids.

The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas. When the credits rolled the auditorium was silent, no one rushed out of their seats which normally happens. Everyone just sat there silent for a good few minutes.

I’m of the Beaches era. Heartbreaking. I can’t even hear the music (Wind Beneath My Wings) now without wanting to cry! I could list a few more. Since I had kids I am a real cryer!

The Bridges of Madison County and Captains Courageous

Coco

The Champ
The Jazz Singer
PS I Love you
The Winnie The Pooh when Christopher Robin has to explain to Pooh that he is starting school, ds age 3 sobbed watching that & so did I

Who will love my children

Terms of Endearment

Beaches. Bett midler

Almost anything. Things with dad’s and daughters like Les Mis and Armageddon.

I probably cried most at Backbeat though. I knew it was a true story about The Beatles but I didn’t know what happened

Seven pounds
Toy story 3 ( I was pregnant and hormonal)
Boy in the striped pyjamas ( the book also made me wail)
Lovely bones
The green mile
