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.

Go towards the light, watched it years ago and was just broken for weeks 😭, goodnight Mr Tom is just gut wrenching too

So many said it already but Lion definitely stayed with me

Marley and me.. the theme song came on the other day and I cried 😂😂😂😂

The boy in the striped pyjamas, sobbing.

I cry over literally everything . Even some Friends episodes makes me cry.
A Little Princess, loved the film, just so emotional!

The most recent film I saw, I cried throughout the whole film , seriously from start to finish, couldn't stop crying, is a post-Holocaust film about the post war in Chechnya called The Search, I warn you if you dare put it on, keep a box of tissues next to you.

Another film is Son of Babylon. I'm a cry baby anyway 😂

Who will love my Children🥲

Man on fire
The green mile
Mississippi burning
Bridge to Terabithia
Mr Magoriums wonder emporium
Wonder
Field of dreams
Forest Gump
Stand by me
The elephant man

A really random mix but they all make me sob. I've defintely been more of a crier since having kids!

genius1308 · 23/03/2021 19:53

Oh, and Armageddon too!

Minniem2020 · 23/03/2021 19:55

Boys don't cry
The green mile
Ps I love you
The boy in the striped pyjamas
My sisters keeper
Me before you
Seven pounds

Oh and I cry at nearly every Disney film there is

Seeking a friend for the end of the world.

ilovemyskunks · 23/03/2021 20:02

Grave of the fireflies - whole family was sobbing and we don't normally cry.

Loveletters123 · 23/03/2021 20:04

I find memoirs of a geisha really sad 😢

Montysauras · 23/03/2021 20:04

Room, it just really struck a cord with me. Just welling up thinking about it, it just resonates with me as there is literally nothing I wouldn’t do for my DC

Mojomarvel · 23/03/2021 20:06

Jack, the Robin Williams film
The Green Mile

momager1 · 23/03/2021 20:06

not sure if it has been mentioned. Rabbit Proof Fence. Watched it on one of my first dates that I actually trusted my now husband enough to be in his house (married 17 years now, he is a good one) So horrible and really heartwarming at the same time.

Manchester by the Sea

TheSandman · 23/03/2021 20:10

The last Matrix film - all that money time skill and effort - wasted! I find it heartbreaking when you watch millions of dollars being pissed up against a wall on a worthless script.

Montysauras · 23/03/2021 20:10

Oh I agree with PP, my DC is obsessed with Toy Story but I still cant watch after a certain point in Toy Story 3... oh and Coco, I didn’t realise why I couldn’t stop crying about that one (was pregnant)

Oh and the beginning bit of Up...

Montysauras · 23/03/2021 20:11

@Minniem2020

Oh and I cry at nearly every Disney film there is
Yep pretty much sums me up...

Philomena.

And a documentary, Dear Zachary

Frokni · 23/03/2021 20:14

@Mrsjayy the part where she sees the 2 girls sobbing as their Dad tries to pull their mother down from the (poplar) tree? Bloody heartbreaking!

PajamasnoDramas · 23/03/2021 20:15

Films don’t usually get me but ET still makes me so tearful and Watership Down. Why make kid’s films so upsetting? It’s all with the editing and music.

In the more grown-up genre The Elephant Man, Schindler’s List but the worst, and never likely to be beaten is La Vie en Rose. It’s a biopic of the life of Édith Piaf.
