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.

@LudoBear
I looked up the dad on Facebook. He has remarried and has another son plus a stepson. Made me happy to see.
Thank you. I didn't know that, but I'm so happy so see that too

First they killed my father....brilliant film

Breaking The Waves - a Lars Von Trier film, I cried so much while watching it, my shirt was still wet when I got home.

Beaches - when Bette Midler says how important the friendship was to her

Toy Story 2 - Jessie’s song

Who will love my children - saw it years ago and it still makes me tear up thinking about it

Brokeback mountain and the English Patient, but the latter had more to do with being 17. It never had that effect again. I'll watch it again when I'm 60 and just cry for my youth and my parents.

@middleager

I think the film you're thinking of is "Changeling". If it is that film, it's excellent.

Artificial Intelligence😥😪😥😪
When she leaves him in the woods and then when she has died and is brought back to to life from a strand of her hair for 1 day only so he can spend time with her... 😭😭😭

Rabbit-Proof Fence
Lion
Steel Magnolias

There are so many that have made me cry...

I remember years ago sitting around the telly with my mum, sister and two cousins watching Terms of Endearment - all of us crying and all five of us reaching for the tissues.

I try not to watch them at all to be honest. I can only cope with Disney films. Anything too realistic I can't cope with.

Goodnight Mister Tom
It's a full box of tissues film.

@ddot....yes incredible.
And the actor who played Mr Tom actually passed away just a few years after the film was made.

The beat part is the evening after he cinema hurtling down the hill on his bike and says I did it dad. Was lovely.

I think its absolutely magical and fills my heart with joy when people in real life can call someone else Mum and Dad because they never had it before.

Sorry @ddot my typing predictions on my phone are so random and ridiculous. Meant to say the best part was when he came hurtling down the hill on his bike.

The belt, oh God the belt got me.

@Blueappletree

Never let me go.

This film still disturbs me years after watching it

The Lovely Bones. Can't bare to even watch it now I have a daughter.

@JustOneMoreStep

I cry at pretty much everything but Let Him Have It is the only film I have ever inconsolably sobbed at.

I think that’s the film that had the biggest effect on me. I couldn’t even watch the end. I had to go outside for a walk to calm down.

Oh, Goodnight Mr Tom - the cellar scene knocks me everything

Oddly, I just Googled the movie and I have vivid memories of watching it in during a WW2 project at Primary school on the old wheeled trolley TV unit. I've only just realised it was released a year after I went to secondary

i cry at alot these days but the worst are

schindlers list
beaches
steel magnolias
terms of endearment
field of dreams
the green mile especially now mcd has gone and he was robbed of that oscar

i wont watch anything where animals die weird i know bur i cant cope

Got to be Boy in the striped pyjamas. It was horrific to watch.

i forgot toy story 3 the furnace and the end-i think it should have been left there to be honest

Atonement
Lilya 4 Ever
The Magdalene Sisters
Love Story

The Land Before Time is a weepy for sure...

The Impossible really affects me, I first watched it on a flight and spent the entire flight sobbing.

Five Feet Apart

A star is born

OMG YES!!! Even just reading the title makes me start to choke up!

Not read the whole thread yet, but mine are:

Awakenings - Robert de Niro is amazing!

Schindler's List
The Pianist
Dumbo
Pinocchio
Calamity Jane
The boy in the striped pyjamas
The Green Mile
That's all I can think of right now but there's no way I could watch Dumbo or Pinocchio again - cried so much the first time around and I couldn't put myself through it again - traumatising!

I am a proper sop - I cry at anything
