What film do you want to watch, but daren’t because you know you will cry

[Soubriquet]

I keep hearing good reviews about Haichi and I really want to watch it. But I also know I would probably spend most of the time sobbing my heart out, so I’ve avoided it.

The last animal lead film I think I watched was either Marley and Me or War Horse. Both left me in inconsolable tears

I’m a wuss

ET, fly away home, free willy, land before time, all dogs go to heaven, lion king. All of the greats, I want to introduce my son to them but know i’ll start bawling 😂

Stand By Me

Who Will Love My Children

A Monster Calls

The raw emotion is incredible but moves you to tears.

I cried reading war horse the book. The film was rubbish and didn't move me at all.

War Horse
Black Beauty - seen but can't watch again

Up

Sophie's Choice

Marley and me. I watched it before I got my first ddog and sobbed and when I adopted him in 2012 I went to watch it but couldn't and still now won't watch it even though he's not with me anymore and we have ddog2

Hi don’t cry as such but La La Land makes me ridiculously sad - it’s just not the ending the film deserved.

Me Before You
Love and Other Impossible Pursuits

I can't watch any animated films anymore since they put Coco on last Christmas and I sat and cried my bloody eyes out. Left me feeling a bit sad all Christmas evening!

Room

Hachi…. 😢😢

Ha! Posted that before reading your OP properly @Soubriquet

I am Sam.

Full on ugly crying with that one.

Also “8 below” but that was more happy sobbing

War Horse (Topthorn's last scene) and the end of Marley and Me. I also recall crying wretchedly at Shiloh (1996 dog film) whilst babysitting, to the amusement of the kids, though in mitigation my own dog had recently been euthanised. I didn't tell them why I was so upset.

Schindler's List, The Pianist and The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas. Also United 93.

But I also cried at The Animals of Farthing Wood. AND bits of Dogtanian and the Three Muskehounds. So I have form as a blub-fountain.

War Horse.

Coco

Agree with Up, and also Atonement

Eight below had me crying
Hachi - full on sobbing uncontrollably so that I scared the cat who hid under the sofa

Water ship down

Schindler's List. I'm going to make the kids watch it once they come of age, they need to know what humanity's capable of.

TV series rather than a film but I would love to rewatch Its a Sin. It’s one of the most powerful things I’ve ever watched.
I’m heavily pregnant though and just know I can’t take it. I was a wreck after watching it the first time.

I watched Hachi when I was in my early 20s. It's such a sad story, I was indeed sobbing my heart out.

Same thing happend with Marley and Me, still refuse to rewatch it.

Other movies that made me sob: Me Before You, Up, The Boy In The Striped Pyjamas, The Pianist, The Bucket List
