Emotional films you can barely get through

[Hyvsvaar]

Life is beautiful…can’t discuss without getting teary
and watching hacksaw ridge is a proper sob fest from about 3 mins in until the end
WHATS a really good film to hit you in the emotional feels please as
i need to expand
I also flipping love Amelie and a very long engagement

‘A monster calls’ had me bawling my eyes out at the end, it’s such a bizarre but beautiful film

So many but I can't bear beaches... Amazing film why kill her and that film with Shirley maclain and jack Nicholson and her daughter dies of cancer!! Terms of endearment??

The start of midsommar was a bit intense. Such a weird but strangely cathartic film.

The Railway Children

50 years on, I cannot watch the bit where Roberta recognises her father on the station platform, as it makes me sob. It's connected to a shadowy childhood memory of my father leaving us and never coming back, and me dreaming that one day he did return, with saying exactly that when I saw him coming into our garden and ran to him.

Also lilya 4 ever, I sobbed so much.

Bit embarrassing, but Homeward Bound. Full on ugly cry for a large proportion of that film 😂

Great choices
thanks for suggestions so far,
children of men anyone?

My goodness that’s so sad I’m sorry x

The fault in our stars. Never cried so much at a film

Hachi a dogs tale. Uncontrolled sobbing, the cat hid under the sofa
Eight below

Ooh that’s a good one! It’s definitely a “I’ve seen it once and don’t need to repeat the breakdown” type of film

The English Patient. I saw it 3 times at the cinema many years ago and started crying earlier and earlier into the film. If I try to watch it now I'm in bits within minutes and if I make it to when he leaves her in the caves I'm sobbing, I even made the cinema row shake and had to leave to pull myself together all those years ago!

Waterloo Bridge, even thinking about it is too late emotional, it's so so cruel, I can't watch it ever again.

Brief Encounter, I used to love it but now I can't stand Alec and I'm convinced her husband knows she's up to something and lets her as he doesn't want to lose her.

The Bridges of Madison County

Because I get it more than I could admit

It's a thousand years old now but my flatmate and I once nearly drowned in our own tears watching Who Will Love My Children. I was probably pissed, but still.

I've never watched Silent Running again either. Or Derek Jarman's Sebastiane. Not enough tears in the world.

Dancer in the dark. Bridges of Madison county

Had a google that sounds so tragic and painful, is it based on a true story?

hacksaw ridge is based on a true story and when there is the original people talking at the end it’s very emotional

My Sisters Keeper & Marley and Me ( even my DH 😭 at this )

The Champ is the saddest film I've ever seen. Also- beaches, my girl, steel magnolias, stand by me and sleepers.

I ugly cried the whole way through the book of Room, then thought that would immunise against the film version. Very wrong. Sobbed and sobbed.

What about never let me go? The book was very upsetting
not that I want to be upset it’s the emotion that I find cathartic!

all of these!!

But also Incendiary. Absolutely uncontrollable sobbing watching that.

And every episode of This Is Us

Schindler's list
The notebook
The English patient

So many dirty, ugly, loud tears!!

Terms of Endearment

The end of Mamma Mia 2 in the church, I start crying even before the scene starts
