Emotional films you can barely get through

[Hyvsvaar]

Life is beautiful…can’t discuss without getting teary

i need to expand
I also flipping love Amelie and a very long engagement

Free willy
ET
homeward bound
watership down
the lion king( i fast forward that part)

A walk to remember

The Elephant Man / despite being a David Lynch film it's really well done and heartbreaking!

A Star is Born (most recent version) makes me properly sob.

Marley and Me
The Theory of Everything
The Good Dinosaur

Oh I’ve cried at a few of these ( including Watership Down and Free Willy) but I cried most dramatically at Bridges of Madison County.

Dallas buyers club.
The boy in the striped pyjamas.
The green mile.
Philadelphia.

An Affair to Remember

If they ever make a film of Miss Saigon, I don't think I could watch it at the cinema. I cried when I saw it in the theatre, and again when I saw the 25th anniversary broadcast at the cinema. Her nightmare, Bui Doi, the ending... basically the entire second half.

Schindler's list
Watership down
United 93
Train to aushwitz

Room, Grave of the fireflies and A dogs journey are the only films not already mentioned that had me bawling for days afterwards. I cried a bit at these too:

The time travellers wife
Me before you
When Marnie was there
The boy in the striped pyjamas
Charlie St Cloud

@Deguster 😂

The green mile

Life is Beautiful
About Time
The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas
Sophie’s Choice
The Champ
Meet Joe Black

Waterloo Bridge.

I do not watch any films with animal main characters. Reading a few of these posts have made me tear up.

Cold Mountain

Dog, Hatchiko, any dog film really

Ghost

Some brilliant films on here…

No one has mentioned Sommersby (Richard Gere & Jodie Foster)

• very under-related

I bloody love Sommersby. Nobody ever mentions it!

I doubly cry at that because I remember watching it in hospital while one of my DC was in SCBU 😢

Oh God I forgot The Pursuit of Happyness. I've heard it referred to as a feel-good film - how??. I wanted to die after seeing it and certainly never want to see it again.

The notebook! Watched it, loved it but will never watch it again. The couple reminded me of my parents & I just couldn't cope with it at all. My parents are married 52 years & adore each other. Still hold hands when out walking. Would do anything for each other. They even worked together before they retired. I can't imagine one without the other & when I do it breaks my heart. The notebook made me cry so much the next day my eyes were still swollen. I'm selling up here now just thinking about it.

All of them. And I bet I'm not alone. I now don't watch films, the catharsis isn't a relief for me it's an added trauma. Might be a being-a-mother / perimenopause thing. You will rarely find me in front of the telly unless it's something completely benign (Bake Off)... and even then if they do contestants' backstories I will tear up. Even adverts make me cry. Last time I went to the cinema I ended up under the seat on the disgusting floor because I couldn't bear it.

Portrait of a Lady on fire. Such a beautiful film about love and loss.

Anyone seen Parenthood with Steve Martin?
Really emotional movie. So many great parts.
The son diagnosed with a form of autism.The grandmother talking about life being a rollercoaster.
The ending when the school play goes wrong, so funny but emotional too.
It still stands the test of time today.

Evelyn

Piers brosnan in it. About a man trying to bring up his kids. Based on true story. Cried buckets

Who will love my children
Madam X
Imitation of life

The way we weee

The way we weee?? 😁

It's trashy but Marley and Me. I cry every time I see that film
