The 100, when the adults are volunteering to die to help save the rest of the ark.

Guardians of the galaxy 2, when the ravagers come out to give Yondu a proper send off.

Every time I see it. Every time I tear up a little

not a TV show but Derek Redmond Olympics 1992. He was a brilliant but injury dogged runner but in 1992 he was finally fit for the Olympic 400m. He started the race but his hamstring went & he had to pull up. He collapsed down into the track as the others finished but then got up & began to limp around the track determined to finish. The officials tried to stop him so his dad ran into the track to help him & together they finished the race. I bawl every single time I see it

FFS I mean this one!

I think most of mine have been mentioned. One that hasn’t is the scene in Glee just after Finn’s death where Rachel sings ‘To Make You Feel My Love’:

The actor who played Finn had just died in real life, so all the cast’s reactions are genuine grief. It’s almost unbearable to watch.

It's a sin when Colin and Ritchie die.

Whyisitdarkalready · 31/10/2022 19:15

Inside out Pixar film when Bing Bong sacrifices himself so that Joy can fly further. Another Pixar film Up when they find out they can't have children.

It's a sin makes me sob.

PaperBlinds · 31/10/2022 19:22

Oh that's set me off!

ladygindiva · 31/10/2022 19:28

Agree with lots of these. Also in finding Neverland when young Freddie highmore (?) Kicks off with his grief. Superb acting by the kid, utterly breaks my heart every time.

@Hbh17 beat me to it! The end of Paddington 2 makes me well up everytime. Love the Repair shop but could they please stop making everyone cry because then I join in...

Good night Mr Tom, when he’s holding his baby sister locked in the cupboard.

The bit that gets me is when he runs in to the church after his friend dies, "I hate you God, I really hate you". OMG that poor child.

Saw it as a child and it totally traumatised me...

And how could I forget Blackadder Goes Forth. A good time of year to watch. We all know the episode of course. Bloody well done.

David Tennant’s “reward” and regeneration in Doctor Who.

Elwynsmum · 31/10/2022 23:22

And another Dr Who one, when Kate is rescued by the cyber man we assume must be The Brigadier and Peter Capaldi’s doctor salutes him.

I have 2 ridiculous ones... When Sam turns up at the end of Never been kissed and when Alex turns up at the end of The Lake house. I never ever cry but these 2 make me a sobbing mess.

peaceandove · 01/11/2022 10:33

The end of Gladiator, where Maximus is dying and he dreams that he's walking towards his home and can see his dead wife & son waiting for him in the distance.

@Theeyeballsinthesky That runner with his dad has ruined me.
