Please share movie scenes that moved you. I have 2. First one is Mama Mia here we go again when Donna snd Sophie do a duet at her baby’s christening (even typing this I’m welling up ). Also another the end of Artificial Intelligence where the little robot boy has one last perfect day with his mum then he gets in the bed with her knowing she would never wake up. Never heard anyone else mention this one. Totally sobbed!

The blind side when Michael is at practice and Sandra Bullock goes over and explains how he has to protect the team how he protects the family. Then he tells the coach that Michael scored 98% in protective instincts

@QueenBitch666 oh yes.

Marley and Me, I have to leave the room at the end to cry.

About Schmidt when he receives the letter from the little bit he sponsors right at the end.

And JoJo Rabbit, the shoes of course.

Dumbo, when his mum is swinging him from her trunk in the cage

Schindler's List

Oskar Schindler as he is about to leave Germany before the Russians arrive.

"I could have got more out. I could have got more. I don't know. If I'd just... I could have got more.

This car. Goeth would have bought this car. Why did I keep the car? Ten people right there. Ten people. Ten more people.

This pin. Two people. This is gold. Two more people. He would have given me two for it, at least one. One more person. A person, Stern. For this.

I could have gotten one more person... and I didn't! And I... I didn't!"

I was going to say the restaurant scene in Stepmom too, but I can see others have said it.

The part near the end of Mary Poppins when Bert is talking to Mr Banks.
You're a man of high position, esteemed by your peers
And when your little tykes are cryin', you haven't time to dry their tears.
You've got to grind, grind, grind at that grindstone
Though childhood slips like sand through a sieve
And all too soon they've up and grown
And then they've flown
And it's too late for you to give
Just that spoonful of sugar to help the medicine go down
The medicine go down, medicine go down.
As a busy parent this gets me everytime

Tilllly · 23/10/2023 00:27

I've seen so many of these and not cried...! Did tear up at steel magnolias tho
And I cried at love story

Brief encounter breaks my heart though. Every time. I don't know why I watch it

I've cried at some tv scenes tho

The Pursuit of Happyness where they sleep in the train station

All of Beaches

Spongeeater · 23/10/2023 00:44

I watched Shadowlands on a plane and sobbed quietly

My addition to the above would be ... Dobby!

'Sunset Song' when Ewan is to be executed in the morning.for cowardice and.he talks to a friend who has volunteered to sit with him. He talks about home and sends messages to Chris about how to look after the cattle and so on. It is so moving.

AlwaysOneMissing · 23/10/2023 09:13

Just remembered another one - Bridges of Madison County.

The selflessness and forfeiting true happiness for the sake of your family. So sad because I can imagine this plays out for so many women. The acting was out of this world.

For me, it's the poignancy of it. Films based on a generation of people passing away. In 20 years time there will be no WW2 veterans left. The word "hero" is so overused these days. Hero to me is someone leading a bayonet charge against a machine gun post, whereas the modern interpretation is to come on MN and request a "hand hold" because the neighbour has put up a fence panel the wrong way round. Emotional incontinence.

Yesterday Bobby Charlton died. The last survivor of the Munich air disaster. A living link gone forever, and survived only in history books. I went on BBC news to read the tributes but instead my attention was drawn to a story about a tube driver whipping up pro-Palestine protestors. The UK as we knew it is dying. The lunatics are taking over the asylum and it's all a bit depressing if I'm honest.

I agree and I feel that's why the film was so moving. We owe everything to my grandparents' generation. Yet, when I speak to young people nowadays, it's like some of them don't know or don't care. I think this country is a very selfish place now.

I've just seen Michael Caine and Glenda Jackson in The Great Escaper. Very moving film.

TM1979 · 07/02/2024 13:10

So many..
Bridges of Madison County, the scene at the traffic lights near the end.
When a man loves a woman..Andy Garcia telling his ultra cute kid he’s going away. When she asks..You going on a trip? Oh lord😭
Pay it toward..the kids funeral. Can’t cope with that all.
Toy Story..When Jessie gets dumped somewhere.
Lassie..most scenes.
All kids films with sad dogs.
Not a film but in The Affair when Alison finally explains what happened to her son Gabriel. I bawled at that.

All of Beaches

Forgot about Pursuit of happiness. That is heartbreaking.

OrigamiOwls · 07/02/2024 13:51

Both Up and Coco for me.

Both Up and Coco for me.

Oh god yeah..Up. Heartbreaking stuff.

Did anyone see The ocean at the end of the lane at the theater last year?

When the little girl dies. No words.

Minniliscious · 07/02/2024 23:32

When Betty Spaghetti gets that telegram in a League of their Own 😢

Also, when Dotti ‘dropped the ball’ at the end - gets me every time.

Saving Mr Banks - when Emma Thompson is in floods of tears at the premiere of Mary Poppins - the realisation hitting her that Mary Poppins saved the Dad in the film. Just how she wanted her own Dad to be saved when she was a child.

Lurleene · 07/02/2024 23:45

That scene at the end of About Time when son and Dad are just strolling along on the beach together. Breaks my heart.

And also Philomena, when it is uncovered that her son searched for her just she did for him. I have seen it a couple of times and each time alarmed my DS by snotting all over him in sheer gratitude for having him.

The ending of the Book thief
"and the boy whose hair remained the colour of lemons forever". Sobbed when I read the book and the film.
