Toy Story 3.

I just can't.

Same , I remember us watching it as a family at the cinema. Thank God it was 3D as we were all sporting the glasses still on the way out , we were a mess .

The Railway Children...
At the end when Bobby wanders to the train station as she has a strange feeling.
"Daddy...that's my Daddy"

Absolutely this too!

Both quite old but fabulous - Anthony Hopkins in Shadowlands is outstanding 🥰

Gosh,yes that is a tearjerker.
My mother always despaired whenever Lassie or the littlest hobo started because that's all it would take to set me off as a child haha.

Pigeonqueen · 13/04/2024 23:16

Toy Story 3 is a killer if you have a dd who is about to go to university. 100 do not recommend. 🥹😬🤔🤣

Elephant Man
Eight Below Zero

Also the bit in “inside out” where bing bong sacrifices himself.

daisydoo32 · 13/04/2024 23:19

Legends of the fall, what a film! Not seen it in years but always stuck with me. Brad Pitt is such a great character in it.

The Green Mile for me.
And Edward Scissorhands. Hate how he ends up alone again.
Stepmom is also upsetting.
One Day (the new Netflix version) had me in full snotty tears. Even though I knew from the start what was coming I still hoped it wouldn't.

Freeasabird76 · 13/04/2024 23:20

There are so many you've all listed that I haven't seen, Toy story1,2 or 3(in my defence my 2 girls were never interested)
Interstellar,the railway children,a monster calls etc.
Took my girls to see inside out at the cinema SPOILER
and out of the 3 of us it was me who broke down crying over Bing Bong.
Yes yes to Dogs purpose,my youngest ugly cries at this,she breaks my heart how bad she gets but still insists on repeating it.

The Colour Purple.

Inside out made me cry at work
My boss put it on at Christmas as we were quiet and I hadn't t seen it before. Ended up sniffing into a tissue with him feeling guilty!
