To ask what movie scene never fails to make you cry even after numerous watches

I’m watching Moana with the kids today, for the billionth time (I don’t mind as I love the film) and no matter how hard I try I always cry at the scene where the grandma tells Moana to go and find Maui, then she’s dies and her spirit fish swims into the sea and above Moana. You’d think I would be immune to it by now, but no!

What makes you cry every time?

The Perks of Being a Wallflower where he phones his sister and says that everything is all his fault.

The last 30 mins of the Green Mile.

Miss You Already

Me Before You.

When Gizmo sings in Gremlins. Makes me weep every time.

My sad bit is the bit in Highlander when Christopher Lambert and Beatie Edney are married and living in a castle and 'who wants to live forever' by Queen is playing. There are various scenes of their happy life together then she turns round and you realise that she has grown old while he is immortal...sob. It actually really makes me cry every time.

MuchBenham · 06/10/2017 16:00

@badtime yup, me too (sob)

WillowKnicks · 06/10/2017 16:04

Braveheart at the end when his friends are in the crowd, asking for mercy & then he sees his dead wife in the crowd.

Ghost, not the ending but when Whoopi Goldberg's character transforms into Sam - literally broke me after I lost my Dad, as I realised what it would have meant to touch & speak to a lost loved one, for one last time.

Both these scenes get me every single time!

gluteustothemaximus · 06/10/2017 16:05

Dumbo - mum in prison wagon cradling dumbo
UP - losing the baby
Tangled ‘you were my new dream’ ‘and you were mine’
Inside Out - scene at the end Riley crying about missing home
Brave - when merida thinks the spell hasn’t lifted saying sorry
Cinderella live action - when he mother dies. When her father dies.
Toy story 3 - end scene with Bonnie
Gladiator - end scene
Patch Adams - bit by the grave reading poem
Forrest Gump - another grave scene
Titanic - jack dying

There is more. I cry at an awful lot of films. No matter how many times watched. No matter if I prepare myself for what’s coming. My family think I’m crazy. I do proper ugly cry though Grin

gybegirl · 06/10/2017 16:05

When Sophie has to choose in Sophie's Choice. It is the most upsetting thing I think I've ever seen in a film.

Just thinking about it doesn't just make me cry, it makes me feel physically sick.

Binkybix · 06/10/2017 16:06

The end of pans labyrinth where she sees her parents again. It made me think of my mum. I was howling on the bus back from Brixton. Absolutely howling.

silkpyjamasallday · 06/10/2017 16:09

Pretty much all of the Lion King, I love it and it was my favourite film as a child but it makes me sob! We went to see the musical at the theatre and the couple sitting next to me must have though I was a loon as the moment the curtain came up with the 'nahhhh...' I was sobbing and continued throughout the whole show. Blush

I also get very emotional the whole way trough Tarzan. It's so heartbreaking when his parents are killed and when his gorilla mum loses her baby to the leopard. I'm getting teary just thinking about it!

Oh and when the firefly dies and becomes a star in The Princess and the Frog, my DM and I both cried at that bit.

HeadSpin5 · 06/10/2017 16:10

Jay55 yes! ‘Stay Gold Ponyboy’

Sophie’s Choice x a million

ComingUpTrumps · 06/10/2017 16:13

The scene where Shadow makes it home in Homeward Bound.

Oh god that always makes me cry :(

RuggerHug · 06/10/2017 16:16

The end of Cool Runnings Blush
Every damn time.

SurlyValentine · 06/10/2017 16:18

Terms of Endearment - the scene when Debra Winger is saying goodbye to her children.

Steel Magnolias - Sally Field at Shelby's funeral

Kramer vs Kramer - Dustin Hoffman in the park telling his son the result of the custody hearings.

And, apparently like the rest of the world, the first 10 minutes of UP Grin

birdsdestiny · 06/10/2017 16:20

I must be a terrible person but Up leaves me cold. DH on the other hand was once explaining the beginning to Ds and had to go off and have a little weep.

thedishonthecoffeetable · 06/10/2017 16:21

At the beginning of Beaches and Les Miserables because I know what's going to happen.

HemanOrSheRa · 06/10/2017 16:23

I've just watched the French Toast scene from Kramer vs Kramer Surly Sad. So sad.

Funnyface1 · 06/10/2017 16:24

So many films make me cry but just to name a few

Ghost
Crash
Mrs doubtfire

darceybussell · 06/10/2017 16:28

Can’t believe more people haven’t mentioned Lion!

Watched it on a flight - fucking sobbed. Just as the stewardess was asking if I wanted chicken or beef.

Clawdy · 06/10/2017 16:29

The last scene in Nowhere Boy, as he walks away up the road. I'm not a big Lennon fan, but it somehow got to me, and I wept on the way home.

Helen Burns' death - in any version I've seen, plus the book.

Also, Corpse Bride - as Emily (the Corpse Bride) leaves the church, & the happy couple who are to marry. Having seen her murder finally avenged, she is transformed into hundreds of butterflies & is free.

The very last scene at the end of Dad's Army (the series). It reminds me of my grandad, he was involved before he went away to war. He never talked about going to war but often talked about being in the Home Guard.

Schvitzing · 06/10/2017 17:00

The bit at the end of Pride where all the coaches pull up.

Member984815 · 06/10/2017 17:00

Truly madly deeply gets me every time

alltoomuchrightnow · 06/10/2017 17:02

The end of Angel-A when Andre is hanging onto her in the air to stop her going back to 'heaven' - what a beautiful iconic scene
The end of Saving Private Ryan 'have I been a good man'
Yes to the Color Purple..both being separated from sister and later reunited

alltoomuchrightnow · 06/10/2017 17:02

and The Railway Man...I don't think I could bear watch it again!
