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

[CherryChasingDotMuncher]

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?

OH and the film about Steven Hawkins life, the theory of everything, Beautiful and heartbreaking.

The Moana scene gets me too but not as much as the final scene in Philadelphia where they show the video of him as a child. Sob!

And recently the funeral in 'I, Daniel Blake'.

The end of Toy Story 3 when Andy gives his toys to the little girl and plays with them for one last time... Welling up now thinking about it

This.

The incinerator scene starts me off when they hold hands, but this scene completely finishes me!!

Toy Story was the first ever film we took DS to see at the cinema. When TS3 came out, DS was Uni age so it really hit a nerve.

Plenty of people at the end of the film sat surreptitiously wiping their eyes in the cinema.

Oh and the end of The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas gave me PTSD!! Childrens film, my arse!

Trails of snot from that one!

Life is Beautiful. All of it, but especially when he finds the gramophone and plays his wife’s song into the women’s camp, and then the end, where I properly howl every time.

Also Lion. Dear God. The entire first half of that film I was in pieces.

The little girl in the red coat in Schindler's List

What? I saw Titanic in the cinema, a few times on TV. How could I not realise Rose died at the end. I thought she was asleep. Though I always found the saddest part of the the film the two old people who lie down on the bed together to drown.

Wall-e - particularly when Eve goes into directive mode and he tries to show her all his special things. And then when his memory is wiped.

The scene in Its A Wonderful Life that slays me, is when George has just got married and used his savings to prevent a run on the bank thus saying goodbye to his dream of travelling. And they set up the falling down house all nice for him to come home to.

Plus of course up etc. I cry very easily though. I cried at Beauty & The Beast (the animated version), The Goonies, pretty much if it you could cry at it then I have. Our shorthand for a weepy is not actually a film though, it was a wildlife documentary showing a baby elephant grieving its mother. Oh my goodness. I think I actually scared boyfriend with how much that made me cry. And then every time he referred to it or I tried to explain why it had touched me so much I only got as far as 'the baby elephant' before I started crying again. So the baby elephant is now the measure for exactly how weepy something might be.

To be paraphrase Oscar Wilde, you would need a heart of stone not to laugh at the death of Dobby the elf.

The end of Withnail and I always upsets me massively.

In the Neverending Story, when the horse sinks into the swamp of despair.

I'm now crying at this thread sob
Although to be fair I cry very easily!

For me the end of Homeward Bound ruins me.

Steel Magnolias, the funeral scene.

I remember when I first watched The Outsiders I sobbed. Big fat unstoppable tears. My phone rang and I couldn't actually talk, I was crying so much.

The end of Pete's dragon when all the other dragons are there. The end of 50 first dates 😭

When Mark Green dies in ER. I just howled and it took me a good week to stop feeling sad about it. The bit at the end of the episode where the ER is empty and I think he's there in his mind as he goes and it's representing his last moments

The end of both Railway Children
Up.
The end of Nanny Mcphee and The Big Bang.
The end of International Velvet.
Dear Frankie (most of it)

There's a film called Thunderbolt and Lightfoot with very young Clint Eastwood and Jeff Bridges. Probably not that well known these days, but what happens to Jeff Bridges at the end had me so distraught that I couldn't eat my Sunday Dinner and it's one of the few times I remember my Dad being kind to me because he loved that film too and totally got why I was crying.

Beaches aswell . I can't listen to the wind beneath my wings cos I cry Everytime

Hotel Rwanda - pretty much cried from the beginning as I knew the theme was genocide and what will come, and continued crying to the end

Oh my God MsGameandWatching - I just randomly remembered Mark dying the other day - got all misty eyed just thinking about it.

Mine is in The Incredibles when the kids stow away on the plane, they get locked onto by the missiles and the Mum (love Holly Hunter!) tries to make the baddies call off the attack saying "there are children aboard, disengage your attack, repeat, there are children aboard, abort abort!" and when the missiles hit she just grabs them and wraps herself round them to take the blast.

She really manages to convey that panic you feel when your children are in danger.

Kramer vs Kramer the whole of the second half.

Railway Children obvs

Sense and Sensibility when Hugh Grant tells Emma Thompson that he loves her. Just when she’s resigned to her life of sadness and poverty. And she sobs.

The Color Purple scene when the sisters find each other again. Oh god I’m off just at the thought of that.

Gosh that film, that takes me back so sad.
I was inconsolable too when Mark died. Can't listen to that song without filling up and re-watching it on my head. (Erm or thinking about it ahem ahem but bit of a cough making my eyes water there🤔)

In my head for goodness sake!

Another vote for Goodbye Mr Tom when the boy learns how to ride the bike and he says "look daddy I'm doing it daddy"

The Pianist...mostly throughout.

The end of Planes Trains and Automobiles

In my head for goodness sake.
