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?

The bit in It's a Wonderful Life where Mr Gower is hitting George in the ear. Also the bit where George shouts at his kids.

Same two bits, every bloody time.

YY to Love Actually and the betrayal scene with (snape) whathischops sexy actor. Emma T is fab. The end of that folk with everyone hugging.

I am an emotional wreck with most films so don't watch the tear jerker. DH bought (by mistake) UP after my miscarriage and it killed me 😥

Pretty much all of AI, and I’m not usually a weeper, but that film has me ugly crying every time; the bit where he’s abandoned in the woods and the ‘one last day’ with his mum which has been his constant wish for thousands of years... bawling

Actually...just thinking about it has just made me well up...think it’s cos I’ve just had such a lovely day with my own son!

Will never watch AI again. It was so brutal. I was a wreck just a blubbing mess.

I don't think anybody else has mentioned Lorenzo's oil? When Susan Sarandon is telling Lorenzo that if this is too much he should fly away to baby Jesus and mommy and daddy will be ok....

Mine that's been for years is the animated 101 Dalmations, when Perdita gets the puppies back. She bows down in the snow and says ' my darlings, my darlings....'. And I howl.

I also stupidly watched Marley and Me when I'd been told my baby I was 31 weeks pregnant wouldn't survive birth. She did and is a healthy 4 year old but I'd never watch it again. Cried till I was violently sick.

And obvs The Railway Children.

And Bambi. Never ever will I watch it again.

Mike Leigh's Secrets and Lies when Brenda Blethwyn reveals her secret child that she had adopted, after which her brother and SIL disclose that they're unable to have children. It's when Timothy Spall says,"Secrets and Lies... we're all in pain' that I can't hold the tears back. Such a beautiful film.

Awakenings with Robin Williams and Robert de Niro - I remember sobbing so hard I couldn't breathe through that.

Agree with Lorenzo's Oil, I was very young when I watched that and it really upset me.

The Notebook, I still can't watch it all the way through for fear of snot misery.

Too many to mention really. I cry at most movies. Even reading the synopses of movies distresses me. I could never bring myself to watch The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas or Life Is Beautiful, it would fuck with my head way too much

Shawshank Redemption when Andy plays the Mozart record as the inmates are exercising in the yard. Every single time I blub and even if I hear the track I'm off.

Also Railway Children ending...

Toy story 3. Where Andy gives them up

TOy story 3
Inside out

Man, talk about spoiler alert for films on this thread haha!

The Duchess, having to give away her baby.
Satine dying in Moulin Rouge.
Dog being killed in I Am Legend.
Brokeback Mountain, Jacks death
When the Snowman has melted.
Big Hero Six when the brother dies, and again when the robot dies.
The last 20-ish mins of Me Before You.
The deaths in Romeo + Juliet.
John Coffey's death in The Green Mile.
Rose dying, and seeing everyone on the Titanic again who had died.
When Allie's dad says Noah is trash in The Notebook, and again when she can't remember him and attacks him, and when they die... just most of that film.
Mufasa's death, with Simba trying to wake him.
The beginning of Up.
The beginning of P.S. I Love You, just after he's died.

I'm sure there's more, I cry at the drop of a hat. I cried at Spiderman 2! Love that cannot be, death in general, death of animals even worse! Films which are too sad with not enough happy bits to even it out, I avoid watching ever again if I can help it :O

Never even finished Marley and Me as once I realised the dog was ill, I ran out of the room and didn't go back!

Lion, every single bit of it :( but mostly the end when he finds out about his brother. It's heartbreaking to watch but it's an amazing story.

It's a Wonderful Life: "A toast to my big brother George: the richest man in town" I watch it every Christmas and really don't know why I do it to myself

Also the scene in Schindlers List where Oskar grieves for those he could have saved by selling his gold pin: "At least one. He would've given me one. One more. One more person ..."

I can't watch Lion PonderLand, I absolutely love Dev Patel but he looks very much like my younger brother who died 5 years ago - I desperately want to watch it but fear I may be absolutely distraught watching it, both for the storyline itself and Dev's similarity to my bro!

That being said, if my brother were alive today, he would tell me to get a hold of myself and just bloody watch it...

This thread has wrecked me.

I'll add: let's keep going, Thelma. Sob!

Lion- when he is reunited and discover what happens. Read the book after and still got teary!

Saving Mr banks..'i dropped the pears' and then clips at the end especially Feed the birds music.

The orphanage..when she realises what actually happened to her son and the scenes that follow.

Sixth sense...after he realises and is taking to his wife and the video plays..

Most Disney!

The end of Shawshank Redemption but that''s happy tears.
The end of Running On Empty where they leave their son alone with his bike and drive away singing.
The end of Gallipoli where the young Mel Gibson is desperately running along the trench with the message but doesn'tget there in time.
As for most of Watership Down...

gluteus has reminded me that I cried in the cinema (much to DD's embarrassment) at Riley's speech about moving 'cos I felt the same as an adult

The Circle of Life bit in the Lion King as well.

The Book Thief when the younger brother dies on the train and the mother and sister bury his little body next to the stationary train. It's freezing cold and snow/ ice everywhere. One of the most painful scenes I've ever watched. Wished I'd never watched it -extremely harrowing .😭

Watership Down should come with a public health warning. Most definitely top of the list of films I will never ever watch again.

Oh 'let's keep going!'

Me too!

God, most of these (though not all). Increasingly picky about the films I watch because I just can't handle most of this sort of thing.

Silent Runnings - I only saw about the last half hour, once, about 15 years ago on BBC2 I think. I cried so hard I thought my face was going to come off. I couldn't imagine how somebody had thought of that story, written it down, caused the film to be made and survived tbh.

When Charlotte dies 🕷😭😭😭😭
