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 land before time
Tears were streaming down my face and DS is like "mom, are you ok??"
That part where little foot thinks the shadow is his mother and then realizes.."and then little foot knew he was alone" 😭😭

A.I with Haley Joel osment

Sixth sense when he's telling his mom about his grandmother visiting him at the end

Fuck I seem to have parental issues

The end of "I, Daniel Blake"

So many of these. Especially the opening of Up and most of Les Mis.

The end of Pay it Forward really gets me. I watched it with my dad and he had tears in his eyes too.

If anyone really fancies a bit of emotional self-flagellation then watch Haatchi. Sooo sad. I don’t even like dogs and I cried all the way through 😂

Not a film but when Marshall’s dad dies in How I met your mother and he holds lily and goes I’m not ready for this

Marley and me is a given as well though, surely?

Oh and bizarrely Despicable Me 2 when the minions sing (?!) I Swear when Grubgetd married! I get a lump in my throat at that scene

@Labtest7

Omg I'd forgotten about the Champ 😭😭

Oh god should definitely not have read this when feeling slightly emotional!

Another one for Truly Madly Deeply, especially the part near the end where Alan Rickman asks her to translate the Spanish poem.

Kramer vs Kramer kills me pretty much all the way through. Something about the court scene always especially gets me when Dustin Hoffman's lawyer is grilling Meryl Streep's character and demands "were you a failure at the one most important personal relationship in your life?" She starts crying and nods but in the background sees Hoffman shaking his head and mouthing "no". Plus actually just about every scene with the little boy just breaks my heart.

I am going to have to immediately go watch something mindless and funny before I sob myself to sleep!

Beaches, the scene towards the end where Hillary is saying goodbye to her daughter.

My sisters keeper when she reveals the real reason she was applying for medical emancipation

Atonement.... Come back to me

The scene in Cabaret where Sally is stood up by her father. So beautifully acted, Liza Minnelli is such an underated actress. "The poor man, he tries to love me but the truth is (sobs), the truth is that he just doesn't care". Really hits a nerve with me.

Last Exit To Brooklyn, the gang-bang in the alley when Jennifer Jason Lee's character's lover dies. Absolutely shredding.

Was oddly dry eyed through Speilberg's War Horse but started bawling from the moment the foal puppet enters during the stage show.

Not a film, but cry every time I read God of Small Things.

Oh, and Never Let Me Go, the scene with Keira Knightly's organ transplant, utterly harrowing.

Schindler's List and Sophie's Choice do not fit this category because I will never watch them again. Can't put myself through it. Destroyed me.

For me it is A.I. The quote ‘I want to be a real boy’ just brings tears to my eyes every time. Lovely film but makes me sob.

In The Help when Skeeter finds out what happened to her maid

All of 12 years a slave

Also all of Rabbit Proof Fence. I had to watch it again because the first time I cried so much I got a headache.

Am clearly an emotional masochist also just thought of the ending to Vanilla Sky (obvious spoilers).

"I'll find you again."
"In another life when we are both cats."

The part in Jack and Sarah where Jack comes down the stairs with the baby and puts on the song "Stars" by Simply Red, which was the last song he and his wife had listened to before she did. When he starts crying, I start crying.

Richard E. Grant is a fantastic actor.

Inside Out! I cried through most of it and I am NOT a cryer. It just really hit home how short a time my daughters will be small for. When the islands of personality crumble away and are gone forever also the imaginary elephant friend that she can't remember any more so he's abandoned in her memories... I can't watch it again!

E.T. - end where he points to elliotts heart and says 'I'll always be right here'

Armageddon - where Bruce sacrifices himself so hes daughter can be happy with ben affleck.

They always make me properly cry

If we're doing TV shows too...

Victoria series 1

When she is giving birth. Although not a long scene, she seemed so vulnerable and genuinely terrified. It felt so real to me. I don't think I've ever cried at a TV show/film before. I couldn't stop sobbing at this.

To be honest I cry at most things, I've cried at the majority of episodes of Grey's Anatomy, especially the first few series.

Films though:

The beginning of UP

The beginning of Finding Nemo when Marlin realised that his wife is dead and he only has one baby left

The 'do you wanna build a snowman' scene in Frozen - I watched it for the first time a few months after my sister died and the 'I never see you anymore... it's like you've gone away' bit hurts my heart.

A dog's purpose - totally predictable film but sobbed from beginning to end, and even got a tear from DH

The Emma Thompson betrayal scene in Love Actually is just perfection

The end of The Curious Case of Benjamin Button where he dies and the clock stops

Inside Out - mainly because I first watched it when I was suffering from depression and it utterly summed up what was happening in my head, but the one scene in it that really got me was the Bing Bong scene in the memory dump where he sacrifices himself so that Joy can get back out.

Ghost makes me sob all the way through

The ending of Sliding doors.

Pretty much any film where families are torn apart or someone (or an animal) dies.

Love the end of 'Oblivion' too when Tom Cruise finds his wife again.

(and when he tricks her and then he and Morgan Freeman hold the nuke together) Blub blub..

I went to the cinema to see titanic at age 16. I absolutely sobbed my heart out so loudly, all through the end, on the way out, and on the bus journey on the way home. I was a mess!

DH has only ever cried at one film, the champ.

End scene in Schindler’s list when he realises he could have saved more people. And the very end when the real survivors all come and put stones on Schindler’s grave.

As a child I always cried when The Snowman melted.

Lion king when he looks at the stars and says ‘you said you’d always be there for me!’

Forgot to add....
The film signs....when he says 'swing away' it gives me goosebumps and makes me tear up

I’ve just read this thread and am welling up, dp is giving me odd looks ! One that springs to mind is Mama, the scene at the end where the younger sister stays and therefore dies with the evil spirit just kills me.

Road to Terabitha - I did not see the death coming and blubbed through the rest of the movie.

Atonement when you realise how one lie can destroy lives.

I am relieved to see others also cried at the Toy Story 3 scene when Andy gives away his toys.

Pans Labyrinth. I could go on.
