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?

One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest - Billy's death, every part with Chief, McMurphy at the end (book is better though)
Inside Out - the thought of all those lost memories! What have I forgotten? What will my daughter forget?! Sob!

Another one....the scene in inside out when bingbong doesn’t go on the rocket so joy can escape. As he disappears he says ‘take Riley to the moon for me...’

Oliver, Oliver Reed's Bill Sykes when he kills Nancy....then he goes for Bullseye (his dog) when he tries to follow him as he runs away. NOOOOO!

When Kris Kringle (Dickie Attenburgh) uses ASL to "talk" with the little deaf girl in the remake of Miracle on 34th Street.

Top gun losing Goose gets me every single time.

Land before time when Littlefoots mother dies

Armageddon when Bruce stays on the asteroid

Dumbo when he visits his mother in the cage

Black Beauty when Ginger dies

Another for me is the English Patient when Ralph Fiennes goes back to the desert for Kristin Scott Thomas but of course she is dead and the music! So very moving.
Not a film but in the last episode of the tv series Quantum Leap we learn that Sam never got to go home. It still makes me sad to think of it now and that was years ago!

Blood Diamond, when Leonardo Di Caprio's character is dying and he phones the woman and ends with "I'm right where I'm supposed to be." Arrrghhh, leaky eyes.

baggypants I think you’re referring to “The Last Snows Of Spring”

I saw it in the cinema with my Grandma and it was a double bill with another weepy. I remember it being a wee lad with leukaemia but I was tiny myself when I saw it so could be wrong.

Mrs Jumbo in Dumbo
Mask starring Cher when Rocky gets let down by his friend about travelling
Teen movie Catholic Boys when Danni is taken away

There was another 70s film called Sunshine I watched as a child that affected me for years.

Oh also I am Legend when Will Smith's character realises his dog has become a zombie and has to kill it. The scene makes me howl, especially the use of Three Little Birds by Bob Marley.

Hippo
Yep thats awful and at the end when he stays behind...wahhhhhhh

The end of The Way We Were. Sniff.

P.s. I love you...most of it and Ghost ...again most of it and even more so Patrick really has gon.

gone

I always sob my way through Truly Madly Deeply but even more so in the scene when Juliet Stephenson is playing the piano, Alan Rickman's ghost appears behind her, accompanying her on the cello. She has a sudden realisation, turns and goes through emotional turmoil. Such fantastic acting from both of them.

Just remembered another one, Peggy Sue got married the scene where she goes back in time and sees her late mother and she is tot telling her how much she loves her.

thank you, Salsmum. I was just trying to think of that one . I watched it again recently and it just killed me..when Peggy Sue goes back in time to see her grandparents again too. I was just blubbing as wish I could do that with mine.

Also - the scenes in What Dreams May Come where Robin Williams' character realises that the Cuba Gooding Jnr character is his son..and the air hostess is his daughter

That dog film with the Akita and Richard Gere Hatchi ?..where the dog is waiting outside the station for his master

Shelby's funeral in steel magnolias gets me every time. Just beautifully acted and then the humour at the end. Laughter through tears is my favourite emotion.

Me before you when Will goes to dignitas. So many tears.

The Snowman..... when the little boy gets up to find his friend is just a melted pile of snow 😢

Another one : In 1995s "a little princess" when her father dies and she cries herself to sleep in the attic 😰

Pretty much all of the above especially The Railway Children and Marley and Me. Also cried in the cinema at All Dogs go to Heaven.
Also - Stand by Me and Sleepers.

Stand By Me and Sleepers are harrowing because they are true. Sleepers is awful in terms of child abuse.. I couldn't watch or read it again.
The scene that gets me in Stand By Me is Gordy's dream and his dad saying it should have been him who died and not his brother

Oh yes to The Railway Children - 'Daddy, my Daddy!' finishes me off.
