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?

Any scene with the boy who is the concentration camp in 'The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas'.

Really dislike films where it feels like you're being emotionally manipulated...

Films with brilliant heart for me ;

Railway man
Truly madly deeply
Shadowlands

As folk have mentioned above, the betrayal scene in love actually - for sheer brilliant acting of Emma thompson

Most Tom Hanks films
The Color Purple
Good Will Hunting
Toy Story 2&3
The English Patient
Philadelphia

I just clicked on the link to allow me to watch the first 10 minutes of Up and it didn't make me sad I kept waiting for the bit which was going to put a tear in my eye but it never came.

I felt sorry for the man when you see his wife's empty side of the bed and when he's eating his breakfast on his own but I didn't feel emotional over it.

Considering how many people gave mentioned that opening scene in this thread I now fear I'm a heartless Ice Queen for not being affected by it

Ds (6) and I were both slightly traumatised towards the end of Inside Out. He's like that with a few films and either refuses to watch them again or asks me to fast forward through the sad bits.

Ghost is one that always gets me for some reason. And Top gun when Goose dies. In fact anything when death occurs. My Girl is another one. I'm actually completely hopeless with sad films.

Land before time when Littlefoots mother dies

Oh yes this one too! And The Good Dinosaur when the father gets washed away (another film ds now refuses to watch, bless him).

The scene in Frozen where you realise Anna's true love is her sister.

I'm sure these have been mentioned already, but:

Bobbie meeting her father from the train at the end of The Railway Children.

The first 10 minutes of Up, as well as the bit where he finds that Ellie has finished her Adventure Book with pictures from their life together.

Waaaaah!

Top Gun when Goose dies.

Return of the Jedi when the ewok dies.

Apollo 13 when the astronauts return home.

Queen most people probably cry at the miscarriage scene, especially if they can relate

The Power of One when P.K.(Simon Fenton) finds that Geel Piet (Morgan Freeman) has been beaten. He then dies in P.K's arms. I bawl, every time and I've seen the film countless times.

The Snowman - when he has melted. I used to cry as a kid and hadn't seen it for years then DD was watching when she was about 3 and I had to leave the room as I was welling up!

*Queen, most people probably cry at the miscarriage scene, especially if they can relate."

I had a miscarriage about 2 years ago which is why I was expecting to feel upset because previous posters had mentioned a miscarriage in the Intro but it didn't get to me at all.

I think it's because it's an animation though. If it had been real people acting out that story and showing true human emotion I think I would have found it very upsetting.

If we're adding Tv, then I'll add 'We're going on a bear hunt.' Last Xmas watching when the bear was following them home to be friends and then they shut the door on him, the last scene of him wandering back to his cave alone. I was inconsolable for hours.

Film wise a PP mentioned LOTR. Oh my Lordy, Return Of The King. I was distraught. I was 15 and had been a LOTR devotee for 3 years. The scene where they realise Frodo is leaving them kills me every time. After watching all they had been through and then seeing their realisation dawning broke me.

Haachi?? That's hell in a hand basket right there, that took weeks to recover from.

The odd life of Timothy Green did it too.

And the first time I watched Pearl Harbor when Danny dies and Rafe's saying

'You're going to be a father Danny!'

'No Rafe, you are.'

I cried off my mud face mask.

Billy Elliot when he reads out the letter. Makes me properly cry that one! And even more so when seeing it at the west end.

I'm embarrassed to say that I cry during a few scenes of Free Willy.

Scene in Closer where Jude Law is breaking up with Natalie Portman because he's in love with Julia Roberts. He says "of course I love you, I hate hurting you", and she just cries "then why are you?" Gets me every time....

Oh and the English Patient when he's walking down the mountain with her body in his arms just sobbing.... Aaargh 😭

Fortunately... I thought I had seen UP but I really missed your utube bit. Thanks for sharing. I'm now in bits!!

Well I'm another vote for the traumatic beginning of 'Up'

Marley & me, beaches, The Mask, Elephant man. So many!

When the Wind Blows. I forgot how much it got to me, and picked up the book from a friend's bookshelf while round for dinner. Ugly sobbed through dessert, and now I'm not allowed to read the book or watch the animation again.

Queen - I'm with you on the UP front

I get that it's sad, and poignant. But it does not make me actually cry or feel teary.

Dh and I saw hacksaw ridge at the cinema by default as we got the timings wrong for the film we wanted to see. It was horrific awful gruesome & not my kind of film. The blowing up of endless young boys & men. I watched the film through my fingers until the end then sobbed when I read how many soldiers had been saved by one man who refused to carry a weapon. I'm glad I saw the film but I will never ever watch it again.
