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

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?

A Little Princess, both the book and the movie, when Sarah is told that her dad is dead. More so at the end where Sarah is about to be taken away by the police and is begging and pleading for him to help, he had lost his memory and didn't remember who she was but just at the last second he shouts "SARAH".... Waaaaaah

Forrest Gump - when Bubba dies in Vietnam. "Forrest, why did this happen?" Sad

Shawshank Redemption - when Andy and Red meet on the beach, and the way the shot pans out to the vastness of the ocean. I always well up.

My Girl - when Vada cries at Thomas J's funeral.

Oh God I feel emotional now. Sad

Beaches
The last letter scene in P.s I Love you.

All of Kez
When Bambis mum is shot in the forest

yolofish · 06/10/2017 11:54

definitely Daddy My Daddy from the Railway Children. My dad died 21 years ago and if that film is on I have to leave the room at the end!

HemanOrSheRa · 06/10/2017 11:54

ET when he's all white Ah fuck no splendid. What about when ET is dying on the riverbank? Wah! Sad

ShowMePotatoSalad · 06/10/2017 11:54

The bit in Dumbo when Dumbo reunited with his Mum and she swings him and Baby Mine is playing.

OK now I'm crying

mintbiscuit · 06/10/2017 11:55

Love story. Scene at the end where ryan o'neal is leaving hospital after jen dying. He sees his arsehole dad who tries to apologise and O'neal says "Don't. Love means never having to say you're sorry".

Actually film makes me blub all the way through!

JayZed · 06/10/2017 11:57

Les mis when Eponine sings about being in love with Marius.. whilst dying in his arms, and now I'm welling up. Any film when an animal dies

AndNoneForGretchenWieners · 06/10/2017 11:57

The bit in Phantom of the Opera where Christine wades into the lake and kisses Erik.

HemanOrSheRa · 06/10/2017 11:57

Cinema paradiso, when he's sitting in the cinema with his eyes glistening

jaseyraex · 06/10/2017 11:58

Mufasa dying in The Lion King will never not make me cry.
The Fault In Our Stars makes me cry at numerous points. As does My Sisters Keeper.

MatildaTheCat · 06/10/2017 11:58

Shadowlands when Anthony Hopkins breaks down after his wife's death. Proper sobbing every time.

LuckyAmy1986 · 06/10/2017 11:58

Marley and me after she loses the baby
First ten minutes of up
First ten minutes of the impossible
Pretty much all of a dogs purpose

LuckyAmy1986 · 06/10/2017 11:59

I forgot about the dumbo scene. Heartbreaking!

elisaveta · 06/10/2017 11:59

When Matthew dies in Anne of Green Gables, and she remembers him saying to her: 'My girl, my girl that I'm proud of.'

EvilDoctorBallerinaVampireDuck · 06/10/2017 12:00

From Toy Story 3: "What? You want your mommy back? She never loved you." Bastard bear.

ofshoes · 06/10/2017 12:00

George Bailey's break down scene when he gets angry at the kids. Floods of tears every time.

OneFlewOverTheDodosNest · 06/10/2017 12:01

Rhynswynd - yes and one summer E4 played that clip at every advert break for British Summer of Film and I kept having to change the channel!
