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?

Awe wow gloria I hadn't seen your post. Definitely a great scene . Glad that someone else feels the same. People always laugh when I am talk about It

Somersby with Richard Gere and Jodie Foster, when she says she knows he's not her husband because "I never loved him the way I love you".
Monsters inc when Sully has to say goodbye to Boo and the song in Beauty and the Beast. Dd had it on the vcr when I received my first letter home from dh when he was away with the army.

This isn't a good post to read before going to bed massive lump in throat thinking of some of these films.

Lion king - musafa dying
My girl - glasses scene

Meet joe black end scene and a few scenes in legends of the fall.

Imitation of life - end scene where the daughter is running to her mothers coffin and the scene where the mum pretends to be a mama.

End of incredible journey don’t even need to watch the film just the last five minutes and I’m off 😢

ordinarymumnat · 08/10/2017 00:34

mercury rising: I think any scene with the simon (the kid), and the end scene with Jeffries (Bruce Willis) with Simon.

Welshwabbit · 08/10/2017 01:43

Very many of these because I cry at literally anything. But I don't think these have been mentioned so far...

The bit in In the Name of the Father when Emma Thompson says that the evidence that cleared themy was marked not to be shown to the defence. This may be why I became a lawyer.

The bit in Four Weddings and a Funeral when Kristin Scott Thomas tells Hugh Grant she loves him ("friends isn't bad...friends is quite something")

ET ending when he is going home and he looks to Elliot points to his heart and says 'ouch'

morningtoncrescent62 · 08/10/2017 04:22

The end of West Side Story. All those wasted young lives.

And the resurrection stone scene in the final Harry Potter film - the acting is terrible but it still gets me every time.

Someone upthread mentioned The Dam Busters. I agree - the bit that really gets me is when the superior officer says he has letters to write, and we know he's going to write to the families of those who didn't return. On the subject of wartime movies, Conspiracy of Hearts has me sobbing almost from start to finish, and there's also Julia with lots of weepy moments, the worst being when Lilian says goodbye to Julia in the cafe and we know they'll never see each other again.

Has anyone mentioned Wreck It Ralph? God that end scene where he saves the little girl trapped in the computer game Blush

PennyDreadfull · 08/10/2017 10:54

And Lady in the Water - the healing scene. I just watched it again and now I'm sobbing.

Black hawk down where the helicopter crashes and the pilots can’t escape the mob coming to kill them

SuperTrumper · 08/10/2017 11:45

The end of titanic when Rose as the old lady is dreaming and she meets Jack by the clock. Gets me every time!

At the end of Con Air when Cameron Poe meets his daughter for the first time and gives her the bunny

PixieBigShoes · 08/10/2017 11:46

The end of Blackadder Goes Forth - every time!

AccidentalyRunToWindsor · 08/10/2017 11:51

I'm banned from watching Marley and Me- DH can't cope with the hysterical sobbing.

NoKidsTwoCats · 08/10/2017 11:54

The opening montage in Up.

A the bits in Forrest Gump: 'he got a daddy named Forrest too?' and 'I miss you, Jenny'.

Both incredible films that make me bawl uncontrollably every time.

AccidentalyRunToWindsor · 08/10/2017 11:54

@bimbobaggins me too! I sob as they carry it over the line. It's not just you.

AccidentalyRunToWindsor · 08/10/2017 11:56

The boy in the striped pyjamas. Full on sobbing at that one. I've never watched it again.

NoKidsTwoCats · 08/10/2017 12:02

Omg how could I forget:

Lion - all the way through. I watched it on a flight and it was so embarrassing trying not to audibly sob in public

Big Fish - such a beautiful story and that ending really does me in

bimbobaggins · 08/10/2017 12:37

Wow gloria and accidentally , I think I've finally found my people

SheGotOffThePlane · 08/10/2017 12:56

How could I forget about Castaway when Wilson floats away.

wrenika · 08/10/2017 13:34

The ending of Viharsarok. It makes me bawl.

gloriawasright · 08/10/2017 14:34

@bimbobaggins
It's made even more poignant because of John candy.he was such a good actor .all his films were great.
I can't watch lone survivor without blubbing .the fact that it's a true story ,and what those guys went through to survive was just incredible ,the title gives the end away so I'm not spoiling anything there .
The real survivor ( Marcus luttrell ) has a small part in the movie ,even seeing him Reduces me to tears .
And the closing credits for cars has a little montage of characters voiced by Joe ranft who died .it is just so touching .you have to watch right to the end or you miss it .its a lovely tribute to him .

SuperTrumper · 08/10/2017 14:39

Ghost - when Patrick Swayze’s character finally heads off to “heaven” at the end.

Mollie85 · 08/10/2017 14:50

The scene in What's eating Gilbert Grape when the mother dies and a young Leo di Caprio (playing an autistic child) tries to wake her... "mama wake up"

Just typing that gives me chills even now.

What an actor Leo is in that very moment

Mollie85 · 08/10/2017 14:52
