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?

Dontknowwherethelineis agreed. Even more amazing that that scene was improvised.

Probably one only Irish people will have seen, but a couple of seens from Into the West. When Oisin is calling for his (dead) mammy, and at the end when he says "I saw her Papa, I saw her in the water". Floods of tears here!

Into The Wild.
“Happiness is only real if shared”
And the famous line from the Gladiator,
“My name is Marcus Decimus Meridius, commander of the armies of the north etc. etc.

Maximus not Marcus bloody autocorrect.

I have just watched Steel Magnolias, 😔, never seen it before, just sobbing at the graveside but much needed light relief when one of them volunteers her grumpy friend to take a hit

Armageddon when Bruce Willis is saying goodbye to liv tyler and says how Ben Affleck is like a son to him and he's happy they are together. Also notebook, the whole film!

Titanic where Jack sinks, frozen, into the sea. Life of Pi where he loses his family in a ship sinking and see it go down. I think I might have shipwreck issues.

The finale part of the barn scene was genius I was in bits.

Daryl and Rick reunion hardly a word spoken for the whole scene but just expressions from everyone. Just Magic.

The Best Years of Our Lives 1946

Homer a double arm amputee, lets his fiancee Wilma come into his bedroom where he allows her to help him out of the harness and his mechanical arms.

Exquisite tenderness and intimacy between a man and a woman.

I watched Sully for the first time today, I suddenly burst out crying at the bit where they tell him that all 155 passengers made it. It caught me completely off guard and I was a mess! Must be Tom Hanks, he played it so beautifully.

'Slipping through my fingers' was on the car radio as we travelled home ,having left my daughter at university. I think it should be banned from any playlists during the months of Sept and Oct. :)

Tom hanks is incredible .i have cried at lots of his movies .
But the one that really hit me was the end of captain Phillips .when he safe and on the US navy ship he is checked over by a female navy doctor ,she is brilliant ,but its made even more intense when you know she is a genuine navy doctor ,she's not acting ,she is doing her job .i think I get emotional at service men and women in action .

The very last moment of Billy Elliot where Adam wotsisname as adult Billy shakes himself and leaks onto the stage in Swan Lake. I’m welling up just thinking about it.

Did he really leak onto the stage?!

Ooops no! I was the leaky one when he leapt.

Not film but tv, the last series of Twin Peaks

-When the little boy gets run over and Carl sees his soul leave his body

• When the Log Lady dies (she was dying in real life too)

-When the as yet 'unawakened' Coop sheds a tear seeing Sonny Jim waiting in the car

Another tv series .when the kids of fame sing 'star maker ' to one of their teachers who is leaving .
The actor was dying in real life and the rest of the actors and crew knew this.
They were singing goodbye for real.
Truly heartbreaking .

The end of Billy Elliot always makes me cry too, one of my fav films. The scene in steel magnolias when Shelby's life support machine is switched off always makes me cry. I'm type 1 diabetic too and dying young terrifies me, so that scene resonates with me

Does anyone remember the Land Before Time? (The first movie not the crappy sequels) where the baby dinosaurs mum dies and he's saying "wake up mummy" and head butting her. And then he's walking all alone and he sees a big shadow on the wall and he thinks it's her and runs up sooo happy and starts licking it, but it's only his own shadow. I'm crying just thinking about it :(

Oh and I agree about the doctor who Van Gogh episode. And if we're doing TV shows then also the last episode of Black Adder goes forth...

I can't watch Land Before Time because of Ducky. I find listening to her voice so upsetting because of Judith Barsi who played her. So upsetting.

The end of 'meet Joe Black' gets me every time. Every time.

Somebody already mentioned mine but it is scene at the end of The Green Mile, when they have to carry out the execution of John Coffy knowing he didn't do it.

And A time To kill. The beginning of Up is so sad.

There will be many more

The actor was dying in real life and the rest of the actors and crew knew this. They were singing goodbye for real. Truly heartbreaking

I knew there was a reason that always gave me goosebumps and a lump in my throat.

Stitchglitched - I didn't know that about Judith Barsi, that's awful :(
