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?

Another one for the classic The Champ...

And also more recently the end of Arrival. I found it hugely poignant (no spoilers)

When the ant dies in Honey I Shrunk The Kids.

Gladiator - the ending when he is reunited with his family
Lion King - Mustafa falls to his death and Simba tries to wake him
Of Mice and Men - the dog gets shot. I did not make it past that scene.
One Flew over the Cuckoo's nest - the final scene when Chief and McMurfy escape
Romeo & Juliet (Franco Zeffirelli) - Juliet (young Olivia Hussey) wakes up in the crypt to find Romeo dead. Kisses him and cries: "Thy lips are warm". She just missed him.
The English Patient - he comes out of the cave carrying her
La la Land - Final scene where he is performing on the piano and playing out the alternative universe where they are together
Love Story - she dies
Jane Eyre (Cary Fukunaga) - Final scene when Jane finds Mr Rochester (Michael Fassbender) blinded

The Green Mile

Goodnight Mister Tom

Oh god, is that true about Gregory Crandall?

On Fame? I sobbed my heart out as a kid watching that

Pretty much most films that have been listed on here.

@tossdaily
It's true ,it's one of the saddest things to watch .
The storyline was that he was he was being made redundant ,but he was ill and died not long after the show ended .very sad.

I wish Fame would be repeated somewhere.

I adored that show as a child.

Oh and The Persuit of Happyness. all that guy's bad luck, and when the kid drops his only toy but they have to race to the homeless centre to try to get a bed for the night so they can't go back for the toy also when Chris finally makes it in the end.. I was a blubbering wreck in the cinema.

Oh and when gary died in thirtysomething !
I didn't get over that for weeks .

Agree with most listed here but I cry at anything remotely sad or emotional on tv and film. Some that stand out for me are-

-In the first satc film when Carrie realised big wasn't coming to their wedding and shouts 'get me out of here!'. Then when she gets out of the car in her wedding dress and batters him with her wedding bouquet before turning to Charlotte who looks at Big and says 'No! No!' When he tries to walk towards them. Gets me every time I watch it.

-Same film when Miranda and Carrie are out for Valentine's Day and Miranda tells Carrie that she said something to Big that he was crazy to be getting married.

-The Emma Thompson scene in Love, actually that has been mentioned many times up thread.

-I am legend when Will Smith has to kill his dog because he realises she's been infected. It's heartbreaking.

-All of Seven pounds.

-The scene in Toy Story 3 when the toys are in the furnace and hold hands and accept they are about to be incinerated.

-The good dinosaur when Arlo has to leave Spot behind with his family.

There are a lot more but too many to mention here!

There was a film from the 70s called Day of the Dolphin. My memory of it is a bit fuzzy, but I know two dolphins were taught to speak, and the man who had trained them was making them go away because they were being trained for nefarious purposes - by the Navy, I think? Fa, one of the dolphins was squeaking, "Fa loves Pa! Fa loves Pa!" and his trainer had to stand there shouting at them, "Pa does not love Fa! Pa does not love Fa!" to make them leave.

Utter hokum, but I howled.

Dumbo - the part where his mother is in the cage and trying to reach him with her trunk. It's making me tear up now and I'm in an office with 7 burly prison officers!!

And The Elephant Man when he is being harassed in the station and says "I'm not an animal, I'm a human being" - I was still crying about 2 hours later!

When the ant dies in Honey I Shrunk the Kids

God, all of these!! Top Gun, Dumbo, The Champ (traumatized me as a child!) , Beaches, ET, Up.....I cry at most things . DH still teases me about Armageddon (was snotty and hysterical), Somersby really got to me too ( "you are not my husband!" ) , Last of the Mohicans, Braveheart, Gladiator.
Recently watched a film called "The light between the Oceans" on Now tv that had me bawling!! If you like to depress yourself for days a good cry, watch it!

I have a few! I tend to put myself in the situations which makes it worse lol

In The Land Before Time, when Little Foot thinks he sees his mom and gets excited and runs towards her and realises it's just a rock. That used to kill me as a kid, I watched it in the last few months with my younger sister and it still had the same effect.

Dumbo, where his mom is in the jail and he swings on her trunk. Always broke my heart!

PS I Love You, every time she receives a letter I just couldn't stop the tears!

In the Green Mile, John Coffey had me in tears numerous times.

And I'm not even the 'crier' in the family!

stitch omg you just reminded me about the little girl who played Duckie in Land Before Time, oh god my heart's broken all over again

The part in Titanic when the musicians are playing their last song and the Irish woman is lying on the bed telling her children a story and then the old couple are holding each other as the water comes in...emotional wreck every time!

Most of the scenes in Steel Magnolias, Beaches. McCaulay Culkins death in My Girl,

Being asked the boy or the girl in Sophie’s Choice, her saying “I can’t choose”

Most of Pans Labyrinth is heartbreaking but the saddest is when Ofelia sacrifices herself for her baby brother

Thanks to this thread me and the DC watched "My life as a courgette"

Great film, it teaches about foster care and abandonment in a very age appropriate way. and the UK dubbed version has my favourite actor from parks and rec ! and its not too sad an ending too

First 5 minutes of Up
