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?

Crikey, what doesn't make me cry? Most recent sob triggerer was the reveal that the man handing out blankets at the end of Dunkirk was blind

I watched ‘What dreams may come’ for the first time last night. Has Robin Williams in it. I cried almost the whole way through.

Not much of a crier but,
One flew over the cuckoo's nest and the car scene in Bridges of Madison County.

"Losing Isaiah" when Halle berry is crying reading the book about the baby

And then the scene where they come and take him away from Jessica Lange 😭

Several already mentioned here, but also 'Wild'.

And also 'Tootsie'. Such a sweet, tender film. The last ten minutes wreck me.

and what about when Han Solo gets killed?!? Sad

"Daddy, my daddy" has always reduced me to tears.

My DF died last week Sad Don't think I will be able to watch the Railway Children for a very long time

I've only seen it once but Me Before You was an absolute sobfest for the entire second half!

SerialChangerOfName · 16/10/2017 22:59

Oh fuck, I forgot about Lion. Cried buckets and buckets.

The end scene in gladiator when he is dying and the lady is saying ‘go to them’ about his wife and child who had died at the beginning. I think it’s the music :(

AI most of it

In My Girl when Vada walks into Thomas J's funeral and loses it because "he can't see without his glasses" breaks my heart every time.

Hachi from the part where Richard Gere dies right through to the end; non stop ugly crying from me (I've even been none to hyperventilate whilst watching it Blush)

Green Street when the song starts near the end as Charlie Hunnam goes off with his 'firm' to fight the other 'firm' and I just know what's coming Sad

Not a film but Friends the TV show, when they all put their keys on the kitchen counter in the last episode. That scene gets me every time even though I must have seen it (and all the other episodes) over 50 times.

Every second of Watership Down

A Dog's purpose (I actually can't bring myself to watch the movie but the books have me crying for hours.)

50 first dates. Supposed to be a comedy but I blub like a baby. It's the scene where she has to watch a video to remember she's married with kids that breaks me

QueenAmongstMen · 17/10/2017 02:20

I watched Apollo 13 yesterday and I cried at the end when they re-entered earth.

Mr Holland's Opus, where they all come back to play the piece he's been composing all those years, but it's taken so long because he was teaching them all music instead.
