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?

Oh Captain, My Captain.

Getting teary just thinking about it.

The beginning of the lion the witch and the wardrobe where the children are evacuated; the music and the aerial photography of the train makes me really emotional every time I see it.

AndNoneForGretchenWieners · 06/10/2017 12:04

Oh I forgot Beaches and The Fault in Our Stars.

albate · 06/10/2017 12:06

The end of Nanny McPhee 2 when Ewan McGregor comes home, gets me every time.

Very 'hun' but two which come to mind are in Sex and the City for me..

  • first one is in the first film where Miranda is alone for the first time at NYE after splitting with Steve. Carries surprises her by dropping in, hugs her and says "you are not alone". Auld Lang Syne playing in the background 😭 Really touching scene.
  • Charlotte after years of infertility failure receives a photo of a baby from China who she has been placed with. She looks at her and says to Harry that she just knows this is it and "this is our baby".

I also found the Emma Thompson scene mentioned above v moving.

Pretty much all of the above 😳 weepy wreck me but the one that came to mind first was les mis: I dreamed a dream ... toy story 3 has me feeling out of sorts all day after Blush

KatharinaRosalie · 06/10/2017 12:07

Love Actually, the Emma Thompson scene when she discovers he's been cheating but puts the brave face on for kids. It's just so perfectly done, she's an amazing actress.

And the beginning as well, the airport scenes and text about "boyfriend, girlfriends.. old friends" (my best friend lives in another country since many years, so we always have to fly to see each other)

AI, when he spends that last day with his Mum

QueenAmongstMen · 06/10/2017 12:09

Love this thread!!

So many of the replies are moments that make me well up too. I feel all weepy just reading about them and thus thinking about them.

One question though, what is 'up' and what do the first ten minutes consist of as it's been mentioned a few times...

CherryChasingDotMuncher · 06/10/2017 12:09

Love Actually is an awful film but the Emma Thompson scene is outstanding and redeems the whole movie IMO. Love that woman!

Beaches

usernotfound0000 · 06/10/2017 12:10

Marley and Me.

CherryChasingDotMuncher · 06/10/2017 12:12

queen UP is a Disney pixar movie about an old widower who use helium balloons to move his house to the place he and his wife always wanted to live to before she died.

The first ten minutes is a non-speaking montage of their happy marriage, which includes a miscarriage and struggle to conceive a child, which they never manage to do. It’s beautiful.

The bit with Moana crossing the ocean to Te-Ka is now on and I’m tearing up again. FFS, this is why I never wear make up!

How could I forget The Fault in Our Stars? DH and I both found that a weepy. Someone bought us it for Christmas the year it came out and it's never been watched!

I also forgot Stepmom the scene at the end where the Mum has the heart to heart with the kids. Gets me every time without even watching the rest of the movie. Susan Sarandon is a brilliant actress.

AppleBlossomTimeNow · 06/10/2017 12:14

Railway Children and Out of Africa

stitchglitched · 06/10/2017 12:14

Last of the Mohicans- the last 10 minutes or so of the film, from where he shoots Duncan to put him out of his misery until the final battle. The music is amazing and whole thing makes me bawl.

Patch Adams- where he is having his hearing and all the kids he's helped come in wearing their red noses.

Walk to Remember- when Landon makes up with his Dad and breaks down crying, and when he proposes to and marries Jamie.

Legends of the Fall- at the end when Alfred shoots the cops to save Tristan's life and his Dad finally forgives him.

The Boxer (the Daniel Day Lewis film)- when Ken Stott's character dies in the street. I was inconsolable.

Mia1415 · 06/10/2017 12:15

The Railway Children (the original) at the end 'my Daddy, My Daddy'' It kills me every time.
Phantom of the Opera 'wishing you were somehow here again'.
Toy Story 3 - the ending
Marley and Me - you know the bit!

And now I'm sat crying at my desk at work!

Norfolkbumpkin · 06/10/2017 12:15

Forrest Gump. I find it an emotional blub-fest virtually all the way through

feral · 06/10/2017 12:16

Snaps and ‘Always’.

Ever single time.

myrtleWilson · 06/10/2017 12:17

Many already mentioned - Toy Story Three, Terms of Endearment, Truly Madly Deeply...

Ones I've only ever watched once but had shoulder heaving sobs so daren't watch again were Melacholia and Breaking The Waves

stitchglitched · 06/10/2017 12:17

Forgot one!

What to Expect When You're Expecting- when Jennifer Lopez meets her adoptive baby for the first time.
