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?

That bit in The Fox and the Hound where the woman takes Todd in her car and leaves him in the woods. My mum bought me a copy of the film on DVD for my 22nd birthday a few years ago thinking that as we'd got older we'd more immune to that scene. How wrong we were I thought, as the snot fell from my nose and tears traveled down my red patchy face at a rate unbeknownst to me, before that moment.

The end scene in Braveheart when William Wallace is being executed and he sees his dead wife walking to him through the crowd.

End scene in Gladiator when he is dying in the arena and dreams he is walking toward his home where his dead wife and son are waiting for him.

ofShoes I have been able to watch 'Bridge to Terabithia once, I did not see that coming, and I cried right through to the end.

So , I can't count it as film I cry every time I watch it, because I was too up set to ever watch it again Grin

'Up' always does it. I always say I won't watch it, and I always do. and spend the remainder of the film a soggy mess.

Some films aren't inherently sad, but they make me cry when I watch them because they remind me of a certain time. Just hearing 'King of Wishful thinking' at the beginning of 'Pretty woman' always sets me off. (I love the soundtrack, I know the subject matter of the film ,as the years have passed, means that people don't like it as much as they did).

I'm going to have to google the end of Ghost I cannot for the life of me remember it, I can't really remember the film though to be fair.

AlcoholicsUnanimous · 06/10/2017 12:59

Loads of ET, Les Miserables and yeah, the end of Toy Story 3.
Also, somewhat ridiculously, the end of Monsters Inc when they say goodbye to Boo, "Go grow up."

alltoomuchrightnow · 06/10/2017 13:00

the end of Field of Dreams , and that's literally the only film that can..I"m not a big crier of tv/films/books

Willow2017 · 06/10/2017 13:01

The court room in Philadelphia where they make him show the mark on his skin.

Omg Armageddon total blub fest!

KatsutheClockworkOctopus · 06/10/2017 13:02

The end of Neverending Story when he's riding Falkor always makes me cry.

millifiori · 06/10/2017 13:03

Up
Railway Children
Incredible Journey
Brokeback Mountain
Monsoon wedding
About A Boy
Lion - the whole film - just cried and cried and cried
and bloody Beaches. So manipulative but that song....

CastAway -

At the end, when Tom Hanks goes to Helen Hunt's house and she takes him into the garage to show him his jeep that she kept all those years.

The dialogue, the music, the emotion. God I'm welling up just thinking about it!

Brilliant film.

ChocolatePHD · 06/10/2017 13:04

The 'it's not your fault' scene in Good Will Hunting.
When Bambi's mother dies. And I cried through most of Moonlight. Incredible film.

Littlejayx · 06/10/2017 13:04

Fox and the hound, when she drives away from Todd the fox and leaves him in the woods. My god.

birdsdestiny · 06/10/2017 13:04

Oh god I had forgotten Philadelphia.

Cocolepew · 06/10/2017 13:08

Oh the end of Gladiator kills me every time.
When the DDs were younger DH sat and watched The Bridge To Terabithia with them. I came back home and he was sitting on the sofa in a state of shock Grin
The Imitation of Life. Saddest film ever. The funeral scene where the daughter breaks out of the crowd screaming for her mum.
Big snotty sobbing for hours.

SumThucker · 06/10/2017 13:08

Yes RiseAway, when her voice breaks a little saying "you're the love of my life", I tear up.

EvilDoctorBallerinaVampireDuck · 06/10/2017 13:11

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, at the end, when he dies.

RiseToday · 06/10/2017 13:11

I just watched it

Google CastAway 'rain scene'

I'm now sat here in tears Grin

Coconutspongexo · 06/10/2017 13:11

Well I've just watched the end of Ghost on YouTube and now I'm sobbing so thanks whoever said that

Beerwench · 06/10/2017 13:12

Marley and me - tbf I first watched it while ironing, with soppy old black lab on sofa looking at me, he was booked into vets for that day. Had heard about Marley and me but not in detail and thought as it was a comedy, and I liked the cast, it'd do for an afternoons ironing. I was a mess. Can't believe I didn't realise what was coming when I started watching it really.
Philadelphia
Fault in our stars
War horse

alltoomuchrightnow · 06/10/2017 13:13

omg how could I forget, the end of Big Fish...I defy anyone to watch that and not cry.
And this scene from Angel-a is so beautiful (background is that the blonde goddess - the angel..saved the suicidal man)

Mia1415 · 06/10/2017 13:14

I've just thought of some others! When Harry Potter goes to face Voldermort and his parents, Sirius and Lupin are standing with him.

Also various parts (i.e. the sad bits) of Independence Day.

Cadenza1818 · 06/10/2017 13:14

Railway children end for me. Always

Deploycharitygoats · 06/10/2017 13:14

The bit in Amelie where she's making cake and imagines Nino going to buy plums and bringing them to her. Then the bead curtain rustles and for a second she thinks it's him, but it's just the cat and she starts to cry. It's her realisation of just how lonely she is that gets me every time.

SumThucker · 06/10/2017 13:17

RiseToday Blush not Away!

Just watched the rain scene, the bit where he shouts "I'm sorry Wilson!!" also gives me a massive lump in my throat.

CheeseToastie123 · 06/10/2017 13:18

It's not your fault - Good Will Hunting

ET when he's ill
