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?

The Green Mile - John Coffey's death
Forrest Gump - "he's so smart Jenny"
Titanic - Rose jumps out of the lifeboat and meets jack at the clock "you jump, I jump right?"
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button - towards the end where Benjamin is now a newborn baby and Cate Blanchett cradled him while he dies

Billy Elliot when his Dad comes to the theatre to see him dance.

I used to love Homewarrd Bound, but Homeward Bound 2 was such a let down

I can feel myself filling up with end scene just writing this. I even went so far as to call my own dog Shadow.

Brooks’ monologue just before he hangs himself in the shawshank redemption.

When Andy walks out of the solicitors office thinking no one will help him in Philadelphia and the Springsteen track starts up for the first time.

And Up. Obviously. Surely everyone cries at Up?

About time - when he’s with his dad for the last time. And I don’t cry at anything!

Much as I live Ghibli, I’m not going to watch Grave Of The Fireflies. I know enough about it to know that it’ll be too much.

The whole of Titanic

“Daddy, my Daddy” has always made me cry, but since being abandoned by my ‘daddy’ as an adult it’s now a visceral pain.

I’m also quite deeply affected by the ‘slipping through my fingers’ scene in Mamma Mia (yes I know the film is shit). It was difficult watching it with my Mum and realising for the first time, truly how she felt about me. I didn’t have a daughter then and now I do it’s horrific! I really do what to freeze her periodically and keep lots of little versions of her at different stages.

Mr Hollands Opus at the end when the orchestra play his symphony - gets me EVERY time!

Titanic when the elderly couple cuddle on the bunk bed as the water rushed into the cabin.

At the end of The Lover (1992) when she is on the boat and hears the piano playing and realizes she loved him.

Railway children. Every. Single. Time

The scene at the concentration camp at the end of the Boy in the striped pyjamas.

Every single time.

Billy Elliot here too. Wen is Father collapses in tears after breaching the picket line.

Another vote for baby mine in dumbo. Just watched it on youtube and now I'm waiting for DD to wake up so I can just hold her in my arms.

The original Cheaper By the Dozen film made in 1950, the bit where the little brother is crying on the stairs, his older sister comes running in and he sobs " oh Andie, our daddy's dead"
I bawl my eyes out at that every single time.

TopBitch that reminds me of another - the later parts of Life is Beautiful in the concentration camp and at the end where his son is thrilled that they've 'won' the tank.

MrsMarge YY about slipping through my fingers. Just hearing the song makes me sob it’s so sad!

It's a Wonderful Life, when George Bailey is sitting at the bar in Martini's on Christmas Eve. He's realised he's lost everything, he's completely alone while people in the background are dancing to Christmas music, singing etc. And he says "Lord, I'm not a praying man, but if you're up there, show me the way... I'm at the end of my rope..." Waah, it makes me cry just thinking of it.

Oh if we're also doing tv episodes, the Van Gogh episode of Dr Who pretty much destroys me every time I watch it.

And not a film but the ITV series that was on recently Little Boy Blue had me crying from start to finish. Took me about 2 hours to watch one episode I kept having to pause to sob! I’d just given birth to my little boy though so I was extra hormonal.

This thread is making me cry 😭!
I agree with the the OP about Moana. I cry at the grandmother part and the bit when Moana has doubted herself and then sings "I am Moana".
I also cry every time at Up, Frozen and Toy Story 3. And Monsters Inc where Sully says goodbye to Boo and then his face at the end when he sees her again. Kid's films are actually the worst for emotional moments 😭😭

When Buddy dies in Fried green tomatoes. Can’t explain why it’s just so well done.
