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 Reader when they're in court and she would rather go to prison than admit in front of 'the kid' that she can't read. Going tingly typing it!

Sliding Doors - pretty much all of the end!

Little Women when Beth dies and the music starts and Hannah places a flower on her hands

Another oldie nomination.

Goodbye Mr Chips (Robert Donat) when he says on his deathbed that he had lots of children . . . . . .all boys.

The last friends episode is on comedy centr right now whoever said it makes them cry up thread

Tangled when she comes back to her parents at the end. I actually start blubbing as soon as the guard comes through the door and nods then her parents are running through the hallways to get to her...by the time they collapse in hugs I’m doing snotty crying.

Gallipoli - the ending gets me every single time.

They Shoot Horses Don't They? - so utterly harrowing I've never managed to watch it again (despite having it in my DVD cupboard for 12 years).

Top Gun - yes, I know I lack taste and discernment, but if I watch it enough times will goose survive so I don't need to cry?

Good Will Hunting - it's not your fault and the end

Even typing this is making me well up but the scene in Stepmom where Julia Roberts and Susan Sarandon are talking about Anna on her wedding day. Julia Roberts talks about how her fear is that Anna will be thinking 'I wish my mom was here' the whole time and Susan Sarandon answers that her fear is she won't.

I don't know why, but that always gets to me.

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

I thought about this while in the VG museum earlier this week. Having BPD myself, realising the huge emotional crisis that led him to self-mutilate after rejection made me cry.

Whenever someone mentions this film (that I also love), I like to post this 😈

This could be totally outing for virtually anyone who knows me...but it’s ok, I’ve never posted before, so no skeletons and I just couldn’t NOT post on this one!

There’s one film that was the first to make me cry and still does after countless watches - Less Than Zero - based on Brett Easton Ellis’s of same name. It was around 1989, as I’d just left school so was still only 16.

There are two scenes that I was in pieces over! One around the middle where something happens to the ‘completely fucked up’ Julian, and Blair & Clay are really so worried about him (not going to give details as don’t want to ruin it for anyone who may want to watch the film [or read the book]) and the way they looked after him and how bad he was had me in tears! And then the end...oh my god, I was inconsolable! It might sound like an exaggeration or a complete overreaction, but I literally couldn’t go downstairs and face anyone (still lived at home) for almost half an hour as I was so upset! I’d watched it in my mother’s room with a friend (no vhs player in my own room and we didn’t want to watch downstairs) and she had to go downstairs and make some excuse as to why I had couldn’t come down.

First time I ever cried at a film (although the Bright Eyes theme song from the animated film of Watership Down used to make myself and my cousin cry when we heard it so also used to sing it to each other to make ourselves cry! (No idea why, but we were still only in junior school so possibly only 9-10 or younger!) But can’t really count that 😆

I have no idea why that film affected me so much, but I can still watch it now and be so moved by it. It also introduced me to Brett Easton Ellis as an author, setting off what’s now almost a 30 year of love affair with his books.
(I am slightly embarrassed about sharing this! 😳)

Up the first ten minutes are so poignant. Moulin Rouge when Satine dies.Songs make me cry in films. The slow version of when will my life begin in Tangled gets me every time!

Juno, when she gives birth.

The Colour Purple

The whole film makes me cry but it's the scene at the end were Cellie is reunited with her sister that has me sobbing, every single time.

Truly Madly Deeply - all of it, great big snot sobs all the way through.

Finding Neverland - makes me weeeeeeeeeeep!

Home Alone - Mum comes back and spots Kevin in his dressing gown, with the house all ready for Christmas. They look at each other. The music swells. I wail!

When the dad comes home in Nanny McPhee 2... I start crying before the scene starts cos I know it's coming!

Me Before You at the dance and then at the end. I booed for like half an hour, just couldn't stop.

Brokeback Mountain where he has one shirt inside the other “I wish I knew how to quit you”

I don't cry at sad films. They do nothing for or to me.

However, the bit in Casablanca where the German soldiers are singing German songs and everyone else in the bar starts belting out the Marseillaise...

^ I couldn't even type that without misting up.

Only scan read very quickly so this might have been said already...

The part in Pursuit of Happyness when Will Smith is settling them into a bathroom stall for the night.

Was pregnant when I first watched it. Sobbed and sobbed. Will never know if it was just coincidence but about 10 mins after sobbing my way through that movie my waters broke and I had a beautiful 3lb 1oz 9wk premature baby 6 hours later!

Haven't been able to watch it since.

When Beth dies, in little women 😥

The scene in Billy Elliot when he reads out his mothers letter as he sits with the dance teacher. 😪😪😪😪😪

Even 20 years later I still cry when mufasa dies and simba is calling for him?! And whenever the little ones watch it they cry too, then I cry even more!

Song of the sea, when the mum comes back as a selkie but has to say goodbye to her children. Watched this with my son when I was pregnant and sobbed.

When Johnny dies in The Outsiders.

The "Baby Mine" scene in Dumbo - when he goes to see his mother. Good lord, it makes me cry just thinking about it.
