So there is a thread about TV characters and it got me thinking. So AIBU to ask what movie really makes you cry?
The Green Mile. The moment when Tom Hanks says "We love you. Can you feel that?"
Sad

Lion.

Watched it on a plane. Cried throughout the whole film.

BeyondRadicalisationPortal · 12/08/2018 00:16

Ah thank you both, yes - United 93 :(

Speaking of x-men, shiny: Logan.

Charley50 · 12/08/2018 00:25

Cried from start to finish at Never Let Me Go... but only because I'd read the book first and knew what was going to happen.

FloydWasACat · 12/08/2018 00:31

King Kong (any of the versions) and The Lovely Bones

FloydWasACat · 12/08/2018 00:33

Ooh, Goodnight Mister Tom too

Triflingjelly · 12/08/2018 00:39

Breakfast at Tiffany's - the last scene with Cat in the pouring rain. Gets me every time. Wash!

Triflingjelly · 12/08/2018 00:40

Not wash, Waah! Predictive text...sorry

MrsMoon18 · 12/08/2018 00:43

Lion

The Changeling

SaltyPeanut · 12/08/2018 01:04

Brokeback Mountain.
Never Let Me Go.
Castaway. The bit where he loses Wilson and is inconsolable and when he finds out the woman he worships didn't wait then married someone else.
The Colour Purple.
The Green Mile.
Highlander when his wife dies and the music begins to swell for the intro of Who Wants to Live Forever.
Hellboy The Golden Army. When Princess Nuala sacrifices herself to stop her twin Prince Nuada. Also when the last of its kind forest spirit monster dies, opens into a giant flower and it's spilled blood turns the urban landscape into an enchanted forest. I know, I'm a bit weird.

ET
The beginning of Up
Forrest Gump
Good Will Hunting
Dumbo

AmyRhodes · 12/08/2018 03:31

And yes @SaltyPeanut Castaway!!

The Wilson bit and the bit in the rain at the end. Can't believe I forgot that one!

FallenAngel89 · 12/08/2018 03:37

Me before you 😭

EmmashouldI · 12/08/2018 03:47

Watched Cool Runnings lastnight and that made me cry husband couldn’t stop laughing at me.

wafflethewonderdog · 12/08/2018 04:03

So many of these make me howl. Most recent and embarrassing one is the Smurf Movie. Watching it with the DDs with tears streaming down my face when Smurfette dies 😂

BitOfFun · 12/08/2018 04:35

Terms Of Endearment. "GIVE MY DAUGHTER THE SHOT!"

And Emma's last exchange with her eldest son, when she knows she is dying:

"I know you like me. I know it. For the last year or two, you've been pretending like you hate me. I love you very much. I love you as much as I love anybody, as much as I love myself. And in a few years when I haven't been around to be on your tail about something or irritating you, you could... remember that time that I bought you the baseball glove when you thought we were too broke. You know? Or when I read you those stories? Or when I let you goof off instead of mowing the lawn? Lots of things like that. And you're gonna realize that you love me. And maybe you're gonna feel badly, because you never told me. But don't - I know that you love me. So don't ever do that to yourself, all right?"

WAAAAAAAAAH Sad

EmUntitled · 12/08/2018 06:03

The Green Mile was my first thought on reading the thread title. Basically I cry in every scene with Coffey in, including the first one where they're chasing him. The book was just as bad, if not worse!

The beginning of Up and the laat 3rd of Toy Story 3.

flapjackfairy · 12/08/2018 06:14

I can't make it through the end of Nanny Mcphee and the big bang
When the mum is running after her and dad comes over the hill.i crack every flipping time . Oh and don't know if anyone has mentioned Inside Out when she is deleting her childhood memories . It broke me completely and I have never been able to watch it again

Worlds0kayestmum · 12/08/2018 06:17

The green mile
Beaches
Steel Magnolias
Titanic
Armageddon
Fried Green tomatoes at the whistlestop cafe

EnthusiasmIsDisturbed · 12/08/2018 06:47

Leaving Las Vegas

From the first night they spend together you know it isn’t going to be a happy ending

I sob throughout most of the film

Changeling sadness really stayed with me for a few days after seeing the film

laurzj82 · 12/08/2018 06:58

Green Mile
The Notebook
About Time

Riotgrrrrrl · 12/08/2018 09:58

A lot that have already been said (Marley and Me, Up, Lion King etc)

But I always start blubbering when Angela Lansbury starts singing in Beauty and the Beast.
