Movies that make you ugly cry...

[Raffles1981]

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?"

The final Harry Potter film when Minerva McGonagall uses the "piertotum locomotor" spell and the statues jump down to guard the castle, then it leads into the adults all casting spells towards the sky to create a protective dome around the school. It's the music, I think, but it's so beautifully done. Every time the DCs watch it I brace myself for an ugly cry or have to leave the room.

The new Mama Mia film also had me in pieces at the end. I ugly cried all the way home from the cinema after that.

I'm glad someone else said Arrrival! I thought it was just me

Oh and I still cry every Christmas at The Snowman. I have done since I was a kid.

Dark Victory, a black and white Bette Davis movie. When at the end she knows she only has a matter of hours to live and sends her husband off to work so he won't see her die.

I just do not get the Arrival? Worst film ever.

Oh and I still cry every Christmas at The Snowman. I have done since I was a kid.

Me too! Even worse is The Snowman and the Snowdog!

The Notebook.

I honestly don’t think a film has ever made me cry.

But the bit in “little women” (or “good wives” depending on whether you’re in the UK or the US!) where Beth dies? “on the bosom where she had drawn her first breath, she quietly drew her last” - that gets me every. single. time!

Rabbit proof fence

Hearts in Atlantis
Cider House rules

My sisters keeper. Kept having to stop it and breath deeply to try and control the ugly crying, and I never cry really. But I had recently lost someone to cancer.

"The Butler". I watched it on my tablet next to my DH with headphones on and sat and cried through most of it. Broke my heart.

Truly, Madly, Deeply. I haven’t seen it for years, but is one of my favourite films. DH was very ill (he’s OK now) just around the time Alan Rickman died, and just thinking about it makes me well up, so best avoided eh?

The first 5 minutes of Up, just when DH had been diagnosed, resulted in proper ugly sobbing in the kitchen! Also never again...

Steel Magnolias. Sally Field’s outburst followed by Olympia Dukakis suggesting she should hit Shirley MacLaine (or vice versa) has me crying and laughing at the same time, every time.

And not a film, but an episode of Inside No. 9 called The Twelve Days of Christine.

Adding "cargo" now (zombie film, it's on netflix)

Wit, starring Emma Thompson. Just don't watch it. It's harrowing in the extreme.

A monster calls makes me curl up in a ball and sob my heart out (was crying before i even watched it as i had read the book and cried at that too)

I can't watch Interstellar without ugly crying the whole way through as I know the ending 😭

Oh, and the end of Pride when the miners lose the strike and everyone starts dying of AIDS. I cry my heart out.

Likewise, Les Misérables, when they are all singing on the barricades in heaven. Howling mess.

I've cried to lots of these especially since having children - I cry at most films.

However, The Mist (watched pre children so less emotional) had me in bits at the end. I had no idea what the film was about so that's probably why I was so shocked by the ending.

Yy to les mis - crying from beginning to end! Been ages since a good obsessive les mis thread...

Yy to the mist too!

... I'm gonna put les mis on now

I cry very easily. Movies I've sobbed most at are:

The Constant Gardener
Toy Story 3 (yes, really)
Le Huitieme Jour (cried so much at this that the woman next to me in the cinema kept passing me tissues)
Probably loads more that I can't remember now.

Oh God I’m not one for tears really but I seeped at:

PS I love you
