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?"

Oh my, I loved Three Billboards. I didn't cry, but what a superb film.

The original 'Brief Encounter' is a true classic and I defy anyone not to well up. It's slow, it's dated, it's black and white but it's great

Steel magnolias (sally field is amazing)

Bridges of Madison County (even cried reading the book of that one...)

Beaches (watched with my best friend when we were 13... hysterical)

Seven pounds (when will Smith is mean to woody harrelson on the phone )

My sisters keeper (Cameron Diaz accepting it at the end, i was a wreck and at the cinema on a first date)

The colour purple (all manner of heartbreaking)

An eye for an eye (sally field again on the phone to her daughter)

Coco (completely caught me by surprise)

Most films set in unjust nazi Germany - but most recently ‘another mothers son’ which DH and I saw in the cinema and we spent the whole time thinking it was a bad made for TV movie until the last 5 minutes...we leave the cinema and he turns to me to confirm he thought it was crap and I burst into tears, full on body shaking ... the only time that’s ever happened was when the puppy from ‘John wick’ was murdered - horrific

I first watched The Notebook when I was 15 and sobbed at the end.

I have also cried at Up before and My Girl

Pretty much everything that has been mentioned.
But most of all, The Impossible. It’s just so harrowing from start to finish. I’ve only been able to watch it once, about 6 years ago. I recorded it when it was on telly a few weeks ago, but it’s still sat on the planner as I can’t bring myself to put myself through it again, but I do want to watch it as it is such a good film.

Everybody's Fine.

Always makes me cry. Currently free on amazon prime - would definitely recommend.

Cathy come home.
Brassed off.

The Champs death, when I was a child I cried for days, Beaches also had be blubbering. It has been years though.

PS I love you
Dumbo

When I was a kid I used to cry when LittleFoot thinks he sees his moms shadow after she's died in The Land Before Time :(

Baby mine from Dumbo is enough on its own, as is the music video for I don't wanna miss a thing. Or even the song in general (bawled my eyes out at a festival when Aerosmith played it recently...), as I know exactly what bit Liv puts her hand on the screen as the video cuts out. Hell, I'm welling up even typing this now!!

Arrival - I still can't believe her decision

ET, Dumbo,

Bambi - "motherrrrrr"

The end of the new Mamma Mia

Schindler's List

Weekly during the Handmaids Tale

Oh Dumbo too, the new release of Dumbo for March 2019 looks amazing.

Oooh I love a good weepy...

The Champ my no1, I cry before the sad bits, basically from the beginning to the end
I am Sam
The Notebook
A Star is Born
Green Mile
Beaches

I could go on and on

It's A Wonderful Life. I start about 15mins in at the pharmacist scene and never really stop 😭

ET is the only one I don't agree with on the whole thread. He terrified me as a child and even now makes me shudder. Scary creature. 😬

Black Beauty, when as an adult, Joe Green finds Beauty at the horse actions.

Tell me I'm not the only one reading up at the thoughts of some of these movies? Pretty much bawled at most of the ones mentioned, Big fish was a huge mistake 3 days after FIL died with dh and his sister, total mess we were. But there's a beautiful Irish animated film called Song of the Sea, really didn't expect to sob as much as I did, dd2 was beside me and we both ugly cried the whole way through.

An Affair to Remember ...

*reading up? Welling up! Obviously can't type when crying

Oh I forgot another couple of favs...

Imitation of Life
Who will love my children

Ah It's a Wonderful Life

Think it'll have to be a wee night in at the movies with some munchies and hankies

My sisters keeper
PS I love you.

Silent Running. Bruce Dern- old, but my God it's sad. I was bawling.

Oh and Forrest Gump made me cry the first -ten- few times

Oh and I recently cried in the cinema when they left the diplodocus behind on the new Jurassic World

The Impossible - sobbed the whole way through
The Orphanage
Breaking The Waves - went to see that at the cinema with my Dad - he had to escort me out at the end.

Not a film, but the fairly recent tv production of The Go Between (had Jim Broadbent in it). The final scene where he's standing in the rain alone. Messy, messy crying.

Ds12 was traumatised by Marley and Me!

Gladiator
Betty Blue
Brokeback Mountain
Brief Encounter

Guaranteed full-on sobbing with all of these. Have to watch them sparingly
