to ask film makes you bawl like a baby?

[UsernameNotAvailableApparently]

I’ve just re-watched A Star is Born and sobbed like there’s no tomorrow. Made me think about other films that have hit me hard.
Green Mile is another real sob fest.

Any others? I’d like to build a ‘I need a good cry’ collection

The orphanage.

Sweet Sixteen. For a while years after I watched it I couldn't even look at the DVD case without crying.

I avoid films that are going to make me cry. I'm awfy soft.

On golden pond. Saw it as a kid and cried my eyes out.

A star is born. I had no idea it ended that way and it really upset me.

The Wind That Shakes the Barley

The Magdalene Sisters

Brokeback Mountain really got to me. When he was with those clothes, in his old room, smelling them, near the end.

Gawd.

Toy Story 4. DS cringes at the memory.

I also cry at Apollo 13, which is odd because I've watched it at least 100 times.

Also the West Wing when Donna is on the phone to get old teacher.

I've never summoned the courage to watch Up or the final Morse.

My sisters keeper. Triggering for me, literally looked like I had been punched in the face after watching. Cried so hard

Totally agree with Paddington 2. I think every woman in the cinema was sobbing when I saw it, my kids were mortified 🤣

I cried on and off for three or four days after seeing Brokeback Mountain, I just found it so devastating and so true. I'm really surprised to hear that some people don't ever cry at films!

I think About Time should have a warning for anyone that’s just lost their Dad. It was a great film but had to warn a recently bereaved friend.

Beaches I know it’s naff but my god.

The last scene in Billy Elliott where he dances and his dad and brother are in the audience.

The end of La La land when they see the life they could of had got me I was in floods. My teens were both baffled!

My girl

My dog skip

Coco

@aConcernedPrude

Hachi - A Dog's Tale

Yes this was a tear jerker for me too

Also agree with Soul, the scene where he plays the piano and the small joys of his life flash before him. My goodness, how beautiful and poignant and piercing !

Shadowlands. I sat down quite cheerful to watch that and was sobbing at the end. When the wife dies and her sun and husband are both sobbing. Anything Hopkins is too good an actor

@WorraLiberty big, gulpy sobs.

I can't watch Schindler's ever again.

Son

AI

Anything Holocaust related and anything with children suffering

And the scene in Hair when Berger is boarding the plane to Vietnam instead of Claude

I walked out of Schindler’s List I literally could not bear it.

It's odd really because I'm the sort that needs glass up their nails to cry on real life.

Oh. And I went to see JoJo Rabbit with DS too. Big mistake.

Hachiko- never cried so much in my entire life 🙁
Marley and me

@MsTSwift I think it's evident that you and I should never see a film together

Anything where animals die.

I've seen a few films that have brought tears to my eyes.

But I honestly can't imagine actually sobbing or bawling.

Serious question to those who say they react that way. Do you actually 'sob' and 'bawl' or just shed a few tears?

It's almost like people are, you know, different from each other isn't it. Imagine that ...

Who will love my children
My Girl
Marley & me
Steel magnolias
Terms of endearment

Out of Africa
The English Patient
Far from Home, The Adventures of Yellow Dog - can't even talk about the ending without turning into a snotty mess
Pans Labyrinth
