So normally I’m a bit heartless and not one to cry at programmes at all, but I was flicking through Disney+ today and ended up watching The Rescue. Amazing programme and of course here I am bloody bawling about it at the end.

What did you last watch that made you cry?

Another one here for Nadal’s Australia Open win - what a game!

Watched Sing 2 today and started to well up at one point!

Last thing to make me properly cry though- afterlife.

The Futurama episode with Fry's fossilised dog

The film Shadowlands, about C S Lewis's relationship with his wife.
Agree with this. Saw the play as well and was in tears - it was so well acted. Wasn't the last thing though as it was about 30 years ago! 😊

The Hillsborough drama Anne. The first episode especially was so sad & very very realistic. Marine Peake's acting is fantastic but the fact that this is just one of 96 tragic true stories was very sad. So glad this drama was made as it shouldn't be forgotten.
Thanks for the reminder this has been on my to watch list for a while

I'm about a decade late to films but watched Sound of Metal with Riz Ahmed on Friday night and felt really overwhelmed at the end. Really snuck up on me.

Philomena, about an Irish woman looking for her son who was adopted without her consent.
I was raised Catholic but OMG, the abuse they put those women and children through Sad

Ah that's a brilliant film @MintMe!

Watched Suffragette (the movie) on iplayer few nights ago and it triggered the tears. Made me realise how valuable our votes are.

Cloud atlas. Made my 13 year old DS cry too and he didn’t even cry at No way home. Whereas I was sobbing

LaQuern · 30/01/2022 17:21

Anne. I'm not normally a telly / film crier but I cried during each episode

SmokeAndBone · 30/01/2022 17:21

Will Smith film 'The Pursuit of Happyness' Its been around a while but I've only just watched it 'Netflix'.

Artus · 30/01/2022 17:22

I also cried at the Nicholas Winton That's Life clip mentioned earlier.

Maid on Netflix

I've been rewatching Derek (to console myself that Afterlife is finished) and sobbed at the end of the last episode of season 1 where his dad comes back. After absolutely hating The Office I'm a total Gervais convert in recent years, I don't cry easily and he has an uncanny knack of making me!

@Yamaya

I watched a thing on the bbc about portraits Prince Charles commissioned of about 5 holocaust survivors. I cried seeing their reactions to their portraits. Amazing people who held on to no hate considering what they had been through.
This. DH, teen DD and me just couldn’t stop endless tears running watching this. We were all a blubbing snotty mess. And the end result paintings were so amazing.
CharlotteRose90 · 30/01/2022 17:34

Watching the dog home I think it’s called . I’m a sucker for dogs getting rescued and it makes me cry seeing them getting Matched with the right owner.

BlueBellsArePretty · 30/01/2022 17:36

The news reports on the murder of Star Hobson 😢

AllAmericanGirl · 30/01/2022 17:36

Dear Zachary documentary.

BoysRule · 30/01/2022 17:40

I was on a long flight and watched The notebook. Blubbed like a baby.

Shitzngiggles · 30/01/2022 17:40

Australian Open today. Rafa winning his 21st Grand Slam, just amazing .

AlexaShutUp · 30/01/2022 17:42

One of Alex Crawford's latest reports about the situation in Afghanistan. Parents selling their kidneys and their children in order to survive/feed their other kids. Utterly heartbreaking.

Some ballet thing about the hare and the tortoise with Mr Bloom on CBeebies. My youngest is 11 so we haven't watched CBeebies for a while but after a visit from my toddler niece he suddenly was overcome by nostalgia and put it on. I mean, I will cry at almost anything, but as I explained to him as he looked at me in bemusement, I was crying because a/ CBeebies is so lovely and I have such fond memories of it b/ It brings back the time when the children were little and c/ ballet makes me cry because it looks so amazing and I am amazed by what the human body can do, and because I always think of how hard the dancers must work to make it look so elegant and effortless.

"Whatever, mum".

After life by Ricky gervais. it must be the most genius series ever written!! I do cry a lot though at tv and film but weirdly not in real life sadness which I don’t quite understandConfused
