I've just been reduced to a puddle by the bit in Hunger Games where Katniss volunteers for Prim - you can feel both their panic for each other and it just gets me! gulp Reminds me of the bit in Empire of the Sun when Jamie is separated from his parents in the mob 😭 I feel like this sort of scene hits me harder since having my kids.

Call me bonkers but i love a good film cry, I find it really cathartic. So hit me! Any scene from any film that makes you ugly cry :)

In “Crash” when the little girl runs out to take the bullet for her dad because she thinks she is wearing the invisible protective cloak.
had to take a deep breath just writing that.

The whole opening of “Up”.

drawacircleroundit · 09/08/2022 12:03

The singing of “God bless America” at the end of “The Deerhunter”.

ThickCutSteakChips · 09/08/2022 12:03

On the subject of the Hunger Games, the bit where Rue is killed and Katniss covers her in flowers etc and then does the salute to the camera, and then all of Rue's District starts rioting - I always sob!

The bit in Toy Story 3 when they all reach out to hold hands as they slide down towards the incinerator. Gets me every time.

drawacircleroundit · 09/08/2022 12:04

The little girl finding her pet rabbit is missing in “Fatal Attraction”. “Mummy, Fluffy’s gone…” 😪

HarrietSchulenberg · 09/08/2022 12:05

Original Railway Children - "Daddy, my Daddy".
Toy Story 2 - Jessie's backstory.
Toy Story 3 when Andy leaves the toys with Bonnie and drives away.
Adult films just don't do it for me.

It’s the boy in toy story 3 that gets me as well.

And when she dies in Beaches.

drawacircleroundit · 09/08/2022 12:06

The court room scene in “Philadelphia” when Tom Hanks’s character collapses.

Eranzer · 09/08/2022 12:06

The practice eulogy on the Fault in Our Stars.

When his daughter is smuggled into jail in Miracle in Cell No7.

When Robert De Niro loses ability again in Awakenings... I was just hysterical.

The baby pig being saved from the slaughterhouse in Okja. Absolutely cried my eyes out.

tellmewhentheLangshiplandscoz · 09/08/2022 12:07

This one doesn't so much make me blurb but rather it's so sad ... don't laugh but ... in Revenge of the Sith when Anakin and Obi Wan fight on the lava planet just before he turns

"You were my brother " Sad

Then the little shit kills the younglings SadSad

Oh and The Green Mile.

2ndMrsdeWinter · 09/08/2022 12:08

Homeward Bound: the part where Peter has accepted Shadow’s death. Moments later, Shadow comes hobbling over the hill and into his human’s arms.

It has me sobbing every time.

AgathaMystery · 09/08/2022 12:08

When the father & son play on the beach in About Time - the Richard Curtis film. I love it. It’s got a dozen laugh out loud moments (more) and a dozen throat catching poignant moments.

TheFlis12345 · 09/08/2022 12:09

Most of Philomena
The beginnings of Up and Finding Nemo
The dog outside the garage in A Star is Born

StanleyBostitch · 09/08/2022 12:09

The scene in Love Actually where Karen realised that Harry has been cheating on her...and she smooths the bed spread.

MrsElijahMikaelson1 · 09/08/2022 12:10

Me Before You when Louisa realises she can’t save Will-and the entire rest of the movie after that, with literal snot sobbing by the time they are at dignitas 🥹
