To ask you for the scenes in films that always make you blub?

[MaybeIWillFuckOffThen]

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 :)

Actually, just saw some mention kids movies , which reminded me that big chunks of How to train your dragon 2 will reliably break me

Along with the shark film thread, this has informed my autumn viewing. I'll intersperse a weepy with a sharky to keep things balanced

Haachi when the silhouette of Richard Gere appears at the end

Philadelphia, when he translates the opera
Awakenings, when Robin Williams realises they are slipping back to their previous state

I'm not much of a crier. In fact I hate crying in general and do my best to not cry, crushing my sadness down as much as I can. Despite that, there's two films that has got me shedding tears.

First was Moulin Rouge, the ending where Satine has just died and Christian is just sobbing. Only generated a tear or two, but that's a big thing for me.

The second was Inside Out. Not where Bing Bong fades away (though it is sad), but towards the end where Riley breaks down to her parents about how unhappy she was. That lanced a festering boil of childhood hurt I didn't even realise I carried until that moment. I sobbed. It was cathartic. I've watched it since and it hasn't happened again, and hopefully it won't.

I've since had two kids and I well up super easily now. A few things have come close, but nothing has managed to tipped me over into crying. Yet.

@DameHelena 'and we'll always be best friends forever' gets my every time! Fox and the Hound is just so sad Also Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind where he's begging to keep just one memory of her. It's so profound, the idea that if you wipe all painful memories from your mind, you'd take some happy ones away too.

Dos Oruguitas, Encanto. I have to leave the room now when the DC watch it.

Cathy dying in Wuthering Heights (Merle Oberon version)

Loads of others, tbh. I cry more these days, since having children, basically.

The scene in 'The Sound of Music' where they have to flee Austria through the Alps to Switzerland. It's just the thought of having to leave your country not knowing if you can ever return.

Titanic when the ship is sinking & the mum is reading her children a bedtime story & also when the old couple are cuddling in bed knowing that they are about to drown

Mamma Mia when Donna is brushing Sophie's hair & singing 'Slipping Through My Fingers'

Its only since I've had my DD that the above films have made me weep.

Imitation of Life - when the Sarah-Jane finally realises she's been a cow to her mum and runs through the crowd at her funeral to hug the casket. 😢😢😢

Also Steel Magnolias at Shelby funeral. Sally Field was amazing in that scene

Also the bit in 'Skyfall' where Bond is holding M after she's been shot & is dying gets me everytime.

And the film 'Inside Out' made me cry as due to ex husband's job
We were moving away from the place where my then 8 year DD was born & had grown up in. It was devasting for both her & myself. One of the reasons (amongst other things) I'm now divorced
l'd just like to add don't go along with things that you're not happy with just ti keep the peace/status quo as resentment builds up.
And with the luxury of hindsight things could have been a lot different & we didn't really need to move.

8 Below.
Cried and cried. Can't watch it again.

I’ve cried at parts of films - like Dumbo, Bambi, Marley & Me, Ghost etc but the film that had me distraught throughout was Steven Spielberg’s ‘A.I. Artificial Intelligence’.
Set in the future an advanced artificial intelligent robot child is bought by a childless couple and he then imprints/loves the Mother. However they then have a real child and he becomes jealous of the robot boy and so the young robot boy is abandoned in the woods. He ends up in a sideshow where robots are destroyed by the crowds but manages to escape. He just wants to become a human child so he can regain the love of his ‘Mother’ - so she can hold him and he can hug her. He talks about her with such love even though she left him. 💔

The opening of Up.
Beaches when "wind beneath my wings " starts.

• The “Baby Mine” scene from Dumbo

• Pretty much the whole of Coco, but particularly the bits where the old mariachi skeleton is forgotten and fades away, and the end where Mama Coco joins in with the song 😭🥺

• The elderly couple cuddled up together on the bed in Titanic

• UP, start to finish

• John Coffey’s execution

• The scene in Brother Bear where Koda gets a cuddle from his mum’s spirit 😭

Soooo many more

Schindlers list - the girl in the red raincoat when she dies

also steel magnolias when Shelby is in hospital and sally field is begging her to wake up
then at the funeral where Shelby’s mum is just devastated ‘I’m fine I’m fine. I can run al the way to Texas and back but my daughter can’t- she never could ‘

what a fantastic actor sally field is

Last of the Mohicans Alice Munro’s final scene.

It's always child related stuff that gets me now. In Alive with the montage of her daughter dying from cancer at the start. And then the bit when she says 'who is this child' and you realise it's not happened yet. The Hans zimmer music doesn't help.

When ET dies :( It has me in bits every time!
When "The Champ" dies in the movie of the same name. The little boy crying over his dead father to "wake up champ"... I can't breathe!

That's all so wrong, I meant arrival and max richter!

The Mission - the bit where the 'christians' start massacaring the native people

I was coming to say the champ "don't die champ, don't die"😭😭

O Captain My Captain.

Even thinking about it makes me well up.

Just about all of "Up"
The end of "Local Hero" - by the time I see the wide shot of the phone box and hear the sound of the phone ringing I'm in bits.

When Richard Parker walks into the jungle in "Life of Pi"
The end credits of "Mother Simpson" when Homer sits on his car's bonnet and watches the night sky.

only got a third of the way through this thread and am wailing like an emotional wreck.
I won't watch the "Dead Mom" Disney films at all and wouldn't let my DCs watch them either. Awful awful things.

Terms of Endearment - yeah, that scene
The Bridge to Terebithia - had no idea that was coming
Mama Mia - is the song called Slipping Through My Fingers?
Dobby dying, The Champ dying,

I won't watch The Green Mile or Up because so many people report full-on ugly crying - nope.
