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 :)

ET when his light goes out. I saw that film at the cinema with my Dad when I was about 10 and it is the only time I have ever seen him cry at a movie. It gets me every time.

also, slightly weirdly, the end of Armageddon.

The Impossible, when Lucas finds his dad by recognising the shorts he’d teased him about and as he runs after him his little brothers hear him shouting and all four are reunited.

Marley and Me when the dog dies.

Homeward Bound when Shadow comes over the hill.

Sully, after the place crash when the camera pulls back and shows all the river ferries rushing to rescue the passengers.

Black Beauty, where he sees Ginger for the last time.

I wanted to go and see Warhorse, DD vetoed it as she reckoned I'd be too embarrassing.

Quite a lot of others ... and there's loads of films mentioned on this thread I've never seen and would probably avoid.

In the pursuit of Happiness when they sleep in the station toilet and he makes it into a game. Breaks my heart every time. (I'm a single/lone parent)

@Brefugee - re: Green Mile. Try it once. Everyone should. Maybe read it? First time for either is painfully sad, but it's such an amazing book and film it's worth it. But don't ever try to read or watch it a second (or third 🙄) time. 'Cos that's when the actual hysteria sets in 😂😭

@Georgeandzippyzoo ''I was so traumatised and amazed by the book [Green Mile] I've never watched the film because it 'cant be as good, it must miss out bits, I'll regret watching it!'''
I feel like that about Christine (another Steven King book). I read it one hot summer back in the late 80s when i was the same age as the main characters and he caught that awful/wonderful teenage state so well that i felt as if he was reading my mind. I've never read it again and i will not watch the film! 🙁Even the sight of that old book on my shelf with that big old car (Christine herself) on it makes me feel wistful ....

I was going to go and see Warhorse (film), but when my Aunt, who cries at NOTHING said she'd wept at it, i decided - nope.

The bit in Ice Age when Manny the mammoth sees cave paintings that depict how his family was butchered.

re: Green Mile. Try it once

Really, no thank you. I'm ok with a lot of emotional things, but this one feels almost manipulative to me. Who Will Love My Children was another. I just prefer to have something a bit more organic in the story, tbh.

I'm more likely to cry at a book though. That's a whole other thread, i think

I'm not really into RomComs but the scene in 'About Time' when he spends the last day on the beach with his dad really upsets me.

I think The Fox and the Hound was the first film I got taken to the cinema to see as a kid. It has NEVER left me, for good and ill!

I have two..

the scene when Meryl Streep is holding on to the car door handle when she's sitting in the car with her husband and she knows that Clint Eastwood (who shes been having an affair with) is waiting for her in the car in front.😥

The scene at the end of The Way we Were when Robert Redford is going into the hotel and Barbara Streisand calls him from over the road 😥

I'm notoriously dry-eyed and didn't even tear-up when Bambi's mum was shot.

But the bit in Charlotte's web where she sings her last song, knowing she's dying - I have to leave the room!

Life is beautiful, where the boy's brave dad is shot by a firing squad and he ' wins' the tank .

The end of ‘Pay It Forward’ has me in tears every time. And even though it’s not a sad scene, the scene in ‘Wonder Woman’ where she goes into no man’s land sets me off as well.

These scenes will break me:

The Green Mile: Delacroix’s execution, John Coffey’s death, and the old mouse sleeping in the box at the end.

The Shawshank Redemption: The scene in the grocery store where Red hands the bag of groceries to the lady and she doesn’t say “thank you,” and then he raises his hand and asks his boss for a break. Then at the very end, when Red and Andy reunite on the beach.

A River Runs Through It: When the elderly Norman is fishing and the voice-over says “I am haunted by waters.” The tears start about four minutes before that, though.

Schindler’s List: The first time I saw it, I cried only at the scene where Schindler wishes he’d done more. The movie was so violent that I sat there in stunned silence for the rest of it. The second viewing, I started crying at the liquidation of the Krakow ghetto and never stopped.

Toy Story 3: The end.

@GrouchyKiwi

Moana where she sings to TeFiti: "This is not who you are, you know who you are" and then they hongi, and it so beautiful I cry every time

Oh god me too on this one. I actually want a tattoo of TeFiti with this quote underneath it 😳 because I identify so hard with the rage coming from pain and obscuring your true self ... And wanting to be seen... Ugh. Prob won't get it though (a) because scared of pain! And (b) concerned that even though it's a Disney representation there is a Polynesian mother Goddess figure and I wouldn't want want to be appropriative. My daughter listens to the Moana soundtrack in the car and it's a bloody nuisance getting tears in your eyes on an A road 😂

Oh, bloody songs though - Surface Pressure in Encanto always has me quietly sliding tears off the end of my nose, hoping the kids don't notice!

The christening scene in Mamma Mia 2

Yes to this one too

The Pursuit of Happyness is brutal. I know the end is uplifting, but I found I was completely drained before it got to that point!

All of mine have been mentioned, but sob at dogs dying and War Horse.

I think the ultimate weepy has got to be Madame X😭😭😭

As good as it gets. When she asks for a compliment. And he says "you make me want to be a better man ". Gets me every time

not a film, but the TV show Never Have I Ever. When Devi tells her mum she wishes it was her that died rather than her dad and then races to the beach so she can spread their dad’s ashes together. It’s a great apology scene, so touching and it just gets grief right. So few TV shows do.

@TheDogsMother yes!! The beautiful poem 😭😭😭😭

Yes @DancinOnTheCeiling. I can't even read that poem without blubbing. Matthew saying Gareth's recipe for Duck a'la Banana will go with him to the grave 😢🤣
