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 :)

For me, its definitely Baby Mine, and the bit near the end of Mamma Mia 2 when they sing 'Waiting for you'. I had my daughter a similar time to watching that film so it really gets me.

I also cry at the Tangled song 'see the light' with all the lanterns, and when she's reunited with her parents.

The dead granny in Moana and bing bongs death in Inside Out had me bawling
the scene towards the end of Encanto where it shows a more detailed version of the grandparents lives (and grandfathers death) the lyrics to the song are heartbreaking

not one that makes me cry as such but the scene in Trolls when they’ve all turned grey and are trapped in the pot about to be cooked and Branch sings to Poppy and does this goofy little smile to cheer her up was surprisingly touching for that type of movie

Goose dying in Top Gun

My Girl “he can’t see without his glasses”

The ending of Beaches, to be fair even the Wind Beneath My Wings music video does it

The end of Philidelphia

FlindersKeepers · 09/08/2022 13:35

Not a film and hopefully not a spoiler, but Episode 6 of The Sandman.
You would have to be made of wood to not cry at that!

WrappedLikeCandyInABlueBlueNeonGlow · 09/08/2022 13:36

The end of The Way We Were for me, too.

billycat321 · 09/08/2022 13:38

when the donkeys are put in crates to be sent to the salt mines in Pinocchio

Iusedtobedontcall · 09/08/2022 13:39

Mamma Mia - where the song slipping through my fingers comes on.

ScarlettOHaraHamiltonKennedyButler · 09/08/2022 13:39

The Grans song in Encanto is so sad and always makes me tear up.

The end of the Christmas Film with Nicholas Cage, i think it's called The Family Man, where at the end he wakes up and none of it was real. It's a good film but such a sad ending.

The Death and Life of Charlie St Cloud (film and book) just makes me cry all the way through. I don't even know why I watched the film after what the book did to me, I was a mess.

@RuthBrenner Oh! Yes! When he's in that glass holding tank thing? And they call Kirk to come because he's going to die?

The way Spock struggles to stand and tries to neaten his uniform when he sees the captain coming ..... <wail>

I have been and always shall be...your friend. Ugly crying subsides a bit then it's his funeral 😭
I actually think I've cried more over Star Trek than any other film/tv series.

"Brooks was here" from the Shawshank Redemption.

Agreed on all of The Green Mile but especially when John's about to be executed and Tom Hanks says, with his voice (and heart) breaking, "Roll on one..."

wherearebeefandonioncrisps · 09/08/2022 13:40

Yep, another one here who blubs at the train station scene at the end of The Railway Children.'

The whole of hachi a dogs tale
Sobbed uncontrollably

Oh god, Hachiko is one hell of a movie. It’s just a cry fest. Big, ugly, snotty red faced cry.

Also, Titanic, cheesy yes, but the moment the ship goes down I’m done. I cry about everything. The moment the Jack is gone from the door there’s no more dignity left in me.

And Independence Day when the US president is giving the speech before that one final battle.

ShinyPikachu · 09/08/2022 13:41

I sobbed like crazy at The Green Mile and The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas.

When the Lion King first came out, my family went along to see it. The whole scene with Mufasa's death was sad enough but a little girl a few rows back piped up "But what's he going to do without his daddy?" and you could hear everyone crying after that.

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.

It utterly baffles me how total tripe that is 4 weddings and love actually and About Time, which is a beautiful story about family and grieving and moving on, is barely known. It’s the only Curtis movie I watch and I absolutely love it. The chemistry between the father and son is incredible

pheonixrebirth · 09/08/2022 13:44

The champ, the end is heartbreaking when he's begging Jackie to wake him up. But the part where his dad is trying to send him away, calling him a pain in the ass, and the kid sobbing because he wants stay with his dad, saying "I,ll be good champ, I won't eat much champ"!
Proper ugly, snotty crying was done that day and I couldn't of cared less who saw.

ExplodingCarrots · 09/08/2022 13:44

The part in The Lovely Bones when Song to siren plays .

'You're the love of my life' part in cast away 😭

End of Homeward Bound

Arrival (again it's the music 🙈)

Avengers : Endgame when Tony stark dies

Not a film but I always cry at the prom scene in Buffy 😂

LydiaBennetsUglyBonnet · 09/08/2022 13:46

The end scene in Coco when Miguel is singing that gorgeous song and the ghost of Coco her arms around her daughter.

Moana’s grandma dying and telling Moana she will be with her whoever she goes.

Jack with Robin Williams when all the kids ask if Jack can come out to play and he’s hooked up to his oxygen tank

Clarinet1 · 09/08/2022 13:46

Yes - The Railway Children when Daddy comes back but also does anyone remember The Champ? It’s about a boxer and his little boy and, when the boxer gets killed, the boy cries and cries,

MamaCasey2 · 09/08/2022 13:48

The ending of the Bridges of Madison County. What could have been....

Needhelp101 · 09/08/2022 13:49

The bit in Infinity War where Spiderman begins to die and turns to dust and Iron Man holds him in his arms and he begs not to go...

MustBeDueSomeBetterFeet · 09/08/2022 13:51

Inside Out - Bing Bong...

Wolfiee · 09/08/2022 13:52

The end of “The Father” where Anthony Hopkins is sobbing and asking for his mummy 😭

Mulhollandmagoo · 09/08/2022 13:54

The practice eulogy on the Fault in Our Stars

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

Yes to these two 😭 especially as Karen stands up, straightens herself down and pulls herself together for her kids!

The scene where he turns up with the cards on love actually too always gets me for some reason, think it's because unrequited love is so flipping painful! 😭

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

This one gets my husband every time! We absolutely love this film though ❤️

EleanorRavenclaw · 09/08/2022 13:58

Dick Van Dyke singing Hushabye Mountain in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. I well up every time no idea why must have seen it a billion times. And Feed the Bloody Birds in Mary Poppins 😭
