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 :)

Yes, I can see how if the sad moments jab too close to something personal, it could go from safe, vicarious emotions to feelings about real, painful parts of your life.

I'm better now but the first few times I watched 'Inside Out', I was a mess.

All her memories crumbling, and Bing Bong ...💔

When I first watched it in the cinema, my DC were smaller; I disgraced myself by crying uncontrollably - people were looking at me, a man a few seats in couldn't stop laughing at me. I was distraught. I just kept thinking of my own DC and how I tried to give them certain memories & experiences but they could all be lost ...

I was just a mess.

And the opening scenes to 'Pete's Dragon' - the car crash.

It's a beautiful film tho, I love it.

Slightly different - I find those films Chadwick Boseman made between his diagnosis and his death immensely moving to see now - especially Black Panther. I think it was the fact that he kept it absolutely private and conducted himself with such tremendous courage and dignity throughout - it was such a shock to hear that he had died.

And in 'Billy Elliott', when his dad gets angry & shouts at him & his gran, I feel so sorry for poor Billy, I find that nearly too hard to watch

In The Little Princess where Sara is shouting "Papa, it's me, it's Sara", and he doesn't know who she is and then it pans out to the police taking her away and he shouts "Saaaaaarrrraaaa" and she runs to him shouting "Papa". It gets me EVERY time! My absolute favourite film.

Yes to the Tangled song ❤️ I See the Light.

DD and I still love the film but it was the last one we sat down to watch when she was "little " little IYSWIM? Small enough to snuggle on my knee and un-embarrassed to snuggle up for the whole film.

And Rapunzels dad looks like a melancholy Eric Cantona

And Maximus is hilarious.

Apologies Disney you'd already put the song name in

Most of the colour purple, and the scene where the horse dies in Never ending story.

Rocketman - where Elton John is a little boy and the whole family are singing 'I want love' - but none of them has it...

Oh, and the ending to Armageddon. I just cried and cried and called my dad and cried some more. He thought something was wrong until my mum took the phone and explained!😆

The bit in Paddington when Aunt Lucy tells him she's going to the home for retired bears and he will have to travel
alone 😭😭😭

A film called After the Promise with Mark Harmon. Set in the 40's. He and his wife have six sons. The wife dies and the authorities take all the kids into care. They are treated badly in care and he fights to get them all back but it takes ages and the scene at the end when he finally gets them all back has me bawling every time.

The theme tune alone on Black Beauty makes me well up..

I recently watched Cocktail for the first time in years and started to cry fat ugly tears when they dance to an Everly Brothers song ... my old dad who is nearing a momentous and big birthday (but in denial about various health complications) loves the song.

For some reason it made me morbidly emotional. And that's so weird

rhowton your post made me remember the Cocktail one x

Not sure how many will know this one but it's an old movie called "Thunderbolt and Lightfoot" with a very young Jeff Bridges and Clint Eastwood. I won't say what happens in case anyone wants to go watch it, but I watched that age 15 and cried so much that I couldn't eat my Sunday dinner, my mum had to take it away and warm it up. My Dad, a big tough soldier, told me he'd cried too when he watched it.

Oh God, I know. I watched Ma Rainey's Black Bottom after he died. TBH it's not a brilliant film – too stagey – but him and Viola Davis together; oh my. He was a one-off, a force.

"The scene that gets me is when Laura Linney's character is finally getting together with the gorgeous guy from work. It's such a lovely scene then her brother rings & that's it." YES @EarringsandLipstick - have you seen the outtakes?? Where she visits her brother and he suddenly becomes violent towards her, then she ends up hugging and comforting him? Oh my god. Sets me off big time.

War Horse, at the end when the horse comes back to boy.
In 'Inside Out ' when the little girl is so unhappy and eventually bursts into tears 😔
Beaches- say no more
Patrick Swayze near the end of Ghost when he goes for good.
When Andy leaves the toys behind with the little girl in Toy Story

As as a PP mentioned Old Yeller I watched that tearjerker as a child. Funnily enough was just talking to DH about that film the other day. My other tearjerker is Kes that poor lad losing his kestrel.

Oh and Black Beauty… proper sobbed through that !

Both Emma Thompson and Kate Winslet’s devastation at love lost in Sense and Sensibility.

have you seen the outtakes?? Where she visits her brother and he suddenly becomes violent towards her, then she ends up hugging and comforting him? Oh my god. Sets me off big time

I know

It's so subtle & beautifully acted.

And the little vignette where she's putting on her lipstick waiting for Karl to leave ... and he says 'Night Sarah' and she says 'Night Karl', all brightly, then cries for a nano-second before picking up the phone to her brother.

Oh I'm upset just typing it.

On the DVD with the v/o, Curtis explains that initially the storyline was more ambiguous & when they screen tested it, the audience wanted to know more - what happened to them? So he purposefully made it clear that they didn't end up together, the audience were then outraged but he stuck with it!

Brokeback Mountain - I have only been able to watch it once. I cried so much in the cinema the entire front of my T-shirt was sodden. The absolute injustice of it was unbearable.

Steel Magnolias makes me sob too and Sally Field is phenomenal during the funeral scene.
