I know it's been out for AGGGGGGGESS but I watched P.S. I Love You the other night with the luscious Gerard Butler in it...I lost my husband in 2013 and it just made me go all slushy inside...beautiful film.

Glory with Denzel Washington

Was so descriptive with my weepy retelling of the plot to my friend that she cried without actually seeing the film Sad

Oh and in I am Legend when his dog dies I wailed I was heartbroken

A Walk to Remember.

How could I forget the very first movie that made me cry. :'(

I'm a crier but...

The end of Field of Dreams - "no Ray, it was you". (Closely followed by Doc Graham stepping over the line) sob sob.

And the classic scene in Love Actually - Emma Thompson in the bedroom straightening the sheets, blotting tears with the back on her hand is, without question, heartbreaking.

"The Theory of Everything" had me properly sobbing my heart out. There were volunteers collecting for the charity Mind outside the cinema screen at the end and one of the ladies gave me a big hug bless her!

Haatchi
Marley and me

Ghost was the first film that actually had me sobbing in the cinema. Saw it as a teenager with a group of friends and we were all wrecks at the end. Unchained melody still gives me a lump in the throat!

Whattheactualfuckingfuck · 28/02/2016 20:57

Haachi. Much weeping last night from both me and DP. In fact I've never seen him cry so much. Also 'the angriest man in Brooklyn' with robin Williams. Oh dear god, where are the tissues???

SagaNorensLeatherTrousers · 28/02/2016 20:59

Has anyone seen Dancer in the Dark with Bjork? Uncontrollable sobbing by the end.

JoyceDivision · 28/02/2016 20:59

Stand by me... it left me distraught as a teen

My Girl

Bing bong leaping out of the cart in inside out

The green mile... It wasn't going to all come good and he knew it..did the guard try to be kind when arranging the execution?

JoyceDivision · 28/02/2016 21:01

The curious life of benjeman button... So so sad..so many ways of having to say goodbye to some one

Oh yes yes yes to Truly Madly Deeply! I absolutely adored it when it came out and watched it repeatedly (partly because my best friend was mad about Michael Maloney, who was The One Who Wasn't Alan Rickman).

After dithering for about three years, I finally decided to buy a copy at vast expense a few months ago and it was every bit as brilliant as I remembered. Worth every penny. Such amazing acting. I wept buckets. And then a few weeks later Alan Rickman died and I was so glad I had watched it already, or I'd have cried even harder.

Born Free - it was the first film I went to see with my dad. I was only 4 and on the way home he asked me if I enjoyed it and I just burst into tears because Elsa died at the end. I can't even hear the title song without blubbing.
Up - because it reminded me of all the heart ache we went through before DS miraculously arrived. However, we can't see a squirrel now without shouting "squirrel" and we see a lot.
One Day - the book made me sob and so did the film. Partly the story but mostly because I finished uni the same year and the timeline was full of memories.
Any of the Jane Austin adaptations. Just a sucker for a love story.

iknowimcoming · 28/02/2016 21:21

Up close and personal - Robert Redford
Australia with Nicole Kidman - I'll sing you to me, Mrs Boss - sob!

Dumbledoresgirl · 28/02/2016 21:22

Love Story.

Even my mum used to cry at the end of that and she is one of the least emotional people I know.

RubySparks · 28/02/2016 21:23

Birdy (Vietnam pic with Matthew Modine), especially the ending.

Porgy and Bess which I saw on TV as a young child.

FedUpWithBriiiiiick · 28/02/2016 21:26

A Very Long Engagement with Audrey Tautou made DH and I sob on the sofa. Just beautiful.

jollyjester · 28/02/2016 21:27

When i was small i cried my eyes out to 3 men and a baby when she came and told the baby away. Most of the movie went over my head as a child but i knew deep down how much those men loved mary.

Takes a lot to make me cry at a movie but there's a scene in suffragette that made me cry. (I'll not spoil it in case people still want to see it) but it slammed home how that only 100 years ago women really had no say in anything.

The Colour Purple, can't believe more people haven't mentioned it.

Cyrano de Bergerac with Gerard Depardieu. Sobbed loudly in the cinema!

Bookaboo · 28/02/2016 21:59

A couple of people have said it already - The Notebook. It was over 10 years ago but never cried at anything like that since. Both me & DH were still sobbing for about half an hour after it finished. Weird.
