Which films really made you cry?

For me...
Pursuit of Happiness
Elephant Man

There's definitely more but I can't think and I've had 2 gins so I'll be better thinking tomorrow.
But I just saw a clip on LinkedIn from pursuit of happiness and it made me cry just from the clip!

A Star is Born. Gaga version.

The Magdalene Sisters.

The Pianist
12 Years a Slave

The saddest film I have ever seen in all my life is
A Monster Calls.
Cried and cried and cried.
And cried....

The Bridges of Madison County

I was an absolute wreck coming out of the cinema

Gallipoli. I went on crying in the pub after! Just devastated. I was early 20s and it was the first time I'd really thought about what a war was for real people.

Dead Poets Society
The English Patient
Absolute floods for both of them. I was much younger though, haven't really cried at a film for ages.

Me before you
A star is born
Les miserables

Lion

Manchester by the sea.

Elephant Man was the very first film to make me cry. My mum took me to see it in the cinema when I was 8.

More recently, Nomadland... for me, it was a life-changing film. I watched it last summer- just after my brother died and just before I found out my husband had been abusing our daughter for 5 years. It's such a beautiful film about being alive, about grief, among other things. It really has stayed with me, that film. The 'Fern and Bob Wells' scene kills me especially because it's real. Bob Wells is not an actor. None of the nomads are, apart from 'Fern'/Frances McDormand. I choke up if I even think about that scene. The 'Swankie' scene too... because it's real. It's from the heart.

There are so many films... Land of Mine is another one. Devastating. Such a tough watch. The Pianist... beautiful.

The Green Mile always gets my husband.

I cry at anything. Even Encanto when I first saw it!

Encanto made me cry too

Steel Magnolias
Who will love my Children
The Notebook
Up

All the Disney films get me.

The first one to really make me cry was City Of Angels with Meg Ryan and Nicholas Cage. I was much younger then though.

Room

There’s a Korean film called Brotherhood about the Korean War. My dad had it on DVD - I was ill for a week off school when I was 15 or 16 and really bored, I just put on because there wasn’t much else left to watch, it definitely wasn’t my usual thing, I thought I would just fall asleep.
I was hooked, it was the most heartbreaking thing I’d ever seen and I cried a total of 6 times!

Schindlers List

I was still crying after, all the way home - for the rest of the evening

None of us spoke a word

Marley & Me and Beaches.

They're my go to films when I need a good cry.

Truly, Madly, Deeply

Philomena. I just start crying at start and keep sobbing til it's over.

There's this 90s film about a seal called Andre that always makes me sob.

I, Daniel Blake

11 pounds
beaches
man on fire

The fox and the hound, I’m yet to watch it all the way through.

Holding the man, again, I haven’t managed to watch it to the end yet.

Lion.

Big hero 6.

Dear Zachary.
it’s more of a documentary than a movie. I shall never ever watch it again. It haunts me and I’ve never cried like that over somethinf I’ve watched on TV.
