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!

Lion. I started crying soon after it started and didn;t stop until it finished. I literally had handfuls of drenched tissues in my lap. never cried that much at anything.

Manchester by the sea.

Oh that film! I don't remember if I cried or if I was just stunned by its sadness. so achingly sad and true and not-Hollywood in its exploration of what grief can really do to a person.

Railway Children- “Daddy my daddy”. Always reminds me of my lovely dad who is no longer with us .

Schindler's List is the only film that's made me cry actual tears. I think I'm a tough nut to crack.

There was this film out years and years ago - about a white horse called Tir na Nog. Sure it was called Into The West.

Balled at that all through my childhood. Don't think I could watch it now.

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

Saw it at the cinema. Huge mistake. Just rows of people crying! 'Story ends with a boy holding on tight to his mothe and doing so he can let her go'

Lion

Jo Jo Rabbit. From the Shoes onwards

Schindlers List

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

None of us spoke a word

The crowd coming out of the cinema after watching Schindler's List was silent. It was eerie, we were obviously all so moved

Schlindlers list
Kramer vs Kramer
Bambi
Cathy come home
