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!

I cried all the way through Belfast, absolutely beautiful film. My sister lives there so I was crying already at the opening credits.

The end of Thelma and Louise gets me every time - and it's my favourite film so I've seen it many times.

It's a Wonderful Life is another. When George is at his lowest and is snapping at his family, and then at the end as well.

Will never forget going to see Inside Out at the cinema, tearing up, looking over at DS (about eight or nine at the time) and seeing tears just streaming down his little face, then looking over at DH to see HIM crying too. Only DD was impervious, munching her popcorn. It's a family joke now that DH only cries at the births of his children and the deaths of imaginary cartoon elephants.

I just remembered ‘the wind that shakes the barley’. I went to see that at the cinema and was crying, out loud! There was one scene and I was really sobbing, I had to hide under my coat.

Watership Down - not watched it since I was about 8, I daren't.
Breaking the Waves - around 2003? I still cry thinking about it, I'd never watch it again.
Don't Look Up - sobbing mess!

Dumbo Sad
I also admit to almost crying during The Land Before Time quite recently.

Puzzled why people choose to watch sad films tbh, isn't life sad enough already?

3luckystars · 15/08/2022 11:57

I don’t know, maybe they feel a bit better after a good cry. I am making a list here, I think it would do me good to get a few tears out of my system this week.

CuriousMama · 15/08/2022 12:03

I was ready to shoot Marley so didn't cry at Marley and me. I wouldn't really hurt a dog but that dog needed training.

I cried at AI. Notebook. All of me? Think that's it's name? The one where he takes himself off into the wilderness and lives in an old bus? Plus others.
DH cries at a lot more than me.

NorthFaceofthelaundrypile · 15/08/2022 12:05

@CuriousMama - Into the wild? He died shortly before he would have been found?
I read the book and that made me cry too.

Slimemonster · 15/08/2022 12:11

P. S I love you

Derrymum123 · 15/08/2022 12:31

Angela's Ashes. Even reading the book sets me off crying.
Boy in the striped pyjamas. Obvious reasons.

The Bridges of Madison County

I was an absolute wreck coming out of the cinema

Me too

Yesn · 17/08/2022 13:31

A silent voice is depressing

JustlookingNotbuying · 17/08/2022 21:49

The Bridges of Madison County for me too. I have seen it dozens of times and the part where he is standing in the pouring rain willing her to get out of the truck makes me sob and sob.

isobel79 · 17/08/2022 21:51

The green Mile literally cried so much at the cinema

prepared101 · 17/08/2022 21:55

Goodnight Mr Tom
Marley & Me

JulyDreams · 17/08/2022 21:56

A dogs way home

TroysMammy · 17/08/2022 21:58

Disney's Greyfriars Bobby. I don't know why as I'm a cat person and the dog doesn't even die.

Jamaisy82 · 17/08/2022 21:59

Marley and me, (I love dogs)
Braveheart. My girl.

MarthaMayWhovier · 17/08/2022 22:10

Am I the only person that has ever cried at the Disney film, "Oliver and Company?" The start of the film is so sad.

CherylStreep · 19/08/2022 09:04

Cried through most of An Cailin Ciuin (The Quiet Girl) - such a moving film.

GinandTonic1975 · 19/08/2022 09:10

Steel Magnolias, Beaches, Schindlers List, Gallipoli, My Sisters Keeper, Terms of Endearment are a few of the films that have really got to me and been an absolute mess after watching

Hungryharriet · 19/08/2022 09:11

No spoilers, but the ending of 'Downton Abbey a new Era' made me cry.

Hungryharriet · 19/08/2022 09:12

And 'An Officer and a Gentleman.'

Dumbo
