No matter how many times you watch them!

Casper, when the mum comes back.

Friends, when Monica is going to the sperm bank & Joey chats to her about how he sees her future & gives her a big hug. (I was desperately broody & single first time I watched that & it always still gives me the feels!)

The start of Titanic where they show that old footage & play that music.

Nick Cave.... Nick Cage singing it might not have the same effect!!!

The end of Call Me By Your Name when Elio stares into the fire after Oliver has told him he’s getting married.

The bit where Phoebe tells an arguing Susan and Ross how Ben is because he has so many adults fighting over who gets to love him the most and he’s not even born yet.

Gets me every time!

So many different point through tThe many seasons of greys anatomy. But the one that sticks out to me is after the season 7 plane crash, where Mark seems to be making a recovery, cracking jokes etc….then he goes downhill, ends up on life support which is switched off after 30 days as per his healthcare directive 🥺 watching all the other characters come to terms with the fact they are “unplugging” him that day and saying their goodbyes was heart wrenching. I full on ugly cried 😭

Thé scène in Only Fools after Damien is born and Del is looking up at the sky, holding him, saying ‘you’ll go out and do all the things I was too afraid to do, then you’ll you’ll come back and tell me if they were as good as I thought they’d be’. I’m tearing up even writing it.

ReallyReallyReallyAm · 16/06/2022 20:24

Ringmaster There was loads that got to me in Grey's anatomy too! (Spoilers for Grey's!)

'Bonnie' with the train pole, where the man says 'Its not fair' when he finds out he will be saved over her, & Meredith is saying 'What about her' & trying to save her. Serious sobbing from me every time!

When Adele dies & Richard goes back to the wedding & shakes his head to Meredith & he just looks so broken.

When April was trying to make the right decision about her baby & Jackson's mum gave this lovely speech to her about how God would understand her choice, & just the whole birth, amazing acting on that one.

Lots of those mentioned.

Lance in Cucumber - it was just so shocking and inexplicable

Colin in Its a Sin

I cried at the Derry Girls finale recently.

Daddy my Daddy. It always reduced me to a soggy mess but I used to love that. Since I lost my Dad I just cannot beat to watch it again, I just can't.

I quite like soppy crying. Like when Dawn came back and took Tim's hand in the office finale.

I judge myself for this a lot as I am not generally one for manufactured sentiment but when Rose and Gio did their Symphony dance on Strictly last year I did just burst into tears! Massively unexpected and not like me at all!

bravotango · 16/06/2022 20:27

The bit in Friends when Chandler tells Erica that he'll learn to be a good dad but Monica is already there - she's a mother without a child

ladyamy42069 · 16/06/2022 20:28

Yup 😭 so he could afford to send Billy to dance school.

Lurleene · 16/06/2022 20:37

I was going to sat the beach scene in About Time too - makes me sad at how much I miss my own Dad and also sad that I can't revisit when my own children were small.

Another film that gets me every time is Philomena, the wickedness of how her son was kept from her even when he went looking for her as an adult. My poor son has had to endure me snotting all over him after I watched it as I'm so grateful for him.

flightofthesevenmillionbumblebees · 16/06/2022 20:41

One tree hill - school shooting episode when Jimmy has the gun pointed at Keith and he says so heartbreakingly 'I just wanted them to like me', it genuinely feels like my heart is breaking every time I watch it

UpToonGirl · 16/06/2022 20:48

In The Greatest Showman when Hugh Jackman is watching the singer in awe and his wife looks back and forth between them and knows what he's thinking. Michelle Williams conveyed so much in her face within about 3 seconds.

Latenightreader · 16/06/2022 20:54

Frasier had a wonderful line in turning comedy into tears. There is a bit where they are watching home movies of Hester and she mouths 'I love you' , looking at Martin is heart breaking. There is another scene where Marty goes to the parole hearing of the boy who shot him and it gets me every time.

GreatOak · 16/06/2022 21:16

An odd one: the ending of the “new” Battlestar Galactica. I sobbed and sobbed and sobbed.

A lot of the ones already mentioned by PPs. Always when a character dies and a loved one meets them and comes to take them onwards. 😭😭😭

AmyandPhilipfan · 16/06/2022 21:29

I cry at lots of film and TV. Sad tears or happy tears. But the one and only time I've had to leave the room because I was crying so hard I couldn't breathe was the funeral episode of 8 Simple Rules where the dad had died and the kids are saying how much he meant to them. It upset me so much because the actor had died in real life and you could tell his costars' words were so heartfelt. And my own dad had died not too long beforehand so I think I felt it so deeply due to that.

The Color Purple. The scene at the end when they meet again. Properly howl. I bowled when I read the book as well.

Every time. I could weep just thinking about this film Flowers

Purpleavocado · 16/06/2022 21:49

The Body episode of Buffy. Muriel's Mum sitting at the back of the church in Muriel's Wedding. Loads of things make me cry though - Last of the Mohicans, Million Dollar Baby, Schitt's Creek

bbqhulahoop · 16/06/2022 22:01

My Girl!

Lovetok · 16/06/2022 22:06

Oh. And the ending of Fleabag! I’ve watched it about 5 times and every time my heart breaks.

Whylurkwhenicanjoinin · 16/06/2022 22:09

Most of mine have been mentioned already but two more spring to mind..... Finding Dory, when we learn the parent have laid the stones out every day, oh dear god
Also, District 9, great film but the ending with the rose almost finished me off

AnneShirleysNewDress · 16/06/2022 22:13

So much in Greys, Mark & Lexi, Derek and I always cry at 'he's very dreamy but he's not the sun, you are'. Matthew in Downton Abbey. I can't hear the music from Up without getting teary.

LoisWilkersonslastnerve · 16/06/2022 22:15

There are many but one that irrationally upsets me is the end of Still Game when they all just fade away. 😩

Lovetok · 16/06/2022 22:17

@Whylurkwhenicanjoinin oh hod yes Finding Dory!
and another one that had me sobbing… the final episode of The Good Place!

I watched a film on a plane, I can't remember the name, set in Oz, 2 young lads enlisted (Anzac)
The whole film made me hurt
The hostess asked me if I was OK

Was it Gallipoli? If it was the final scene was devastating- I came out of the cinema in floods of tears

ClearButtons · 16/06/2022 22:19

Agree with a lot already mentioned but two that get me are most of The film The fault in our stars and also the ending of Big Fish.

Also there is a few episodes on scrubs that get me going but in particular, the one with Ben's funeral and also the musical episode where she has a brain tumour and is scared about what's going to happen.

This is Gallipoli. I saw it as a teenager and I sob proper tears every time I watch the end. Full on ugly crying.

Brassed Off - when Pete Postlethwaite’s in hospital, and when the decision’s taken to shut the pit, and the ending…

Chariots of Fire - the ending.

Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King, when Frodo goes into the West.

Angel, after Doyle has died and they watch the advert they were filming back - “Is that it? Am I done?”

😭😭😭😭
