Manchester by the Sea is absolutely heartbreaking. Especially as it takes you a little while to work out what has happened. I haven't been able to watch it a second time even though it's a brilliant film as just too upsetting.

I cry at ANYTHING but this film left me cold. It's a well made film with great acting but it just made me feel dead inside.


The films that have made me cry in recent years;

The Notebook
Lion
Inside Out
Up
Stand By Me
Toy Story 3
A Monster Calls

I saw Coco in the cinema a few months ago with my ten year old son. Tears were flowing at the end with the scene with his Gran.. great movie.

I cried the 1st and 2nd time watching Coco, probably the saddest film I've seen as an adult.

Trainspotting, when the baby dies it's pretty heart wrenching

Bridge to Terabethia, I watched it with my son a good few years ago.

I was one of those lads who had a Tomboy Friend, she was a great pal.
Often got me in a headlock, she was very pretty.
Had a crush on her, she loved getting mucky, jumping into River's etc...
Staying out late at night.
Haven't seen her in year's....

So when Leslie died it really hit me hard.....

My God, that is one harrowing film. Very tough to watch. It's absolutely unforgiving in its brutality. The boy in it is magnificent. You can see him visibly age through the film due to the horrors he witnesses. I don't think I could watch it again.

Didn't make me blurb though. That's a fairly rare occurrence, more likely to happen to me with a song than a movie tbh. The ending of Dead Poets Society where they all stand up on the desks did get me though.

Hachi: A Dog's Tale - sobbed watching this

Great film. Another New Zealand film, but on the other side of the emotion spectrum is Whale Rider. There's a couple weepyvscenes in that also.

+1 this one really got me when I watched it in the cinema.

I kill Giants .

Watched it with someone who's mother had just died

The Breadwinner. Everything about that film is heartbreaking.

I think the score of a film often plays a huge part in how emotional some scenes are. Here were some films/moments from films where I felt particularly emotional:

About Time - scene with father near end of film.

Braveheart - throwing the sword at the end.

Return of the King - scene where they bow to hobbits (not sad, more like a long awaited release of emotion).

Dead Poets Society - climbing onto desks.

Marley and Me - if you have ever had a dog as a pet.

Beaches - Bette Midler.

hmmm

On the Beach - I read the book beforehand (which is showing its age, but is still a poignant story) and was prepared to be disappointed with the film, but the ending stirred the same sense of emotion.

Hachi: a dogs tale, at least with Marley and Me I only cried at the end but ****ing hell i cried for the entire second half of the Hachi movie

The ending of Cinema Paradiso never fails to make me cry a lot.

Forrest Gump

When Forrest meets his son for the first time and asks Jenny if little Forrest is smart or...

You suddenly see that Forrest is aware of his own limitations.

That his first thought on finding out about and meeting his son is whether the child has the same intellect, is very touching.

Really beautiful acting from Tom Hanks.

metaoblivia

Also, Okja. That film will rip your heart out. And Beasts of the Southern Wild. I also cried at Atonement.
