    Plague Dogs. Great film. But it is proof that not all cartoons are funny or happy or even make you crack a smile the whole way through. In fact if you think you're feeling too happy, this is the film you need to watch

    Senna (2010). When the documentary moves onto Imola, I lose it every time. I well up in anticipation of what is about to unfold...

    In Love Actually when Emma Thompson's character opens the gift and it's not the one she had seen earlier and she cries in the bedroom and then composes herself. Breaks my heart every time I watch it.

    Marley and Me? Anything with a dog dying, or thinking they're dead. Turner and Hooch is another :/

    The final scenes of Schindler's List where the actors from the film, accompanied by the actual survivors they portrayed, go to the real Oskar Schindler's grave and lay stones on it. That just sends me into floods of tears, every single time. Even more than the little girl in the red coat. That whole film was a very hard one to watch.

    I also watched a little Shawshank the other night, but bowed out when Brooks was being released from prison, for obvious reasons. I don't need those negative emotions hanging over me before another working week starts. 'Tis bad enough, without crying over poor old Brooks.

    Animal Farm, when Boxer was being taken away to....you know....

    The end of Marley and Me. I didn't know how it ended before I started watching it. Boy, did I cry some salty tears that night.

    Generally, these days if I know in advance that a film is sad, I probably won't watch it. I'm too affected by it.

    Last scene in The Bridges of Madison County, where Meryl Streep is in the car fighting with herself whether to open the door and run off with Clint Eastwood...........I end up in convulsions crying every God damn time.

    Yep. One of the finest pieces of acting I've seen.

    Liam Neeson crying in Schindlers list when he could have done more. (at the end)

    Scene in Michael Collins when he is killed. The mix of scenes with She moved through the fair song.

    Cinema Paradiso, final scene watching all the cuts from the movies.

    Into the wild, the death of Alexander Supertramp.

    Dr Zhivago, his death scene. So close to Lara....

    Nooooo, no we shall not. We shall never talk, think or speak of that one ever again.
    Have already poured radiation blocking levels of cement over that emotional trauma. It's well buried.
    Please.

    I keep thinking of more. I know, I'm pathetic.

    The Yearling :(:(:(

    Old Yeller :(:(:(

    and also

    Les Misérables (more so the live musicals than the film, but the film was bawl-worthy, too)

    Remember watching A Dogs Purpose just after it came out. I cried so much watching it. Watched it with my dog beside me and that really didn't help the situation

    I was going to say that it was made by the same people who made Watership Down. It was like they thought Watership Down was too upbeat so decided to fix that with Plague Dogs. The opening scene involves them letting a dog drown in a lab and resuscitating him
    If you want an idea, you can watch the opening scene here then hate me forever

    With films like this and Watership Down and tv series like Animals of Farthing Wood growing up, you have to wonder how we're not all really messed up. :)
