No matter how many times I've seen it (a lot) The Elephant Man pretty much turns me to mush.

The Intouchables. Same. Haven't seen the remake but hear its good.

The end of Shawshank.

It's all down to the person at the end of the day.
I will admit I'd been in the middle of watching a few sad films at the time.

E.T. when Elliott has to say goodbye to his friend

Senna documentary had me in bits. Up and Toy Story 3 are excellent suggestions. Beginning of Up in particular is unusual in that it tends to bounce off the kids and really affect the grown ups.

Ok Thats enough recommendations for UP. Gonna watch now.

Heckler · 20-04-2019 1:30pm

The one that didn't affect me at all was Grave of the Fireflies. I know its up there in tearjerker territory.

Marley and me

CastorTroy · 20-04-2019 1:37pm

Lassie Come Home, as well as other old Lassie movies.

My Girl. "He can't see without his glasses"

And as I've said before Plague Dogs is probably the most depressing film I've seen

Cinema paradisio, lovely film, gorgeous score, lots of nostalgia.

Must admit, this one gets me a bit mushy.

Anything that has a dog upset or dying in it, I turn into an emotional bawling wreck. So for example Hachi, Marley and Me or A Dogs Life, those sad and protracted scenes where the dog slowly starts to decline in health despite still wanting to please their owner. Then you have the beginning of the end, where they cant stand up- the phone calls back to the kids who have fled the nest but have to rush back to say goodbye. The close up of his eyes as the vet says "its for the best"- his last wagging tail. Im just gone, cant take it. Even thought its as formulaic as you can get, it hits me in the guts every time.

Funnily enough, I can watch people getting tortured, shot, cut up and blown away no bother but I cant watch an animal suffer!

TerrorFirmer · 20-04-2019 5:46pm

Anything with a dog dying or becoming distressed - can't even look at the DVD cover of Marley and Me.

Especially after my own two dogs passed away very recently (at a ripe old age)...at this point I'd probably fall apart watching John Wick.

#1 dust in the eye ending.

The ending of Shawshank always has me moist, too. It was on TV the other night and had to be watched. Flawless.

I'm just the same, anything involving dogs, or indeed any animals and I'm a snivelling wreck, but if it's people involved, meh!

Didn't make me cry but my ex and I agreed to never watch it again and it's lived in the attic ever since (over a decade).

The start of A Matter Of Life And Death mists me up a bit. The presentation might be a little hokey but what you're actually watching is pretty grim (somebody listening to another person basically raving when they're about to die and both powerless to do anything about it).

Cool Runnings, final race.

"Derice, you dead?"

"No, man. I'm not dead ... but I have to finish the race".

The one film I cannot watch without becoming a sobbing mess is Field of Dreams.

The bit at the end where he gets to meet his dad " long before he had been beaten down by life"

I think it's something we can forget, that the person our parents turn into are not necessarily the ones they would have wished to become.

Even my kids laugh when it comes on, they go get me hankies

Afollower · 24-04-2019 4:32pm

The film 'Philomena' is the one that gets me - when she tracks down her son only to find out that he is dead.
And then I feel so angry when it turns out he is buried in the grounds of the convent in Roscrea and the bloody nuns have lied to her for years :mad:

The end of Behind The Candelabra. I laughed at so much in that movie, and I have laughed at Matt Damon's acting many times during his career, but the ending of that movie was very beautiful and moving

saabsaab · 24-04-2019 4:40pm

Song for a raggy boy. Very powerful great acting by Aidan Quinn and Iain Glen and based on true events.
