    Couple of blasts from the past:

    Madame X

    The Last Snows of Spring (Italian)

    We saw the latter in the old Astor Cinema on Eden Quay and on the way out the manager and staff were handing out (much-needed) tissues.

    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 :)

    Yep that's the one that gets me as well, the missus slags the hell out of me because of it 😁

    Thats because she crys at most films with any tearjerker scenes 😂🤣😂

    Always seemed to watch these types of movies in The screen, now demolished in Hawkins street.

    My movie: Sophie's choice.

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

    This is my father. Another powerful performance by Aidan Quinn. I've watched it several times but it still never fails to choke me up a bit.

    I’m sure there are loads (it doesn’t take a whole lot to make me cry!) but some of the most obvious ones I can think of are;

    Titanic: the scene with the old couple in bed while the water rushes in and the scene where the band play ‘Nearer My God To Thee’ get me every time.

    End of Watch: the shoot out and the ending always makes me tear up, for personal reasons. Great film.

    Me Before You: I’m not really a romantic film kinda girl but this one makes me weepy for sure.

    My Girl. Doesn’t really need any explanation!

    I refuse to watch Marley and Me or any film about a dog where the dog dies. I can’t handle it!

    Field of dreams (I'm not a big fan of baseball btw)

    Anthing with dogs dying as other posters have mentioned.

    And not a film but Mike and the mechanics the living years never fails to reduce me to tears.

    Dances with Wolves, just so bad, and any movie since with Kevin Costner, so bad.

    Surprisingly not mentioned yet, Dear Zacahary fcuking WRECKED me, it's about 90 minutes long and I sobbed on 3 or 4 different occasions while viewing. Havnt watched it since I first did and probably will never be able to bring myself to, mainly because I have children now.

    The end of Terminator 2, the thumbs up.

    Of mice and men, had me in ribbons.

    Since I had kids, I find myself choking up much more easily, especially when kids are involved.

    I defy anyone not to be touched by this, especially if they own a dog. It puts Marley and me in the ha'penny place. (I hated Marley and me anyway)

    Ditto on any film where the dog might die. It's kind of ironic that many people who love dogs can't bear to watch films where the dog dies.I even looked away when watching Independence Day. I know the dog lives but it's very close.

    Philadelphia for me when they play the home video after the funeral for the Tom Hanks character. The music and the setting was very sad.
