Movies that made you shed a tear

I cried quietly at the end of the original King Kong.

The final race in Days of Thunder when Cole finally over-comes his fear after his near-fatal crash.

I watched it one day out of the blue, one of the most touching pieces of Film I have ever seen. Brilliant.

Not a big deal for me to cry as I’m an overly sensitive eejit, but I cried so hard when Emma Thompson’s character realized her husband was cheating in Love Actually.
I cried all the way home. Was emotionally wrecked after it.
It really hit a nerve!

The bridges of Madison county especially the scene where Francesca is in the car with Richard & Robert is up ahead waiting for her & she has to fight the urge so strong to stop herself leaving the car & going towards Robert. Gets me every time.

This is Spinal Tap. Near the end when Nigel turns up backstage, and David rejects his offer of reuniting and touring Japan (Sex Farm went top 10 there!). The look they give each other of sadness and yearning for their friendship, but not being able to overcome their pride, always gets me, before Nigel breaks the impasse by saying "David...do a good show, alright?"

Seen it hundreds of times: still shed a tear every time.

When Bing Bong sacrifices himself to let Joy escape the memory dump " take her to the moon for me ok"
Bing Bong's a ****ing hero, a ****ing hero I tell ya!!!

PsychoPete · 24-04-2019 6:34pm

Basically cried the whole way through A Dogs Purpose

Interstellar when Cooper is watching the video messages is pretty hard watching, especially if you have a son or daughter

razorblunt · 25-04-2019 11:51am

"Take her to the Moon" in InsideOut was an emotional gut punch. I was hungover in the cinema with the wife and was not ready for it!

There's a small scene at the end of Friday Night Lights too where the Dad gives his son the game ring that was incredibly moving.

+ 1 for Field of Dreams too, "Dad ... wanna play catch"?

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.

SaltSweatSugar · 26-04-2019 9:12pm

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!

amacca · 26-04-2019 9:33pm

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.

Yes, I cried watching this. I've a dog in her final days too. Haven't been able to watch it in years.

The best/worst dog dying movie of all time Old Yeller.

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

dastardly00 · 02-05-2019 11:58pm

Not a film, but... the end of the last episode of Band of Brothers

ERG89 · 03-05-2019 12:03am

I just watched Roma, everything about Cleo going into labour was quite upsetting to watch.

Spook_ie · 03-05-2019 12:45am

The Green Mile with Coffey's execution

Jurgen The German · 03-05-2019 6:48am

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.

Mackman · 04-05-2019 3:21am

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 was just about to write the same thing. Really touching when he plays catch with his dad. Has me welling up every time.

Cantona's Collars · 04-05-2019 10:16am

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.

The Boy in the Stripped Pajamas. Very sad film.

Me Before You: Only seen it recently. It was ok but I actually prefer the remake that was out this year. Think its done far better and it had a bit of everything in it and was very sad too.

Your missing an excellent film by not watching Marley and Me.

Star Trek The Wrath of Khan. I always shed a tear at the end even now even do I know the outcome but it has even more meaning and is even more potent now because Leonard Nimoy is gone.

It's a heartbreaking film. I'm not normally one who cries during movies but this had me a mess.

Another one was Manchester by the Sea

Been a while since I saw it but the police station scene stands out, the music, the acting, was beautiful done but such a sad film

fergus1001 · 06-05-2019 3:34pm

a dogs journey and the sequel a dogs purpose made me sob multiple times in the cinema

doesn't help if you recently lost your dog

AMKC · 06-05-2019 4:27pm

ET is another sad film.

artvanderlay · 06-05-2019 10:47pm

Babe:

When Fly is sad about her pups being taken away, she's just lying on the ground lethargic, and Rex doesn't know what to say to her. Babe wanders into the barn, and says "may I call you Mom?", and Fly springs to life licking Babe's face. Lovely scene.

Actually, I cried at many, many moments in Babe! :pac:
