* Hardest movie I ever saw was Sophie's Choice - I tamped my emotions down so much watching this one that I actually got a migraine.
* Toy Story 3
* Life is Beautiful
* The Green Mile
* Dumbo
* A.I.
* Philadelphia
* United 93
* Old Yeller

Lion ... About the 'lost' boy in India adopted by Australian parents..especially when he eventually gets to return to visit his mother as a young adult. My friend and I were both 'in floods'.
Tangled..when the floating lanterns are launched. Really felt my heartstrings plucked.

Holiday Inn gets me everytime and makes me miss family no longer with us

I found The Notebook so badly acted by Gena Rowlands, the Director's mother and so ludicrously schmaltzy, that I laughed rather than wept. I only wtched it for James Garner.

There's an Indian version which I think is better. Zindagi Tere Naam

The films which made me cry:

Shadowlands
Watership Down
Brokeback Mountain
Old Yeller (but I was 11 when I saw this)

Goodbye Mr Chips (Robert Donat and then Peter O'Toole)
The Snow Goose
Ring of Bright Water

Even hearing (or even imagining it seems) the theme from Watership Down can make me cry My husband used to sing it to our baby.
Tears now in fact.

'Who will love my children' 1983 film lady at work lent me a dvd not my usual sort of film to watch a bit corny for me I thought but was literally sobbing at the end lol.

sussexborn, you reminded me that DD2 took her little sister to see the original Lion King - she moved rows too.

Youngest daughter howls at all sorts of things. Having watched West Side Story on video dozens of times, she still howls when Tony dies.

Practically every film I've ever seen, even many comedies have moving scenes in them.

I can't think of any that stand out but I'm surprised no one has mentioned Brooklyn yet.

Yes, JackyB, Brooklyn was lovely and it did make me cry.
Death in Venice starring Dirk Bogarde always makes me cry
no matter how many times I see it.

Random Harvest - a lovely old B&W film with Ronald Coleman and Greer Garson.

Spartacus...leaves me a blubbering wreck.
Million Dollar Baby.
Tale of Two Cities ( Ronald Coleman version).
Lassie come home.
The Vikings.

Elephant Man - I was still crying a week after I first saw it! And still do now if/when I watch it.

Then the soppy animal films - Bambi, the Yearling, The Incredible Journey, ET (animal???).

Life is Beautiful
Like Water for Chocolate
Love is a many splendour thing

Your before me

Sorry- You before me

Schindlers List

Love Me Tender with Elvis
ET
Top Gun (when Goose gets killed)

Love Story and Brief Encounter ... still bring a lump to my throat.

Reading through the lists is reminding me of so many other films that made me cry. Some of the old Hollywood films fill me with nostalgia of watching them with my mum which makes me cry....even the happy ones!

Beaches - gets me every single time
Les Miserables
Mamma Mia - here we go again. Don’t laugh - the end bit makes me well up.

Our souls at night - read the book, then got the film. Cried both times.

I'm a sucker for old Hollywood movies and it doesn't take much for me to well up.

'Love is a many splendored thing'
'An Affair to Remember'
'The Roaring Twenties'

to name but a few.......

Truly, madly, deeply. Juliet Stephenson's tears trigger mine.

Carve Her Name With Pride. True story of WW2 resistance fight

Oh E.T. every time!! I cry buckets.
West Side Story when Bernado dies.
Bambi

Mind you I do cry very easily at films- I have to check before I take GC that there is no sad bit. I can vouch for Toy Story 4- saw it last week & it is fine
