The Elephant Man - every time.

The Colour Purple - a brilliant film that has me going through a myriad of emotions. Has me in floods of tears at the end.

I can't remember which actress it was who was asked it ET made her cry.
"Oh no, dear, I cant get sentimental about something that looks like a hoover pipe" was her reply.

Petula Clarke/Peter O' Toole version of Goodbye Mr Chips cripples me every time. Still love the relationship they had though and regularly punish myself with the video.

I thought Terms of Endearment was extremely sad and I did cry.

I'm fairly blubby myself these days.
My daughter used to tell me I had ice cubes in my veins when I laughed at her my my mum for crying at 'surprise, surprise'.

MissA I forgot about Goodnight Mr.Tom I have watched it this week, yes I cried. Also Goodbye Mr. Chips (the Martin Clunes) version.

Basically I am a blubber

Watched Saving Mr Banks again recently, that always makes me cry.

Educating Rita.
I really wanted her and the professor to at least have a fling...

MissAdventure Sun 02-Jan-22 16:41:44

Dumbo and Bambi, too, of course!

MissAdventure Sun 02-Jan-22 16:41:05

The green mile.
Goodnight mr Tom.
Edward scissorhands.

Millennial Man, gets me every time.

I also cried at the latest James Bond, No Time to Die.

I mean the o es that you can't watch unless you're alone.

Mine is A. I. Its so sad, his longing to be real and wanting the 'mother' to love him. It's rather like the Pinocchio story but really emotional.
