Films that made you cry

ET

Sophie Scholl, The Final Days made me sob out loud in the cinema, and an early Isabelle Huppert film, The Lacemaker, actually broke my heart, I heard the crack.
Both sponsored by Kleenex

Fried!

Steel Magnolias and Fries Green Tomatoes. It didn't help that I was pregnant in Steel Magnolias, and I had little boy already! My sister told all the people around me I was pregnant because I was sobbing , lol.

GreenGran78 - not strange atall - displacement - its a coping mechanism.
I worked in a Hospice for many years and managed my emotions professionally.
Once, after participating in a particularly sad situation I was walking home past a pond. In it was a male duck frantically trying to ‘lift’ his mates head clear of the water ( she was obviously dying/dead.)
I was distraught - and, even now, the memory of those ducks upsets me.
It was, for me, ‘safe’ to let my emotions out over the ducks than over the countless sadnesses I had been involved with with people/families etc over the years where I needed to be clear headed.

Gone with the Wind. Book is even worse but, I have read it several times. Am I a masochist?

Bridges of Madison County
Philomena-because many years earlier I went through the same thing, shouldn't have gone to the film! Afterwards went to a cafe for a cup of tea and the waitress and I were sobbing together.
The good result was it had a very cathartic effect and finally brought me closure. Thank you Judi Dench.

Roman Holiday for me every time.

Don't laugh, King Kong. The 1933, '76 and 2005 versions!

A kid for three farthings (the children thought the one horned goat was a unicorn and it died)
+ The day they gave babies away
were 2 Films that made my throat ache and tears fall as a child.

Beaches
+ The end of Schindlers List where the actors walk to his grave partnered by the real life person they portrayed in the film
Are 2 films that have that effect at the end, as an adult.

That Persil advert used to make me cry when the mum was late collecting her little boy from school because she had made such a hash of mopping the kitchen floor

I am well known in my family for crying at anything! BUT "Wonderful Life" and "Up" left me dry eyed!

Kramer v Kramer
The Green Mile
Breakfast at Tiffany’s (where she finds her cat again!)

KatyK I have recorded The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas, but don't know if I can face watching it. I cried buckets when reading the book!
I am a sucker for anything remotely sad or emotional. I even well-up when I see people saying their farewells at airports and railway-stations. Funnily enough, when it comes to real-life situations I am the tough one in our family. I have coped with deaths and serious illnesses without cracking-up, and didn't even shed a tear when my husband had a stroke.

Do you think that there is something rather strange about me?

Well, a few more to add to my list, having seen others mention them:

Inn of the Sixth Happiness
Saving Private Ryan
Still Alice

And I know there must be so many more I've forgotten!

Not a film but watching War Horse at the theatre. I cried all the way through, forgetting that he was a puppet.

Another I just thought of
The Inn of the Sixth Happiness.
Ingrid Bergman ( forgive the spelling)

I almost forgot to add
Dead Poets Society!

Highlander,
Saving Private Ryan ,
Bohemian Rhapsody
Toy Story 3
The Time Travellers Wife , including the book. I struggled to read the text through my tears.

Loads that have been mentioned also.. Bridge to Terabithia and more recently although not a film but a series on Netflix called... When they see us... had me in tears

Pantglas1
Bridges of Madison County and Out Of Africa.
Meryl Streep's sultry tones ' I had a farm in Aarfrica!' sets me off.
Having travelled to the very place where Out of Africa was made is of even more significance as it brings back happy memories of the one I shared this visit with.

Also That Day We Sang with the late, great Victoria Wood.
