ET was the first film I saw at the cinema and I apparently sobbed for days, even when telling people about it - 'but I didn't want ET to go home' 😭😭😭 I still can't watch it now without crying
Me too. Every time. Even when they Both get ill And I know they will recover. Such an emotional rollercoaste.

I caught the bridge to terabithia one Christmas and didn't know anything about it and there's a certain bit that made me sob and even walking to the pub later on in the day I started thinking about it and sobbed again.
It was too much 😭

Muriel’s Wedding where she doesn’t notice her Mum as she leaves the wedding. Her Mum’s face breaks my heart! Then the funeral 😭 it’s one of my favourite ever movies, but that bit always sticks with me

My Best Friend’s Wedding 💔
Haven’t watched it for ages, and am actually now afraid to... because yep, I did it, fell for my male best friend 🤦🏼‍♀️
Anyway, I know Julianne was pretty selfish throughout the film. But in the end she did do the ‘right thing’, and let Michael go. Thus, showing that she really did love him.
I love it.

Schindler’s List

I never cry at films and I can’t remember another film I’ve cried at. But I watched it during lockdown and had tears streaming at the end whenthey give him the ring and he breaks down for the first time because he couldn’t save more people I just thought it was an amazing way to bring the film back to being about the Jewish people that didn’t survive instead of being a hero film. Emotional thinking about it!

I always cry at the Lion King when Circle of Life starts playing, I get goosebumps I don’t know why! Quite embarassing really, I was crying at the remake in the cinema the other year 😂

Armageddon
Les Mis
Most Disney films
 
Coco - it's the first time I've seen my husband cry at any film, never mind a cartoon. We were both such a mess.
Bicentennial Man - loved this film when I was a kid but watched it again recently and sobbed.
Song For Marion - not sure if anyone's seen this but saw it on BBC2 once, Terence Stamp's character sings in a choir in honour of his late wife. First time I ugly cried at a film.
Mamma Mia 2 - cried at the scene when young Donna gives birth to Sophie. I was at the cinema away from my 5 week old son for the first time. Just wanted to run home and give him endless cuddles.
 
I’d be shocked if this hasn’t yet been suggested but the one that breaks me EVERY time is ‘Ghost’. Even more heart wrenching now that poor Patrick died 😭
