Tearjerker films and tv?

You know when you feel like you need a good cry, but need something to get you started? Is there something you watch? I love a good tearjerker but do have to be in a certain mood.

For me I can think of:-

E.R - when Mark Greene died!
Cold Feet - when Rachel died and the James Nesbitt speech at her funeral
Derek - series 2 when the dog died. I don’t think I’ve ever cried as much with a tv show
My Girl - gets me every time!
The Help - the little girl at the end

I am an emotional type so it doesn’t take much. What films or tv make you cry?
 
Christ, loads. I'm an emotional bleeping wreck. A hard faced witch on the surface but a hopeless romantic underneath.

The first season of The Affair is so beautiful, with lots of emotional scenes as it's actually really about grief, but Ruth Wilson in the doctor's office in episode nine absolutely floored me and still does every time I watch it. I'm sure that scene single handedly won her the Golden Globe. Just don't watch beyond the first season as it turned into a complete tit show.

The one with the prom video in Friends always makes me cry. Always.

Fleabag. It's a running through an airport kind of love.

There are several episodes of Quantum Leap that make me cry particularly anything with Sam leaping home and the trilogy. I was very invested in that show 😂

I burst out crying at the end of the last series of Race Across The World a couple of weeks ago and made a right twit of myself in front of the other half 🙈 I hate crying in front of people. But it was SO close and so tense and I actually didn't mind who won as I liked them all (whereas I really didn't like the couple who won last year) It was really emotional and it just felt like sheer relief. Then when the winners said what they were doing with the money just about finished me off!

Aiden's suicide in Coronation Street was very close to home at the time and I felt like my heart had been shattered into a million pieces by the end of the week. It came up in my Facebook memories a couple of weeks ago so I rewatched all his last scenes again.

Chernobyl. The final credits had me sobbing in front of the other half and I didn't even try to hide it. We binged it so it was all very intense and emotional and those final credits are just sobering.

There are loads more.

I don't really watch a lot of films and tend to watch the same ones over and over again so I don't have to commit two hours of my life to something and then be disappointed.

I cry at lots of them but Lost in Translation has a very special place in my heart. I watched it one Sunday afternoon, about twelve years ago, when I was on my own, and it just really touched me. I was intrigued by it and I thought about it for days afterwards. I think it just caught me at the right time. As a result, I didn't watch it again because I was scared I wouldn't feel the same way about it. Anyway, about two years ago, I decided to watch it again and I genuinely loved it. I love the final scene where you can't actually hear what they say to each other but you really want to know. I just cried and cried and watched it every day for about a week. I need to see it again soon. But I can totally see why some people say it's a load of old shite because nothing really happens! 😂

And I always cry at the end of Uncle Buck 🙈

Like I said, emotional bleeping wreck!
 
I’m quite an emotional person but films rarely make me cry, I can only think of two:

Lilya 4-ever - just breaks my heart every time, like I’m a complete sobbing mess throughout half of it

The Book Thief - the ending just gets me, I cried at the end of the book too. It’s so sweet throughout then my heart ends up getting torn out

Yes the E R episode and they read Marks letter is proper snotty crying. I love E R it's my favourite TV show ever.

The 16 and pregnant episode where Caitly and Tyler give Carly up for adoption.

The little mermaid at the end where her dad turns her human

The opening scenes in UP . Thank
god I watched this in the dark in the cinema

One of my stranger ones is undercover boss. Like often almost every episode. No idea how staged it is but the people at the receiving end of the gifts always seem so greatful and like it is truly life changing
 
The last episode of Derry Girls season 1 - honestly didn’t expect it and cried like a baby.

Greys Anatomy- Basically 90% of the episodes.

Call the midwife- Sister Evangelina and Barbra episodes.

I also cried recently at guardians of the galaxy 2.

Me Before You is also good for a cry
 
Futurama - when Fry's dog was waiting for him until he died

I genuinely think about that scene all the time 😂😂 I didn’t realise anyone else felt the same 😂 I always think about the song too.
‘If it takes forever, I will wait for you. For a thousand summers I will wait for you. Till you're back beside me, till I'm holding you’ 😭😭
Especially since getting a dog. It’s so true, dogs will sit and wait for you forever without ever knowing when or if you are even coming back 😢
