+1 for Marley and Me.

Our dog took his last trip to the vets a couple of years ago, at the age of around 16, and that film brings back all the joys and pains of sharing your family life with a dog.
 
I can't remember ever crying at a film. There have been the rare occasion when a particular scene has brought a lump to my throat & I've been a bit close to crying but actual crying, I can't remember any actual crying.

+1 for Bambi.
I saw it in the early 60s, might have been the first movie theater movie I ever went to. Bambi's mother getting killed really bothered me. Don't remember if I cried or not but I know I felt like it.

Senna the movie. Still shocks me watching that crash footage and whilst I didn't have tears rolling down my face (I'm a man after all :whistle:) it did put a lump in my throat.

I watched Les Miserables yesterday and am still trying to recover. Each character has their own "I'm about to die" song designed to be crushingly sad and they all dismantled me bit by bit until by the end, when Wolverine Jean Valjean marched off to heaven, I was in tiny little empty cold shaking pieces :surrender:

By one of those coincidences, my daughter, who is having an inset day, has just started watching the Sean Bean Black Beauty. I have opted not to watch it with her...

Yesterday she watched Peter Pan, so "I do believe in fairies, I do, I do" gets added firmly to the list.

Little House on the Prairie...never fails to get me blubbing like a blubbing blubber from Blubbington.

Marley and Me?! As I understand it, the film is about an uncontrollable tw@ of a dog who snuffs it. Where's the sadness in that?

Senna is one of the saddest films I've ever seen.

lump in throat definitely counts.

I used to throw my mother the tissues as soon as Little House on the Prairie started.

remember watching that aged about 11 with my mum and aunt... brilliant film, utterly enjoyable from start to fin... what... he can't just die... no... "I'm going to bed." I said, before leaving the lounge and :cry:

The only other film i've cried like that at was also about boxing... and no, it wasn't Rocky V
