The bit when 13 men are about to be executed, what the Nazi officer makes them do and how they do it. Absolutely ruins me. Every. Single. Time.
When they have to select someone to be executed with them, and that guy steps in front of the woman? We watched that at school. Crushing
That's the one. The way all of them and their 'partners' stand awaiting the bullets - holding hands, hugging, with no resentment or bitterness to each other, just understanding and solidarity. Outstanding scene.
For the older people like me, the last ten minutes of "Soldier Blue", which depicted the 1864 massacre at Sand Creek. The audience simply filed out of the cinema in total silence at the end, not believing what they had just witnessed.
Hachi: A Dog's Tale .. the closest I've ever come to crying at a film, it was a battle I somehow came out on top from... It's a tearjerker to say the least (based on a true story)

In the 'Blind Side' where the Sandra Bullock character has bought the adopted American defensive quarter back player, Mike Ohr, gentle giant, (who had rough upbringing) a bed.
He says 'I never had one of those', and she said 'what a futon' and he said 'no a bed'. The Sandra Bullock is not one to cry and has to leave the room. That gets me pretty close.

Fantastic movie, and never expected the ending when during the interview about the book she said Robbie actually died on the last day of the evacuation
You may well be joking, but the Cancer Research 'I Shouldn't Be Here' advert makes me cry (don't know if anyone knows which one I mean? Can't immediately find it on youtube).

That'll kill his back
Depends how many layers are in the futon. Not as comfortable as a good quality orthepaedic mattress. The Sandra Bullock character had tons of money in the film so I guess she didn't skimp. Better than dodgy sofas or the ground in any case.
ET Up The Champ Kramer Vs Kramer Earthlings (documentary)
UP? Explain that one please
I haven't seen it but many people say it is a very touching animation film.
It is. My kids were watching it the other day and I got totally sucked in. The animation is exceptional. Beautiful soundtrack too.
Bridge to Terabithia is also profoundly sad in parts. It's supposed to be a kids movie but some of the scenes caught me completely cold. Extremely sad and touching in equal measures.
The ending to the "The Bridges of Madison County" is the one which gets me though.
The final scene of The Killing Fields, when The journalist meets up with Dith Pran again and "Imagine" by John Lennon starts playing as the credits start to roll............gets me every time.
I've not cried at a film, but the ones that leave a lump in my throat are Stand By Me - the sentence right at the end when he talks about not having friends like when he was 12, jesus does anybody. Just gets you thinking about mates you've lost / no longer see etc etc.
Comments
Haven't you seen the first ten minutes?
Even my mrs is shocked at some of the films being mentioned.
Real life stuff is the only thing that gets me going, such as reading and hearing real-life accounts from Hillsborough, 9/11 etc etc.
Films?? Nah - well not yet......
Marley and Me
Bucket List final scenes
Toy Story 3
The Notebook
Total wuss with films, am I.

The other film is Green Mile.
Going back though, The Champ was always the one.
Must be an animal thing!
