Dumbo, when Dumbo visits his mom in the cage thing and she can only reach her baby with her trunk through the bars and she rocks him and sings to him. I just can't watch that movie. ... I'm now a sobbing mess.

I hate that movie. One day my sister was like let's watch this in the movie theater and we ALL thought it was a happy movie about dogs. I cried EVERY SINGLE F*****G TIME the dog died. But mostly Ellie. I cried the hardest when she died cuz I've always wanted to work in things with animals like dog training of any kind, vet, search and rescue, that kind of things

There are quite a few.
A Quiet Place when the father gives his life to save his kids.
Idk why I cried but in Avengers Infinity War when Wanda had to kill Vision and when Thanos sacrifices Gamora.
Iron Man's and Black Widow's deaths in Avengers Endgame.
They didn't have me "bawling like a baby" but I did shed a few silent tears.

Rabbit Proof Fence. From 5 mins in my mum and I started crying and didn’t stop. It is a bit of a personal movie for us (I am Aboriginal adopted at birth by my gorgeous parents).
It’s a mix of it being a true story, how wide spread it was, how people were treated then and in some instances even now.

Up. I can’t watch the beginning anymore because When I saw Ellie Fredrikson die and the music turn sad I just bawl. They used the song in an Apple commercial and after I watched it I cried because the grandma died and the grandkids missed her and that broke my cold dead soul, I have a heart that can’t handle sad scenes and music.

Watched this film when I was about 12 with my mum. When the women that Schindler paid to save end up at the concentration camp, I was screaming and crying for them. Luckily they had an actual shower and not the gas. Then at the end when they make him the ring. Me and mum were crying so hard.

Forgot to mention The Boy In Striped Pajamas. Both of these movies it’s like… I don’t like them but I appreciate them? I like how it’s well done and portrays the horror of WW2, but not like it as in “Good movie 10/10 super entertaining”. It’s hard to explain.

I’ve got a few: Dumbo (Already mentioned but I agree), A Dog’s Purpose (also mentioned), A Monster Calls, My Girl, and The Fox and the Hound. The scene in the Fox and the Hound is the one where they are talking. Todd: Copper? You’re my very best friend. Copper: And you’re mine too, Todd. Todd: And we’ll always be friends, forever, won’t we? Copper: Yeah, forever!

The Good Dinosaur made me ugly cry the entire time I watched it. Arlo’s dad dies, but there was ONE funny scene where they ate fermented fruit and got drunk, that was pretty hilarious and when Arlo’s dad’s ghost told him to save Spot the human. Spot’s parents died and he became an orphan ! But he got a family to take care of him. Still can’t watch it without crying my eyes out!
