Inspired by the Music thread....what film scenes make you want to cry ?

I have two that immediately come to mind.

The first is appropriate given where I'm going to this week. The scene in ' Schindler's List ' when at the end the Jewish workers present him with the ring they made for him and he regrets that he could have saved more people....gets me every time.

The second was the ' Bus Sequence ' from ' The Remains of the Day '. Described as '' Probably one of the most tragic scenes in film history. Unrequited love, a love that dies a lonely death and takes two prisoners. ''

Blimey, I must be going soft in my old age....
 
The Railway Children "Daddy my daddy"

Dumbo's mum locked in a cage (not kidding gets me every time)

It's a Wonderful Life, pretty much most of the movie

Ali G In DA House, crying with laughter that is.
 
The bit at the end of saving Ryan’s privates where Tom Hanks is dying and he says to Ryan make sure it’s worth it, have a great life and it then switches to 50 years later and Ryan is kneeling crying over hanks grave crying with his family and grand children in the back ground 😭

Remains of the Day is a superb film from the Booker prize winning Anglo/Japanese author Kazuo Ishiguro, his films/books (Living was on Saturday Ch4 and is still available featuring our own Bill Nighy, it plays like an old Powell Pressburger film and is truly excellent in a time full of superlatives). Unusual in this day and age simple tales of everyday life and missed opportunities , memories and regrets no murders no DNA,no car chases no lunatics with chainsaws just thoughtful masterpieces.
 
The final scene in "An Affair to Remember" when Cary Grant finds Deborah Kerr who was crippled in an accident when they were due to meet on the Empire State and he realises why she didn't make their meeting.

A real weepie film moment.
 
The Marseilles scene in Casablanca. I'm not even a Francophile!

And when Emma Thompsons character comes clean to her sister about her doomed love in sense and sensibility. Manly tears.

Literally what I was going to say, along with the scenes of the young girl in the red coat from the same movie.

In the same vein, Oscar Friedmann's encouraging but realistic speech to his mentees at the end of "The Windermere Children".
