Just watched Mary and Max. The last time I cried this much was my grandpa's funeral 3 years ago.

[Sir Bobby]

Mary and Max is just a weird, glum film IMO. Not at all happy but not terribly sad

There's been quite a few golf ball in the throat moments for me and a few of them have been mentioned in this thread.

When Goose dies in top gun and Maverick goes to see Gooses' wife (Meg Ryan). Deffo a lumper and a cold coming on moment for those trying to see who is gonna cry.

Most films with animals in them that you know will die or get hurt. It kills me, so I try to avoid watching those, now.

An officer and a gentleman, when Richard Gere's mate hung himself. That brought a massive lump to my throat.
The champ: Oh man! I cried like a baby over this when I first saw it. That Ricky Schroeder as the kid, he had my throat in bits.

The green mile: When that guard killed the mouse and John Cofee brought it back to life. My god, I'm a right soppy puff. lol

My wife told me about Marley and me and said she sobbed her heart out, so I thought, " ok, that's definitely not one I'll be watching, because I know I'd end up a mess.) It's not so much the tears with me, it's that horrible feeling of the throat ache, like having a tennis ball jammed in it. It wears you out.

Armageddon: I already had the lump in my throat leading up to Bruce Willis detonating the bomb, then the killer bit was when they landed and the Colonel said to Liv Tyler, " may I have permission to shake the hand of the daughter of the bravest man I've ever known." Or something like that. Well! I just cried like a baby and jumped up and ran out of the house screaming into the street, then knelt down in the middle of the road and shouted, "NOOOOOOOOO....WHYYYYYYYYY."
Actually that last bit was made up, but I did have a big lump in my throat. It would be easier to just bawl your eyes out but something inside us blokes, fights that urge and we have to suffer the throat ache.

The film that actually made me cry the most and I mean a full on sobbing was the film " don't leave me."
It starts off with a newly wed couple who move into their dream home and are blissfully happy.
The man is a construction worker and the woman is a teacher.
The man goes to work and forgets his lunch box and his wife sees that he's left it, so she drives to his work place, which is a high rise building. She shouts up to him to come and get his lunch box.
He jumps into the lift to go down but the lift cable snaps and it plummets to the ground, killing the man.
The woman is distraught and goes into her shell for weeks, just praying for her husband to come back. She could take it no more and decides to hang herself and sets up the chair and rope around the beam in her home, then gets on the chair, puts the noose around her neck, then grabs a photo of her husband and holds it close to her chest as she goes to kick the chair away.
Just then, a voice comes into her head, like a clear but distant voice and she recognised it as her husband, who said " I am with you, don't leave me, I will be back in your arms, just don't leave me."
The woman gets down from the chair and sits wondering whether she's losing her mind, so she goes to see the local medium, who tells her that she's been waiting for her. The woman asked how she knew and the medium said, " because your husband is waiting for you you have to go back to the building site."
The woman drives to the building site and sees the site manager and tells him that she's been told to come to the site.
The site manager asks her if she's brought her husbands lunch box and she says, "well, no, surely you know what happened."
The site manager looks puzzled and asks her, "no, I don't know what happened - did he forget to pick it up?" She said, " is this some kind of sick game?" and he said, " woooh lady, I'm just enquiring about his lunch box, as your hubby made me ring you to bring it over, that's what I thought you were here for."
The woman looks in her car and sees the lunch box on the seat. It's her husbands lunchbox and it's made her extremely confused, so she grabs it and shouts up to her hubby, believing he's not there.
Sure enough he appears and shouts down, "I'll come and get it,love" and goes to jump into the lift but his wife shouts, "NOOOOO, DO NOT GET IN THAT LIFT, THE CABLE IS WEAK."
The cable gets checked and sure enough, it's badly frayed and would have killed him.
The wife is so relieved, she breaks down crying and realising she must have been transported back in time but as she's thinking this, she gets hit by a big truck that appears from nowhere and is killed, so her husband gets in the lift and plummets to his death and they meet up on a cloud with wings on them but she farts and blows a hole n the cloud and they both fall through, snapping their wings and they both plummet to the ground and were double killed.

Actually that wasn't really a film. I just made it up for no real reason.

Yeah I know. Even nurse Ratchet's agreeing with you. She's stood behind my back with my medication.
