Do you get emotional when watching films? If so what film makes you emotional?

I watched the Barbie movie last night, and I had quite a few tears throughout. Some happy, and some sad. It was the same when I watched John Davidson's movie, "I Swear" not long ago.

I wondered, does anybody else get emotional when watching films? And if so, is there any in particular?

    I love Uncle Buck @Strawberry1. Those films are definitely tear jerkers @Catherine21. Green Mile get's me too.

    I broke my heart at the end of The Green Mile … cried when they carry the bobsleigh in Cool Runnings and even cried when I thought Diego was dead in Ice Age … too many more to mention

    This from a man who never cries at family funerals

    Same. Lion King when Simba's Dad dies makes me cry.

    Another vote for Marley and Me 😭

    And The Land Before Time has always got me, every since I first watched it as a child. Even just hearing the music can set me off!

    Out of interest, why do people choose to watch emotional films? Isn't life emotional enough already?

    Personally I hate it, I never rewatch a film that made me emotional!

    I'm definetly getting more emotional with films as I'm getting older. I cry every single time I watch Wicked part 1🤣🤣

    But i do tend to avoid films that are known to be overly sad or emotional films too @OverlyAnxious, I much prefer light hearted or comedic films! What about you?

    Yes, I prefer light-hearted comedy myself now. Used to like action films but can't tolerate the stress & shock scenes in those any more.
