    In many different universes, simultaneously.
    I should have specified, of the movies I've seen. I have not seen Cujo.

    How about a more recent example (non-dog related)?

    Dobby's death in the Harry Potter movies.

    Oh, you'd hate A Dog's Purpose, then. The dog keeps dying and getting reincarnated over and over again.

    Toy Story 2 — during the montage of Jessie the Cowgirl’s owner leaving her in a box in a field... Damn you, Pixar!

    LOTR: The Two Towers — during the montage of Arwen’s life after Aragorn’s passing, with the music, etc.

    LOTR: Return of the King — same as stated above, from when Aragorn is crowned to the end credits.

    Apollo 13 — at the end, during Tom Hank’s monologue, about ‘when we’ll be going back to the Moon’. Call me a pessimist, but I just don’t see it happening in my lifetime...

    Cheers,

    Most recently, COCO left me a soggy mess.

    That's what you get for sitting next to the kid that gets so excited he flips his drink.

    Every time I watch Inside Out, I cry when Bing Bong jumps out of the wagon so that Joy can make the jump and return to Riley. His disappearing breaks my heart. Every. Single. Time. :wah:

    Shoot. I'm getting teary-eyed just thinking about it. :(

    There seems to be a trend with Pixar movies and i understand and share the sentiment. I was choked up quite a few times when watching their movies, they do have the blend down between poignant story, humor and heartfelt moments.

    The 1969 British film KES. I'm not saying why because I don't want to give spoilers. It's a great film especially the wonderful Brian Glover.

    Northern kitchen sink and working class drama has a way of engrossing me to the point where something minor can be very emotional both happy and sad. It's not far from the Dickensian life of struggle and hardship with a bleak future but humour is never far away.

    The pub scene in Educating Rita always gets to me.
