The Bridges of Madison County for me. Heartbreaking story of chance meeting between Clint Eastwood and Meryl Streep turning into a lightning love affair between the two ending in separation to save her boring marriage
Blubbed like a baby at that one. So did half the cinema.

Excellent film. Saw it on Amazon a few years ago.

I likened it to a modern day Brief Encounter one of my favourite and most heart-breaking films of all time - with a great musical score which included Rachmaninov’s Piano Concerto no2 in C minor 😥

O.H.M.S.S George Lazenby delivers a genuinely emotional Bond.

Operation Daybreak.
Final scene with Anthony Andrews and Timothy Bottoms is not historically accurate, but full of pathos. Particularly as the end titles then show what happened to the other protagonists.

Silent Running. The little service robot, all alone maintaining the forest.

The ending to Les Miserables always gets me, when Jean Valjean passes, with Fantine leading the way for him. Chokes me up every time.

And the bit where Eponine dies at the barracade. Ok. I'm a mess.
