Children singing. Particularly choirs!

Oh yes Up killed me. Who the hell wrote that? Sadists.

WitchWay · 15/06/2014 18:38

Everyone cries at "Daddy, my Daddy^ - perfectly normal Grin

Tonicandgin · 15/06/2014 18:38

Always always cry in 'Love actually' when Liam Neeson's character does the speech at his wife's wedding.

I cry even more since his actual wife died. Poor man

ExitPursuedByABear · 15/06/2014 18:40

I cry at most things.

I am such a bloody softie.

And yet hard as nails.

When Monica and Chandler got engaged in Friends Blush.

WallyBantersJunkBox · 15/06/2014 18:42

Oh gosh yes "The Queen of Sheba" is almost unbearable to watch. Sad

When they organize a brass band for Bren's Christmas Eve birthday on Dinnerladies....

When I hear a Welsh choir singing particular songs from my childhood.

When I drive over the Severn Bridge. Blush

TheRealAmandaClarke · 15/06/2014 18:44

Eric Clapton's "tears in heaven"

The opening credits to "terms of endearment"

snakeandpygmy · 15/06/2014 18:44

The Little Prince...in fact most of Oscar Wilde's fairy tales. But I am an inveterate sobber and will well up at almost anything

MikeLitoris · 15/06/2014 18:44

Any group singing or dancing. Even crap films like street dance 3.

The worst films for making me cry are

7 pounds (will Smith)
Schindlers lost. (the red coat in the pile :()
Up (first ten mins)
Toy story 3 (last ten min)

Hundreds of songs. Of the top of my head is

Million love songs-take that
Just like a pill-pink
Behind the wall-tracey Chapman
Small Bump-ed Sheeran

When I drive over the Severn Bridge

In which direction Wally?? Grin

KoalaFace · 15/06/2014 18:45

Beaches. Jesus the end of that movie is a killer.

Yeah the beginning of Up is so touching and sad.

The last Harry Potter book. Oh and the first Harry Potter book

The Lion King.

Oh god I could go on forever.

What a marshmallow.

LEMmingaround · 15/06/2014 18:45

The end of homeward bound/the incredible journey - there was a point I couldn't even describe without my eyes leaking.

WallyBantersJunkBox · 15/06/2014 18:47

stephen - both, but for very different reasons... Grin

MikeLitoris · 15/06/2014 18:49

I tear up coming back over the bridge too. Usually at the toll price though!

ExitPursuedByABear · 15/06/2014 18:49

What. The Incredible journey? With the dogs and the Siamese cat?

RhinosAreFatUnicorns · 15/06/2014 18:51

Black Beauty theme tune - every time. Even DH humming it can make me start to well up.

ExitPursuedByABear · 15/06/2014 18:51

STOP IT

WhereDoAllTheCalculatorsGo · 15/06/2014 18:54

Programmes like 'surprise, surprise' when long lost family is reunited.

I have to admit the Severn bridge (and other feats of civil engineering) makes me cry too.

Rule the world by take that

WitchWay · 15/06/2014 18:54

Agree children's choirs - carol concerts especially

Pretty much any sad bits in films Lassie

WitchWay · 15/06/2014 18:56

"Lost love" type stuff in films or songs gets me - I was inconsolable for a good hour after watching "The Bridges of Madison County" Blush

Only1scoop · 15/06/2014 18:57

Watership Down....

Can't even watch the film anymore....

Just the music sets me off Confused

Only1scoop · 15/06/2014 18:58

Strangely enough ....Limahl singing 'Never ending story' makes me instantly wail also....

I'm quite odd

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 15/06/2014 18:59

Lost Christmas - the Eddie Izzard film where the little girl stands on the ice.....
