You instantly cry

[thebodylovesspring]

Just listening to Abbas slipping through my fingers'and can't avoid crying much to the kids amusement.

Also for me nannas speech to Barbara in the 'Royal family'when she says she just wished to be with her family and not in a home.

Also Daddy my Daddy in the railway children.

Also opening sequence of up

What's your weak point?

OK read through the thread and I'm weeping now.

Others I've thought of:

Singing the lines from the christmas carol:
"and man at war with man hears not
the love song that they bring
oh hush your noise, you men of strife
and hear the angels sing"

At the end of Les Miserables when Valjean dies "and remember the truth that

one was spoken, to love another person is to see the face of God....

Do you hear the people sing
lost in the valley of the night
it is the music of a people who are striving for the light
For the wretched of the earth there is a flame that never dies
even the darkest night will end and the sun will rise

They will live again in freedom in the garden of the Lord
They will wak behind the ploughshare they will put away the sword..."

I'm just in floods of tears by that point...

Reading "Paper Dolls" by Julia Donaldson

The "Last Post" Bugle call. Obviously can be used in non-funeral contexts but I'm hearing it at funerals more often than not these days.

I was in such floods of tears at the end of seeing War Horse on stage at the National Theatre that I have refused to see the film version in case it isnt as good. I would hate to tarnish the memory with a second-rate imitation.

Thankyou headinhands for the youtube link at 19:53

The Last of the Flock by Wordsworth is sad, I don't think Michael Gove can have really understood the romantic poets.
All of Brassed Off, and all of Billy Elliot but especially the scene in the snow with the piano.

Black Beauty
The Christmas Tree - or something like that
Bambi
The Lovely Bones - so heartbreaking

Lately by Stevie Wonder
Everybody Hurts

Harry Potter books 6 & 7
Noughts and Crosses

Off the top of my head.

Reading The Little Match Girl. Think Somewhere over the rainbow will be top of my list as it will be played at my beloved Nana's funeral next week.

'Guess that's why they call it the blues'

'Living years'

'Wuthering heights'

'Over the rainbow'

Sob sob sob

Stories from the WW1 trenches, those poor boys.

Neville shutes " the beach" I looked like a lab rat for about a week after reading that book, my eyes were so red from crying.

Nope to childrens choirs though, they are just creepy.

Oh homeward bound that's a blast from the past - I loved that as a kid.
Millionaire cat anyone???

'Never ending storeeee aaaa aaaa aaaa'

'Sob'

DIY SOS is usually enough to get me going.

Lost by Michael buble.

My DS performing at school

Children's choirs.

The Rainbow Bridge poem.

The Littlest Hobo theme tune.

God, I really must stop this, my eyes are puffy!

lassie films

bambi

most films when a parent or child dies, im rubbish at not crying cried at a rugrats movie years ago when chucky wanted a mum...

Lassie yes

Oh how I cried at that little collie constantly lost

Yy to The Little Match Girl - many HC Anderson, in fact.

thebody - for some mad reason, I read the screenplay of Cathy Come Home. The ending is even more awful when written down - more detail

I stupidly read it about two weeks after having 5 month old DD and DH found me literally unable to speak. The only reason I managed to calm down was because he was terrified that someone had died and I had to try and speak to reassure him

The play explains how it's based on true stories that the playwrite - Jeremy Sandford - researched. Just ghastly

The saddest film ever, the kind you will think about for days and still well up: Dancer in the Dark Bjork's performance, especially the end scene is spectacularly, heart-breakingly sad.

The saddest, lovliest children's book is The Giving Tree. About a tree who loves a boy so much she lets him climb her as a boy, chop her down to make a boat as a man, and let's him sit on her stump, the only thing she has left to offer, as an old man. "And the tree was happy." SOB.

CeliaFate! DON'T!!!!

The Rainbow Bridge poem.

First read that a month ago when my cat died. sob

I cried yesterday- I was watching Trooping the Colour!

The scene in Forrest Gump when Forrest visits Jenny's grave and tells her how proud she'd have been of little Forrest, it's the first time the whole film you feel like he really understands more than you think, I blub. Everytime.

When they meet on the beach in Shawshank Redemption.

When John Coffee gets executed and Tom Hanks stands there, tears in his eyes just watching.

The Notebook when Allie finally remembers and they lay together.

When I broke up with my ex, I listened to You could be Happy by Snow Patrol and I still get a bit teary hearing it now! Also Kissing you by Desree. My current DP told me the song reminds him of me as he remembers the scene in the modern version of romeo and juliet when they first meet and that song places, no words, but you can tell that there is an attraction between the two, and he says this is how he felt when he first ever saw me.

God this thread is making me so sad, I've had to sneak into the loo for a cry.

'Baby mine' used to make me uncomfortable, but I have a 1 year old now and the thought of being parted from him and him needing or wanting me, it's devastating. Stupid Disney.

Also I'm not getting on with my mum right now and it's making me bloody sad that one day that could be me and my kids.

Yes, rainbow bridge always gets me too.

'Like a Bridge over troubled water'

Sob sob

WAAAAAH just reading this thread has me sobbing.

My list:

Sophie's Choice, the moment when she chooses. "Take my little girl".

The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe when Aslan is killed and the girls stay up all night with his body and cry until they can't cry any more.

Any birth scene on TV.

When Leona Lewis won X Factor and broke down when singing after winning.

When Susan Boyle started to sing in BGT and the audience just gasped.

Richard Strauss' Four Last Songs, especially the last two.

The little lad who starts "once in Royal David's City" opening Carols from Kings on Christmas Eve.
