I was still crying when I got home from the cinema after 'sixth sense'. I know, pathetic, but I totally didn't see it coming and was devastated.

'Up' - brutal, I wept.

KoalaFace · 15/06/2014 21:36

Oh god slithy that quote.

It's really got to me.

SaucyJack · 15/06/2014 21:37

Someone else has already posted the clip- but Derek Redmond at the Barcelona olympics has me howling every time.

rumbleinthrjungle · 15/06/2014 21:37

Headinhands you utter, utter..... I'm drenched and the dog is distraught.

I can't read any further on this thread, I thought Puff The Bastarding Traumatising Abandoned Bloody Dragon was as bad as it could possibly get.

And then I met you lot!!! Grin

John Lewis Christmas ads - the little girl becoming a grandma, and the little boy who couldn't wait to give his parents his gift. Cynical exploitation, gets me every time.

TyrannosaurusBex · 15/06/2014 21:38

The film AI - the idea of the little boy enduring centuries alone to see his mother one last time.

The theme tune to Black Beauty.

Puff the Magic Dragon.

I tear up at loads of things.

arundeljones · 15/06/2014 21:39

Gallipoli. All those boys...pointlessly....I was inconsolable and cannot watch any war movies now

PersonOfInterest · 15/06/2014 21:40

And 'I watch the sunrise' (for any church goers here)

OscarWinningActress · 15/06/2014 21:40

The hymn that goes "Holy, Holy, Holy...Lord God Almighty". Not religious but it gets me every time.

Remembrance Day Parades.

The part in My Dog Skip where they are talking about him getting old as he is lying on the bed and then he sort of fades away until the bed is empty....I feel sick even typing that Sad.

Only1scoop · 15/06/2014 21:41

The deer hunter....film and theme choon....Born on 4th July.... Infact any war film....

Unwatchable Hmm

ImogenQuy · 15/06/2014 21:41

Yes, the end of Les Mis, FishWithABicycle. I saw it in the cinema after a colleague had killed herself (it was a day or two after the funeral), and I was crying so hard for the last few minutes that I couldn't see. I had to sit in the cinema for ten minutes to calm down afterwards.

cantpooinpeace · 15/06/2014 21:41

A brass band.......any piece will set me off!

ImogenQuy · 15/06/2014 21:42

The weird thing about Les Mis is that I didn't think it was any good, but the end still had me in floods!

.I always try to brave it out but haven't yet got to the end with a stiff upper lip.

Flash mobs do it every time. Plus any other crowd reactions where people all react in the same way -like at the end of Its a wonderful life.

And Ive just had tears reading thebodys reason for posting.

GoldenGytha · 15/06/2014 21:45

Black Beauty (Both book and WB film)
A Little Princess
The Secret Garden

Arthur's funeral in First Knight
Dobby dying

And yes, OMG, The Queen of Sheba!

Also the other day watching My Cat From Hell, this poor cat was so traumatised after being in a house fire that she wandered about her new home just wailing in terror Sad

I cry at just about anything!

monkeymamma · 15/06/2014 21:45

'To my brother George, the richest man in town,' - Its a Wonderful Life (dissolves into blubbing).
Dh cried at Stardust which made me love him even more :-)

WeddedBliss · 15/06/2014 21:47

Pearl harbour, the scene where Danny is dying.

'You're going to be a father Danny!'

'No, you are'

Bawling every time.

firstchoice · 15/06/2014 21:47

Oh, TyrannosaurusBex,
I agree, AI is in a league of it's own for unbearable sadness...
I recently bought the dvd but don't know if I can bear to watch it....

CarmineRose1978 · 15/06/2014 21:48

"Unchained Melody"

"Oh captain, my captain"

The end of The Time Travellers Wife (the book, not the film).

The bit in Saving Private Ryan when you see (but don't hear) the army guy tell Ryan's mum that three of her sons have died.

Tony Harrison's poem Long Distance II. I first read it just after my mum died.

Only1scoop · 15/06/2014 21:48

Phantom of the Op....

Scene with....

'Wishing you were here again'

snakeandpygmy · 15/06/2014 21:49

The Green Fields of France

The Last Post - Carol Ann Duffy

As well as visiting the WWI battlefields we went to the Menin Gate in Ypres where they have played the Last Post for the Fallen every night since the inauguration of the memorial in 1928, WWII excepted.

And yes to whoever said High Flight

slithytove · 15/06/2014 21:49

Sorry koala :(

Agree with les mis, agree with John Lewis ads too

AndIFeedEmGunpowder · 15/06/2014 21:50

YY to baby mine scene in Dumbo

Oh the lyrics! I CAN'T BEAR IT!

WeddedBliss · 15/06/2014 21:53

Oh John Lewis...the one from a couple of years ago where the little boy is waiting to give his present.

Just thinking of the song from that and I can feel myself going. The others haven't affected me, i'm in floods with that one though.
