Oh God. Have just listened to Highland Cathedral Sad. does anyone get sort of a physical reaction to sad things? I get chills and a feeling of blood leaving my face. So weird Confused.

YY to Plague Dogs. WAY worse than Watership Down.

Tim McGraw's version of Red Ragtop. Uncannily close to home Sad.

Phaedra I've asked dd to find out more tomorrow. Dh said tonight "just bloody take it" but he didnt really mean it (we have one young springer already). I will either try do something myself or report to the RSPCA when dd finds out more tomorrow as it's been on my mind all day.

pigluscious · 15/06/2014 22:57

What about that bit in Dr who when he's about to tell Tose he loves her? That gets me every time.

Finding Never land, and that j.m Barrie/Peter Pan quote

"You know that place between sleep and awake, the place where you can still remember dreaming? That's where I'll always love you, Peter Pan. That's where I'll be waiting."

I can't think about that without tearing up.

Awks · 15/06/2014 22:58

That bloody Incredible Journey book. And yy to The Fault in Our Stars. Oh my.

thebodylovesspring · 15/06/2014 22:58

The part in Beethoven's 9th Symphony just after the quiet alla turca section where the full choir blasts in. It's at around 12.50 on this.

Mix - Beethoven 9th Symphony - Movement IV - "Ode to Joy":

Anything real or fictional involving cruelty to animals or children.

thebodylovesspring · 15/06/2014 23:03

daisy another beautiful quote.

only1scoop sorry Flowers

Seriously hope this thread has been cathartic and sisterly and not just upsetting. I really hope so

The end of The House at Pooh Corner

BrianTheMole · 15/06/2014 23:06

The end of Merry Christmas Mr Lawrence.

The scene at the dump in the film 'The lovely bones'.

Billy Bragg Tank Park Salute. here. About his father dying. Its worse on fathers day.

thaliablogs · 15/06/2014 23:10

Oh god. Everything.

anyone see 'how to train your dragon 2' today? That bit at the end where hiccup is...well I'll kill the spoiler. But that.

And Up of course. And Toy story 3 obviously. And ' once there were giants' by martin waddell. Sadist. And 'owl babies' and 'knuffle bunny 3' and 'daddy my daddy' but think we've agreed you are inhuman if you DON'T cry at that. And that bit in billy elliot where he sings the letter from his mum. The end of sleepless in seattle (even though it's not a very good film). And the end of 'homeward bounders' and 'toms midnight garden' - I can't actually read again as it makes me so distraught. And the end of the film of 'secret garden', not the book so much.

I'd better stop. But everything, basically.

ScooseIsLoose · 15/06/2014 23:13

The end of west side story gets me every time when tony kills Bernardo and then anita tells tong Maria is dead so he goes shouting chino to come and shoot him, and then he sees Maria and just as they are about to run into each others arms chino shoots tony. Im always a blubbering wreck at this point especially when the somewhere song starts I feel testy thinking about it, west side story may well be my favourite film!.

tony teary (stupid phone)

thaliablogs · 15/06/2014 23:16

scoose oh god yes west side story EVERY time

toavoidconversation that ER episode is EVIL. I can't EVER listen to that version of 'somewhere over the rainbow'

thread is making me cry but also making me grateful to realise i'm not the only total sap out there.

Awks · 15/06/2014 23:18

Fast Car. When my dh's dad died I found him sitting on the floor, crying and listening to that, 23 years ago. Kine ll, had forgotten that.

ScooseIsLoose · 15/06/2014 23:19

Also the last episode of sex and the city when big goes off to paris looking for carrie and finally finds her! Ah I had proper tears at that .

snakeandpygmy · 15/06/2014 23:24

BrianTheMole. Bloody Tank Park Salute does it for me every time. I saw him sing it the night I got the news that a dear friend of mine was terminally ill and since then it's been even worse.

And Warren Zevon - Keep me in your heart is another one that turns me into a soggy mess

spiderlight · 15/06/2014 23:26

Catherine Cookson's picture book 'The Mongrel'. I cannot read the last two pages without crying my eyes out. DS frequently asks for it at bedtime just for the amusement value Hmm

Daddy, my Daddy, obviously. I cried in the school playground because of that the first day I went to pick DS up - I'd been in hospital for his first few weeks of Reception and then very poorly at home for several more weeks, so we were well into October before I managed a school run. He came to the door, not expecting to see me, and his face lit up and he shouted 'Mummy!' and then turned to his teacher and went 'My mummy!' and I was off! Blush

I'm not allowed to watch Black Beauty. The last time I watched it I cried for about four hours afterwards.

Thisvehicleisreversing · 15/06/2014 23:33

Everything mentioned sets me off too, I'm a proper blubberer.

The film Heavenly Creatures with Kate Winslet had me sobbing big, gulping, wretching sobs the first time I saw it age 18. I had no idea what it was about and finding out at the end that it was a true story and the friends would never see each other again made me hysterical. I blub all the way through it now.

Also chasing cars by Snow Patrol reminds me of the time after my dad had died. Despite my usual emotional self, I hadn't felt able to truly grieve and hadn't cried in the first week or at his funeral. I was making the kids beds one morning listening to the radio and that song came on. For some reason it opened up the flood gates and I sobbed and sobbed all day. All the unspent tears came out then.
I can't listen to that song now.

TheFairyCaravan · 15/06/2014 23:34

Nimrod

Abide With Me - we had that at my Gran's funeral.

Songbird- Eva Cassidy

The Remebrance Parades.

When the fallen service man are repatriated.

The videos of the servicemen and women coming home to their loved ones. Having been a loved one in that postion it makes me bawl.

The thought of DS1 moving out very soon. It breaks my heart.

PersonOfInterest · 15/06/2014 23:34

Pathetic but "how much do I love you?"

I always pretend to whisper the last bit because he's asleep but really it's because I'm choked.

PersonOfInterest · 15/06/2014 23:35

Any service personnel being reunited. It's so poignant and touching. Oh shit I'm off again...

spiderlight · 15/06/2014 23:43

PersonOfInterest Have you seen the Youtube video of a classful of children being told that there's a soldier coming in to talk to them about the army and then he walks in and one of the little girls realises it's her dad back from Afghanistan? I wailed.

LetsFaceTheMusicAndDance · 15/06/2014 23:44

The chapter 'The Mirror of Erised' in Harry Potter 1. Every time.

I have to turn the radio off to avoid 'Chirpy Chirpy Cheep Cheep' if I typed out why, I'd be crying before I'd finished.

Toy Story 2 and 3 especially.

The funeral of the Liam Neeson's character's wife in Love Actually.
The Emma Thompson bedroom secene in that film.

The song 'Under the Sea'.

I could go on...
