Like a lot of others I cry at "Daddy, my Daddy," The Bridge to Terebitha and Bright Eyes in Watership Down.

Also The Naming of Tishkin Silk, the end of the last episode of Blackadder Goes Forth and the end of Labyrinth.

And the end of Alfie (original version) when he sees his son, but he's watching from a distance I think, and no one knows he's there, and then he walks away. I'd just split up with DS1's dad when I first saw it, and I just fell apart at the thought that he might one day decide to just walk away from his child. (Nine years later he hasn't.)

No spider but just the thought of it is enough

WeddedBliss · 15/06/2014 23:51

Homeward Bound - when Shadow comes over the top of the hill and Peter runs to meet him.

I was sobbing, dh and the dc were looking at me like I was a lunatic.

WeddedBliss · 15/06/2014 23:52

Also the kids film All Dogs Go To Heaven.

AgadorSpartacus · 15/06/2014 23:53

The end of Lilo and Stitch.

"This is my family.

It is little and it is broken but it is good. It is good."

Since my Dad died I feel like that sums us up. I cry every time.

BrianTheMole · 15/06/2014 23:53

snakeandpygmy I'm glad someone else knows it. It gets me every single time. I'm sorry about your friend.

Jamie T song - Sheila.

A friend of mines name is mentioned in this song, not sheila or stella, and it always made me think to ring her or message her to say hi. The lyrics had no other relevance as its about someone overdosing.

I'd moved away and hadn't seen my friend for 4-5 years.

She passed away earlier this year in tragic circumstances as a victim of domestic abuse. She fell to her death, whilst 6 months pregnant, leaving 2 children behind. I listened to the song a couple of days after receiving the awful news as it was something that was always a mental prompt for me.

The line "When I fall, no one catch me..." gives me the shivers and makes me cry for obvious reasons.

A bit personal, I know, sorry if this brings the tone down.

NeitherTheChimeNorThePlace · 16/06/2014 00:06

The Littlest Homo theme tune. :( I just want to take him home.

Grumpyrealist77 · 16/06/2014 00:06

And Wreck it ralph when he recites his "I am bad. And that's good" mantra while saving the day for the princess by punching the mentos into the diet coke lake.
Surreal and ethereal.

ShakyTheStork · 16/06/2014 00:08

I could only get through half of this thread and ended up a sobbing wreck.

My main ones are Christmas carols by our Town Band. Reduce me to floods of tears instantly.

Any occasion whereby I have to set foot in a church. Weddings, christenings, funerals, Christmas fair etc. I sobbed and sobbed at ds' christening but could not tell you why.

Any soppy film. Mama Mia makes me cry due to it being THE film during a particularly difficult time.

Childrens birthday parties also give me the winge, the blowing out candles thing always makes my eyes leak.

Littlest Homo Blush

Lots of music moves me to tears.
The first time ever I saw your face - because my lovely amazing husband played this to me when we remet after separating 15 years earlier and I couldn't believe he loved me this much and always had.

Dumbo swinging on his mother's trunk ruined a Christmas day for me. Actually, as a child, or adult too, pretty much any sad bit in any of those (incredibly manipulative) Disney films made me weep and sob.

The lovely theme music to a 1960s version of Robinson Crusoe always makes me cry.

Schindlers List - the red coat
The Pianist - that poor elderly man being suddenly pushed out of an upper window.
Death of Jack in Titanic - I cry easily it seems Blush

Lots of films that deal with miscarriages of justice like To Kill a Mockingbird, or 12 years a slave. I cry with pity for the wrongs done to people.

Scottish ballads of my childhood. And Scotland the Brave: I'm an expat and therefore very sentimental about my home country.

I am the proud owner of a large stockpile of large cotton hankies.....

NeitherTheChimeNorThePlace · 16/06/2014 00:12

That's what happens when you try to type lying in your side I bed with one eye open. Hobo I meant Blush

Also Eva Cassidy singing Time After Time. Beautiful.

lemontruffles · 16/06/2014 00:16

Oh, and the song Witchita Lineman when Glenn Campbell sings 'and I need you more than want you, and I want you for all time' gets me every time. Sobbing wreck.

CundtBake · 16/06/2014 00:17

The Charlie Chaplin film 'The Kid' when the little boy gets taken away. Jesus Christ I howled and that was before I even had DS.

YY to Schindler's list especially when he breaks down crying at the end 'I could have got more'

Tough men or old men crying.

Pretty much anything my 2 year old does but mainly his recent habit of asking if mummy's happy.

Anything to do with the hillsborough disaster.

That documentary series 'bedlam' that was shown a while ago (and was brilliant) when the police and doctors turned up to section a lady and she resisted saying 'no go away I don't know you' Sad

Had it at DD's funeral

GatoradeMeBitch · 16/06/2014 00:36

The 'Goodbye may seem forever, farewell is like the end, but in my heart a memory, and there you'll always be.' scene from Fox and the Hound.

I was thinking about the cat we lost a year ago when it came on and I broke down in tears. Poor DN was very shocked! I just looked it up on YouTube and it's got me crying again Blush

SarahAndFuck · 16/06/2014 00:37

The bit in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire where he brings Cedric's body back and Cedric's Dad shouts "That's my SON! My Boy! My BOY!"

Oh my god but that just kills me every time. It's his boy. Sad

King Kong, when you see the light go out of his eyes and he falls. I can cry most of the way through that film, just waiting for that bit.

The first line of Peter Pan. All children, except one, grow up. It's not true and it breaks my heart Sad

Susan Boyle's first audition for Britain's Got Talent. It's when she sings "life has killed the dream I had" and I can't help it.

"Daddy, my Daddy" as everyone else seems to have said.

Whenever anybody, anywhere sings Hushabye Mountain, O Holy Night or Impossible Dream. Or Amazing Grace.

The children's book Kensuke's Kingdom, where Kensuke decides not to go with Michael. I've read it with 3 different classes. Sobbed each time in front of them and the kids never understand why it's so sad.

Redglitter · 16/06/2014 00:45

The 'daddy my daddy' bit
The end of Its a Wonderful Life where they all show up with money
The end of The Champ
& rather bizarrely
Do you want to build a snowman where a wee sad Ana says 'ok bye' when Elsa tells her to go away

3dolls · 16/06/2014 00:50

I cried in the car earlier as Caller 25 won a ticket and backstage pass to see Demi Levato. She was so happy and I have no shame.

Loopylala7 · 16/06/2014 01:22

I absolutely blubbed my heart out at Nannas speech in the Royle family - reminded me of my Gran
