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?

Oh, Chaos I am a guaranteed airport blubber. The thing about living abroad and having a DH that works away a lot, is that you spend a reasonable amount of time in airports waiting for your loved one(s) to arrive. I am normally a complete wreck by the time they come through, because I've cried so many times at seeing other people reunite!

When my sister came over a few weeks ago, I had to go to the toilet and wash my face, I cried so much at one particular reunion! I well up even thinking about it!

The champ always gets me as does the deer hunter when Nicky shoots himself playing russian roulette.

Also, somebody earlier mentioned sophie's choice which not only makes me sob but gives me nightmares. I've been known to wake up sobbing after dreaming about it.

on a lighter note, over the rainbow always brings a tear to my eye.

spiderlight I've been reading through the last few pages with tears in my eyes but:- and his face lit up and he shouted 'Mummy!' and then turned to his teacher and went 'My mummy!' and I was off! that has just floored me

Most of mine have already been mentioned but one that hasn't is a poem by Alexander Pope: Argus

Gets me every time.

PS I love you has me crying from about 10 minutes in until the end

Knowing Me Knowing You by Abba...the lyric " In these old familiar rooms , children would play" kept running through my mind the day I packed my things after deciding to leave my first husband.
I still can't hear this song without crying..

Someone mentioned Country Roads. We used to sing this at family reunions. When my family was young and close and it seemed like we would be together always..

Excellent crying now...

So, I'm a big blubber and cry at anything, yet I've led a pretty easy life. So, fellow blubbers, do you cry because it's easy or is there reason entirely?!

King Kong

Yes! Total mess in the car home from the cinema. DH was very lovely and comforting but could see was a bit confused. Anyway, the next morning even I'm a bit freaked out about the guttural sobbing over a large monkey, then realised my monthly was 2 weeks late. Ds is 7 now

This thread last night, so much tht I had to stop reading and again just now as I read to the end

I love a good cry though. I shall be back later on to add to the list

TheWholeoftheSpoon, I was nails through my twenties (and my childhood was difficult, although my adult life has been very blessed). I didn't start blubbing at things till I was in my thirties. For me it's not so much having children as ageing that seems to have done it: having DS has given that edge of fear to life, but I think it's more to do with enlarging sympathy as I get older - I'm less impatient, I suppose, and more aware of how fragile everything is.

Philadelphia - when his family are all coming in to say goodbye to him, and the home video at the end.

Oh God, yes - Kramer v Kramer.

I always wonder - how do actors manage to play those roles without sobbing constantly?

headinhands When I was pregnant it was just about the time Fred Elliot was leaving Coronation Street and ITV were milking it with lots of trailers of him saying goodbye.

So when I turned on the TV one day to see a charity advert about abused bears, followed by Fred saying "…if you should need me I'll always be here.." I was a sobbing wreck.

My friend rang and I just wept down the phone. "Fred…Fred…Bears!"

Morning, ^^ to Emma Thompson smoothing down the bed in love actually. Automatically doing wife/mum stuff as her world is crashing down.

The ending of the house at pooh corner
“Wherever they go, and whatever happens to them on the way, in that enchanted place on the top of the forest, a little boy and his Bear will always be playing.”
Read it at Dads funeral.

Anything with animals, never got beyond the first five minutes of Bambi, never attempted Dumbo, cannot imagine ever considering The Incredible Journey. The end of Saving Private Ryan, when the English one is shot in Monument Men, Remembrance Day on TV, thinking about my oldest dd leaving home (next year), graduation (a tough one, because I am an academic and sit on the stage facing the audience, strangely my hay fever is always playing up on that July day). And worst of all Goodbye Mog, just thinking about it is enough, was never able to read it to the dc's.

Watched the final Harry Potter last night and the same bit got me again.
When the Weasley twin dies and the other is breaking his heart hugging Ron. I was fine until I heard an interview with the real life brothers who said that for the one that survives it was very hard to do and he could only manage a couple of takes before breaking down...
After that it's too sad to watch properly

Did anyone have Quentin Blake's 'The Green Ship' for their children? Always used to make DP a bit choked to read and not me, but now I only have to think about it!

I can't watch the bit in Harry Potter where the lovely boy dies in the underwater game thingy (Voldemort is back) and the father runs down from the crowd, "My boy..." :(

The song Christmas in the trenches

when a boy died in ER and they played greenday time of your life at the funeral.

Green mile

28 days later when abide with me is playing and the man goes upstairs and his parents have killed themselves.

in Sharpe when a young soldier dies and shouts for his mother and harper says 'mothers never leave you.'

I had to turn Mamma Mia off last night because of the slipping through my fingers scene. It's always made me sob but more so since I've been I'll. part of me thinks I won't ever see my daughter get to that sort of age

ill, not I'll

beccajoh just hugs and so very sorry. Xx

A song called My Immortal by Evanescence. Not entirely sure what it's written about but the chorus makes me cry thinking about my 3 babies I never got to meet.

Most of the John Lewis ads. Esp the She's Always A Woman one.
