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?

Absolutely anything with evacuees or kids being hurt or taken away. DSS was very nearly taken into care as a baby while living with his birth mum (we were going for residency at the time and it was a very frightening situation) and I still vividly remember the fear that he wasn't safe, that he might be taken away permanently either by his mum or social services. Anything like that will trigger it for me.

And another vote here for the beginning of Up!

I always cry watching "A Little Princess" . Its the awesome music that gets me!

The end of A Beautiful Mind!

Lately even Let It Go has me selling up

Ha! Welling up not selling up. Not about to move house because of a Disney song :o

The boy in the striped pyjamas (or anything to do with the holocaust/occupied Europe)- my childhood best friend's grandfather was a holocaust survivor and he was the sweetest man I've ever met. So humble and so tolerant of all people, he was a fantastic man and I still cry when I think that my friend lost her amazing grandfather and how he suffered during his youth.

Bagpipes - they get me every time. That lump in the throat and your heart beating faster. Almost never made it up the aisle at my own wedding!

Stick Man - DH was working away from home with a new job and I stupidly bought this book to read for the kids without reading it myself first. We had only just found out he wouldn't be home for Christmas that year then I read my 4 yr old and 2 yr old DC Stick Man. I'll never forget my 4yo sobbing and sobbing because the Stick family got Dad home for Christmas.

Musharraf on Educating Yorkshire. I howled like a baby.

The end of Star Wars when. R2D2 comes on stage. What a heroic little robot he was!

Also anything to do with pets being operated on/ being given away. Sob.

Reading These threads . . .

I don't know why I put myself through it.

I read people talking about opening scenes of this of paragraphs in that and I go and bloody look it up. Then sit there weeping!

Apart from these threads . . .

Old men at rememberance day
Adverts which feature children crying
Anything related to animal cruelty

I am even more of a sap now I have Dd than I was before which is pretty sappy.

Choirs - yes! Children's choirs - hell yes

Bloody Paper Dolls "a kind granny" finishes me off. Just filled up now typing it

And yes, the beginning of Up is probably the saddest thing I have seen in cartoon form.

Oh, apart from dumbo and his mum when she is swinging him in her trunk.

Oh for heaven's sake!!

Black Beauty theme tune, Lassie come home, ET.... UP... all of these start me bawling like a baby

every story ever featured on long lost family.There was one where a woman had had to give her son up for adoption when he was a baby.LLF found him,they arranged a meeting....and as the son walked towards his mum,she opened her arms and said " my boy" (filling up as I type....)

Rewatching Sherlock season 3 and his Best Man's speech got me going today!

Daddy, my daddy. No matter how many times I watch it, I sob like a baby.
Sports things. I'm not sporty but I get a little passionate at times! I was in Leeds at the start of the tour, thought I'd pop into town to see the start. Then thought I'd just go see if anything was going on in the city centre. And sat in front if the big screen and watched every second of it. I cried when Cav fell in the last minutes. And cried again when phoning home to explain why I'd been out for 6 hours and was coming home painfully sunburnt! I cried on a daily basis during the Olympics.

James Stewart on Parky reading his poem about his dog. Every single time.

The majority of the film, the color purple, but the bit that really has me sobbing is the bit at the end were the two sisters are reunited.
I cry every time.

The Royale Family Denise's wedding episode, where Jim and Denise are on their own waiting to go, always makes me cry.

wake me up when September ends by greenday -good friend of mine passed away in a car accident in september 2005 and this was played at his funeral. We had seen greenday together a couple of times. I cannot get through this song anymore even now and am crying now but going to blame hormones after having my 5 week old.

Post children I cry at everything - happy or sad.

The worst was pathetically when I was pregnant a couple of Christmases ago. Just the adverts for 'The Snowman and the Snowdog' had me weeping uncontrollably. It took months before I managed to actually watch it and wept some more.

Rachel dying in cold feet. This will always make me cry and when they scatter her ashes to Coldplay.

Soldier Soldier when Robson & Jerome are singing at the wedding and his wife is cheating on him. (Soft spot for Robson Green here! )

The following films: The Notebook, 3 men and a baby(when she takes the baby at the end), Up, Beaches, The Pianist.

Although I think I'm wired genetically wrong as I ver rarely cry at real life things!

Another one for children singing. This even bloody got me when I was a child myself, I sobbed when singing Little Donkey circa 5 years old! Now have baby myself, cannot even IMAGINE what I will be doing at his first singing thing!

More than anything though, old people being by themselves, hurt or in any way vulnerable. Absolutely any hint of this will set me off.

Also My Girl, book version though obviously film isn't a barrel of laughs either!

I have only read a third of this thread. I'm in fucking BITS.

Seriously. Tears, snot, mascara trails, the lot!

Agree with all of your choices! Slipping through my fingers gets me even before it starts!

Away in a manger!
