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?

"And so, they lived happily together for 300 years, in the land of Tr na ng, the land of eternal youth and beauty..." When the ship is sinking at the end of Titanic and the Irish mother is trying to comfort her children by telling them an old Irish legend:

"...the richest man in town!" at the end of 'It's a Wonderful Life'.

The scene in the original 'Miracle on 34th Street' when Kris Kringle speaks to the little Dutch girl in her native tongue.

"Oh Captain! My Captain!" at the end of 'Dead Poets' Society'

The scene in 'Field of Dreams' where Kevin Costner's character is driving home and picks up a young Doc Graham hitchhiking.

I am glad someone else has said the Olympics. I normally care nothing for weightlifting etc but put some random bloke from Vanuatu on top of a podium singing his heart out to the national anthem and I am a sodden mess. Obviously I also cry at virtually everything mentioned on this list, but especially Beaches, the end of Dead Poets Society (haven't dared watch it since Robin Williams died), Matthew dying in Anne of Green Gables (my girl that I'm proud of - waaah!), The Hand that first Held Mine, the end of One Day, the bit in Buffy when she has to kill Angel as well as the bit when her mum dies (and Anya's scene in the funeral episode). And a young adult book called Where it Stops, Nobody Knows. And the Welsh National Anthem. Great thread.

It's evil of me but sometimes I sing bright eyes from watership down to my Mum. She cries every time, but last time I did it she was driving the car and had to pull over so I haven't done it in a while.

For me babies/ animals. I have fond memories of land before time and thought I'd watch it the other day - I had not remembered the beginning. Basically a baby dinosaur gets orphaned when his already emaciated mother dies having to fend off a t-rex. I was howling, I couldn't watch it, I was clutching the dog and snivelling to my fiance that a big dog might get him and kill him or we might die and he would think we had abandoned him. I think my fiance was actually a little worried. I just couldn't stop crying my nose was running, I was dribbling.
I also couldn't stop crying once when I read story on the DailyMail about some thugs that stole a nursing rabbit, fucked around with her taking pictures etc in their flat until she died, orphaning her babies.

I also cried when Andy won wimbledon! I was just so happy for HIM.

Disclaimer: I'm a crier

That film about the old people, Cocoon. I can't even watch it now in fact, makes me think of my dad (who is still alive but it makes me upset at the thought of him dying...)
Watership Down, Bright Eyes. And at the end when the Black Rabbit says to Hazel "you've been feeling tired lately, haven't you...." oh God im absolutely ill after that.

Oh God and the beginning of In the Night Garden makes me well up, ever since I read it was played at a childs funeral

Just finished crying at today's episode if For the Love of Dogs. I can feel myself being manipulated but fall for it every time. Paul o'Grady is the nicest man in the world though.

Do You Wanna Build a Snowman? In Frozen. The end when she's singing to Elsa through the door after their parents die has the tears streaming down my face

God I cry at loads

i have skimmed this and am welling up

Baby of Mine....sobbing my heart out.
Daddy my Daddy....anyone who does not catch their breath at that is dead inside.
Last Post...I was a wreck on monday when they were trying different instruments on the Jeremy what a wanker I really am Vine show
And more or less any Forces overseas thing at christmas...someone being very brave and sending all their best wishes and love (sniffs a bit) to all their family (wells up) at home (tears start) and they'll all be home together soon (wahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!)

I went to durham cathedral last week, my first time as an adult and I cried
I was so moved by the place yet I'm not at all religious.

I cry at football games when there's a minutes silence or applause, something about a half he group of opposing fans coming together to pay respects just gets me

Marley and Me.

I could barely see the pages for all my tears when I read the book. The film has the same effect.

Animals (seals, birds) being released into the wild after being helped... flapping into the sea/sky.
Life is Beautiful. Can't watch it now I have a son. Thought of it makes me cry.
End of the Snowman.
Glad is not just me that chokes up over bagpipes. So rousing.
Babies being born.
Rooms full of great art ( Courthauld; Met Museum; Rijksmuseum)
Singing in a choir.
A day like this by Elbow.
Loud banging techno/house music as it builds and peaks.
Thinking of my husband's voice breaking and eyes welling as he took our marriage vows.

There was a documentry a while back, I think it was called The Boy Who's skin fell off. I was mostly fine until the credits where they played Queen Don't stop me now, with footage of clouds. Gah.

Also, Beaches. Totally fine, then Wind Beneath My Wings comes on and I go to pot.

There's a song on one of the Wiggles' rather ancient Christmas DVDs called 'A Child is Born on Christmas Morning' and I love it and hate it in equal measure. It shows clips of kids on Christmas Day in Australia and it really reminds me of my Christmases at home (I'm a kiwi so it still resonates) and it just KILLS me every time! There are also lots of montages of young babies and one in particular right at the end who I suspect is no longer with us, so I can't even hum the tune without welling up. Damn you Wiggles!

Grrr, it's actually 'The World is One on Christmas Morning', not 'A child is born on Christmas Morning' (which would have been equally apt)

One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest
Life is Beautiful

and book....Captain Ciaorelli's Mandolin (sp?)where his mate takes a shot for him.....

Cried bloody buckets at all of these.

Anything even remotely sad involving dogs.

DH and I howled our way through The Plague Dogs. I have no fucking idea why we thought it was a good idea to watch it.

The Futurama episode 'Jurassic Bark' is banned in this house.

I watched a nature documentary a while ago about a pack of African wild dogs (my favourite animal) in a reserve somewhere in Africa. It was really interesting (and my own dogs were enjoying watching it very much) until one of the pack came down with rabies. Then another. And another. Eventually the whole pack except for one died and that remaining dog wandered around calling for the rest of the pack until he disappeared, presumably having died of starvation. I was devastated after watching that, ended up clinging onto my very baffled dogs sobbing

The song "You'll Never Know" - it was my dad's favourite and when it gets to the line "You went away and my heart went with you" - I am in pieces.

"You were such a great dog, Marley."

Highland Cathedral played by the mass pipes and drums at the Edinburgh Tattoo.

Salvation Army bands playing carols just make me dissolve and simultaneously empty my purse into the collecting cans.

The film Stepmom

YY to chandlers and Monica's engagement and when Matthew dies in Anne of GG.

The songs How Long Will I Love You and Here Comes The Sun.

Yes to stepmom absolutely sobbed and wailed and had to compose myself before I could leave the cinema. Same with up close and personal, when she can see his boots and everyone is telling her he'll be fine and she knows he's dead, sob! Also obem and any programme where a child is going for surgery and their parent has to let go of their hand, also 24 hours in a&e esp older gentlemen who are poorly. Stop all the clocks from four weddings, et. The songs there's a place for us and when the saints go marching in, played at my dad and step mums funeral, and Bruno Mars talking to the moon, the song that made me lose it when I got home from their funeral. Children singing away in a manger at Christmas. Remembrance Sunday parade and service I will blub on Sunday I always do, they will not grow old, the last post and the soldiers and children marching and our beaver scouts planting crosses will be particularly touching, must remember tissues!

Nick kershaw "wouldn't it be good" - not the words but because it brings back the memories of childhood.

Emma thompson in "Love Actually" when she opens her Jonie Mitchell cd and realises her husband's (near) infidelity. And in fact Jonie Mitchell's "Both Sides Now".

Lots of things already mentioned, including a few I'd thought I might be alone in!

Some more for good measure:

Allegiant - Virginia Roth. About ten pages from the end I just dissolved.

The episode of How I Met Your Mother when they hint at Tracy's death. 'What kind of mother misses her daughter's wedding?' followed, obviously, by the last episode which saw me reduced to a howling, snotty mess.

The end of Remember Me.

Son Of A Witch, the sequel to Wicked. The very last sentence.

Little Donkey. In The Flint St Nativity they have it as title/ad break music, deliberately played badly on recorders. I weep.

YY to Beaches and babies bring born on OBEM

YY to basically all the above. and any rendition of Silent Night if no-one has mentioned it.
I was delivering a language/communications workshop to a group of international military on a training program. Imagine a serious group of Vietnamese, Thai and Laotion men all in their uniforms. For some reason I showed them the beginning of Finding Nemo. I can't even remember the point I was trying to make but it is the bit where all the babies except Nemo are eaten by sharks. When I turned off the video they were all, heaving and sobbing and mopping up tears. I was not much better.

Also the music from Jesus Christ Superstar. And the Bangles singing Eternal Flame.
The entire oeuvre of Cat Stevens. I saw him in concert a couple of years ago and wept the whole way through.
