Also Daddy my Daddy in the railway children.

Songs

You are my sunshine
Imagine (John Lennon)
Don't stop me now (Queen)

Filimou · 15/06/2014 19:50

oh and "(good riddance), time of your life" by Green Day.
That song by Norah Jones that goes "dont know why I didnt come", was playing on the radio at work when I heard my dad had died. Sad

DaffyDuck88 · 15/06/2014 19:50

Dear God Daddy my Daddy. Tears started welling when I read the original post, after all the subsequent mentions they're streaming now!

Then there is Here comes the Sun. Love the song, but can't sing it or hear it through without tears. If on my own, big big sobs, if not I'll always have to excuse myself from the room. Ridiculous.

Also Spock dying. Even when I had seen the search for Spock followup.

Worst possible combination for me would be Spock's last words being Daddy my Daddy while someone hums Here comes the Sun.

The last page of 'Mama, Do You Love Me?' I've never actually been able to get to the end of it without sobbing uncontrollably.

headinhands · 15/06/2014 19:52

This is quite fitting for Father's Day

thebodylovesspring · 15/06/2014 19:52

Yes to 'Tears in heaven' also 'beautiful boy' John Lennon.

I love that image, Daffy - the ultimate in heartbreak.

headinhands · 15/06/2014 19:53

Sorry,

headinhands · 15/06/2014 19:55

If you're not blubbering by the end you're a monster with no heart!

CoreyTrevorLahey · 15/06/2014 19:55

Me and DSis both burst out crying watching The Grey with Liam Neeson today. It's not even that sad. I come from a family of wet-eyed wimps.

loveableshoulder · 15/06/2014 19:56

Lots of books: the ending of skellig, the boy in the striped pyjamas, Oscar Wilde short stories (as a pp said), the ending of of mice and men.

From that list, you might surmise I'm a teacher. Who regularly sobs in front of all my classes.

Littletigers · 15/06/2014 19:57

Some songs:
Vincent (starry starry night...)
Sound of silence
Don't worry baby
In my life
To cry about - Mary Margaret o hara

The news- when they showed the migrants' camp at Calais being bulldozed the other week I cried my eyes out completely unexpectedly: ds was freaked out and I tried to explain that everyone should have a peaceful home in this world then just cried even more. I hardly ever cry at the news but those images just hit me like a brick.

Littletigers · 15/06/2014 19:59

lovableshoulder ever tried Once? Two Weeks With The Queen? Millions? Private Peaceful? Aaaaarrrrggghh!!!

Littletigers · 15/06/2014 20:00

loveable, even!
Mid Term Break
Long Distance

DameEdnasBridesmaid · 15/06/2014 20:01

Field of dreams:
When Doc Graham steps over the line

And the heartbreaking "No Ray, it was you".

Love Actually: Emma Thompson crying in the bedroom and smoothing the bed down.

The band playing outside Danny's hospital room in Brassed Off, and the when he comes on to the stage at then end.

And from RL - bands, hymns (I Vow to Thee my Country), children singing anything but especially at Christmas.

Mushy speaking in assembly in Educating Yorkshire. Inspirational.

MikeLitoris · 15/06/2014 20:01

I'm crying reading this thread :(

Off to YouTube some of these. I could do with a good cry.

jessiemummy28 · 15/06/2014 20:01

Jerusalem, especially when sang at weddings.

MrsSippy · 15/06/2014 20:02

The film that makes me sob like a baby is Lorenzo's Oil.

KeepOnPloddingOn · 15/06/2014 20:02

I am goin to be FLAMED

eminem a new tune about forgiving his mother thanks to his own recovery...

Harriebabe · 15/06/2014 20:03

This thread has done me in! I cry at probably everything mentioned here (apart from brass bands) but it's just getting worse as I get older. My closest friends know to 'give me a minute' when they see the signs.

But yes yes to My Girl, Bridge to Terabithia and also the English Patient and the bit on Toy Story 2 telling the story of Jessie.

Ludoole · 15/06/2014 20:03

The song 'Please don't let them hurt your children' reduces me to a blubbing wreck every time, as does 'You can let go now daddy' by Crystal Shawanda.

Hassled · 15/06/2014 20:04

Flashmobs - the good, big ones. No idea what it is about flashmobs but it makes me think most people are intrinsically good, and that makes me well up.

Also Maria and the Captain doing that dance in the garden during the ball and they realise it's lurve.

ReindeerBollocks · 15/06/2014 20:04

For me it's songs and movies the cheesier the better

Pinks 'Please don't leave me' was on in the car whilst driving to hospital, DH having been blue lighted for a heart attack

Athlete's 'wires' reminds me of DC1's birth

YY to seven pounds film with Will Smith. I sobbed buckets at that.

Also OBEM and anything emotional on the TV.

WhereAreMyGlasses · 15/06/2014 20:04

Sara Crewe in the little princess at the end when her dad doesn't recognise her. I tear up every time

StormCloudsGathering · 15/06/2014 20:06

The Lion King, when simba tries to wake Mufasa.
Oscar Wilde's The Nightingale and the Rose.
Vera Brittain's 'Perhaps'
When King Lear cradles Cordelia (Why should a dog, a horse, a rat have life, And thou no breath at all? Oh, thou'lt come no more, Never, never, never, never, never.)
New York State of Mind, Billy Joel - was played at a friend's funeral
