And there's a Radio 4 series called Soul Music (downloadable) - each episode is about a particular piece of music, so classical or pop or a hymn, with people talking about what it means to them, and every single episode makes me sob. The "Don't Leave Me This Way" one is heartbreaking.

tumbletumble · 15/06/2014 20:08

Remains of the Day is the saddest film I've seen - I sobbed for hours afterwards.

Lots of books - The Hand that First Held Mine, The Light Between Oceans, Tess of the d'Urbevilles to name a few.

Yes yes to OBEM too!

Ludoole · 15/06/2014 20:08

I don't know why but I always tear up at the presidents speech in Independence day Confused

slithytove · 15/06/2014 20:09

This thread

"To where you are" - josh groban
"Tears in Heaven" - Clapton
God save the queen (sometimes)

Toy story 3, ghost, ps I love you, Mary poppins (let's go fly a kite)

And probably lots more. There was an advert for a baby product a while ago (maybe pampers) that had me sobbing instantly.

slithytove · 15/06/2014 20:09

Obem too, it's very embarassing

CoreyTrevorLahey · 15/06/2014 20:10

The news kills me these days, littletigers, more and more as I get older. Sad

I can't watch the latest stuff about Iraq, since I've been working the past few months with Iraqi students. One of them has gone back for a couple of weeks and I hope to God he's ok. Lots of them have lovely families here, beautiful wives and children and I can't bear the thought of them being in danger. It makes me see how fucking unfair it is that they might have to live in a warzone purely due to the random fact of being born there, and not in the UK.

RachaelAgnes · 15/06/2014 20:11

Dame - so with you on Mushy!
Cried when he spoke in the classroom, cried when he spoke to his peers in assembly. Cry when I see him in the advert now running.

I think I just cry!.....,

TribbleWithoutATardis · 15/06/2014 20:11

Daffy I blub at Spock dying as well Blush.

I also always cry at the first scene in the new Star Trek movie where Kirks Mum has to listen to her husband die after just giving birth. Kills me every time.

PercyThePig · 15/06/2014 20:11

Remembrance Sunday has me in tears after visiting the battlefields of WW1 years ago when I was at school it now holds so much resonance (Hubby can't understand it!).

but also... Extreme Home Makeover ...(gets worse)...the animal cruelty adverts on TV...and I have cried at some of those 'Britains Got Talent/XFactor' style sob stories oh and of course Mufasa dying in Lion King

not crying thinking about it, it's the onions! Who's chopping onions!!!

londonrach · 15/06/2014 20:11

Littlest hobo music yes I'm in tears

DaffyDuck88 · 15/06/2014 20:13

Oh God slithytove, you've made me think of the SMA advert (at least I think its SMA), where at the end they say ..and take it from us, your doing brilliantly. GETS ME EVERY TIME.

Purplecircle · 15/06/2014 20:13

I'm so glad I'm not alone. I've been known to cry at tv ads

WiggleGinger · 15/06/2014 20:14

I don't feel quite so odd at my year fests now!
Yup brass bands.
Yup Jerusalem.
When's daughter asks me to sing her (I'm crying already!!!) You are my sunshine ... It was her baby song I would sing to get her off to sleep, I now can't get through it!
You & me by the wannadies (left out wedding reception to this song)
Dance with me.. Olly Murs player at my cousins funeral
Bagpipes (I'm English!!!!!))
Any form Of pomp and circumstance(trooping of the colour etc)
kids singing.
Christmas choirs
Yes yes to Liam Neeson in Love actually
Oh gosh there's loads! I'm a total wet blanket in those situations...

manchestermummy · 15/06/2014 20:14

Beaches. Every time.

I watched a documentary on BBC4 the other night called "I am not a rock star" and the very end of that made me fill up.

"How lovely are thy dwellings" from the Brahms German Requiem, and the Rossini Stabat Mater.

OBEM. I want another baby, now isn't the time and if I'm honest that time will probably never come. I can't watch that programme anymore.

The book of "Marley and Me". Much more impact than the film. I haven't actually ever seen the end of the film! cannot get there for sobbing

I shed a little tear when DD1 finished reception last year. Reception, ffs. Will I need medically rehydrating whenshe leaves primary school? And sports day. Little girl who had been undergoing cancer treatment running and running. And another with cerebral palsy joining in every race being help by a friend. Not a dry eye anywhere.

papalazaru · 15/06/2014 20:15

"The remains of the day" and "never let me go" both books and films did me in for days afterwards.
My parents had a welsh male voice choir LP and there's a song which starts "I remember the face of my father as he walked back home from the mines....." - to this day that song absolutely wrecks me.
And I cried so much watching The Elephant Man first time I looked like a raisin the next day.

DaffyDuck88 · 15/06/2014 20:16

This has to stop! The littlest Hobo? Heartbreaking! And know I've thought of some stupid cartoon I saw as a child, a little black chicken with half an eggshell on its head, Calimero or something. Anyway every and I mean EVERY episode something awful happened to him and he ran away in floods of tears crying why does it always happen to me? And my Mother could never explain to me why people were so horrible to him.
Or why anyone would make such a depressing cartoon.

Filimou · 15/06/2014 20:16

Papa can you hear me - Barbara Streisand.

ButterflyInFlight · 15/06/2014 20:17

Ohhh, Percy, anything related to WW1 makes me break down. I remember I cried for days after visiting the battle sites in Ypres and Sanctuary Wood :'( Saw a book on Harry Patch today and nearly lost it in W H Smiths.

Also, listening to the Moody Blues 'Nights in White Satin' is making me tear up!

Chopsypie · 15/06/2014 20:17

OBEM
The snail and the whale
Bob Marleys Three little birds
Any time my mum cries (for any reason as soon as she starts I do to)
Christmas carols, and watching my children open their Christmas presents
The land before time

And lots of other things. I am a big soggy mess

He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother

CarbeDiem · 15/06/2014 20:18

Oh Lone I broke my heart in the cinema to that much to the embarrassment of my dc.

Also who will love my children Shock I watched it once and vowed never again. I sobbed.

The Green mile - when John Coffee is going to be executed and the guard stands in front of him in tears - gets me every time.

thegreylady · 15/06/2014 20:18

A song my dad used to sing called, 'The Little Boy that Santa Claus Forgot.'

notnowImreading · 15/06/2014 20:19

Daddy, my Daddy does it every time. As do Bright Eyes, Two Little Boys, and the. It in Billy Elliott where the dad goes back to work on the bus to pay for the ballet lessons.

thebodylovesspring · 15/06/2014 20:20

I posted because the day we thought dd had been killed and we didn't know for hours that she had survived we heard slipping through my fingers on the radio. We were driving to the school and had to pull over as dh couldn't see to drive through tears.

To be honest having children is fairly unbearable really.
