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?

Most of Schindler's List but especially the very end where the cast visit his grave with their real life counterparts. Mainly Ben Kingsley and the widow of the man he played. Then Liam Neeson standing alone right at the end.
I sobbed like a fool in the cinema along with what turned out to be a group trip from the local synagogue..

Just the thought of the ending of Benjamin Button.

I burst into tears describing it at work

In Anne's House of Dreams, when the baby is born and dies in the same day (and also when Matthew dies in Anne of Green Gables). LM Montgomery really understood grief.

Millions am sorry and really hope this thread hasn't caused too much fresh pain.

Haunting theme tune from Sleeping with the Enemy

Matthew's death in Anne of Green gables was the first fiction that ever made me sob. For hours. And it still does, 32 years later. I need to introduce dd1 to this so she can share in the grief.

Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. I just howled for weeks after we watched it.

DH thought "she flew away" at the end WTF?

I'm beside myself just reading this thread. Have really enjoyed having a good blub, ta.

Dumbo where he goes to see his mum in the mad elephant pen and he cant get to her so they touch trunks and she swings him in her trunk. Actually makes me sob my heart out.

Just remembered another one: the bit in The Others when she remembers what happened to them. I howled...

How could I have forgotten the terrible events in 'Goodnight mister Tom'...

thebody.......'all he wanted was some soldiers and a drum'
'He wandered home to last year's broken toys'
I think it was meant to make us feel grateful but it just made me bloody miserable!

Goodnight Children Everywhere ("your mummy thinks of you tonight, though you are far away, she's with you night and day")

And apparently the end of Alice in Wonderland. I literally couldn't finish reading it aloud and had to pass the book to DS through streaming tears. I don't really know why, something about innocence and nostalgia.

love you forever by Robert munsch.

I can't even think about it without wanting to weep

I'll love you forever
I'll like you for always
as long as I'm living
my baby you'll be.

Wires- athlete
It came on today as I was driving so I had to pull over and recover

Numerous childrens books such as the bog baby

People think I'm really tough and I can be quite harsh but I cry really easily.
I cried yesterday listening to the cure- pictures of you. I've heard it hundreds of times and never cried for goodness sake

willdoit didn't realise that song was about Gary Barlow's DD.

I bawled watching them sing Rule the World the Olympics just after they had lost her. "All the stars are coming out tonight, they're lighting up the sky tonight" while London was lit up with fireworks. What a tribute. Makes me well up a bit now remembering it.

Bagpipes, especially playing Amazing Grace and Flower of Scotland (I'm English!)

Bawled my eyes out last night at Forest Gump! Also, This Is England and Dead Mans Shoes. Basically, any film where somebody dies. I just can't cope with it!

Coldplay - the scientist makes me quite sad, "tell me you love me, come back and haunt me" that line just sets me off.

OMG how could I forget Dobby dying! I sobbed and sobbed. I still live in hope that one day he will reincarnate, appear in my living room and decide to stay

www.thefuneralpoem.com/10/famous-poets-poems/mary-elizabeth-frye/70/do-not-stand-at-my-grave-and-weep-death-poetry-verses?paid=28 This poem which I was going to read at my father's funeral but the vicar read instead as I was in in no fit state.

Jonny Cash - hurt - so raw and moving

Brass bands (northern also)

Leaving Las Vegas - the bank signing cheque bit, don't really like Nicholas Cage as an actor but that bit is a bit too close to home and spot on.

Other than that was a bit emotionally challenged before Ds, now am a (tiny) bit softer = but not much, still from Yorkshire . Brilliant thread.

Will catch up with whole thread later so these may have already been said:

Oh Captain my Captain at end of Dead Poet's Society
The final montage in the last episode of Six Feet Under
The final bit of Thelma & Louise

I'm sure there are others but will have to pop down and look at the DVDs to remind myself.

Dead Man Shoes - totally forgot about that!

silver yes beautiful poem. Agree.

graylady me too was it Val Doonican?
