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?

I don't think you need to apologise op. I think lots of people LOVE this! Even when stories are dreadfully sad it is quite cathartic.

A pp said that she had become "emotionally incontinent" since having children. This is me!

When I was in my last few weeks of work before having my DD I was showing Hotel Rwanda to a number of classes. There is a scene where nuns and a priest bring lots of school children to the bus thinking they will be taken to safety but they can't get on the bus because they are Rwandan and poor. The whole scene is horrifying and is set to the soundtrack of the children singing. I showed it 5 times in one week at 36 weeks pregnant and sobbed each time.

The book Paper Dolls - the line about the kind granny makes me choke up thinking about my lovely mum and mil and how one day they will be memories only to dd.

Whoever mentioned the SMA advert I was absolutely the same! My GP said this same thing to me on the phone once when I was frantic about something and I practically had to hang up on him.

The first ten minutes of Up is like torture.

Anything at all where old men cry. I vividly remember an advert for the Samaritans which was on air during the foot and mouth outbreak. A very old man was talking to a camera about the loss of his livelihood and he breaks down. A hand comes from behind the camera and holds the old man's arm and a voice says "I am so sorry". Coming from a farming background this ended me.

Oswald Bastable in The Treasure Seekers; he says his dead mother would have loved a particularly beautiful garden, 'but it is no use wishing.'

Almost every episode of Call the Midwife had me blubbing. In fact when I read the book the chapters about Mrs Jenkins in particular reduced me to a sobbing wreck. DP found me one evening unable to speak from crying so much

Bagpipes playing Auld Lang Syne. It was played at my grans funeral and now I cant hear it without welling up. Same with Amazing Grace and Abide With Me (Granddads funerals).

Buffy when she finds her mum's body and just says "mommy?"

Forrest Gump and Saving Private Ryan, numerous times throughout both movies. Toy Story 2 (Jessies song) Toy Story 3 last 10 minutes or so. In fact Tom Hanks might be the common denominator here!

About 10 different episodes of Scrubs.

I have just remembered that song that goes "...Only know you love her when you let her go..." It was playing in the car while we were waiting for the vet to come and get us to put our lovely cat down (the vet suggested we wait in the car so that we could have her out of the box), every time I hear it I'm there, cuddling her in the car with her purring for the first time in a week and the vet coming to tap on the glass.

It's not a song that I'd pay any attention to as a rule.

Pretty much any hymn they remind me of funerals

Little town of Bethlehem

Agree with slipping through fingers

Bit in the duchess of Devonshire when Keira knightly hands over her newborn to her fil on a misty moor. Dh and I both sobbing first film we saw after dd2 born supposed to be night off!

Dogger

Lots of aa Milne poems

The last book of Winnie The Pooh, floods of tears every time

Nothing makes me cry, except onions I feel weepy, sometimes even get wet eyes, but I don't cry.

I'm a freak :(

Also, and I will force myself to make these my last three things:

The poem High Flight by Pilot Officer John Gillespie Magee who died aged 19 in 1941 in an accident flying over Lincolnshire.

Defying Gravity from Wicked.

"I'm a leaf on the wind, watch how I soar"

"You never walk alone" but only when sung in a football crowd. A single singer? Nah. 40 000 middle aged men who cant hold a tune between them? Cry like a bitch.

The Lone Piper at the Edinburgh Military thing.

The talking bit at the beginning of In the Night Garden. It was read as a poem at the funeral of my friends child.

The song 'You can let go now Daddy'. I literally sob everytime I hear it.

Oh God yes, Winnie the Pooh. In the enchanted place on top of the forest, a boy and his bear will always be playing.

Puff the Magic Dragon.

Waaaaiilllllll

My last one I swear… Anyone remember an old Ladybird book version of Goldiblocks and the Three Bears? The picture where baby bear discovers his porridge is all gone? A huge big tear running down his face?! As a child I was forever staring at the picture and sobbing, so much so that my Mother would take the book off me until I promised not to look at the picture again. ….But sure enough I would. Have just googled to see if I could find a picture of that baby bear, thankfully I can't. I tell you that tear was huge and for some reason his despair at the loss of his porridge encapsulated every awful thing I could imagine at the time. (I was very little).
And finally a confession, once when flicking channels I stayed on an episode of Knots Landing, hadn't seen it before, nor did i know what was actually happening in terms of the storyline but was in floods of tears in less than a minute.

I'm either a total wuss or else it was down the calibre of the acting.

I think that sing is by passenger

Puff the magic dragon

Oh yes

Yes!!! Puff the Magic Dragon :( :( :(

Oh, oh Philomena. All the way through, but mostly when Steve Coogan finds out...on the computer and she comes in, all bright and hopeful.

Oh DesperatelySeekingSedatives, Buffy.
Too much for me, I'm going out to water the garden

Les mis. I start crying within the first minute.

'Bright eyes Bbbburning like fiyyer....

It took me about a week to stop crying after Rachel died in Cold Feet.

Also the opening scene in Love Actually at the airport where Hugh Grant realises that love actually is all around.
