Bloody Emmerdale, that's all I'm saying. And yes, I know it's not real life

I once cried at birds of a feather-bloody pmt has a lot to answer for lol

Animal charity ads.... Bears, donkeys, cats, dogs....

Just recently stories in the news about a bear being pelted with stones till it lost its grip and fell to its death down a cliff side... Filmed and the laughter as it was pelted...

And the matador who wiped the 'tears' of a dying bull for the entertainment of the audience before delivering the final death blow

And children...

The accounts of women that have been through the mother and baby homes in Ireland like tuam....

I watch comedy mostly then bloody Blackadder had that ww1 final scene ... Cried full on fugly face

Am too bloody emotional

Beaches. It’s years old, I’ve seen it hundreds of times, but still I cry.

Cried lots when Barbara died in Call the Midwife. And when Dr Green died in ER.

Nannewnannew · 15/05/2019 07:26

Rockmysocks OMG, that is just awful about the poor bear and the bull. It’s made me well up just reading your OP. How can people be so cruel and callous? I agree about the animal cruelty ads too. As long as I live I shall never understand people’s pleasure in inflicting cruelty to humans and animals.

Funkyslippers · 15/05/2019 07:32

Yep, Beaches. Last time didn't make it through Wind Beneath My Wings. Also Who Will Love My Children?, Forrest Gump when he's standing over Jenny's grave and The Lion King (the bit where Mufasa dies - totally didn't see that coming).

@4strings Dr Greene dying makes me sob every time! He was so lovely and they did it so, so well, I thought.

I cry at everything Blush. I once burst into tears at one of the Age Concern loneliness posters on a train. It was awful.

If anyone watches Bake Off Professionals, there's a very sweet moment in the final where something breaks, the chef cries and the judge cries with him!

LIZS · 15/05/2019 08:32

Last episode of the Durrells had me going this week.

zukiecat · 15/05/2019 09:05

I cry at everything too,

I cried at Robin and his Moonah on Ghosts on Monday,

I used to cry at Deal or No Deal!

AngeloMysterioso · 15/05/2019 09:06

I once cried watching Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs.

I’m not kidding.

DSHathawayGivesMeFannyGallops · 15/05/2019 09:08

@LISZ - I cried at that too! The unfairness just broke me!

Kernobhead · 15/05/2019 09:12

I remember as a child watching a film with my 2 sisters and my mum.

My dad came home from work to find us all inconsolable, in tears, because about a minute before a dog died in the film. He thought something tragic had happened, a family member had died. When we stopped crying and told him about the dog he was almost in tears with relief that it wasn’t something more serious!

We only have to mention that film to my mum and she wells up even now, 20 years later..

I cry at 'my girl' when vada walks up to Tomas j's coffins and asks him if he wants to climb trees.

Hellywelly10 · 15/05/2019 09:15

4strings stay away from last saturdays britains got talent
The pensioner who sang the theme tune to beaches to his late wife had me in floods.

zukiecat · 15/05/2019 09:26

Kernobhead

I was totally traumatised by seeing "Ring of Bright Water" as a child, when the hunters kill Midge the otter SadSad

I've never been able to watch that film since, and it was over 40 years ago

llamawearingasombrero · 15/05/2019 09:28

Many moons ago I watched the eastenders special where Dot Cotton returns to Wales where she was evacuated to as a child during WW2. I remember the end as Dot is leaving and she looks around to see herself as a young child waving at her present self. Oh that had me 😭. Even now my eyes are watery.

EmeraldShamrock · 15/05/2019 09:38

Beaches here too.
I remember sobbing watching Imitation of life, a real oldie, I was only a child, I still remember big soppy tears.

Mrsjayy · 15/05/2019 09:41

I cried at lonely cave man on Ghosts the other night Blush

summerof68 · 15/05/2019 09:45

I was watching on YouTube an account from a Jewish man telling how as a little boy in Nazi Europe his parents made the decision to hand him over to a Christian family (who. they didn’t know). to ensure his safety. He emphasised how much he knew he was loved by his parents for them to do this. But they were desperate, knowing. they were going to the death camps. .

The thought of the heartbreak of his parents handing him over to complete strangers, knowing they’d never see him again had me sobbing out loud. Just writing this down is making me tearful again.

H2OH20Everywhere · 15/05/2019 09:47

When I read War Horse I started crying on page 3 (roughly) and cried on and off for the entire book. I ended up having to go and read it on my own in the bedroom with the cat keeping me company.

About a year later it was on TV. I only caught the last 5 minutes but knew immediately what it was. And started crying! DP thought I'd lost the plot completely!

PutyourtoponTrevor · 15/05/2019 09:49

And Doctor Pratt in ER

I cry everytime I watch Homeward Bound. I just sob. The silliest one was The Walk in Dead when the tiger died 🙈

VampirateQueen · 15/05/2019 10:02

The Walking Dead even

5foot5 · 15/05/2019 10:05

Yes I am a cryer at TV and film.

But, seriously, is there a person alive who can watch that scene at the end of the Railway Children where Bobby sees her Daddy through the steam and remain dry eyed? I am welling up just thinking about it.

U2HasTheEdge · 15/05/2019 10:07

Pete's Dragon. The newer one.

Bloody awful. Me and DH both cried. I will never watch it again.

I cry at everything, but Pete's Dragon was at another level!
