Books, films, songs etc that made you cry like a baby. *Amnesty*

[Dr Nowt]

Marley and Me. I cried like a bitch reading that.

Watch Red Dog if you've not already, Col.

Grave of the Fireflies

 

Didn't just cry at this film: it left me grief-stricken for days. Couldn't stop thinking about it.

 

It tends to hit guys harder than girls for some reason.

Going to steal myself to watch this. Can only imagine having read the synopsis and a few reviews that it will level me as well.

Most Disney cartoon films have got me at one time or another. I can defo remember crying my eyes out watching both Lady and the Tramp and The Lion King.

 

Other than that - while I cry quite often - there's only one other film that I remember crying at which was Cool Runnings. I'm pretty sure I was depressed at the time.

When they carry the sled over the finish line ?

Nearly. A few moments earlier when he asks "yea dead man?" And the other one goes "no man, we gonna finish dis race"

 

[Bob]

I also cried lots at watership down, but you have to be emotionally stunted not to.

Watch Red Dog if you've not already, Col.

 

I'll have a look for that.

[SammyAftershave]

I'm a romantic auld fool...

 

[SammyAftershave]

The whole film.

Righto, just finished my ironing, grabbed a couple of bottles of Staropramen and about to watch this Grave of The Fireflies film Chauncey was on about...

Oh boy, now there's a film I hope I never have to watch again. It's too much. 

[Mook]

I had a battle with E.T. this afternoon, it's ever since I hit 30, I used to have no feelings and it was brilliant.

[Carvalho Diablo]

Nah, just finished watching it and not a single tear shed.

 

 

Probably largely because I found the little girl as annoying as fuck.

The end of dead poets society

The end of ET

The end of King Kong

the end of umbrellas of cherbourg, , the theme tune playing,......... if it takes for ever, I will wait for you, adds to the sentiment.

The end of Six Feet Under nearly gave me a nervous fucking breakdown.

 

Forest Gump, too.

 

And Jim Croce's Photographs and Memories.

The end of Six feet under is some of the best TV ever made. Never has a series been wrapped up so perfectly.

Yep. Absolutely. It is, for me, the best ending to a TV show ever made. It is my favourite TV show too. Certainly in my too few.

The book of One Day.  Devastating moment.  Haven't seen the film, but I doubt it will do it justice.

 

Dance Band on the Titanic by Harry Chapin had me in floods as a kid.  Cats in the Cradle as well, actually.

[Total Longo]

When Heather dies in Highlander and "Who Wants to Live Forever" is playing in the background, oh god, i sobbed like a jilted girl at that. Also when Arnie gets lowered into the molten "slag" at the end of Terminator 2 and he does that "thumbs up" to John Connor.

 

The only other thing i can think of was after my dad died in 2002, i didn't cry but a few months later i was pottering around the house and the song "Sometimes you cant make it on your own" by U2 came on the radio, and the line "...And it's you when I look in the mirror, and it's you that makes it hard to let go" just got to me and i broke down and actually grieved for my old man for the first time. Bawled my eyes out. 

 

I don't even think it's a good song, in fact it's pretty poor, but that line just caught me off guard. Strange the way music has a habit of doing that to you.

There was a song on the Simpsons once, 'hello Grandpa my old friend, your busy day is at an end.' And that made me think of my granddad in much the same way. The line just sums up granddads.

I always watch Forest Gump with a huge lump in my throat.  The Youngblood's 'Get Together' from the soundtrack always gets me

It's the loss of his Mum that gets me. It makes me feel sad as fuck.

Not sure this is the right thread - I remember a similar one where I mentioned the Queen of Sheba Royle Family episode - but watched the last episode of Blackadder Goes Forth cuddled up with my ten year old daughter last night (she's Ben learning about WWI) and I'm still a wreck now.
