Ah well if you're allowed songs from films, this one does me in every time.
Up should've come with some kind of warning. We watched it when we were feeling sorry for ourselves after a miscarriage - we wanted something light-hearted and not too challenging and thought Up would do nicely (it is a children's film after all). What a bloody awful decision that was - I was in bits!
I cannot watch any children's hospital programmes, too difficult
Op luckily you didnt come home to see your wife crying over someone called Winston.
For those who have preschool kids.. Did you see the old jacks boat Christmas special ?
It's a modern jacanory with Bernard Cribbins as old jack who tells the story, they did the back story about it being the anniversary of his wife's passing and they did a ceremony on the beach. The Mrs was in floods of tears and even though I twigged what the story was going to be about I was welling a bit....
GrahamS - MemberTo be honest, I feel a bit sorry for the "big boys don't cry" RealMen ™
Nowt wrong with feeling stuff.
I never used to but I think a combination of losing loved ones, getting older and having a breakdown have turned me into a right fairy!
I don't care, as long as the chicks keep digging the fact that I make Barry White sound like Peewee Herman I'm all good. 8)

Yep - me and the missus were shooting each other teary glances while the little 'un was basically oblivious.
Driving home one Christmas, & ClassicFM played a recording of a Primary School class singing "The Holly & the Ivy", I cried like a baby.
Well you lot are either soppy girls blubbing away or I'm a hard faced git!
I only ever cried to Bambi when he realises his mum has been burned to death in the forest fire, I was 4!
Mind, Marley for me nearly got the water works going too btw.

Dumbo is nightmarish. I didn't cry, I cowered and then had nightmares.
Bambi's mum got shot, though.
It's seeing people with nothing in their lives, no hope, no chance, nothing.
People in war-struck parts of Africa, women holding pot bellied children who you know will be dead only days after the cameras leave. There's nothing for them and they know it.
Fills me up every time.

Was that the director's cut?
My 4-year-old got Puff the Magic Dragon for her birthday yesterday, and decided to sing it. Never realised it was so depressing at the end, though she is totally oblivious.
Having kids definitely does it - never used to be all that fussed about the news. I mean, I cared, I was angry about things, but it never emotionally affected me. Now can hardly bear to read any stories about kids especially.
I cried in Monsters Inc. when Boo thought she'd never see "Kitty" again.
I think there's something worng with me...
One born every minute.....gets me every time!

It's the hunter that dies in the forest fire. Coolhandluke cried when the dude who murdered Bambi's mum died! That's just sick.
I read that in the original cut of the film there's a lingering closeup on bambi's mum's corpse. That would have probably made me top myself.

And from my yoof:
A bit of personal exposure makes it fairly poignant....
