Thora Hird in her 2 Talking Heads monologues.
Doesn't matter how many times I watch them, they get me every time 
If you can watch 'waiting for the telegram' without fillin up, you are not of this earth ! |

Certain scenes in certain films or TV programmes can set me off, but the film that can be GUARANTEED to set me blubbing like a baby is "Backdraft".
It is the scene near to the end of the film, when the Pipe band strikes up and leads the funeral cortege through the city, followed by the graveside scene.
It gets me every single time!  |

Another REM song was played at a mate's funeral. He died of a heart attack and his ten year old son said, "Dad, why didn't you tell us you had chest pains?"
Then 'Everybody Hurts' was played. Very sad. |

Oscar Schindler died in poverty after using almost all his wealth saving Jews during the war. It's a great film and I've got it recorded on Sky+ but Siren can't watch it. In her current condition she blubs at a leaf on a breeze at the moment.  |

Watching 'Meet Joe Black'. Before he dies - the part where the sister says to her father that he was allowed to have a favourite (her sister) as he was always hers. She always felt loved.

seeing other people upset at funerals gets me every time.
i think the actual service can be quite surreal and can detatch from it but other people being upset just does me.
when i went to my friends dads funeral last year, i was composed to the degree where i surprised even myself.
then when the coffin was going, i saw my m8 reach over and take his mums hand and that was it 'blithering dithpot' mode  |

Claire Forlani, who plays Susan Parrish (the sister you mentioned), in that film, looks like she's in permanent 'about to bawl' mode. 
Good film though. |

google a lady called Irena Sendler - another outstanding person (she wouldn't want to be seen as a 'hero')
never recognised to the degree that schindler was but someone we should all take a look at imho |

At my age, 'getting the waterworks going' isn't about crying tears.......
Anyway, what makes me cry-
-seeing men getting upset does it everytime
-Maybe there's a Heaven by that man with the beard who's name I have just thisminute forgotten.....tsk. Probably not even the right song name lol
-saying a final farewell to someone dearly loved |

my late ex always had a favorite band which she would sing along to.
i always knew she was happy when she put on that cd and sung along to it.
today i cannot listen to any of there music.i buy the cd's but they just sit in the rack unopened and never played.
and as soon as i hear any of their songs on the radio or elsewhere i have to occupy my mind with something or i hit rock bottom quickly.
i even walked out of a football ground before kick off because they played one of the songs over the p.a.
somethings you never get over regardless of how tough you think you are. |

Going through the menopause I'm finding I'm tearing up at the oddest of things. I HATE football, but I was chanel hopping and paused at the news. It showed a footballer from some team, missing the goal and the look on his face and the collective sigh that went up had me in tears!
I felt so sorry for him missing the goal - now I ask you?!!
I tend to get sad when I hear Sacrifice by Elton John, as it was always playing in intensive care where my son died. |

"Watching the hearses with dead servicemen coming through Wooten Basset"
ditto - i so want to switch over when that comes on the news but that is disrespectful
seeing all the boys, young and old on remembrance sunday has a similar effect
not the best thing seeing as my flat overlooks the local memorial  |

Any wedding has me in tears and certain films. I'm ok with Bambi now but I sobbed my bloody heart out when Andy gave Woody to that little girl before going off to Uni, Woody's face, I mean they've together years those two, I'm nearly crying now.
I'm not obsessed with conservation but any tales or programmes on the killing of gorillas in Rwanda gets me and I can't watch Gorillas in the Mist. Its my lifetime ambition to go on a trip to see gorillas in their natural habitat  |

Goodbye Mr Chips at the end when he's on his deathbead about to draw his last and someone says, "Poor Chips, he never had any children of his own," and he opens an eye and says, "Oh but I did, thousands of them, and they were...all...boys!" Then he cops it.
Gets me every time right between the eyes that does. |

men crying seems to always get me. i nearly cried in an investigation meeting the other day cos the guy started welling up |

The bit from that film with Ben Affleck and Bruce Willis, where they blow up the asteriod. The bit where Bruce goes down in the lift to the asteriod with Ben, who has drawn the short straw to remain behind and blow the asteriod and himself up, and Bruce swaps places..... gets me every time when Bruce goes on about Ben looking after his daughter. |

It's hard not to shed a tear during the BBC documentary "Clydebank Blitz" shown earlier this evening (Monday).
A couple of nights carpet bombing by the Luftwaffe broke a wee town on the Clyde to an extent from which it has never really recovered.
We rightly honour the 'Lest We Forget' motto but most of the lads who took the shilling back then had a fair idea what they were letting themselves in for.
The men, women and especially the children of Clydebank, at least on the first night, never knew what hit them.
For them I offer
"Hush, hush, time to be sleeping
Hush, hush, dreams come a-creeping
Dreams of peace and of freedom
So smile in your sleep, bonny bairn"
