The Unfailing Tearjerker. We all have one.

...It's about a british commando from world war 2...

This made me remember another tune that make me rather sad (I know it's about WWI), Eric Bogle's No Man's Land. The Band Played Waltzing Matilda too.

WTF???

[MrBump]

Just been reminded of another couple.

The children's story "The Little Match Girl"... Oh my word.  Can't read that to my kids without crying and my voice going.  It's embarrassing.

Also - the film The Green Mile.

I clicked that link when I came to the end of MDV's suggestion http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=izQsgE0L450
T'was a bit of a drastic transition.

Closest thing to a musical tear jerker for me is Moonlight Sonatta....or rather, me attemping to play it on a £50 classical guitar.

I guarantee that 99% of you are going to utterly hate this. But you're wrong, it's utter genius.

well - i watched Watership Down on ITV3 yesterday afternoon. no tears whatsoever. thought it was a decent animation (but not amazing). i guess people show it to their kids too young. must have been a tender age when i watched it because i remember being really unhappy back in the day.

Apparently the one you really shouldn't watch is the other Richard Adams adaptation, The Plague Dogs....

Also - the film The Green Mile. 

Yeah, that does it for me too.

I saw that at the cinema and it totally caught me off guard, was fighting 'em back - such a moving film.

This thread is showing that we're all a bunch of wet blokes hiding behind our Morbid Angel t-shirts  :roll:

I thought The Green Mile was just a contrived and flagrant attempt to make a film even more tear-jerking and Oscar-worthy than The Shawshank Redemption - same setting, same author, same director.  But it isn't half as good a film.  :P

Half as good as Shawshank is still worthy of spots in top 100 rankings though imho.

I don't have emotions other than happy and pist off, but this one is as close as you're ever gonna get. One of my favorite tunes ever.
