The Show Must Go On by Queen, because I'm a huge Queen fan and Freddie is a great loss, but moreso because we had it played at the service at moms funeral earlier this year.

Erm.....the chapter in Lord Of The Rings in the middle of the Battle of Pellenor Fields, all is lost and The Lord Of the Nazgul has just rode in through the Gates of Minis Tirith, when all had fled, alone stands Gandalf astride Shadowfax and a lone cockeral ushers in the Dawn, and then........horns, horns, horns in the west! :o Rohan had come at last! Ooooooo! Im welling up thinking about it! The Riders of Rohan arrive to save the day! Just cant read that without getting a lump in me throat! :o Pity they never did that bit in the film! :(

The wind in the willows, in particular the chapter, "The piper at the gates of dawn" where rat and mole come across the Great God Pan guarding the baby otter, makes me sob every time!!!

The final battle scene in the Last samuri, when they all bow, now that is a great scene.

"He Aint Heavy, He's My Brother!" by The Hollies!
It was playing the morning after I heard that my younger brother had died from an epileptic fit! His first and only one! Poor bugger was only 38!

If I got something I want to get out of my system, or just fancy a good weep - I watch Steel Magnolias. Does it every time for me.

Okay,admission time,Fran & I went to see Ghost when it came out.I must have had something in my eyes cos they wouldn't stop watering.
Wasn't crying y'know.Not me.Honest.Wasn't. :o :o
Fran was! :D
what Friar Tuck just said was very sad, I don't think I could ever listen to that record again if it was me :( :( although some may say it wasn't a coincidence that that tune was playing???
the other thing that I can't handle is children crying, not the tantrum tears, the real tears, especially if the tears were caused by a parent being cruel :(

'Poetry & Jazz' by John Otway had the tears rolling down my face when I first heard it.
Reminded me of my stepdaughter, who I've seen once since she was 12 (she's 18 now).
Cheers,
Byrnie.

My Mothers favourite hymn The Old Rugged Cross
Pray you never hear it sung by drunken Glaswegians!That WILL bring tears to yer eyes! :eek:
The last film I saw where I 'got something in my eye' was E.T. My missus on the other hand regulally cries at most things on the T.V. The Santa Clause 2 was last nights tear jerker........ :confused:

The poem about a corner of a foreign field that is forever England. No just because of the First war and Babs's Grandad being KIA and no known grave, but also my younger brother buried in Port Glasgow Cemetry, with a beautiful view across the Clyde to the Free French Memorial. He died in the Paisley train crash aged 24, just out of the army because his missus didn't want him to go to NI again and eight months pregnant with a son he never got to see. Even as I type this, I still well up even though it was 25 years ago.
I love most of the WW1 poets and one of my favourite songs, which I think would be apt for a biker funeral is 'Brothers In Arms' by Dire Straits
my late (two years now :( ) grandfather's fvourite - Danny Boy *cry*
