When Midge the Otter gets chopped in half by that nasty ditch digger :cry:

I seem to recall that the position of the spade meant he would get splatted rather than chopped.

Saw that in the pictures when I were nowt but a nipper - my big sis burst into (loud) floods of tears. I were that embarrassed...

i once watched a film called (i think) "who will look after my children". About a woman who had an alcoholic husband and about 10 children. She was diagnosed with cancer and bcoz her husband couldn't look after them, she had to find adoptive parents for all her kids. Based on a true story too. I cried from beginning to end.
Musical comedy kind of thing yeah?

ET. *sniff*

Also, less mainstreamly, a little-known but rather wonderful movie called Robin & Marion, with an ageing Sean Connery and an ageless Audrey 'she is a Goddess' Hepburn.

The final scene in Cyrano de Bergerac, on his deathbed, where Cyrano and Roxanne's love is finally revealed to each other-
Depardieu at his very best, superb film - even the subtitles are rhyming couplets - by Anthony Burgess (of clockwork Orange fame)

And who hasn't shed a tear when Mowgli leaves his (animal) friends to return to his own world now smitten with a pretty lass from the village.

Senna . i know how its going to end but still gives me a lump . knowing its real makes it worse .
Hmmm...yes. Too real to be called a tearjerker, methinks. Have to say I know nothing (and care less) about motor racing, but that movie was a real eye-opener. The staggering gall of the Gaul - the President of the motor racing nuts association who was buddies with Proust, and did things like deciding that for this race, pole position was going to be on the other (less advantageous) side of the track. Why? 'Parce que je say so, and je suis le grand fromage.'
