Jesus that movie fucked me up. I was a mess.
I have no problem admitting that I cry at the end of Phonebooth when Stu is giving his confession, if I watched the movie from the beginning and allowed it all to build up. Have cried multiple times during this scene, even.
I have only seen Requiem For A Dream once and I cried at the ending of that one as well. Won’t be watching that movie again any time soon though.
I cry at movies all the damn time. The most recent was Defiance with Daniel Craig and Liev Schrieber, but it’s a Holocaust picture (well, sort of) and so heartwrenching by nature.
The most persistent? Sister Act II, at the end, when the kids are singing at the competition. It doesn’t matter how many times I’ve seen that, if I hit it when I’m channel surfing, I’ll watch, and I’ll cry.
American Splendor. It made me blub like a little baby on more than one occasion.
Here be Pixar spoilers.
Up got me in the opening montage. The family went to see it shortly after my mother hadj a stillbirth to end a difficult pregnancy. 
The rest was good but ow.
And Pixar got me again with Toy Story 3. Twice. When they all hold hands going down into the incinerator, and just share the knowledge that they’ve given it all to Andy and they’re going out together gets me sad but proud. and then at the end when Andy gives them up so they can be special to someone new it chokes me up with a smile.
EDIT: And Wall-E didn’t make me cry, but it probably came close. Is Pixar getting more tear jerking, or am I getting soft? I think I’ll be safe with Cars 2.
Not many dry eyes (if any) during the early montage scene in Up at our screening.
As mentioned earlier, the end of The Return of the King for me. Cue Annie Lennox singing and the tears start rolling down.
Up as well for me. I’ve never wanted children, so that wasn’t the rough part for me; seeing them never get to make that trip was rough.
West Side Story every time. But that’s a given.
Once that caught me out recently was the end of The Sixth Sense.
I trust spoiler boxes are unnecessary at this stage.
I’d seen it several times, I was channel surfing, and it was on. I’ve got a bit teary before at the bit at the end in the car when the kid is telling his mother that “Grandma says hi”, and goes on to tell the story about the ballet recital. It struck an emotional chord, having lost my own mother a few years ago.
But I forgot that I hadn’t watched it since I lost my husband. So when Anna is lying dozing with the wedding video on, whispering “Why did you leave me?” - oh boy. Really should have seen it coming. Cried buckets.
I’m a big old sap and tear up all the time. Maybe I spend too much time alone…
Heck, I even teared up some last night watching a rerun of one of the Bones Christmas episodes.
No, I didn’t cry, but the “When She Loved Me” montage in Toy Story 2 had me a little choked up. And the last line in Ordinary People - “I’m not disappointed, dad. I love you.” Sniff.
And this too.

The Judy Garland version of A Star Is Born.
Just the line, “This is Mrs. Norman Maine” can get me to cry but there was a time when I was involved in an abusive, alcoholic relationship and this scene is a heart-wrenching portrayal of life as co-dependent.
Damn - just linking to that scene and I’m sitting here bawling…
Got a bit teary when I first saw Gladiator - the bit near the end where he’s walking through the corn fields and you know he’s going home to his family.
Every jr. high English class in my school watched this movie, and every class reported that the teacher cried at the end. Every time.
When I was a kid I remember *Mask *getting to me. It’s based on a true story, which I think adds to the sadness (although I’m sure some of it is slightly embellished). It’s very unlike most stories about people with a disability or disease who usually start out in a bad way but end up making the most of it, finding the bright side, whatever. *Mask *is the opposite. Rocky Dennis goes from always looking at the bright side to hitting a streak of bad luck and realizing that his life actually is pretty crappy.
*The Notebook *
Love Story
Turn Left, Turn Right (Chinese film) - get a copy to watch. You’ll thank me later.
Scrooged - When the little boy finally talks…I watch it every Xmas and it still gets me.
one more…Seven, only because I realized that it was a movie, and Gwyneth Paltrow was still alive in real life.
I cried and cried and cried at the end of ET. But in all fairness, I was only about eight at the time.
I didn’t cry at the end of The Mist, but I did feel like I’d been punched in the chest, as did my husband. We were pretty sombre for the rest of the evening and both of us mentioned a few days later how we were still thinking about it.
Mine is Monsters, Inc.. It helps to be a big hairy galoot with a little daughter. Every “Kitty!!” reminds me of how much I love my little munchkin.
Cinema Paradiso?
The Killing Fields?
It’s a Wonderful Life?
Imagine: John Lennon. I saw it in a theater when it came out in 1988 and got so wrapped up in it I wasn’t thinking of what was coming.
I’m not a cryer, but it sure doesn’t take much to get the wife started.
*Up *(the opening scenes)
*Toy Story 2 *(When Somebody Loved Me)
*Toy Story 3 *(the incinerator scene)
Schindler’s List (also very somber at the end. I saw it in the theater during its first release, and I remember several people (us included), wandering around the parking lot in a daze after it let out).
*Bolt *(when the cat talks about being left behind–I’m powerless against sad cat stories) - I remember this because it was only a couple of weeks ago.
