The end of <i>Imitation of Life</i> makes me bawl. It always makes me feel guilty. Not that I was ever as awful to my mom as Sarah Jane was, but still, if I’m watching it anywhere near my mom, I have to go give her a hug.
I am a gigantic wuss. I cry at movies all the time, but there are very few movies I will cry when I see them a second time. The all time winners in that category:
Schindler’s List: From the moment they give him the ring until the about midway through the end credits, I am pretty much inconsolable.
The Green Mile: Wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong ending. Bad Steven King. That isn’t what really happens. No, no, no. Boo.
Heh, heh, heh. Yeah, because Stephen King is known for his happy endings, right? snort snicker
Thanks, you just brought joy to my day. 
Gah. I how could I have forgoten about Imitation of Life, clearly the saddest movie ever made?
Dumbo. When he goes to see his mom and she’s chained up, and then that damn beautiful sad song comes in and you see all the other, mean little circus babies with thier mommies, and Dumbo only gets to hug Jumbo’s trunk, I lose it. Lose it. Just hearing that song makes me cry. I’m getting all weepy just thinking about it.
There are many others, but this one gets me like no other. sniff
I am such a cretin for admitting this but…
Sister Act II Back in the Habit
The scene where they win the championship. It’s a bad movie, and manipulative as hell, but I cry each time I see that scene…
Hides head in shame 
Have any of you guys seen Life as a House with Kevin Kline?
MOST. MANIPULATIVE. MOVIE. EVER!
You find out almost right away that he has inoperable cancer, so I’m sure I’m not giving anything away by saying he dies in the end, so you cry and cry and cry, but then the VERY end has to stick in this little extra SUPER SAD and TOUCHING bit that’s just like a knife in your heart and you don’t know how you’re ever going to go on with your life, you’re so damn sad. Cripes. I cried so long and hard I had a headache for the rest of the day.
Agree about The Color Purple…several parts make me cry, but the ending gets me to sobbing uncontrollably EVERY TIME.
Another one that sneaks up on me is Fried Green Tomatoes. Even a couple scenes with Kathy Bates and Jessica Tandy will get me…like the scene where Kathy Bates thinks Jessica has died and she cries, “She was my friend, and I loved her!” Damn, that one gets to me. Then of course what happens to Ruth sends me over the edge even on days where crying is the furthest thing from my mind.
To join an emerging chorus, Schindler’s List is literally the only film I’ve ever seen that moves me to tears and somehow it does it every time. Even when I just see the end. It’s partly the cleverness of his farewell speech - it seems almost tasteless to reduce actual victims to might-have-been cash, but it skewers something about the character, so you realise the way he used his limitations for the greater good in a way that’s profoundly moving and challenging - yet it’s the avenue of gravestones that ultimately invariably gets to me.
Last of the Mohicans (Michael Mann version) It’s a hard movie to finish.
Fellowship of the Ring - the bit right after Khazad-dum.
The Untouchables (Brian De Palma version) - Malone.
Oh, so do I.
Boys on the Side leaves me a in tears every damn time.
Beaches
An Affair To Remember
Armageddon (when they sing leaving on a jet plane/ don’t know when I’ll be back again)
I think most of mine have already been mentioned, but to list them:
The Miracle Worker–The scene at the pump when Helen has her breakthrough.
The Joy Luck Club–I can sometimes get through the scene where the mother leaves her twin babies under the tree, but always cry at the end, when the American-born daughter meets her two sisters and tells them their mother has died… oh, hell, I’m choking up now just thinking about it.
Field of Dreams–For years, I was guaranteed at least to mist up when Ray realizes who the catcher is (“No, Ray, it was for you”), but I seem to have gotten past that one.
Life is Beautiful and Tea with Mussolini have taught me that I am a sucker for great, big Allied tanks rolling into Italy near the end of WWII.
There are two scenes in Glory that get me (in addition to MonkeyMensch’s contribution:[ul]
[li]When Shaw comes out for parade the morning after reading the declaration from the Confederate Congress, and sees that the entire regiment-including Major Forbes-is still there.[/li][li]The aftermath of the assault, when the black soldier (try as I might, I can’t say positively whether it’s Trip) slides down and nestles against Shaw. For some reason, the impression I get is of a father sleeping with a baby.[/li][/ul]
And now for my own addition: the end of Shakespeare in Love. From the moment when the end (main?) title music starts, I’m a goner.
** “Running on Empty” **
:`(
The end of Out of Africa, when Karen talks about the letter telling her about the lions resting on Denys’s grave.
Two scenes always get to me in Transformers: The Movie. The first one is when Optimus Prime buys it. Always brings a tear to my eye.
The second scene is where Hot Rod gets the Matrix and starts to morph into Rodimus Prime. When I hear Optimus’ voice in the background saying, “Arise Rodimus Prime.”, I always break down.
<B>The Green Mile</B>
I’ve never cried so hard at a movie in my life! When John talks about how much pain there is in the world and then they kill him! Too sad!
<B>Titanic</B> when she throws the necklace over the boat…gets me every time!
Fried Green Tomatoes
To Kill A Mockingbird
the color purple- it gets me every time

Anna and the King- No! they are supposed to be togther darn it!
