If it had Ron Jeremy in it, it’d be When Harry Met Hairrier.
I don’t think I’d cry at that.

WARNING: POSSIBLE SPOILERS AHEAD
The Green Mile - I cried when I read the book, and the books that can make me cry are VERY FEW and far between. I knew I was in for it when I rented the movie.
Steel Magnolias - When Sally Fields breaks down at the cemetary after the funeral. I boo-hoo nearly every time I see that.
My Girl - If you’ve seen it you know why. 'Nuff said.
I could go on and on forever. I’ve been known to cry at the drop of a hat for no apparent reason, and more often for happy scenes than for sad ones.
I am sich a blubberer
Steel Magnolias “I’d rather have twenty minutes of wonderful then a lifetime of nothing special”
The Color Purple “Everything you done to me, already done to you”
Moll Flanders My God, the whole movie!
And lastly…
Dumbo That whole “Baby Mine” scene
I tear up easily enough at lots of movies and shows these days, at least when watching alone. Random selections:
Grave of the Fireflies. I’ve seen it once, and think a few more years, and then a couple more for good measure, before I have a repeat viewing will be a good thing.
The Thin Red Line. Various points throughout. The inner reflections at the very end slug me everytime, though. “If I should never find you in this life, let me feel the lack. One glance from your eyes, and my life will be yours.” “Oh my soul, let me be in you now. Look out through my eyes, look out at the things you’ve made. All things shining.”
Harold and Maude, primarily the end sequence. Cat Stevens’ “Trouble” as Harold zooms along, expression just numb and dead, towards his final decision. And the concluding moments after that decision is revealed.
And not a movie, but I’ll include it since it’s very recent. I just recently finished a reviewing of Serial Experiments Lain, and (particularly now that the whole thing makes more sense then the first time through especially) the full impact of what the namesake chose to wrap things up caused some ocular leaks.
Spoilers:
Storm of the Century (It just leaves me with such an empty feeling at the end. And you see this completely happy town, and this good, ethical guy has his family ripped apart. And I feel like I’ve gone through the whole movie with the whole town. Sigh.)
Posyn,, I agree with the “Dumbo” thing. And the scene in the pound in “Lady and the Tramp.”
I teared up a little at the end of “Indochine,” I must admit. That woman’s daughter just abandoning her like that, and her letting her go. It was a great ending, just depressing.
I cried LOUD at “Hannibal”. All that wasted talent and money. sob
Seriously; “One flew over the Cuckoo’s nest”
“Of Mice and Men”
“Dumbo” [yes, really]
For the rest; If a film only hints at sad things, I’m not gonna see it.
I don’t cry. At least when people can see me.
That said, the first time I saw Titanic (I ended up going to the theater to see it like five times with five different groups of people, even though I didn’t like the movie), I suddenly realized about halfway through that this was a true story (the background, anyway, screw Jack and Rose), this boat had been full of real people, and a whole assload of them had been doomed from the start and none of them had a clue about it. That shocked me into teary-eyedness.
But I’ve never cried at a movie.
Okay, did none of you tender-hearted persons cry during Joy Luck Club or were you so emotionally scarred that you’ve repressed the memories? That movie didn’t just have a sad ending, but a sad begining and multiple sad middles, too.
The Lion King jerked a few of my tears at the end when the new cub was born & the circle of life was completed.
I cried like a baby during “Forrest Gump.” Especially the scene where Forrest is sitting at Jenny’s sickbed telling her about all the amazing things he saw… I just bawled.
Mrs. RickJay and I both cried at the end of “You’ve Got Mail,” but we met over the internet so that’s a subjective case.
Damn that Tom Hanks, he got me three times; I cried at “Saving Private Ryan,” too. And Spielberg also got me in “Schindler’s List” (the final scene when he gets the gold ring) and “Amistad.”
Torch Song Trilogy is good for a few tears especially at the end where Arnold slowly collects and caresses all of the mementos from his loved ones.
Dumbo. I have to leave the room when he goes to visit his mother in “jail.”
The Dead Poet’s Society. “Oh Captain, my Captain!”
Titanic-the part when they pan over the elderly couple-the Strausses cuddling in bed, and the Irish mother in steerage reading to her children.
Anastasia-pretty much the whole damn movie.
Doctor Zhivago-when she leaves on the train with Komorovsky
That’s the movie I thought of one I read the thread title. One big bawl-fest from the beginning to the end for me.
The Mighty at the very very end where the big kid has his breakthrough
Gladiator this ones pretty obvious where. This one isn’t so much for the death (although it’s sad) but for personal reasons.
Pay it Forward this one is pretty obvious as to where as well.
Oh yah, Dead Poets Society at the same spot as SpazCat
*Little Women(the one with Winona Ryder and Christian Bale) - I can’t even get throught the book, so seeing this movie just brought me to tears. I own the movie, but have only watched it once since I got it.
*Evita - I wasn’t the only one. A really tough looking guy had to leave through the front exit because he was crying.
*Final Fantasy - only because I wasted my time and money on it. :mad:
I don’t cry much in movies, unless I am laughing so hard that I am crying. Like I did last night when I saw Rat Race.
It’s a Wonderful Life
City Lights
and
Schindlers List
The strange thing about SL is that I got through the entire movie just fine but at the end when the workers give him the letter and the ring I start but when Schindler starts in on how he didn’t do enought and sees what few possesions he has as people he could have saved I really lose it.
Oh, that part got me too. He starts saying, “I’m not so great, I could’ve saved thousands more…” then he gradually breaks down and says, “Why not just one more…” and I started to cry.
I have to say, though, this movie wasn’t the kind to make me cry-more likely, I just sat there, feeling nauseous at the idea of what happened then…it left me feeling empty, somehow-or appalled at the evil of the Nazis.
There are definetly a few of these…

[li]Phenomenon[/li][li]My Girl[/li][li]Forrest Gump[/li][li]Schindler’s List[/li][/ul]
that’s all I can think of right now, and I am pretty embarassed to say this, but there are 2 commercials that get me going. They are both Cingular ads, one of them is the one about the special olympics, and there are 4 boys competing in a 200 meter dash, or some running event. Well, they all take off, and one of them falls, and then, the other 3 stop, go back to the boy that fell, and they walk to the finish line, together, all three of them, arm around another. The other one is about the painter with no arms, and he has some mental disablity. He is shown painting pictures with a special head-mounted brush, and it is so sad. Then at the end he says, “I am so lucky”, then, like clockwork, I lose it. Oh well…
The end of the Sixth Sense…and also the scene with Haley Joel Osment and his mother in the car when they’re talking about his grandma.
Also the Dead Poets’ Society, during the “O Captain, my Captain” part.
