In the 50s there was a movie titled * Man of a Thousand Faces, * the biography of Lon Chaney. I was about 8 and my dad took me to see it. The deathbed scene at the end was the coup de grace–I think I cried all the way home. (Oddly enough, I haven’t seen the movie anywhere since then.) 
Lots of movies have made me cry. Some have already been mentioned in other threads like Schindler’s List and Field of Dreams.
However, there is but ONE television series that has elicted tears from my eyes on a regular basis and that was:
Little House on the Prarie
Damm that little half-pint, Mary, Ma, and Pa really get to me!

The first movie that ever made me cry was Captains Courageous with Spencer Tracy. There’s a part where Tracy’s character is thrown overboard and injured and yelling up to the crew on deck in his language (I forget which one, it’s been so long) so the boy who’s become like a son to him won’t understand. In English he tells the boy how much he loves him and everything’s ok. Then in his language he tells the crew that the bottom half of his body is cut of by some rigging and he’s going to die any minute. At the end, the boy throws a wreath off a cliff into the sea in his memory. Oh, man…no stopping the waterworks. I also cried at “Imagine – John Lennon” even though I knew he was gonna die (haha) but the way they portrayed it was so poignant, a pair of tinted granny glasses falling in slow motion and shattering. Chilling.
- Blair Witch Project *, cried about pissing away $15.
“…send lawyers, guns, and money…”
Warren ZevonI cried at the end of “The Elephant Man” (the David Lynch version), in my highschool sophomore English class. I can’t think of a more embarrassing place for a guy to cry. I took shit for that for years. Very powerful movie, though. I remember way more about it than I do that stupid class.
Just saw the “Iron Giant” today. Warning: Spoiler. I cried when IG “died” while saving the town and I cried when it was apparent that he would come back to life.
I am a crier at movies…I spent the last hour of “Good Will Hunting” just sobbing.
I cry at sad things and touching things. This is why I can’t sit through “Dumbo” Luckily it’s not one of my daughter’s favorites.

The only movie that makes me cry (I’m a hard-hearted wench hehehe) is Truly, Madly, Deeply (i.e. a much better version of Ghost). I bawl every time I see it, probably because Juliet Stevenson spends 90% of the movie crying. 
I prefer rogues to imbeciles because they sometimes take a rest.
Alexandre Dumas the Younger (1824-1895)
definatly dumbo when momma gets locked up and dumbo can’t see her…That gets me every time.
Also Puff the magic dragon…when puff leaves jackie and they start to play that song…
And lastly, in ‘Best of the Best’ Warning spoiler…when Tommy wants to kill Dae Han and he doesn’t and then then Dae Han Shares his metal and says all that stuff about them being brothers…sorry i gotta go blow my nose!
A couple come to mind- I’m not usually a big movie crier, but in the last few years it’s gotten bad…
Steel Magnolias (yikes- really bad crying, too)
Born on the Fourth of July
Philadelphia (during the final scene when they’re at the house after the funeral showing the home movies…oh, my God…even my hard-hearted husband left the movie with bleary eyes)
And- I didn’t want to, believe me…the part in Titanic where he dies and she blows the whistle…damn, I am getting so soft in my old age…

Dirty Devil:
I can’t believe you brought that up. While I have cried at probably hundreds of movies, the only one I recall crying pretty much all the way through was “The Elephant Man”. In fact, not only did I cry, and cry hard, all the way through, I cried for nearly an hour after it was over, all the way home.
Like I said, I’ve cried at hundreds of movies. If you’re supposed to cry, I cry. (Although certain movies leave me remarkably dry-eyed, such as "The English Patient, which I thought mostly sucked.) One of the early ones that I cried so hard I nearly screamed, and again cried all the way home and cried myself to sleep, was Franco Zefferelli’s “Romeo and Juliet”, which I saw when I was 11 years old. I barely comprehended most of the language, of course, but I certainly understood enough to be completely devastated by their suicides. I have now seen that movie around 40 times. I didn’t completely stop crying until about the 20th time.
Most ridiculous crying at a movie (Hey, I was 11 or 12) was “Son of Godzilla” - poor baby godzilla was crying and stuck in the snow at the end!
He who laughs last thinks slowest.
Crying moments in movies.
I agree with Gail about the Iron Giant, tears welled up as I realized what was gonna happen.
There was this episode of Happy Days were Fonzie was home alone for Christmas, and he made up some crazy story about where he was going and Richie went over and spied him eating tuna fish or something, then he invited him over. Cry moment.
Its A Wonderful Life.
Miracle On 34th Street.
I guess the holiday movies just get me.
Sixth Sense that end scene between the boy and his mom.
The Sweet Hereafter when the lawyer is telling the story about saving his daughter from the spider bite.
Philadelphia
Pride of the Yankees when Lou Gherig (Gary Cooper) is walking into the stadium to give his retirement speech and the sick kid from earlier in the movie comes by to tell him he is feeling better.
To Kill A Mockingbird when Scout sits on Boo Radley’s lap.
Thats all I can think of right now.
Oh, then there is the scene in Batman Forever when George Clooney pulls out the Bat Credit Card. I wanted to cry, I really did. Or scream, or pillage, or burn or something… Stupid, ruin Batman like that, and just when he recovered from the 60s.

To Pricciar: * It’s a Wonderful Life * is a favorite of mine, although I break down when I read what Clarence wrote on the flyleaf of * Tom Sawyer * and although Potter was never nailed for stealing the $8000.
Another movie–a comedy documentary–always gets to me: * The Golden Age of Comedy. * As Laurel & Hardy walk off, in the same oversize trousers, the announcer says, “The clowns depart. We shall never see their kind again…this is the end of America.”
OK: I’ll fess up, even if, officially, us men just don’t cry - period. I’ll admit shedding a tear or two when I first saw ‘Terms of Endearment’. Second time I saw it, I went to the cinema with a female friend; when THE moment came up, I just sat back and listened to the concert of noses honking all around. First time was in Ontario, second time was in The Netherlands.
Some things are just universal. 
I’m a pretty sensitive guy, and crying at movies is not a big deal to me. But one movie that makes me bawl is Deep Impact. I’ve seen it four times, and I cry buckets every time. It’s pitiful.
Not to nitpick, but Pricciar made an error. George Clooney is in “Batman and Robin,” not “Batman Forever.” Val Kilmer plays Batman in BF.

Well I cry pretty easily, and I have cried at some really awful films.
My favorite movie that brings on the waterworks is Schindler’s List. The end at Schindler’s gravesite gets me everytime.
Carpe hoc!
Moosiegirl! I thought I was the only person on the planet who knew about “Truly Madly Deeply”! I bawled my way through that one too.
.
“It’s a Wonderful Life,” “The Color Purple,” and “Deep Impact” are movies I can hardly get into the VCR anymore without bursting into tears.
How about scenes that choke you up? I’m not one to cry at movies, and some of the tears at the movies described here seem to be caused by the sum of all the bits and pieces of the movie.
For some reason in Thelma & Louise I get all choked up when Sarandon (Louise) is talking to her boyfriend (Jimmy) on the phone from the motel. She can’t explain why they can’t meet and what kind of trouble she is in. That Glen Frey song is sneaking up in the background, and I just go to pieces…in my own way. Ripley is really pushing all the right buttons.
Second for Steel Magnolias. I’ve seen it about seventeen times, and I don’t think I’ve made it through without crying. I still get teary-eyed at the end of When Harry Met Sally, too. But the all-time worst is And The Band Played On… I quite literally BAWL every time I see that movie, especially the nice gut-wrenching photo montage set to that one Elton John song at the end (what is that song called, anyway?). I love that movie…
RadioFlyer
Phenomenon (I was in a mood)
Cuckoo’s Nest
Lion King (I was lonely)
I get bleary-eyed and choked up more often than I actually cry. Only two movies have made me cry, Steel Magnolias and Titanic.
Shakespeare in Love did something to me (or maybe it was just Joseph Fiennes…)
Veni, Vidi, Visa … I came, I saw, I bought.
