Brazil, at the end when Sam Lowry seeks refuge in madness.
American History X, when Norton finds Furlong.
Tears of the Sun, when the lady thanks Bruce for helping at the end.
And as much as I hate to admit because its such a crap movie- Double Jeopardy. At the end I think the way Ashley Judd plays going to the son she hasn’t seen in years, who may reject her, is perfect- her reluctance in the car, the way she walks up and stops and calls his name, the look on her face, her hesistance when hugging him- its all so sweet 
Nuh-uh–try Harold and Maude, I guarantee it will break this streak!
The only one that ever got me was My Girl, after her monologue in response to that |:eek:| Home Alone |:eek:| kid getting stung to death.
Oh wow, seconded! I came pretty close to bawling at that scene, and American History X is near the top of the list of movies I loved but could never sit through twice.
I read the book. I don’t dare watch the movie. :eek:
There’s a scene in Gone With the Wind that kills me every time. Scarlett has just kicked Rhett out of her bed under the pretense of not wanting any more children. Rhett, hiding his pain, sneers that her charms have long lost any appeal to him and it won’t cause him any hardship.
He then storms off, slamming into Pork who’s coming around the corner. The way Pork humbly says, “'Scuse me, Mistah Rhett” when it was Rhett’s fault just makes me want to kick Rhett in the ribs and help Pork with the rest of his chores.
I’ll second **Shadowlands ** and the wardrobe scene within.
Perhaps more significant and hits me everytime is the last scene of Imitation of Life.
Did anyone else see the sequel to Babe: Babe, Pig in the City.? It’s actually an interesting film with Babe going off to the city and staying in a hotel filled with a bunch of animals. (and it’s actually kinda dark, not really a kids movie) One of the animals is this little Jack Russel terrier with paralyzed hind legs that uses a little cart to get around. Anyway, the bad guys kidnap most of the animals and the feisty little dog latches onto a seatbelt hanging out of the car door and hangs on. The car turns a corner and the little dog is slung off…
You see the little dog lying on his side, one little wheel just turning. And then you’re in his “afterlife” and he’s got working legs again and he’s running and jumping and chasing butterflies. Dang it, I’m tearing up just typing this.
BTW, don’t worry, he’s not really dead.
Wit.
Emma Thompson plays a severe, emotionally stunted English professor dying of cancer (that’s just the set-up, not a spoiler.)
There were many points during the film that set me off, the first was when
[spoiler] the junior doctor, a former student of hers, gives her a pelvic exam, trying to locate the tumor. He’s pretty matter of fact about the whole deal, chatting to her about school days and saying that tumors of this type are quite hard to detect manually while he sticks his hand up her vagina. Then he suddenly stops and says;
“Oh.”
and you realise how big the tumor is, and how little there is to be done about it.

I just watched The Wedding Singer for the first time. The airplane scene severely moistened my eyes.
Maybe it’s just me, but I think Drew Barrymore and Adam Sandler are just magic together. Even better than Tom Hanks & Meg Ryan.
Also, were I to ever meet Drew Barrymore, I know deep in my heart that she would love me.
I’m an unbelievable sap at movies - a lot of the ones already listed apply to me too. Lots of times during the LOTR series, heck, most Disney cartoons. Charlotte’s Web gets me too - I sob every time Charlotte says goodbye to Wilbur.
One that no one’s mentioned yet is Gladiator. The scene when Maximus first arrives back at his villa - and then the closing scene, when he sees his wife and son again standing surrounded by the fields of their home - I’m lost every time.
United 93. I can’t even write about this without tearing up.
I don’t tear up a lot at movies, I laugh at the ‘in the water’ ending of titanic, but a few of the movies that do make me shed a tear, can do it everytime no matter how often I watch them.
Many have already been mentioned -
Saving Private Ryan - particlarly at the end where “Private Ryan” is hunched over the Captain’s grave.
Flags of our Fathers - actually only seen this one once but again was fighting back a few tears right at the end as IIRC names and photos(?) of some of the soldiers involved were shown.
Green Mile - every time I watch it, when Coffey goes to the chair.
Field of Dreams - hadn’t seen it in ages, but was on Showtime Greats last week, and where Kevin Costners character gets to talk with his father.
Shawshank Redemption - powerful movie this one, I usually get a little choked up as the narrator describes what Andy went through to escape.
Dead Poet’s Society - “Oh Captain, my captain” no matter how many times I watch this movie that scene will have tears streaming down my face.
Kokoda - a recent Aussie war drama, was choking me up in a couple of places.
Breaker Morant - “shoot straight you bastards don’t make a mess of it.” once again not crying but definitely choked up some.
I need to add Hero. There’s a scene near the end, where Broken Sword makes one last plea for Nameless to abandon his plan to assassinate the King of Qin, and then rides away. His servant, Moon, stays behind for a moment and says a few words to Nameless. Throughout the movie, we saw that Moon was devoted to her master, Broken Sword, but her simple speech really drove it home and left me in tears:
Master Nameless, even though I am only a lowly servant, please permit me a few words. I have served my master since I was eight. From him I learnt the martial arts and how to live with principles. My master is never wrong. What he wrote must be important. Master Nameless, please consider his advice carefully.
I think it was months for me. The first time I watched it, I was in so much shock I didn’t even cry at first.
Ghost with Demi Moore and Patrick Swayze always does it for me - bawling like a baby before it’s over.
