Also, I refuse to watch My Girl ever again because I will fall to pieces during the funeral scene. Trust me, watching me bawl like a baby over that scene is not a pretty sight.
I also can't watch Titanic without tearing up in the scene after the boat sinks. I used to cry every time I watched The Last Unicorn.
It's not a movie, but I finished watching Basilisk this weekend. I cried like a baby at the end.
Oboro and Gennosuke are the last two ninja standing. Rather than fight the man she loves, Oboro kills herself. Gennosuke's eyes reopen just in time to watch her die. In order to restore honor to Oboro's clan, he writes on the scroll that her family won the series-long battle. Then he carries Oboro's body into the river and kills himself, landing in the same position their grandparents did at the beginning of the series.
On the subject of death and daemons disappearing: arrows sure are effective in Lyra's universe. Seems like if you get shot once, you're dead - no lingering deaths with your daemon huddling pitifully in your arms, just *thunk* *argh* *whoosh*. A battlefield full of the dying would just be so much more depressing when you add in wailing gerbils and dogs.

I have never cried from a movie, or even really come close (been moved, yes, but not tears). But I've determined that I probably have no soul or something or else I wouldn't think most of the stuff in this thread is sentimental drivel (although I haven't seen most of the movies here anyway).
I second Rudy and The Truman Show for being powerful. At least, that's what I remember, I haven't watched them in a long time.
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind --- I guess more because I've had amazingly good relationships go sour. Also, not a spoiler or anything, the part where he's driving in the rain listening to Beck - Everybody's gotta learn sometime.
Crash:
When the persian guy shoots the little girl, when the good cop shoots the black kid, when the persian guy tells his daughter about what happened and how "the angel" saved him from himself.

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, from about the bird scene until the end of the movie.
I mean, fuck
YES. That movie is one of mine. Every time I watch it I'm absolutely amazed by it; it's like a jigsaw puzzle in the form of a seamless sphere, and every time I dismantle it I just get floored about how well all the elements, from the nonchronological parts of the story to the philosophical/spiritual themes to the cinematography, fit together.
Anyway, there are two parts that always stand out for me. First, towards the end of when Joel is locked inside his own mind:
Joel realizes that running from Lacuna any more is just futile, and he decides to just enjoy his last moments (and memories) together with Clementine. When they find peace among the dismantling, the unmaking of Joel's mind, I find that a deeply spiritual moment. It gets me every time.
And a little while later:
When real Joel and Clementine are listening to the Lacuna audio tapes; their dismay and confusion is so palpable you can practically feel their guts wrenching. They've gone from the giddy anticipation of a potential new relationship straight into the existential, Sisyphean horror that they may have repeated history once - or an uncountable number of times - before. Their worlds are being turned absolutely upside-down. It's like looking into a moment of Buddhist hell.

every person who doesn't like an acquired taste always seems to think everyone who likes it is faking it. it should be an official fallacy.
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind --- I guess more because I've had amazingly good relationships go sour.
I've gotten into relationships knowing that they would go sour, so the part at the end that goes:
Joel: I don't see anything I don't like about you.
Clementine: But you will! But you will, and I'll get bored with you and feel trapped, because that's what happens with me!
Joel (shrugging): Okay.
...resonates with me, too.
Because I've had that moment, where I looked at a person and thought, "Shit, I know exactly how this relationship is going to go, I know exactly how the breakup is going to happen, and it's gonna be ugly. But fuck it, I have do to this if I'm going to grow. It's a chapter of my life I have to finish, I can't just edit it out because I don't like how it ends."

I'm not entirely sure why, but Spirited Away makes me get a little teary when
Sen remembers Haku's real name.
I weep openly at that part, but I think I have more compelling reasons to than you. That sequence does have just so much magic though -- innocent love, the magic of something we all have, the relevance of the past to the present ... there's a whole lot of triggers there for people to latch onto. I think that most people could find an emotional anchor in that scene.
The name stuff in that film really does get to me. I have a name, too! It belongs to me. It's mine.
The Pursuit of Happyness and Crash are the two worst movies to have been posted here. The only thing that I could understand anyone crying over from those movies is the sheer torture of having to watch them again.
My cheesy picks are The Cure, Chinatown, My Left Foot, and The Cider House Rules.
Yes to both of these. I won't watch the episode with Fry's dog. That's just too fucking sad.

When he's sailing across the ocean and the forces of nature are beating down on him and he raises the sails in the face of adversity and struggles through. Gets me every time.
Agreed. Actually, the scene right after, when
the boat hits the "wall" just as he's starting to actually believe he's going to succeed and escape. As he slowly reaches for, and actually touches, this final barrier, you can see in his posture all of his hope disintegrate into frustration and despair. When he loses it and smacks it over and over, eventually slumping down in tears... Jesus.

I used to tell people that the scene in Dead Poets Society where Neil puts on his Puck-crown for the last time
and shoots himself
made me cry, but it never did. I just wanted people to think I'm not some emotionless robot. Does that make me bad?

Oh good, nobody took mine.
Two scenes in Field of Dreams:
When the doctor leaves the field to take care of the little girl. It actually didn't hit me that hard the first time I saw it, but every time I see it afterward, the tears just flow. I'm always like "no, don't do it, she's just choking get them to do the heimlich or something!" but he always leaves the field and baseball behind him. I guess what makes it so sad for me is that he wasn't able to do what he loved (baseball), but he devoted his whole life to helping other people. And finally, at the end of his life, he got to play baseball with the best, and it turned out he was pretty decent. And then, when faced with the choice of helping someone or sticking around and doing what he loves, he barely even hesitates to help someone, just the way he's always lived his life. Jesus, I tear up just thinking about it.
The second one is at the end when his dad stays behind on the field, and they play catch.

for some reason the last 3 times I saw Little Giants (I watch it when it's on cause I grew up with it) I cried at the end when the water tower changes to "the O'Shea Brothers".

When Gretchen shows up at donnie's door teary eyed. When she says: "Some people are born with tragedy in their blood", and when they walk down the stairs matching steps.
Also, I recently saw 1984:
At the end, when Winston is at the height of being tortured and he yells out: "Do it to Julia!" OH man, its like Id been shot.
One of the first sci-fi films I ever saw and also the first time I can really remember crying- hell, bawling- because of a movie.
Oh Jesus Christ yes. I saw that when I was really young - must have been in the 70s. I didn't even know what it was, but I incorporated it into my internal dreamtime until years later when video happened and I saw it again.
I feel very strange for bringing up two black and white movies but i'd have to say...
The Elephant Man
EVERYTHING. I mean it's based on a true story. . . and it may be the most depressing story of all time.
Casablanca
Maybe not a complete in tears moment but the film was heart wrenching. There was so much hope and then everything just gets fucked.
The Rules of Attraction (The Book or the movie)
Basically everything from the suicide onward is just absolutely gripping. It helps that the score is fantastic. If I even begin to hear a hint of the theme played during that scene I spiral into deep melancholy. Fantastic and painfully realistic film.

oh god
Hell yes to the first one. That's always gotten to me.
This is kinda silly, but in The Incredibles:
tends to put me close to tears.
Hell, I only just realized how similar those two are. I wonder why that idea resonates with me so well.
Limed for fucking truth.

Did you just see it? Matthew Lillard's best movie.
Damn you! Damn you! Damn *sniff* you... I'd almost forgotten about that. Saw it in a re-run and it hit me hard.
Fry's Brother too.
the "no true scotch man" fallacy.
Third or fourth time. Always gets me.
And I agree.
I love the comedy gold in the first half, but...
The name stuff in that film really does get to me. I have a name, too! It belongs to me. It's mine.
Totally agree. I saw the Brother episode with my little brother and we both were teary at the end.
Where can I get it online?

Your taste in movies is horrid, and you have no right to feel emotion about them.
Wasn't that fun?

The ending (no spoilers) makes me sob. Not just cry. Noises, snot, little hoots of air.

Sad in a good way. Heartwarming things make one cry as well!
Also, I recently saw 1984:
Though, I got sad at the end of The Lord of the Rings.
Nothing, nothing beats the Futurama episodes, though.
