I love movies. I mean I really, really love movies. Some of them overwhelm me at times and it is impossible to keep from getting emotional.
there are 2 movies I can't watch without crying.
Wm Wyler's "Best Years of Our Lives" with the scene of the sailor returning home. I can't stop the tears. Just thinking of it can make the eyes water.
Charlie Chaplin's "City Lights" when the flowergirl realizes the tramp is the one who was responsible for her sight being restored. I always cry, no matter how hard I try to remain tough, I melt.
One movie that a normal kid has to cry over is "Old Yeller". I feel any kid that can watch that and not cry is destined to become a future serial killer.

The last movie that made me cry was Hannibal. I couldn't believe how much we paid to watch that bullsit.

Who doesn't snuffle at the end of Blade Runner when Roy says "lost to time like tears in the rain." Boo Hoo!!!!
Or
When Bambi loses his mom!!! SOB!
or
Betty Davis and Paul Henreid in "Now Voyager."
"Oh, Jerry, don't let's ask for the moon. We have the stars."
Waaaaaahhhhhhhhhh!!!! 
or
Any scene with Gene Tierney in "Leave Her to Heaven"
WHY?
Because JOAN CRAWFORD STOLE the Oscar from this goddess!!!!!!
or
The end of "Das Boot" when they are killed after surviving the terror of narrowly escaping death. Give me another tissue!!
or
King Vidor's "The Crowd" when John is about to commit suicide, after losing his baby, his job, his hope...
I'm drowning here!!!!!!!
ps...you have to be as heartless as Leon in Blade Runner not to cry over your mom!!!
("Let me tell you about my mother"...)
Oh yes...Old Yeller...rabid or not!!! Don't shoot the puppy!!!!!

"All the President's Men"
So touching, especially at the end when that Republican creep was forced to resign.

Old Yeller, Brian's Song, Beaches. But, then again I am like Kazanne I will cry at the news and those darn Hallmark commercials. The Kleenex "Bless You" can make me tear up too.

I can't watch Old Yeller, I start at the beginning and cry all the way through.
Steel Magnolias too, the cemetary scene gets me every time.

How about "13th Warrior" when Bolvoy is dying and drags himself out to the battle and starts to recite the funeral rite, or "Purple Hearts" when Jardien and Solomon meet accidently at the VA Hospital and discover that neither had been killed in Viet Nam like they had been told, or "West Side Story" when Tony has been shot and he and Maria sing "A Place For Us", he dies and she grabs the gun and asks "how many shots are left, Chino? How many shots are left... so I still have one left for me?"

Sharkbaby: You're oh so right! The first movie I cried at was West Side Story. It was my first experience with a sad movie and to this day the song "Somewhere" makes me tear up. Then Love Story came along - oh my gosh! I sat in the car at the drive-in with my boyfriend and I just sobbed. What about Brian's Song. And Steel Magnolias!
I just watched a re-run of Murphy Brown where she delivered Avery. It was one of the funniest episodes ever, along with the one where she found out she was pregnant and had to tell Miles. Anyway, at the end of the show, Frank films a few moments on video for Murphy while she is holding Avery in her arms, and she starts to sing "And when my soul was in the lost and found, you came along to claim it". She then proceeds to sing Aretha Franklin's "Natural Woman" to the baby. I just absolutely lost it. And I've seen it 10 times at least!
We're all such saps, aren't we?

"Glory"
Even hearing the theme music makes me weep.
The last movie I watched that still had me crying as the credits were rolling was "Wit" on HBO with Emma Thompson.
If you get HBO, don't miss it. Best thing I've seen on TV in years.

"Field of Dreams"...the scene with Costner playin catch with his Dad...what I would give!!!!!
Not a movie, but still (and I have seen it at LEAST 20 times)....The M*A*S*H episode when Henry is killed...I cried for the first 10 times I saw it, and after 20 years, I still sniffle, even though I know from the start what will happen.

I never cried at a movie. I think I am too aware that it is a movie. I cry at real life.

Keith: I'm with you on that M*A*S*H episode. I can still see the look on Radar's face when he walks into the operating room. I had heard that none of the cast knew what was going to happen in that final scene because the produces wanted that "gut reaction" from the actors. That was a heart wrencher.

I thought of two more: The last episode of The Mary Tyler Moore Show. And the episode of All in the Family where Gloria and Mike moved to California. Weepers!

The Highlander, when his wife dies and he carries her to her funeral pyre. Also, in Conan the Barbarian, where Conan's girlfriend dies and is burning on the funeral pyre while Conan looks on and his warrior friend is asked by the shaman,"Why do YOU cry?" and the warrior replies,"Conan is a Cimmerian - they do not cry, so I cry for him!" And in The 13th Warrior, where the old kng has died and is on his boat, which is his funeral pyre, and his beautiful wife happily joins him in the flames. Or, Braveheart, where his wife to be receives the thistle that he had saved since childhood and suddenly realizes what it is.

Keith: I also cried at that episode of M*A*S*H. I read an article a few years back about M*A*S*H in general. When they did that episode, the cast had no idea that Henry was going to die. The director stated he did it on purpose. He wanted to make sure that he got the reaction he wanted. He said that if they had rehearsed it, he felt he wouldn't get the reaction that he wanted. So, when Radar came in an announced the helicopter crash it was the first time that he and the rest of the cast had heard the lines.

Keith & Muriel - Oh yeah! Not only was MASH one of the best shows EVER on television, but that episode was one of the best and monumentally sad! Ah, memories of MASH! I still have the tv guide issue of the last episode and the People magazine from that week.
