Favorite tear-jerkers

What's your favorite films that either made you cry, or at the least, gave you a fierce lump in back of your throat as you fought it back. :)
Describe the scene(s) as well.

Mine (not in any particular order):

- Forrest Gump (scene when he misses Jenny, and scene when he meets his son)

- Kolya (when Kolya cries for his grandma)

- Sweet Hereafter (slow-motion scene when the school bus plunges thru the ice, as a father of a couple of the kids looks on in horror)

- Gladiator (the ending, when he goes to Erithia to meet his wife and son)

- 21 Grams (when the mother loses it while holding her daughter's shoes)

- I am Sam (a few good scenes throughout)

Untamed Heart - (marisa tomei & christian slater)
When Christian character dies

Pearl Harbor - When Josh Harnett's character dies and Ben Affleck is holding him

Hmmm, for me two movies both starring 'Tom Hanks' gave huge emtional jerks:

Cast Away: Basically all his scene's when he is left alone in the island, and specially when he looses his friend "Watson" on the way to his rescue in the sea.

The Terminal: When he reads the news of his country under attack, and can barely make out what is going out, enclosed in the huge airport, having known nothing.

Both these movies were kinda tear jerkers for me :)

All I can think of is Big Fish. The ending always makes me smile and feel a little teary-eyed, but generally I'm not one to cry at movies.

Old yeller
my neighbor totoro

Old Yeller for sure!
Haven't seen it in years, but it always made me cry.

Can't think of any others at the moment:)
This week's episode of Supernatural made me cry:)

Passion of The Christ - Lots of times during that movie
End of the Spear - At the end when Steve Saint has Mincayani spear
Grave of the Fireflies - At the end, both for sadness and happiness

Sicko

a bunch of times throughout, actually. it's friggin' hard to watch someone talk about how they lost a child or a spouse...

Cruel Intentions: Every single time that Bitter Sweet Symphony starts playing at the end.

Another one - Mystic River. that one really hits the spot when the dad finds out his daughter has been murdered.

I NEVER cry! And yet, one movie always gets me close: Deep Impact.

yeah, Deep Impact had some good moments. I loved that film so much more than that Hollywood flubber 'Armageddon'. The scene where the astronaut talks to his wife 'n' child via live conference call, just before they decide to sacrifice themselves to save the world, that usually gets me.

I loved Elephants on Parade. Made me want to try that 'alcohol' to see if i'd have as much fun as dumbo. lol

I've never actually cried during a movie (yet), but I've gotten close on a few...

The whole last act of Million Dollar Baby got to me pretty good.

The end of Limelight was touching, and Chaplin was always a pretty masterfully manipulative melodramatic filmmaker (see City Lights, Modern Times, The Kid, etc).

Speaking of melodrama, William Wyler's version of Wuthering Heights is chock full of heart wrenching moments thanks to the brilliant performance of Lawrence Olivier. It's a crime that this movie isn't available on DVD here in the US.

Carlito's Way managed to surprise me even though the ending is revealed literally at the beginning of the film. Pacino's closing monologue, the slow-mo first-person camera, everything about that final scence is really wonderful.

And, of course, there's Dancer in the Dark. Even though I thought it was brilliant, it took me a few years before I was willing to watch it a second time because it was so darned depressing.

may day may day

I've been meaning to see Dancer in the Dark, but kept away for that same reason.

um, yeah, just finished watching 'Reign over me'

haha, never knew I'd be trying to control the floodworks during an Adam Sandler performance, but damn... beautiful film. I'll review it shortly.

Sense and Sensibility when Elinor rages at Marianne saying "What do you know of my heart? What do you know of anything but your own suffering...." - gets me every single time.

And also The Joy Luck Club. I can hold back the tears but at the end, I can't help but bawl.

Born Free. Seen it tons of times and always cry at the end.

Also, Mandy Moore's A Walk to Remember. That movie was just ridiculously full of sad moments.

voxy, the movie is hard to watch, but oddly enough still has lots of cute and funny moments. but when he first opens up and starts talking about what he misses about is wife and each of his 3 daughters, man, it was tough to hold back.

great movie, and i'm impressed that Sandler pulled off such an emotional and hard role.

I cry often during movies but the ones that came to mind right away were Finding Neverland, Everything Is Illuminated, Garden State and The Man Who Cried

@ Munky: Completely forgot about A Walk To Remember.

Oh and another Nicholas Spark's adaptation: Message In A Bottle.

The end of Finding Nemo gets me going oh and Neverending Story when Atreyu loses his horse Artax.

I know there's more but I can't think of them.

The Green Mile ..... I blub like a baby at the John Coffey execution scene.

Bambi ??

Lake House: When they finally meet...

Ok here are a couple blasts from the past that got me when I watched them, Brian's Song and Love Story.

Il mare - korean Movie

T2? which part? It's been a while since I've seen it, but I don't remember any scenes that might choke me up.

I cry very easily! I'm not kidding. I even cried once when I was watching Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, when Charlie got the golden ticket.

Sad moments in movies drain my tear supply. ;_;

there are only a handful of movies that made me cry - Lost & Delirious, A Walk to Remember and Phantom of the Opera - never fail to 'jerk the tears' no matter how many times i watch them... :D

Air Bud - when the boy is telling his dog to run away. :( gets me everytime.

Moulin Rouge - When Satine dies in Christians arms.

The Notebook - When she remembers then forgets him when their dancing.

Step Up - When Skinny gets shot.

theres other movies but ive forgotten.

Another one popped into my brain pan. Field of Dreams when Costner gets to play ball with his dad. Love it!

this is gonna sound werd but mine is i am legend like when he kills the dog

in i am legend it makes me tear when he is all alone and i go with you ghostbuster164.

T2:Judgement Day
DreamCatcher

T2 just at the very end when Arnold slowly desends into the fire...with his thumb up like it feels great like a warm bath.
DreamCatcher b/c of Duttis. The character knew that what he did would cost him his life and was not unnerved about it at all.
Maybe I am just a big softee really.

Downfall
I cried a few times during this film. It was very powerful and very tragic.

The Elephant Man
I cried constantly. I got goose-bumps whenever John Merrick said something. It's a tragic but brilliant movie.

Deep Impact It doesn't matter how many times I see it, and how cheesy it is.

Finding Neverland I sobbed throughout and was left with a sense of loss for days afterwards.
