Well, I don't cry no matter how sad I get, but the end scene in On Her Majesty's Secret Service always gets to me, along with Vesper's death scene in Casino Royale, the Order 66 montage in Star Wars Episode III, and that's about it really.

Me too. Saving Private Ryan and The Last Samurai also made me teary-eyed.

Yeah, the D-Day scene in Saving Private Ryan brought a tear to my eyes, but that was some 4 years ago. I haven't seen a movie that has made me cry since, though. No new movie is even worth crying about, if you ask me.

The part where Aragorn and all the humans bow to Frodo and the other hobbits is particularly heartwarming. As is the ending of Big Fish. They just make me smile a lot and sometimes my eyes well up. :)

Wow, ditto. I won't lie though, I sob like a little girl at the end of Big Fish.

Old movies:

Brian's Song, Sunshine (not the new one)

Pretty much any 'main-character-dies-of-cancer' movie

 

Newer (in my lexicon) movies:

Schindler's List

Dead Poets Society

ET (when he says goodbye to Elliot)

RotS where Anakin slays the younglings, Order 66, and Padme's funeral procession

Top Gun when Goose dies

RotJ when Yoda dies

Pretty much any movie where a major good character dies

Watching some births

Forrest Gump

Yeah, I remember tears welling up in my eyes when I watched King Mufasa's death in the Lion King when I was about 5-6 years old. One of my most closely guarded secrets.

I suppose I have a heart of stone... Not yet seen any movies sad enough to make me sniffle. :/

The death of the person who was the co-conspirator in those vomit-inducing Episode II & III romance scenes made you cry? Made me cheer, really. :D

Napoleon Dynamite made me cry......not because it was sad, but because I realized that I had waisted over an hour of my life that I couldn't get back.

 

Quoted for total, utter truth. :3

Lots of movies:/ Memorable ones being:

Life is Beautiful, when the boy is hiding in the cupboard and his father is shot:'''(

Taegukgi, a Korean war movie, at the climax which I shall not spoil

Moulin Rouge, when Christian throws the money at Satine

The Fellowship of the Ring, when Boromir dies

Blood Diamond, again at the climax;p Damn these Hollywood people, tugging at my heartstrings!

Babel, when the nanny is sent back to Mexico:(

Well Im tough as nails, so have never cried in a movie or anywhere else.. :D:p

 

However, I was a bit emotional at age 9 at the end of ROTJ, because as far as I knew...that was the end of star wars forever !! Im lucky I ended up being wrong.. I cant wait for the TV series(animated and live action)...

Big Fish for obvious reasons.

The Shawshank Redemption, just an amazing movie.

The Crow, emotions run high and revenge is sweet, still sad at parts though.

End of the Century, the part about Joey Ramone's death.

Most of the sad stuff in Star Wars, except Gungans dying and Padme...

Hmm... I don't believe I've ever cried in a film but I have been on the verge of tears.

 

The Empire Strikes Back - Han Solo getting frozen in carbonite

ET - The whole thing is just depressing

The Lion King - Mufasa's death... still upsets me to this day

The bicycle thief - Oh my... I think I'll need a box of tissues if I ever try to watch that again

 

There are others but I can't really think of them.

 

Though I don't seem to cry, I do have a rather interesting tendency to become attached to characters and so one of my particular pet peeves is when they kill someone's character (and said character hasn't had any development beyond saying the word "hello") and we're expected to be in tears about it.

 

Actually: the most emotional thing I've ever seen is the end of Planescape: Torment. But that's not a film.

I don't know why, but I well up when Yoda lifts the x-wing out of the swamp and gives the sermon about the force in ESB, could be the music mixed with reminiscence? I suppose its the same as when people cry in church, there not sad, it just has an effect on them.

I think I cried when I was younger when Mufasa died at the hands of Scar in the Lion King :xp: sad movie.

 

And I have to admit my eyes were a little watery when I saw the Return of the King ending the first time. :p

Same here. Never cried in a movie before, but that got to me. Order 66, death of Mufasa and death of Bambi's mother all made me almost burst into tears.
