Yeah,that got to me to and so did the end of "Marley and Me" (Girlfriend rental).
I seem to have a real soft spot for dogs,and when somthing happens to them in films it gets to me,hell I bawled my head off when I saw "Old yeller" as a child.

I waited for you Fry.
Also the episode where he gets mad at his brother who had his 5 leaf clover is another example of Futurama sliding some real emotional gut wrenching into the comedy.
Schindler's List - Most of the movie doesn't get to me but it is the very end when all the real people (and their descendants) are going past the real grave putting stones on it.
But the Boy in the Striped Pyjamas just absolutely gutted me. I haven't felt so sad since my dog had to be put down because of arthritis. When the two little boys wandered into the gas chambers in the Nazi prison camp, I was already thinking 'no, no, no, the writers can't do that!'
When it happened, it was like someone had punched me in the stomach and my eyes were already watering. On the drive back home I broke down thinking about both the film and what it would have really been like.
Ah if you like dogs , here is some more ( get a towel , tissue wont be enough )
eclecticderby (1 day ago) Show Hide
i dun know... the second part really made me cried... the part... "i hid ur shoes becos they were treasures to me..." WOW.
This is anime , but Ghost in the Shell and its movie is accepted i think to be none weabo:
Tachikoma's suicide song. ( Spider Tanks )
The Last Samurai, once those Gatling Guns start firing I start to tear up.
Also, the end of Last of The Mohicans and when the German Officer is giving the speech to the broken and battered German soldiers in Band of Brothers. Well, pretty much any time the Vets are talking in Band of Brothers.

I didn't think Hero was sad at all. Maybe that's just me. Minus the whole part where she kills her lover by accident. That was a little bit sad.
Anyway, I don't think I've gone past tearing up a bit in a movie. But when I saw Up with my girlfriend, I felt like half the time I was actively avoiding tears.
Well it was a long time ago, teenage hormones etc etc, but there's some crappy old Cher movie about some kid with a deformed head that got me.
Oh, and some old De Niro movie where he plays an ex slaver who kills his brother in a duel, repents and becomes a catholic priest and goes to South America. Then he winds up helping tehm try to fight bcak against the encroaching Europeans.
Totally spaced the names of both of them, got a real urge to see that De Niro mfilm again now though, might be rose tinted glasses but it was really good if I recall correctly.

Mask with Eric Stoltz. Sam Elliot was in it as well i believe.

The Mission
Also had Jeremy Irons in it.
The part in Forest Gump where he talking over Jenny's grave and telling her about their son and how he miss's her is a very emotional scene, though I never cried but I feel your pain.
I think I actually teared up at the scene in Royal Tennebaums near the end when Ben Stiller's character finally breaks down and opens up and tells his father that "he's had a really bad year". I suppose it is the father/son angle.
My mom said I cried when Darth Vader died in Return of the Jedi. Even at that tender age I knew who the real good guys were.
I started balling several times in the movie UP. The montage in the first 15 minutes just killed me and at the end when he finds his wifes picturebook just sent my hands into my face for a second time.
I only get teary to music like this, most movies do not really move me unless they are documentaries, tears are precious things better left to advertising to take advantage of... what???
FEEL EMOTIONAL DAMMIT!!!
I demand by the powers bestowed unto I and me and... me, that all power is mine by right, and your emotions are mine to toy with... saideth the "God of perpetual ridiculousness and other things along those lines" unto you who sayeth the thing that be what I... oh whatever then.
I teared up at the intro to DOW for some reason? It's just the sheer determination of the marines. Also, I teared up at LOTR when Frodo realises he can never truly return to the shire again and is forever tainted... Just that feeling of endless subtle pain gets me.
Marley and Me. If you can't cry at some point during that movie you have no soul.
The first time I saw Dumb & Dumber I cried. It was at the part where they just found out that Petey's head "fell off" and Lloyd does his little Aspen monologue.

My dad and I love that movie. I never cried, but I can't remember smiling so much. Great story and characters.

Have not seen the Shawshank redemption, but Forrest Gump makes me cry when Bubba dies.
For those not aware of this fantastic little Gem, it's set in a world where Humanity, to all intents and purposes, is extinct. We've stopped having Babies, and nobody knows why. Women all over the word miscarried, and now just don't get pregnant.
The plot centres around something of a miracle. A pregnant girl. Only trouble is, she's an illegal immigrant in Britain (which has devolved into a totalitarian state) and they need to get her out.
She eventually gives birth in the middle of a literal Warzone, hiding in a building being shelled by Tanks. The reaction of the various denziens (soldiers, terrorists, freedom fighters, innocents) to the bawling of a baby, something no human has heard for over 20 years is beautifully shot. The fighting stops, soliders and their enemies ceasing fire and making way. The hero and her make it out, and about 30 yards down the street, and the fight kicks off again.
Totally totally totally see this film. You will not regret it.
I'm going to throw in the towel and admit to this.
The ending of Star Wars Episode III made me all teary. In the scene where Darth Vader awakens as a cyborg and realises that he killed his wife, the thought of how horrible it would be sent me over the edge.
Automatically Appended Next Post: Oh, and I can't forget two parts of Lord of the Rings.
1. When Frodo and Sam are trapped on Mount Doom and think that they'll never get home, I was sniffling.
2. When Frodo had to leave the Shire and go to the Grey Havens, I broke down. Truly a touching moment.

The tragedy isn't that Winter Snow killed Broken Sword by accident, it is that he lets her kill him to show her how dedicated he was. He loved her so much that if he could not share the dream with her, he would rather die.
At the end of Iron Giant, the nuke is launched and is going to land on the town. The sirens are going off, and the townsfolk and soldiers realize they won't be able to make it, so the panic gives way to subdued resignation. The boy explains things to the giant, and the giant looks at the contrail of the missile arcing out of the atmosphere. The giant looks at the boy and says "I go, you stay", gently nudging the boy back.
He launches up and fires his rockets, streaking up through through the sky. As he leaves the atmosphere and the missile reaches it's apogee, he remembers the boy in voiceover, "You can choose who you want to be". As the giant aims himself at the missile he says "I'm superman..." and squeezes his eyes shut just before impact.
Ah, the Iron Giant. I haven't seen that movie for years. I can't believe that it wasn't a box office success when it was so well-recieved by critics and viewers.

Star Wars Episode 1(I cried when I realized the franchise was dead)
Return of the Jedi (its sad when ewoks die)
Im sure there are more, just cant think of them at the moment.
The last one to make me cry a bit was...don't laugh....Return of the Sith. When Anakin went to the dark side and force choked Padme'. It was the total fall to the dark side that choked me up.
I tend to get choked when I see Scrooges redemption in "The Christmas Carol" the original black in white one is the best by the way.
Dumb and Dumber made me laugh so hard I cried. The scene in the bar where Jim carry was wearing the pink tux and sticking is rear out to try and impress that lady was classic.
Well aparently im heartless. I cant recall a single movie that made me cry, ive seen half of Shindlers list and knowing quite alot about the Holocaust, should have me teary, but i just feel dead inside in sad moments. I still havn't seen Marly and Me, but it made me very sad in Futurama episode mentioned before.
Couldnt cry for Titanic, or Shindlers list.
Independants Day was the nearest ive ever got to crying, just the man sacrificing himself for his Kids and stuff was sad.
Ghostbusters may me laugh until I cried, but I don't think that's what this thread is going for. I don't watch tearjerkers. The closest I've ever come was the episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer entitled "The Gift".
Thank you whoever posted Hero. That would be the closest I've come to crying in a movie.
Independance day was kinda sad. LoTR I just kept skipping the parts with frodo because the best Elijah Wood has ever been in a movie was in Sin City, where his whiny voice was not in evidence.
Semi related, some books that have nearly turned on the taps:
Servant of the Empire: Where Nacoya dies protecting Ayaki. Mistress of the Empire: Where Ayaki dies, and when Keyoke dies.
Lots of the Redwall books. The last Book of the Troy series by David Gemmel was REALLY sad.
Fortunately not. After talking about this with several girlfriends, (not serious, just friends who are girls), they all concur that boys shouldn't see that film.
But the Transformers Animated Movie when Optimus Prime dies, man that is a sad scene and to add insult to injury his corpse turns grey and you know thats it he's dead no more optimus

Shouldn't that be a cause for optimistic 'Huzzah'? I was crying with joy that bastard was dead.

sA
After reading about the plot on wiki, I can agree that men shouldn't ever see that film. Unless told they have to by their spouse, then you just imagine you're doing something else. So if you payed to much attention you would be at fault, though since the decision was made after the movie was seen, you get off with a warning.
I was munching popcorn and eagerly awaiting the moment when we got to see the awful main characters drown horribly in the cold arctic waters.
But alas, I was denied. feth you, common decency.
Oh, and has anyone else seen that modernised Romeo and Juliet? The one which is set in the present day, but everyone speaks like they did in Shakespeare's day and instead of swordfights they have shootouts?
Yeah. The ending sent me sobbing because in a big twist, Juliet wakes up just as Romeo drinks poison, so she sees him die with total despair and 'd'oh!' written in his eyes.
Then she blows her brains out with a magnum. Whee!

Sorry,the end of Titanic just agravated me,seems to me she could have made a little room for poor Leonardo on that door she was floating on.
And yes,the "reimagined" version of Romeo & Juliet was ok,for an attempt to expose clasics to the masses I suppose it worked,and Chris Rock was pretty funny.
More OT, Dances with wolves,though it's been mentioned,the scene were "Wind in his hair" is on top of the mountain yelling to Kevin Costner that he would always be his friend was suprisingly powerful to me.

One of the reasons I really love the show, and rate above Simpsons (although to be fair the maggie episode with the pics on the wall in Homers work gets me as well) but aye, I have to almost leave the room at the end of 'The Luck of the Fryrish' when Don't You (forget about me) kicks in. Gets me everytime.
As to movies.
If I'm honest probably too many to count these days, I've got really sentimental as I've aged, but some of these are ones that get me nearly every time...
Saving Private Ryan - 'Have I lead a good life' bit
Shawshank Redemption - Morgan Freeman's narrration at the end as he travels to Mexico.
Big Fish - when he lets his father go, and gets into the stories himself.
Band of Brothers - also for a fair few of the vet speaking moments, but the one that really gets me is Winters quoting from a letter from Mike Ranney in the last episode. (Can't wait for 'The Pacific')
Grave of the Fireflies is a nightmare to watch, especially the end.
Spiderwick Chronicles - When the daughter started walking with her father as a old woman, then turned back into a small child.
Watership Down - Several places, its a hard film to watch even now, my wife has banned the boys from watching it until they are at least eight.. hehe.
There are loads of others, but I can't pull them out of my head, although I rarely try to hide it now just let the tears flow, well, more so than when I was a young man anyways.
Any movie that includes a baby. That dies. And you see the sweet little baby die. Laughing, thinking everything will be OK. And then.. I'm crying as im writing.
OMG! How could I forget Watership Down! I cried SO much! (And was pretty freaked out when the survivor dude talked about how the rabbit warren was destroyed)
I haven't really cried over a movie since I was a kid.
But I gotta admit, last episode of Cowboy Bebop made me really really sad, but also gave me that feeling of fulfillment. The story was wrapped up. Good stuff.
.
, as did donnie darko (an amazing film)
