Kind of obscure, but I teared up at the end of Bridge to Terabithia (the 1985 version, though I haven't seen the 2007 one). Reading the book in school as a kid, I was just stunned by the ending, and the movie just made it all the sadder. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0088853/
And I have to give another +1 to Grave of the Fireflies. It was kind of happy early on, but then it just went straight downhill. I was in tears at that last line, followed by the credits roll.

That was awesome. It didn't make me sad, to me it was an epic testament of the triumph of life and light in the abyss.

Really, any Dog movies I don't like watching. The Dog always dies at the end, and it is Always upsetting.
That's why you avoid movies about dogs any way you can. Manipulative sunzabitches.
Agreed there.

If you've ever seen the movie 'powder' you'll know what i mean! only movie that made me feel like exploding with sadness and rage and made me feel physically sick with emotion for the poor guy, some people are cruel and some movies are sad, this movie has both.

It was an incredibly honest portrayal of a decent guy who has made some poor choices and longs for the glory of his youth.
I thought the entire movie was beautiful, and really made me sad. Not "Oh, the poor dog is dying" crying sad, but more of a "Life is unfairly tough sometimes" depressed sad.

Oh yea! That was a pretty good movie, talk about bringing back sad memories.....................
And on a soppy note the end of the Incredible Journey (the original) where the old bulldog finally makes it. I don't know why as I much preferred the other pets in it but it puts a lump in my throat every time

I read the book before watching the movie, and the book is way better. Not saying the movie is bad, but the book really moved me.
I also agree with Schindler's List, but my saddest part was probably when he was breaking down on the way to his car. Just counting of stuff that he had "this pin, it could have bought and saved 5 more people...", the stones were a powerful part though.
The Boy in the Striped PJs was very powerful.
Ladder 49, but maybe just because I used to be a volunteer firefighter.
And I will just throw The Lion King out there, a movie that I will freely agree still made me cry as 30 year old man. You know what I am talking about, poor Simba crawling underneath his dead fathers paw, telling him to wake up.
Tears of the Sun. Extremely sad to see a bunch of Navy Seals die trying to fight off insurgents. Kinda don't like seeing American Soldiers die like that :( http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0314353/
Black Hawk Down- Really sad, why hasn't it been mentioned?
Bambi
Million Dollar Baby
Yeah the notebook drove me to tears. If only a girl had seen that. Sad face :(
Gallipoli-Sad but powerful message :(. And really sad how the ANZACs died. thought it was just a hollywood increase to hate the brits even more.
The Truman Show- Great ending.
Moulin Rouge!- Weird.

Knew there had to be one that I missed.
Anyone that didn't cry at that must be a heartless bastard.
Or just not emotionally affected by it.

I cried and I am psychologically conditioned for it.

The Lives of Others: Saw it in a college-organised History trip (to an extent, it was also an excuse to avoid Geography). Very, very moving, especially if you're interested in this period of history, Cold War relations, the USSR, etc. Also, personal touch I know, but the guy with the headphones on the cover looks a spitting image of my Geography teacher, and I mean it's quite spooky how alike they look.
Would definitely recommend it, while it's English subtitled, it's still a very dramatic and touching film.
.. right near the end... you think they might, just pull it off and then... well.... gunpowder and firearms generally do win out.
The poor man really has a stake in the country. The rich man hasn't; he can go away to New Guinea in a yacht. The poor have sometimes objected to being governed badly; the rich have always objected to being governed at all
We love our superheroes because they refuse to give up on us. We can analyze them out of existence, kill them, ban them, mock them, and still they return, patiently reminding us of who we are and what we wish we could be.

Don't cry at movies, but the end of Field of Dreams always gets me a little. It's not technically a "sad movie," but I'm surprised no one's mentioned that one.
Also surprised no one (that I've seen) mentioned Blackhawk Down. The last few minutes of that movie -- from Hartnett with his buddy in the hanger to the voiceover letter being read -- are really tough.

I really need to see that one. As an F1 fan (Not for long. Thanks BBC you scumbags), I think it's fair I should watch it.
As for me... Toy Story 3 and the end of Wall-E. I try avoiding dog-inclusive films since they're emotional rollercoasters, but otherwise I don't watch sad films.
