This had me in tears come the end, I felt as part of my soul died when the credits came up, for at lest an hour I was unable to say a thing with out my voice cracking.
So what is your sob worthy film, name it and add a link to the IMDB page.
And, good luck to any whom watch it for the first time.
Mandorallen turned back toward the insolently sneering baron. 'My Lord,' The great knight said distantly, 'I find thy face apelike and thy form misshapen. Thy beard, moreover, is an offence against decency, resembling more closely the scabrous fur which doth decorate the hinder portion of a mongrel dog than a proper adornment for a human face. Is it possibly that thy mother, seized by some wild lechery, did dally at some time past with a randy goat?' - Mimbrate Knight Protector Mandorallen.

The Elephant Man. Just watching all of those small-minded twits jeering at him even though they really knew nothing about him made me want to go back to Victorian England with a flamethrower and scorch the streets.
Grave of the Fireflies is a good call. It is a bit slow, but is extremely sad and moving.
I'm a bit of a weeper and really love a good drama, so leaking a tear or two at a moving film isn't a rare occurance for me. But the hardest I ever cried was at this:

This.
Also:
Schindler's List
The Diary of Anne Frank
Saving Pt. Ryan
Pan's Labyrinth

Funnily enough (probably quite a tactless start to a post considering the thread, but oh well), I didn't cry at Schindler's List, Saving Pvt. Ryan, or Pan's Labyrinth; they were sad, but not overly so to me.

Then I watched Chris Colfer Sing "I Wanna Hold Your Hand" over and
over again.
A part of me still hates Glee for that.
And a part of me still listens to Colfer sing.

I totally forgot about the Green Mile. I was fine through the whole movie until the very end when they showed that poor, decrepit 80 year old mouse. It looked like it was just begging for somebody to put it out of its misery.
Bicentennial Man...(cringe I know) also, AI, I can't even watch that film anymore. More recently, Marley and Me...and I've never even had a dog, but that made me want to punch the director even though you just knew it was coming.
Oh, and one of the last bit of Band of Brothers where Winters is being interviewed about his experiences and he described talking to his grandson in a letter and he's asked, 'we're you a hero?' and he replies, 'no son, but I served in the company of hero's...' His voice breaks just a tiny bit and it just gets me!

I have to say I have never cried so much in my entire life than after watching this film. And I am always the first one to call out for the children to die in horror films
Other than that, some that are guaranteed to draw a tear from my eye are Forest Gump and Saving Private Ryan.

Oh man, that was powerful.
I remember watching Brokeback Mountain, and there's a bit near the end when Heath Ledger goes to visit the parents of Jake Gyllenhal. Without a word being spoken directly about it you get the feel of this whole backstory, that she wouldn't have approved of her son's homosexuality, but he was her son and that meant unconditional love.
There was a scene in The Darjeeling Limited, where the brothers are walking along the side of a river and they see three Indian boys trying to cross the river on a flimsy raft. They do their best to save the boys, but the one Adrien Brody attempts to save is swept away and dies. All Brody can say is 'I couldn't save mine'. They attend the funeral, and Brody attempts to tell the family they he tried very hard to save the boy, and had him most of the way. They then continue on their journey. It's something Wes Anderson plays with in a lot of his movies, the way death and tragedy come out of nowhere, give us great grief for a time, before the narrative of our lives carry on.
“We may observe that the government in a civilized country is much more expensive than in a barbarous one; and when we say that one government is more expensive than another, it is the same as if we said that that one country is farther advanced in improvement than another. To say that the government is expensive and the people not oppressed is to say that the people are rich.”
