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
When you give total control to a computer, it’s only a matter of time before it pulls a Skynet on you and you’re running for your life.

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!
People are like dice, a certain Frenchman said that. You throw yourself in the direction of your own choosing. People are free because they can do that. Everyone's circumstances are different, but no matter how small the choice, at the very least, you can throw yourself. It's not chance or fate. It's the choice you made.

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.
I am both selfish and chaotic. I value self-gratification and control; I want to have things my way, preferably now. At best, I'm entertaining and surprising; at worst, I'm hedonistic and violent.

Go watch Road to Perdition.
And so, due to rising costs of maintaining the Golden Throne, the Emperor's finest accountants spoke to the Demigurg. A deal was forged in blood and extensive paperwork for a sub-prime mortgage with a 5/1 ARM on the Imperial Palace. And lo, in the following years the housing market did tumble and the rate skyrocketed leaving the Emperor's coffers bare. A dark time has begun for the Imperium, the tithes can not keep up with the balloon payments and the Imperial Palace and its contents, including the Golden Throne, have fallen into foreclosure. With an impending auction on the horizon mankind holds its breath as it waits to see who will gain possession of the corpse-god and thus, the fate of humanity......
, as did donnie darko (an amazing film)
-to many points to bother to count.
