I forgot about the ending of Planes, Trains and Automobile......just the look on John Candy's face at the end :cry yeah that part kinda gets me....
 
I was reading this list the other day, and just the memories of the scenes everyone is posting was getting me all welled up, lol. I had to stop reading.
But then again, I'n an old softy. A bit too sympathetic/empathetic for my own good.

Even though it's probably considered a "chick flick", Beaches with Bette Middler and Barbara Hershey is an emotional ride.
 
I can remember crying to ET when they find him in the river.
For a few minutes ago i saw the last Harry Potter movie... The Snape memory scene made me cry behind my 3D glasses. I did feel the same when i read it in the book, it was so sad... Snape and lily... He loved her with all his heart even if she was someone elses.


When i left the cinema some bloke was talking to his girlfriend about the movie...Guy: "So Snape was Harry's FATHER!"....girlfriend : "Yeah"

GOD!..I wanted to stop them and tell them NO, He is not his father. He loved lily and he did what he did because he loved her...
 
Last time I cried during a movie was at the end of The curious case of Benjamin Button. Here I am, the only guy watching it in a roomful of girls and the only 1 sobbing.
 
I am a dog lover so:

My Dog Skip - To this day I have only watched it once because of how much I bawled when the dog watches the boy go off to college and then dies on his bed.

Same thing with Marley and Me

And I saw it posted earlier, but I agree, I don't know why but I tear up when I hear Kermit sing Rainbow Connection.
 
Through almost the entire Captain America movie last night. I even bawled like a baby during one particular scene near the end. Mostly joy though not sadness except for one scene. Captain America The Greatest Story Ever Told.
 
Up was on the TV the other night when I was getting ready for work, and that blasted thing about made me cry again.
 
The movie that gets me everytime -

Somewhere in Time


On the TV-

The passing of Jonathan Kent in Smallville. My own father had passed just a few months before this aired and it hit me really hard.
 
the end of...
Iron gaint
Dances with wolves
Superman 1 (Lois dies)
Up
Battlestar daybreak pt 2
Generations (after Picard buries Kirk great music)
Wrath of Khan
 
I probably missed a few posts in this but I was surprised I didnt see it pop up enough. I watched it somewhat late I guess, and yes you can tell how sad its going to be sooooo early in, but it was still pretty brutal to me

also to add another, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind is still a movie I refuse to watch with other people present. lol

Watched Sunset Boulevard in an open-air theatre last night. At the very end when Gloria Swanson comes down the stairs and looks into the camera during her last speech, I fought tears, but more I think because the moment was the culmination of a work of such perfect craftsmanship.... I was getting emotional over that, the overwhelming brilliance of the film, the knockout blow of that brilliance coming with its final moment, this wild look of Swanson into the camera.

For about a decade I've kind of neglected the old classics, and now that I'm revisiting them, I find myself so taken aback by their intelligence and beauty, by the wit and eloquence of the scripts in comparison to current movie fare, that when the credits roll I'm often battling tears...
 
Huo Yuan Jia (Fearless). The Director's Cut of the movie gets me every time.

Also the Heart and No Rest for the Wicked episodes of Supernatural.
