At the end of “Dead Poets Society” when Robin Williams gets fired, and all the students get up on their desks and say “oh captain, my captain” or something.
I cried like a bitch.
Brokeback Mountain during the brutal gay sex scene. I was cringing and closing my eyes so hard that a tear squeezed out.
Brother Bear: When the living is reunited with the dead to say good-bye
The Fly II: When he finds out his mutant dog is still alive and he puts it out of his misery.
Highlander: When Mccleod stays with his wife until she dies of old age.(The Queen music during just adds to it)
This certainly isn’t the thread to read if one wants to avoid spoilers!
I’m a girl, and I’ve only ever cried at five movies. Yes, I’m cold-hearted. 
Dead Poets’ Society
Schindler’s List
Mr. Holland’s Opus
Spider-Man 2
Lord of the Rings: Return of the King
King Kong. When hes about to get chloroformed by Jack Black. Even though I intellectually knew he would live, the scene was so credible that I actually thought Theyre gonna do him. nevertheless. That big guy gets to you after a while. Same thing in Ice Age when the sabertooth tiger looks dead. Damn CGI… almost better than the real thing.

Well, actually I’ve gotten it a few times.
Let’s see, Armageddon where her pops does’nt come back.
When I was a kid in Ireland I used to watch the land before time and when the mother died I cried, I remember this because it was just me and my mother in the house as I was off school sick. She came in and I hid it, I think I did’nt want to tell her the scene is all because she would’ve cried and it would’ve been worse…
In Braveheart where he’s gettin tortured and he screams freedom I have never been so overcome with emotion in a movie in my life I remembered fuckin shaking and just my eyes swelling. This got me because being Irish and far enough back having a bit of scottish in me I know my ancestry was involved in those types of things. The British have been fuckin with us for so long it’s ridiculous. In fact the Irish were kept as slaves along with blacks by the english. This is like an unspoken known by most irish, thats why blacks in Ireland do get plenty of respect (or as much as the irish can give rather). Living in N.Ireland made this more apparent to me.
Michael Collins got me when he was shot (amazing movie you have to see)
Oh yea, Irish you gotta watch the boxer with daniel day lewis, if you have’nt I don’t know if you’ve ever been but it gives you a good insight into slummy N.Ireland Belfast living even today (In reality it’s worse).
And the passion really hit me hard, especially during the whippings and seeing his mother watch him carry the cross, the soundtrack was unbelieveable also.
I personally have no problems crying, probably because it’s not often but I don’t hide it if I do cry. My dad always told me even the strongest man will weep.

Michael Collins was a fantastic movie, one of the best movies that no one’s seen.
I’ve never seen the boxer, but I’ve heard of it. Daniel Day Lewis is pretty badass, so I’ll look into it.
One day, I’ll go to Ireland…it will be excellent.

Glory-When they march down the beach before the assault on Ft Sumter[/quote]
Holy crap! That is the exact scene in the first movie that ever moved me to tears; saw it in the theater when I was 17 with the girlfriend so I was trying to suck it up.
“Give 'em hell 54th!” = waterworks, even today.
im gonna have to go with I am Sam and million dollar baby. Braveheart used to get to me aswell.
ooo, the constant gardner too. good ending, very good.
Brave Heart when Wallace dies
Hero
Superman I - because I knew they’d make a sequel that was even worse than the original.
3 movies so far…no tears but darn close!
All 3 times I’ve seen “The Last Samuri” when they are charging the mini gun and all getting slaughtered.
“Romeo and Juliet” The one with Leo, when Juliet is about to be married to the guy she doesn’t like and pulls a gun and crying and yelling threatens to blow her head off to solve her problems
“Titanic” The first time I saw it when Leo freezes and drowns.
I felt like a total wus! Haha!
Here are a couple that didn’t really make me get all misty but I was in pretty bad shape at the end:
The Fan with DeNiro. If you haven’t seen this you’re part of a very large group.
The Butterfly Effect. If you thought it was any good at all you HAVE to see the director’s cut. Completely different ending. When I saw the standard ending I thought it sucked.
12 Monkeys
American History X. This one will leave you speechless for a while.
Requim for a Dream
The World According to Garp
Can’t think of any others at the moment.
Pretty much any movie if I’m alone, including “B” action movies. Something about the combination of the moment, with it’s deeper meaning --even if I have to invent that part for myself-- and the music does it. I don’t cry if I’m with people though.
Donny was a good bowler, and a good man. He was… He was one of us. He was a man who loved the outdoors, and bowling, and as a surfer explored the beaches of southern California from Redondo to Calabassos. And he was an avid bowler. And a good friend. He died–he died as so many of his generation, before his time. In your wisdom you took him, Lord. As you took so many bright flowering young men, at Khe San and Lan Doc and Hill 364. These young men gave their lives. And Donny too. Donny who… who loved bowling.
And so, Theodore–Donald–Karabotsos, in accordance with what we think your dying wishes might well have been, we commit your mortal remains to the bosom of the Pacific Ocean, which you loved so well.
Goodnight, sweet prince.
Dumps the ashes and the wind sprays them onto the dude’s face

This might sound ridiculous, but the one that always gets me is the end of Forrest Gump when he puts his son on the school bus for his first time day of school. I don’t know what it is, but I usually get teared during those sappy father-son moments in movies. I’m really close with my dad, and so I think it just reminds me that I’ll have to say goodbye to him someday…
Oh shit, there i go again! I’m really a tough guy, I swear.
Speaking of Forrest Gump, when Bubba dies in Forrest’s arms by the river in Vietnam used to choke me up allll the time.
I’ve seen it so many times now though it doesn’t have quite the same effect, unless I really immerse myself in the movie.[/quote]
When Forrest returns from Vietnam and is giving an inaudible speech to the hippy crowd, and just after he says “And that’s all that I have to say about the war”, Jenny can be seen across the water yelling “Forrest!” and he yells “Jenny!” and they run across the water and the entire crowd shouts out when they reach and hug each other.
I dunno guys, instead of sad things, only really good endings bring a tear to my eye.
The Last samurai, Passion of the Christ, Million dollar baby…
Transformers the Movie when i was a kid…
Yeah whatever. lol.
Million Dollar Baby
Requiem For a Dream
21 Grams
The Fox and The Hound
