Believe it or not, first time I ever cried in the theatre was watching "Ghost", the scene with the penny. Another one no-one has mentioned is "Deep Impact", where the parents give their baby to their teenage daughter and her husband to save while they stay behind to die. "What Dreams May Come" left me a bit misty at the end, but smiling nonetheless. And the score for "The Crow" still sends shivers up my spine, poignant and powerful.

Let me just preface this with...there are LOTS of good movies (and shows) that DON'T make me cry. And I really appreciate that, too. Some movies make you cry and you HATE them for it, because it is so hollywoodized. I'm trying to think of the Keanu Reeves movie about the baseball team...shoot, can't remember. Anyhow, that's a "I HATE that movie for pulling that cheap trick and making me cry" kinda thing.
But, for the good cry kind of movies...I think the worst was Sommersby, with Jodie Foster. OMG, I BAWLED!! On a happier note, I tear up every time I watch "Going My Way," with Bing Crosby. So worth seeing if you haven't. I'm one of those that crys at the end of E.T. I think the last time I saw it I was able to keep it down to a short sniffle, but it was still there. Dances With Wolves is one of those 'I never got through it, it was so cry-worthy.' I have never seen the very end, and have no real desire to. What a depressing movie!
On the up side, the best non-crying, but very touching and uplifting movie I've ever seen was "Uncorked" with Minnie Driver.

I'm with 'Lish on this one: It's A Wonderful Life was the first movie that actually made me cry (oddly, not until I was in my mid-20s, though I'd watched it every year since childhood). When Uncle Billy's squirrel climbs his sleeve as if to console him, on the bridge when it starts snowing again and the final scene.
After I broke down for that movie, however, it's been 'Katie bar the door' ever since. Now just about everything makes me cry, unless it's just ridiculously maudlin, in which case it makes me laugh uncontrollably.
Y'all hadn't mentioned "Forrest Gump" yet, and that's got 2 or 3 really good weeping jags in it.
For PurpleBelly:
"Animal House" always makes me cry. Kevin Bacon's tearful, "Thank you, sir! May I have another?" is very reminiscent of, and provides a powerful counterpoint to Dickens' Oliver Twist, as he heart-rendingly asks "Please, sir, I want some more" at the orphanage. I often wonder if Landis wasn't paying homage to Dickens' with that scene. "What are your thoughts, Hobson?"
(Name that tear-jerking movie for spurious prizes and unimaginably faux cash! NB: It doesn't google, even if you know the name of the movie, so cheaters will not prosper)
Lachrymally,

Didn't have to use the second clue in your ballad re-write. Mostly because I didn't see it - you know my no-scrolling rule

Spurious and faux, en route to you, even as we speak! Just keep an eye out your front window for the delivery van! You must be present for the prizes to be awarded (and do try to wear something appropriate for the holiday television audience; perhaps a Santa suit).
The line, delivered by the late Dudley Moore, from one of the best scenes in 'Arthur':
Arthur: Oh, stay with me Hobson. You know I hate to be alone.
Hobson: Yes, bathing is a very lonely business.
Arthur: Except for fish.
Hobson: Pardon? Did you say "except for fish"?
Arthur: Yes... Fish all bathe together. Though they do tend to eat one another. I often think: Fish must get awfully tired of sea food. What are your thoughts, Hobson?
Select to view spoiler:
When Hobson dies, Arthur realizes he has just lost his 'father'. Very poignant.
Cinematically,

Any Futurama fans here?...I have never seen the episode but at the other forum alot of people brought up an epi called 'Jurassic Bark'.
Everyone said they couldnt believe a funny cartoon could get so emotional. Anyone that has ever owned a dog knows it has to come to an end..but it doesnt make it any easier to deal.
Man...i balled for like,days it seems...even when i think about poor Seymore waiting for Fry to come back,holding quiet vigil in front of the pizza parlor,only to die waiting...Fry thought Seymore had a good long life,when he had a sad empty life alone. gets me every time.
