Me too. Every time that old man stands up and salutes the grave, I just can't stop it. I know its coming, I’ve seen it a dozen times. I think it's harder now that I have a friend who is buried at that cemetery.

It's not a movie, but the last B5 after JMS turns off the lights and everyone leaves and then they blow up the station makes me lose it every time. Normal people watch things like 'Steel Magnolias' when they want a good cry, I watch Babylon 5.
Also, I have to concur with all the 'Return of the King' references. It started with "Rosie Cotton dancin'," continued at "...here at the end of all things," got really bad at the unspoken look exchanged between Frodo and Sam in Ithilien, and reemerged at Frodo's departure at the Grey Havens. An excellent movie on so many counts.

Ok, I thought of a couple of more wierd ones that tend to have that effect: The Fifth Element (ending, beam o light) and American History X ( I saw this in the theatre once , bought it when it came out on VHS and let it sit on a shelf for years before I could watch it again.)
Also agree with the Crow Music post, being a big big fan of the original graphic novel. added emotion. I always liked the little off topic quotes in the books, added flavor. One of my favourites: " There was a man, Playing the violin, and the strings, were the veins in his own arm."

I can't believe I forgot 'Life Is Beautiful.' I saw it in the theater and still have not been able to watch it again.

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.
Did you have to bring that one up?
I felt so bad for the dog. Whenever I see that episode I hug my dog.

Not exactly a movie, but did many of you see the last episode of Quantum Leap?
Amazing stuff. When Sam realizes he could save Al's first marriage and goes back to tell his wife he's still alive. I get choked up thinking about it even... and then the closing fade to black with "Sam Beckett never made it home" or something like that. Jeezz.. powerful.

Ok, I'm a major dork for these two, but I always cry when Artax dies in "The Neverending Story" and when they take the little bunny's birthday coin his parents saved all year for in Disney's "Robin Hood". MEAN mean Sheriff! 
I also bawl like a child thru the entire movie of "Radio Flyer" about the abused little boys. (incidentally, the abuser is Adam Baldwin...hmmm)
Through the last 45 min. of "Hamburger Hill", especially when the planes are killing their own men and they are waving their arms and trying to call them off. The futility of it and the hopelessness get me every time.
And, of course, when Satine dies in Moulin Rouge (My ABSOLUTE favorite movie of all time)
P.s. My hubby cried during Iron Giant too

Makes me girly, but - Little Women.
Also, inevitably, the Buffy ep 'As you were' from season 6 when Riley comes back to visit.

Yeah. Lazlo wants the band to play La Marseillaise in response to what the Germans are singing (dunno the song, but the phrase 'wacht am Rhein' means it was provocative), they look to their boss, who nods. Understated and very kewl!
"Boss, you've done a beautiful Thing!" Excellent Movie!
Me, I cry a *lot* at movies. Even a couple of places in Cellular, for instance. Not so much in Sky Captain, except for the way they butchered the whole concept... Grr, Yargh!

I’m glad someone mentioned a Buffy episode… it’s pretty impressive when a TV show makes you cry, since it gets less time and no silence and popcorn to help (unless you’re being strict with family / flatmates).
One I might mention, because it was kind of strange, is the film ‘Goodbye Lenin’. I saw that with three friends: two of us thought it was the saddest film ever, and the other two were in hysterics all the way through and thought it was the funniest film ever. Either way, we all thought it was brilliant, but it was weird to get such different reactions.
