MSSAM, yeah...Titanic was emotional at the end. I only saw it once though..might be time I watch it again.
Another movie that was SO depressing was 'Cold Mountian'. You sit thru almost 2 hours and they finally get back together...for about 1 day! You gotta be kidding me!

Until recently discovered allergies are what were causing my dry eyes, I used to picture sad movies in my head so I could cry to wet my contacts. For a while I used the scene in Titanic where she had to let go of Jack in the water.
Life is Beautiful makes me cry violently, as does Big Fish. Hero is also an excellent tear jerker because since the story is told three different times, I cry for three different reasons during the movie.
As for TV, "The Gift" still makes me cry even though I've seen it a dozen times. Also, the Angel episode where Connor came back. I was so happy for them both when Connor got in the elevator to leave.

The Straight Story is one of Lynch's best. As an interesting bit of trivia, the soundtrack of the original pre-release cut of Serenity consisted largely of Angelo Badalamenti's music from the Straight Story. I suppose they just pasted in to use for the demo, but it fit very nicely.

Yo. FUTURAMA fan in the house. Love this show as much as FIREFLY, maybe even more. I have a weird affinity for cult sci-fi shows on FOX. Those two and SLIDERS.
The 'Jurassic Bark' ep was heartfelt, but my fave of the overly emotional eps was 'Luck of the Fryish' when Fry realizes that the Philip J. Fry grave he was desecrating was his nephew that accomplished everything Fry had wanted to do. Plus, the very final moment of the series was one of the most perfect curtain lines for a show.
"Please don't stop playing, Fry. I wanna hear how it ends."
But as for movies, not many. I'm a sap, but I've only cried as in bawling once. I was 10, and the movie was the Disney version of HUNCHBACK OF NOTRE DAME. I know it's pathetic now, but then it made a big deal. But as in the last five year, there were only two movies that made me have a tear in my eye at the end. One was A.I. And the other was a movie that came out this year, actually. It was the Cole Porter biopic, DE-LOVELY with Kevin Kline and Ashley Judd. Just that final moment with Cole at the piano singing "In the Still of the Night" to Linda. I'm a straight 19 year old guy, but I actually had a tear in my eye at the end.
But there were two other movies that at the end, while I didn't cry, that I felt enlightened. That after seeing them, I wanted to rush out of the theatre to try to change my life. One was AMERICAN BEAUTY, the other one was GARDEN STATE. I love that final line at the end of BEAUTY.

Movies that I directly relate to a part of my life really get the tears going for me, and I'm not much one for crying, especially in public. My rational side says it's not logical and unneccessary, while my heart and tear ducts have their way with the situation.
Titanic- I could barely see through my soggy contacts after that movie. I saw it with my new boyfriend (now husband) after previously being stuck in a destructive, confining relationship. For weeks after that if I thought about the movie I'd tear up.
AI- When I saw this in theater, yeah it made me sad when the mother,Monica has to leave David in the woods. I watched it recently (have a 1yo. son now) and I could barely get through that scene without about 12 tissues. The whole "Mommy don't leave me" and "Why?" OMG! I could barely watch it.
Saving Private Ryan. Giovanni Ribisi's death scene is too painful to watch. I cry big time on that one.
The Missing- Didn't think the movie was great, but the mother and little daugther who are captives to the Brujo. What the mother does near the end. Holy cow! At the time my son was 3 months old so I think my "mommy nerves" were way tweaked by that.
Whew, I'm almost upset thinking about all these tearjerkers.

If you like movies that make you tear up, you ABSOLUTELY MUST SEE "Bang the Drum Slowly," a baseball movie made in the '70s starring Michael Moriarty and Robert DeNiro.
It's a fantabulous movie. Trust me. Watch it. You'll wonder why nobody told you about it before.

One movie no one has mentioned is Phonebooth. The scene near the end when Colin Farrell confessed how much he's messed up his life really gets to me. There are so many others but I can't think of them right now...

I'll add a third vote for the scene in "Casablanca" where the band strikes up "La Marseillaise".
It's my favorite movie of all time and I've watched it at least once a year for the past twenty years. I know it's coming and there's not a damn thing I can do about it... gets me every time and I'm bawling like I just had to put down my own dog. Hell, I didn't even cry that hard when I actually held my dog in my arms while the vet put the needle in.
Another one is "Independence Day" when Randy Quaid suicides into the alien craft's mondo cannon. Just chokes me up is all.
And the end of "Red Dawn" when the Central American (I want to say Nicaraguan but I'm not sure) officer watches Patrick Swayze and Charlie Sheen escape the town after the raid.
I'm just going to keep editting this entry as things pop into my head 
. I also got all teary-eyed the first time I watched "All Quiet on the Western Front" at the end - even though I had read the book and knew exactly what was going to happen.

Hmmmm no one has mentioned ‘Das Boot’…
I’m usually not emotional with movie “sad scenes” but at the end when they pan to most of the crew dead from the bombing then they go to the mortally wounded Captain as he watches his U-Boat go down in La Rochelle harbor then dies with Lt. Werner looking on sobbing gets me every time.
