The one I forgot in my previous post, and I'm astonished no one has mentioned yet - Shaun of the Dead! It had a couple of REALLY moving scenes, all the more so because they were completely unexpected. I'm thinking especially of the moment between Shaun and Philip, which suddenly puts a whole new spin on their relationship, and the audience's perception of Philip. Shaun and Ed's exchange at the end is pretty moving, too... An altogether great film.

"It's a Wonderful Life" gets me everytime. I watch it several times every Christmas season. Got plans to watch it again tonight.
"Casablanca" is my favorite Bogart movie of all time. It never fails to get the ol' eyes watering.
"M*A*S*H - Goodbye, Farewell, Amen". I loved M*A*S*H* and watched the show w/ my mom every week. I still catch the reruns every weekday on the Hallmark channel. When "Goodbye, Farwell, Amen" aired, I was already choked up knowing a great series was coming to an end. The last scene choked me up so bad I thought I was going to lose it. I still have a hard time watching that finale.

Ok, since we moved from movies to tv, I'll take it one more step. I just read the first 6 issues of Astonishing X-men (written by Joss), he can do it in a comic? Yeah, and make a joke right in the middle of it too. And of course, the Original Graphic novel The Crow by J. O'Barr.

I gotta say almost all the major Buffy moments make me cry. Especially...the Body and the Grave. I cried last night watching Serenity when Simon talks about River.
As for movies there are a lot, but nothing and I mean nothing, makes me cry harder than the scene in Terms of Endearment when Debra Winger is in the hospital and the nurse hasn't given her a shot and Shirley Maclaine goes into the hall and screams "Give my daughter her medicine." I cry like a baby every single time.
Life is Beautiful and Braveheart get me pretty good as well.

Amazing stuff. When Sam realizes he could save Al's first marriage and goes back to tell his wife he's still alive.
Its even more heartbreaking when you've seen the episode that Al sacrificed his freedom (and his marriage with it) so Sam could save his brother's life in Vietnam.

The first movie to make me cry was "Old Yeller", I was a kid--I still love dogs.
"The Color Purple"
"Shindler's List"
Any movie with any emotional content after 6 beers

I'm pretty weepy for a guy, but really only a few films get me.
ET-- every time.
Schindler's List-- esp. the scene where the little girl in the red coat walks through the destruction of the ghetto, and then you see her body later.
Ben Hur-- the crucifixion and Ben's mother and sister getting healed.
Sleeping in the Light (last ep of B5)- the end-credits, which shows everyone as they were and as they became, with really great music. Actually, that whole episode generally has me sniffing throughout.
The Body-- midway through I just start leaking.
I've only seen the last 15 minutes or so of AI, but it still had me sobbing. If I'd seen the whole film in a theater they probably would have had to carry me out on a stretcher.
But the biggest weeping jag I've had lately was when I just a few days ago watched the end of the movie Spartacus, which always gets me, but for some reason (maybe because I'm so depressed about how the world is going right now) this time around I was absolutely disconsolate and unable to move. I was glad I was alone in the house at the time. My wife would have probably called 911.
PS-- It's not a movie, but parts of Le Miserable leave me a basketcase. You just can't cry as loud in a live theater.
Oh, bugger! Now I have to wait for someone to wake up!

Oh! Those were the real elections, I thought they were a really sad movie.

The only LOTR that made me cry was Return of the King, and it's the Faramir-Denethor "you wish our places had been changed" conversation followed by the charge to Osgiliath. Lost it,lost it, lost it. And they added a bit more in the extended edition. Bastards. And yep, the "here at the end of all things" did it, too. And I KNEW what was going to happen next! I'd known for years!
And actually, the only Whedon to make me cry was The Body, and the Angel finale. When I watched the re-run of the Angel finale, I started crying like a little girl in the opening credits and just kept on.
Hmmm, what else?
Band of Brothers, episode 9, "Why We Fight"
Lonesome Dove, book and mini-series
Wow, I can't think of anything else off the top of my head. I'm not a big movie cryer.

I think the movie that I cried the most to was "Last of the Mohicans;" I always need my own jumbo sized box of kleenex to get me through that one.
I also recently cried to "The Punisher." I get choked up whenever there's death and children combined.
