Never seen the movie but the book choked me up pretty good.

A couple more:

The Great Escape: My mother let me stay up late to watch this great, great show as a twelve-year-old. I watched it recently and wept at the conclusion. The haunting music, Steve McQueen's manic escape attempt, Donald Pleasance's blindness that doomed himself and James Garner.

Shane: "Shane! Come back!" Gets me every time.

I watched this movie in a film class I took two years ago and it made everyone in the class well up...myself included. Great Western flick!

Gonna have to go with Backdraft, the end when Kurt Russel is dyin in the ambulance and says to WIlliam Baldwin, "Who's your brother Brian??" I guess being the younger brother, that's why it got to me.

The Perfect Storm:

The ending where they have the funeral for the crew of the Andrea Gail and Linda Greenlaw is giving the eulogy.

2 movies come to mind, and only 2 in that matter
Passion of the Christ - The part when jesus is either carrying or getting nailed to the cross and there is a flashback to when he was a young boy running down the steps or something and his mother is there to help him, but ironicly she cant as he is being crucified.
Scent of a woman - The scene where Al was dancing was really beautiful, lots of touching scenes in that movie.

The part that got me was when Murph and Sully are below and have realized they ain't gonna make it. Murph says, "This is going to be really hard on my son" or something like that...cann't remember the exact line but it tore me up right there.....add that one to my list.

There is something about shipwrecks that gets to me in general anyway.

Yeah I remember that too.

Anyhow I found the eulogy made at the funeral:

Linda Greenlaw: [at the services for the crew of the Andrea Gail] I knew Billy Tyne, but I did not know his crew very well, but any man who sailed with him, must have been the better for it. Rober Shatford, Dale Murphy, Micheal Moran, David Sullivan, Alfred Pierre... May you rest easy long-liners, in fair winds, and calm seas... For those of us left behind, the vast unmarked grave which is home for those lost at sea is no consolation. It can't be visited, there is no headstone on which to rest a bunch of flowers... The only place we can revisit them, is in our hearts, or in our dreams. They say swordboatmen suffer from a lack of dreams, that's what begets their courage... Well we'll dream for you: Billy, and Bobby, and Murph, Bugsy, Sully, and Alfred Pierre... Sleep well... Good Night...

White Squall could be added to that list.

Empire of the Sun

Forrest Gump (When he talks to Jenny's grave and leaves the letter that he can't read .... And crying ensues)

Braveheart (When he sees his wife in the crowd and he smiles when the axe comes down.)

Fried Green Tomatoes.... (shut up, it's a good movie)

Blow

Big Fish - All parents would cry.

"I might not be able to carry the ring for you Mr Frodo but I can carry you!!!!"

I have never cried during a movie, and probably never will, but My Dog Skip was too close for comfort. That little dog really got to me, even though I find Jack Russells super annoying in real life. The Princess Bride and Return of the Jedi get honourable mentions.

[HelloHockeyFans]

Yeah, I'll agree with those who voted for I am Sam as a sad one.

[Ford Prefect]

I've always found it interesting that movies can make people cry, because I've never experienced this. Real life can make me cry, but movies have never had that effect on me. Even sad movies about real events ... it's just not personal enough to upset me that much. Funerals, personal betrayal ... that's the kind of stuff that gets to me. I guess I must lack empathy or something.

[Maritime Q-Scout]

The Notebook

two hours of my life I'll never get %&*ing back

on a more serious note the scene in "Click" (yes Click) where Adam Sandler's character pauses the universe when he sees his father for the last time, apologizes to his father for ignoring him for so many years, then hugs him.

Like others have mentioned father/son stuff gets me.

Mask - when Rocky pulls all the pins out of the map for the places he dreamed of going to

The Return of the King - when Aragorn tells the hobbits "My friends, you bow to no one".

I'm with you on this one. Although I do feel the strong emotions that everyone else does during a movie, it never gets to the point of getting choked up or crying.

Well, I'm yet to watch a movie that's made me cry, but there are certainly some, like I am Sam which came pretty darn close.

I agree with you though.

Watching the events of September 11th live that day got me teary-eyed though I must admit. I was a little shocked too since I didn't have anyone close to me directly affected by what happened on that day.

Good one. This was when his friend pulls out of the Euro Harley trip, no? Due to a girlfriend? Another powerful moment in that flick was when Rocky saw himself in the funhouse mirror and he looked less disfigured.

[Beefcake]

Not a movie, but I can't handle watching "Extreme Home Makeover" anymore.
