Terms of Endearment---the way the little boy yells at his brother at the very end. Heartbreaking.
Schindler's List---that end bit when Liam Neeson has his little break down has me in tears every single time.
The Way We Were---something about the way her voice and the music swells at the end, and you realize they are so in love, but don't belong together. Uh!

Pretty much I am an emotional mess, and cry all time. I am a total pansy when it comes to a good tearjerkin movie.

The ending of Empire of the Sun elicited one of the most emotional reactions I've ever experienced from a film. I was a mess.

And I still like The Village.

When that plane flies by Bale when he is on top on that building? - My favorite fifteen seconds of any movie ever.

The first film I remember that made me cry - Bambi.

Then later - Brian's Song.

Love that. "Cadillac of the skies!" I get chills every time I see them enter that huge stadium filled with all the posh furnishings taken from the British homes.

I forgot about "Stepmom". The last sequence where Jackie spends Christmas with her children is truly heartbreaking. No matter how hard I try not to, I always cry.

Christmas Shoes is so sad, it makes me cry, it made my dad cry as well, and when the song comes on the radio I have to change the station.
A most ingenious paradox.

The House of Sand and Fog almost killed me. I remember watching it on a flight, everyone thought I was losing it. What an emotional, sad movie.

I'm a sap, but am happy that I'm not the only one who cried at POTO. I didn't cry during the stage production, but the movie I was in pieces.

Stepmom
The first time I saw A Beautiful Mind(mom goes to pieces everytime)
Rudy.
The Children's Hour with Shirley MacLaine and Audrey Hepurn.

And many more

"Return of the King" never fails to get me.
There's also "Harold and Maude", "Anne of Green Gables", "Schindler's List" and, I'm kind of embarassed to admit these two made me cry, "Monsters Inc." ("Kitty?") and "The Muppets Take Manhattan." It's the song "Saying Goodbye" that gets me. I can't even read the lyrics without tearing up.

Stepmom - for autobiographical reasons.

A Walk to Remember - DAMN YOU MANDY MOORE AND YOUR FRAIL AND HOLY WAYS.

Hunchback of Notre Dame - I must have been about 9 years old and I just lost it when the little girl hugs Quasimodo in the end.

I actually have frequently cried at the end of Law & Order. Don't laugh at me...
