I was a mess during both "ladder 49" and "the notebook."
Simon birch really gets me too.
Old Yeller.... I still cry.

Million dollar baby I just saw posted and I totally agree
Also, I just watched "A Walk to Remember" and I cried- for about the 6th time watching it
The Color Purple...I know it's actually meant to be inspirational, but I couldn't stop crying!
plus Pay It Forward...tearjerker.
I saw this movie short on AOL called the youth in us... I cried pretty hard considering the movie was only 12-15 minutes long

How could I forget Million Dollar Baby? Sad movie!
Also, Sweet November and The Patriot are really sad as well.
MADE FOR EACH OTHER with Jimmy Stewart and Carole Lombard.
Don't you DARE ask 'who is Carole Lombard??'
FRIED GREEN TOMATOES, THE HEART IS A LONELY HUNTER, and THE MIRACLE WORKER are a few others.
The following may not be considered "tearjearkers" but I bawled my eyes out in THELMA & LOUISE (the cliff scene), A LEAGUE OF THEIR OWN (dead husband announcement), and THE AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF MISS JANE PITTMAN (the water fountain scene).
one that really moved me was splendor in the grass
with natalie wood and warren beatty
that movie damn near tore my heart out
Many great choices have been already mentioned. But I am very surprised, am I the ONLY one to break down at the end of "Philadelphia" ??? Also the ending of "The Way we Were" gets me every time.
Also, "Schindler's List" and "Cinema Paradiso" (though not a sad film per se)

Ok...was I the only one then who cried at "Crash"?
I don't cry at movies...
I bawled during this one...at the end of EVERY story...there was sobbing, and heaving...it was a mess...so many tissues.
-Feste from "Twelfth Night"
Bewitched...
Will Farrell just killed it for me...........

i second pay it forward and a walk to remember. (i cried like so hard even though i knew the end, probably b/c the same thing happened to a classmate of mine)
i have to add:
the christmas shoes
ladder 49
Old Yeller and The Fox and the Hound still get to me as well. Also The Cure and Glory.
sophie's choice
schindler's list (it was hard to believe that all of those people were actors!)
i can NOT watch the fox and the hound
thirteen (not really sad...more disturbing. but holly hunter friggin rocks in that movie)
finding neverland...i cry every time. i love that movie.
the last time i watched "little women" with winona ryder and claire danes, i bawled my eyes out when beth died. it was quite ridiculous actually.
Most recently- Eight Below. I just felt so bad for those dogs out in the freezing cold all by themselves for so long.
Armageddon
A walk to remember
The color purple
I can't remember anything really recently that made me cry, but I cried in the bathroom at the movie theater after I saw the movie Andre. LOL! I couldn't have been older then 10 at the time. Ice Castles is another one too, but I haven't seen it is so long.
CAREFUL HE MIGHT HEAR YOU.
A heartbreaking Australian film with an exgquisite performance by an actress named (I think) Wendy Hewes. Wendy something. I remember seeing it at the Plaza in NY, and having to sit in the front row. Much of the house behind me sniffled.
I was a basket case after The Notebook. Also, not a film, but the last episode of Torchwood was a five tissue episode.

MULHOLLAND DR., in a way, it was the film where David Lynch started to climb up his own ass, a process continued in that irritating bag of crap INLAND EMPIRE.

Definitely has to be Dancer in the Dark. I actually had to recover after watching it. I cried for 15 minutes straight, like hyperventilating crying. It was just waaaay too much for me.
And inexplicably, every god-damned time I watch ID4 I cry when the First Lady dies, I cried the first time when I saw it in the theater, and every time afterwards. And now that she's the President on Battlestar Galactica, and you know she's gonna die, I'm a mess every time she comes on the screen.
The Fox and the Hound scarred me for life, man. I don't think I could make myself watch it now.
The movie that's most likely to get me crying, although it's not necessarily the saddest, is Forrest Gump. The scene at the end at the grave (not mentioning whose to avoid spoilers)... oh God, I'm tearing up just thinking about it. My big, manly straight old roommate and I once got each other bawling just by describing it to each other.
I agree with you on The Fox and the Hound, scott68.

Wow, ever had a thread bumped that you had no recollection of creating? Yeah, me too.
