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.

Posted: 4/24/08 at 11:04pmDefinitely the documentary Invisible Children. It's very, very sad, but I strongly suggest that you watch it. You will be horrified into action.

Sophie's Choice is number 1, by far.
Others...
-Old Yeller (you don't have a heart if you don't cry at the end of that one)
-Where the Red Fern Grows (the book is muuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuch better, but the story is strong enough that it carries through)
-Saving Private Ryan

My Dog Skip- I was bawling at the end of the movie. My parents and I stayed after the credits because I was crying so much.
Rugrats: The Movie, Rugrats in Paris: The Movie
The Prince of Egypt- At the beginning when baby Moses is being sent down the river by his mother and she is singing her last lullaby, I just lost it.
There are so many more, I just can't think of them right now.
