Terminator 2 came close.  Sunrise: A Song of Two Humans is another.  I basically never CRY CRY, just get misty eyed.

I forgot about the (for me, anyway) emotional ending to Jurassic Park with Laura Dern and Sam Neill seeing the birds flying over the ocean and then that glorious shot of the helicopter flying off into the sunset..... wow: I blubbed then in the cinema and I still do. The other scene that does it for me is the scene where the scientists see the dinosaurs for the first time.

I've cried during movies, but not at the end.
However, I did cry at the end of the Futurama episode "Jurassic Bark."

Oh yeah, that's a great one.

Yeah, that's pretty much the litmus test to determine whether someone has a soul or not.

Harry Potter And The Half Blood Prince when Dumbledore dies.  That whole scene and everything behind it gets me a bit teary eyed.

Sidenote, I'm glad I'm not the only one for Finding Nemo.  When Nemo swims back to hug his dad completely and utterly DESTROYS me.  

I noticed a lot of Toy Story 3 nominations too, I was literally hyperventalating in the theater when Andy was giving his toys away to the little girl.  

LOTR ROTK when everyone bows to the hobbits.  

Not an ending but when I went to go see the re-release of Star Wars in the theater I cried at the beginning.  It was just a thrill seeing the scroll on the big screen for the first time. This behavior followed me through all the prequels which of course ending up blowing.

I watched "Cats & Dogs" with my sons last night and the scene @ the end where the heroic dog "Lou" has seemingly perished but is brought back to life by his boy tearfully whispering "You're my best friend!" gets me every time.
"If you're a false, don't entry, because you'll be burned and died!"

This one doesn't exactly make me cry.  It makes my gut hurt.  Here is the ending of BICYCLE THIEVES (1948)

I bet my wife once that she would cry at the end of an episode of Futurama, and only having a passing familiarity with the show (but knowing it only as a goofy cartoon from the Simpsons guys), she said "no way."  I showed her this one of course, and she was a goner (not to mention me).

I guess another one that I didn't see mentioned would be kind of an obvious one – Sophie's Choice...
Check out my movie reviews and articles at:  www.cinedump.com<br /><br />Or, don\\\'t check them out - see if I care.  You\\\'re not my real mom anyway.  Unless, you are.  In which case, whatever, I\\\'ll do what I want.  It\\\'s my hot body.  Y\\\'all don\\\'t know me.

I didn't exactly cry, but I was sad after watching Kowalski slam into the two bulldozers running 110 mph in "Vanishing Point"
when in doubt,  plan E.   EXPLOSIVES!!

I've never seen that episode so I googled it and yes, I would cry after seeing that ending.  :bluesad:

I came pretty close myself. I read some behind the scenes stuff on that, originally it was supposed to be his mother instead of the dog, but it was agreed (and rightfully so) that it would have been beyond depressing. Apparently they still got a lot of hate mail from people who cried over it, to the point that it was later retconned via time travel.

This isn't the exact ending.  The real one was only availabe in Spanish.  But, this is the best English version I could find.

"The path to Heaven runs through miles of clouded Hell."

The ending of The Shawshank Redemption always gets me good.

"My friends, you bow to no one." That was great.  :smile:
