Aw, man. theres this episode of Futurama that KILLS me. Its the one where Fry tries to resurect his old dog. At the end of that episode it shows his dog in the past waiting for Fry in front of the pizza shop and its playing this missirible music...Only episode of futurama I realy dont like. KILLS me, man.

the ep is 'jurrasic bark', and it is a sad one, its one of the episodes that makes futurama so special though :thumbup: tbh though, any tv/film where the dog dies has me nearly in tears

as for films
silent running - bruce dern should have let the slightly busted robot stay with the other one in the garden

if we can hit that bullseye, the rest of the dominoes will fall like a house of cards.........checkmate!!

This another thing that hits me hard is that Video "What Hurts The Most" by Rascal Flatts and "Believe" by Brooks & Dunn. I know these are not movie but they still make me sad.

Another one for me is the end of Donnie Darko.

Awakenings. When De Niro starts to relapse, I start to well up. It goes soggily downhill into the fetal sobbing position from there. Even now I generally start to tear up when I pass the word "Awakenings" on the guide channel...
I second Awakenings! The scene where they dance one last(?) time... One of the few movies that gets me going, and almost every time. (It's been a couple of years since I saw it though.)

Labyrinth (One of my alltime favourite movies that I've watched a million times!)
The scene were Sarah takes a bite out of Jareth's gift and forgets her friends, and she floats past them in that magic bubble!... :bluesad: :bluesad: :bluesad:
This movie has started to effect me even more as I've gotten older, I suppose that "leaving childhood and accepting life as an adult" theme just pushes my, ever growing, nostalgia buttons the right(wrong) way.  :lookingup:
"...and there was much rejoicing!"

Killer Bees

I can't believe I forgot this classic tearjerker:  the end of Wizard of Oz when Dorothy is leaving Oz.  I just can't help myself - I blub every time.
Flower, gleam and glow
Let your power shine
Make the clock reverse
Bring back what once was mine
Heal what has been hurt
Change the fates' design
Save what has been lost
Bring back what once was mine
What once was mine.......

I like horror movies and heavy music but I have a wicked soft spot for The Wizard of Oz.  I don't cry or anything but it's such a great American movie.  Hell, it's just a great movie period.  Sure the whimsy gets turned up to 11 but it reminds me of my childhood.

Braveheart, Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter, and Pay it Forward.

I remember I had to watch "Pay it Forward" for school, so my compassion for it is minnimal. Even though it had a good message..
"I'm a man too, you know! I go pee-pee standing up!"

I never used to be too weepy at films, but here's a few that get to me.....

-Old Yeller
-The Green Berets
-The Shootist
-It's A Wonderful Life
-Tales From the Crypt (Grimsdyke story)
-Escape From the Planet of the Apes
-The Fighting Sullivans
-Guess Who's Coming to Dinner (Tracy's final speech and Hepburn's reaction)
-Miracle On 34th Street (1947...several scenes get to me!)
-Poseidon Adventure (1972)

I'm sure there are a ton more, but that's a start.   :teddyr:

That's the wrong question to ask me!  When I'm in a certain frame of mind, Starship Troopers makes me sob brokenly.

Yeah that part where Shelley Winters dies gets to me too.

Not a movie, but the last 6 minutes or so the final episode of Boy Meets World:

I bawl my eyes out watching it.

Well, dunno.. lots of films have made me cry, but considering I suffer from severe depression, I dunno if that really means anything.  :)


But here are some that I'm sure it's not just me, but the films themselves..

Stand By Me - testament to childhood friendship, how those bonds sometimes go deeper than anything will experience as an adult.

Hearts In Atlantis

Casper - the scene where Casper appears as a boy, the song they play ("Remember Me This Way") reminds me a lot of a lady friend who passed away years ago.

Agree with those who already mentioned Grave of the Fireflies

Also, I haven't seen it yet, but something tells me Bridge to Terabithia would probably make me cry as well... especially if the story is anything like the real incidents the authoress' son went through that inspired the book...

HappyGilmore

I cried when Hooch got shot in Turner and Hooch. 

Go figure.

Don't get too close, it's dark inside.
It's where my demons hide, it's where my demons hide.

Ed, Ego and Superego

Theres a movie called" What Dreams May Come" where Robin Williams is not annoying.  Its about the afterlife and love etc.  It always chokes me up.  Also "Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence" always gets me.
