ClosePotential Movie Spoilers on this thread be warned.
Basically a follow up to Corf's Rpg Maker game tear-jerkers thread but with movies instead.
Whether it be from your childhood to now, I'm sure everyone has experienced at least one emotional, touching, and/or sad movie that nearly brought them to tears. Were you one of those kids who cried during Mufasa's death, or the typical tough as nails guy/gal who cried during the end of Titanic but don't want to admit it?
I have a history of being emotionally sensitive during a engaging movie. I use to burst into tears while watching one of my favorite childhood movies, "The Pagemaster", especially during the song "Whenever you Imagine." Nostalgia is a powerful indeed as to this day, I still cannot help but to smile whenever I hear this song.

Click almost did it for me. It was so unexpected from an American comedy movie..
EDIT: and I know this isn't a movie, but this book called Old Yeller made me cry like a baby... Maybe because I read it when I was in elementary school or so.

Die Brücke ( made in 1959)
a powerful and sad movie about war, much like all quiet on the western front. The ending is just ;_;

The only movie I can think of was when Wilson floated away.
When you cry because of a volleyball, you know they did a movie right.

The ending of Finding Forrester was not really a tear-worthy experience... however it did stir something in me.
The opening of UP did get me on both occassions I saw it...

I think Toy Story 2 made me cry when they got to Jessie's backstory.

Yes, yes I did.
Also, I also got teary eyed (did not cry) during the "Forrest talks to Jenny's tomb" scene in Forrest Gump. Tom Hanks is a great actor, if not the greatest actor ever.

I almost cried during The Stoning of Soraya M. Yeah, the title gives the climax away but I wasn't expecting it to be so graphic and ...I can't think of a word to describe it. The scene seemed to last forever but you can't pull yourself away. A great movie, all around.
A innocent woman killed, simply because her husband wanted a divorce so he could marry a younger woman and she refused the divorce because she did not want her children to live in poverty. Yeah...that was a hard movie to watch but it's worth it.

I cry alot at movies. At one point early in my moviegoing career I decided "if a movie can make me tear up then it had to be at least decent." Of course as I got more used to the emotional trickery that goes on in movies I tear up a lot less (or maybe the movies are worse? Nah it cannot be)
Two movies that really had me crying my eyes out while watching them were Big Fish. And Finding Neverland. Especially Big Fish was just strange. There at the end (spoilers needless to say) there was some final story to be told and a big fish to release. And I cried all throughout it. All the way to the funeral scene and all that stuff. I was weeping like a little child.
Finding Neverland had a similar thing near the end when they go into neverland and I think it was Kate Winslet in that movie and her final fate and I was so teary.
In both there was a kind of tears of happiness/sadness thing going on. I'm a very nostalgic person too and those two stories touched on a nostalgia and an innocence lost theme thingie that always gets me. Especially if there's fantasy/imagination involved.
I obviously also cried at movies like Titanic and LotR. Because that's what I do. (in Titanic there when the preacher does his speech and the music goes bonkers and everything goes HOLY SHIT. I almost tear up in the trailer alone when that thing comes up)
I also tend to occasionally cry tears of awesome. You know when the music swells and the guy who has been beaten finally rises up the occasion and beats the living shit of someone who rightly deserves it. I know that for some reason especially the movie V for Vendetta does that. First in the beginning with the music and speech and initial bombing. But of course especially at the end beginning with the girl getting shot and the people rising up and culminating in a complete blurry vision when the people march peacefully into the police.
And these are only a fraction of me crying in movies. I cry a lot at war movies. I cry a lot when people die in slow motion to string music. I cry when hobbits shout "fireworks Gandalf". Hell I cried at the end of The Notebook. It's probably harder to find movies where I didn't cry.

Why has Bambi not been mentioned yet?
Also, Land Before Time.
Forest Gump was also a tearjerker. And Up! Man, that opening sequence in Up was SO SAD :'(

post=202378So crying at Toy Story 2 doesn't count as me having a soul, then?
You have no soul.
It's honestly more sad if a pet dies than if some cartoon animal's mom does.

This takes me back to the second time I watched Pokemon: The First Movie. Sure, at the theatre when Pikachu's teary-eyed mug hits the screen, I'm just sitting there watching while a roar of children's crying echoes up from the lower seats, but so help me when I watched it the first time I got home, that's when it hit me. I still remember walking to a corner in another room crying. My mother came in to comfort me, reminding me that Ash gets back up, but man I remember through my whimpers saying that Pikachu loved him so much and just yada-yada-BAWWW!
Reading over the TVTropes tearjerkers, I remember reading up on Mufasa's death from The Lion King and some of those moments in Pokemon, but for me those were more "sit still without a word" moments instead of "W-w-w-waaahh!!", kind of like the first episode when its storming and all those birds are flying at Pikachu because electric mice taste like chicken. Ash throws himself in front of the birds and that dramatic music plays. If you were young in the 90s you'd watch that moment and just pause.

I cried multiple times in Spirited Away. Once when Chihiro talked to her porky parents and forgot her own name and the other times...can't quiet remember, but I cried more than once!
Oh and for some odd reason I cried during the ending of Corpse Bride.
