Every one of the Star Wars prequels made me weep - with INCANDESCENT RAGE at the TRAVESTY!11!1!
I also cried with despair every time Frodo appeared during the LOTR films; oh God, is he still trudging up that volcano and whining, before toppling over in over-acted slow motion, again!?

Into The Wild got me.
I was just glad it was over. God that film dragged.
Not a movie but the video for the Hurt cover By Johnny Cash gets me choked up every time.
The end of Schindler's List always - ditto The Shawshank Redemption.
Toy Story 3 got me both in the cinema and again at home. The very end of Blackadder Goes Forth as mentioned before is also a bit of a 'am I really starting to tear up over this? oh god I am' moment.
The end of AI.

You must be kidding, I wanted that sociopathic mutt dead like you wouldn't believe, along with his sickening mawkish owners.
Marley and Me,
It was just so bloody obvious the dog would die at the end to try and get a bit of emotion into a very average film.
Aside from Up, Steven Speilberg and John Williams seem to have getting me to cry at films nailed. ET, Shindler's List, Saving Private Ryan. I even wanted to cry at the end of Jurrasic Park when they were fying past the pelicans!
It was just so bloody obvious the dog would die at the end to try and get a bit of emotion into a very average film.
To be fair, I'm pretty sure the dog dies in the original book too.
Crash. bloody everything nowadays tho, think it's sommat to do with parenthood, loads of films, tv stuff too. Mind you someone reading the bloody news can cause twinges, hearing about what absolute bastards people can be to each other, didn't used to bother me much.
I haven’t seen Up. I got about 10 mins in and was crying so much I turned it off. Toy Story 3 I made the mistake of going to see just before Ted was born, so completely hormonal anyway. I nearly flooded the cinema at the start when he’s packing up to go to college because our as yet unborn baby will leave home one day. The John Lewis ad that was on that Christmas had the same effect. Pathetic!!!
Into the Wild - not sure that Flowerpower has ever forgiven me for that...
Then about a year later she went and unleashed Mary and Max!

Watership Down still gets me
It's know as The Rabbit Film in our house, as even saying the title brings on the waterworks with Mrs B
Up, Toy Story3, Batteries Not included .. I blame having children for turning me emo.
[url= http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0113862/ ]Mr Holland's Opus[/url]. Prolly because my dad is a retired teacher...?
The champ. Cuts me to ribbons every time.
Awakenings got me. When Bob De Niro walks for the first time... 😥
When I was a kid, my parents let me stay up past my bedtime to watch The Great Escape. All I remember is hiding my face and saying "I'll go to bed now" when Donald Pleasence gets killed by them horrid Nazis.. (Apologies for spoiler).
Oh yes - recently The Lovely Bones: "On the floating, shapeless ocean..."
I haven't seen Watership Down since I went to the cinema with my Mum- it really, really upset me!
As others have said:
Up (and no I wasn;t embarrassed, I was too busy drying my own eyes)
Toy Story 3
and "Abide with me" gets me, I cannot sing it cos I choke up.
+1 for Watership Down and the ending of The Railway Children. Every f*cking time!
Dead Poet's Society -' Oh Captain, My Captain'
stop it!... sniff..
Driver had my eyes dribbling
Forest Gump. didn't see that one coming
Lost in Translation - final scene
I knew Marley and me was going to be a predictable old pile of cliched tosh before I watched it, but dammit I couldn't help get dust in my eyes when he died at the end anyway.
A film that really had me sobbing like a baby, and one which i was reminded of by the futurama episode mentioned here, is Hatchi: A dog's Tale. Owner leaves and faithful dog waits for them to return until they grow old and die.

The fact its based on a true story makes it all the more heart string yanking.
Oh and also another sizeable vote for Up. Can't watch it without tissues.
Love Lost-in-Translation - beautiful film
I also cried with despair every time Frodo appeared during the LOTR films
Lol! These sequences are to establish the relationship between Gollum, Sam and Frodo - they are the "empathy" sub-plot, opposing the "action" sub-plots following Aragorn's grouping and the hobbit grouping. I don't blame Tolkien, I just don't think the acting was that convincing.
Any footage of Marco Simoncelli sets me off
+1 for Up. Again. This bit got me totally by surprise...

+1 for Up. Definitely took me by surprise.
Also, for some reason the scene in Juno just after she's had to give the baby up. Every bloody time, it gets me.
Fortunately I only ever tend to watch films with the missus, and she sobs at everything, so I can get away with it now and then.
Kids watched Despicable Me yesterday, forgotten just how sickly sweet that is, but it brings a lump to my throat every time.
On a lighter note, anyone seen "Grave Of The Fireflies"?
Oh. My. Goodness.

the flying ox that film was fantastic (and extremely poignant 🙁
in my defense about star trek generations,my grandfather hadn't long died after suffering a huge stroke (he'd had about 2-3 before already in the previous few years) so that could've had something to do with it 🙁
I was going to mention 'Grave Of The Fireflies'. I love Myazaki and Studio Ghibli films, 'My Neighbour Totoro' is an all-time favourite, but after a mate gave me a brief synopsis I decided I could do without spending the whole film sobbing.
Not a movie but the video for the Hurt cover By Johnny Cash gets me choked up every time.
Oh Lordy, don't get me started on this, I just can't watch it any more, so damned poignant.
Nbt, ain't that the truth!
I haven’t seen Up. I got about 10 mins in and was crying so much I turned it off.
Mrsflash, persevere with it, once you get past that opening sequence it's just delightful, and very funny.
Best you watch it on your own, perhaps... 😥
But do give it a go, it's lovely.
Anyone else watch "The Best Of Men" last night, about the German doctor who started the paralympics?
Got really dusty in my front room during the closing credits..!
(Catch it on the iPlayer if you missed it, great programme)
Stop it, I'm welling up...

the sitting on the bench scene at the end of 'finding neverland'
when the dog puts his head on annistons lap after she finds out about the baby in marley and me
ahhh i can't list them all, i dont cry at stuff in real life but films give me the green light and its pretty easy to set make my eyes leak
Ok i'll join in and show myself to be a big girly man, films that had severe dust in the eye.......
The English Patient (jesus i was swallowing hard until i noticed the mrs going and i went too 😥 )
Hunchback of Notre Dam (watched as a kid and blubbed hard at him being dragged by the crowds)
Curious life of benjamin button (which i thought would be pants and is complete fantasy but it just got me at the end with a child going senile and dying as a baby 🙁 )
That episode with Fry's dog got me too.
+1 for Senna, and I confess that after a heavy and late night on the ale, myself and two other mates found ourselves averting our watery eyes from each other at the end of Armageddon. Very embarassing.
I've always been a blub monster first time i watched ET at a friends birthday party ( i was about 12) his parents rang up to check i was ok as i'd blubbed so much at the white ET bit.
Since having kids it's just got worse, olympic medals, blub, special the judo silver when she goes mum.
"The best of men" last night silent tears rolling down face
The one that still surprise me is the end of pixars "cars" every time lightening mcqueen pushes the king over the line...
I have heard nothing but good things about Up, so I will give it another go.
+1 for The Best of Men last night, one of the best things I’ve seen on tv for a long time and a definite tear-jerker at the end.
myself and two other mates found ourselves averting our watery eyes from each other at the end of Armageddon. Very embarassing.
I forgot about that! When Big Bruce opens the bucket of sunshine... I'm filling up just thinking about it.
Carebears the movie.
The good, the bad and the ugly - The bit when Tuco goes to meet his brother.
And another for Up
After watching the BBC 4 documentary about the survivors of Treblinka the other night I will not be getting tearfull over any Hollywood movies.
DO IT BRUCE... DO IT TO SAVE HUMANITY!
