fortune_p_dawg: That part where he sees his wife in the crowd, and she smiles at him.
Or in the end, when the bastards torture him, and the chief-torturer asks him if he wants to plead for mercy, and he gives one last yell - FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMM !

It's cheese... but it's good cheese because it elicits emotion.

Grave of the Fireflies. A sad, sad movie and only the emotionally strong would/could watch it a second time.

My favorite part of "Braveheart" is when he gets drunk and starts yelling anti-Semitic names at the cops accusing them of killing Jesus and destroying the world.

Oh wait, that wasn't "Braveheart". That was just the writer producer director and star of "Braveheart". :P

Ouch. Tough one in sadness.

Alternatively, how could I forget «Batman and Robin» by Schumacher?
The acting of Bane, Schwarzenegger, Uma Thurman and George Clooney (who looks like he couldn't care less) made me laugh non stop, tears were just flowing ^^.

When I first saw this back in '95 I was hoping his large bearded pal would throw an axe or something to cut his bindings. Now I realize that would've defeated the film's entire purpose, thought it would've been satisfying nonetheless.

Mr Melvin of House Gibson can say what he likes, sir. Some of his on-screen kills are AWESOME!

That whole end scene where he is being disemboweled with the music playing and then he sees a vision of her. And it gives him peace and serenity amidst the pain and chaos that he was no doubt feeling. And then the strength to draw out his last breath to shout out a message to his people to continue on without him. The reaction of Hamish and Stephen in that moment was quite authentic. A VERY powerful scene and no matter how many times I've seen it, I'm reduced to a blubbering mess at the end of it every single time.
Guess what the "ww" in my alias stands for? Every online alias I've had for 15 years now has taken something from the movie.

Terry Gilliam manages to wet my eyes. Apart from that; I can only think of Benigni's La Vita e Bella, Winterbottom's Butterfly Kiss and maybe Amenabar's Abre los Ojos.

Ah and a japanese movie called All About my Dog. For instance, the "Say Marimo" part...

"Grave of the Fireflies" is already mentioned. Would also like to add "When the wind blows".

While I don't cry (for some reason even if I try nothing comes out), there are a few movies which can bring me close:

Grave of the Fireflies
Man of La Mancha
Last Days
Labyrinth of the Faun/Pan's Labyrinth
I Am Legend (mostly the dog scene)
Cowboy Bebop: The Movie

There are probably more, but I can't seem to think of them right now.

Ok, same movie I always respond with:

Foxfire - John Denver, Hume Cronyn, Jessica Tandy

I very rarely cry at films, but Edward Scissorhands made me weep buckets. It's been seven years since I first watched it and I still haven't dared watch it again.

Pheace: There's a Jdorama called 'One Litre of Tears (translated)' (The series, not the movie). I've never cried so much in my life, and seriously without embellishment I wouldn't be surprised if the title was a 100% fitting, and I still break up watching it. Can't even listen to the soundtrack without getting a lump in my throat.
Nice, thanks for posting the link! I wanted to watch this but never thought to search on youtube.

As for crying at movies, I never actually cry, only rare occasions my eyes might get watery. The movies I can think of that have caused this:

Avalon (not the action movie-makes me think of my grandparents)
Grave of the Fireflies (seems to be a common one)

Movie?

No.

Very rare for a movie to strike me emotionally but Bridge to Terabithia (sp) is probably the closest a movie has got.

I find anime quite touching occasionally though, moreso than any movie. I'm not sure what that says about my grip on reality.
