Great thread.

Field of Dreams - "Dad...wanna have a catch?"

Old Yeller - Travis having to shoot Old Yeller, Fess Parker talking to him about it at Old Yeller's grave.

Marley & Me - When Marley has to be put down. (I have a 13 year old dog and I know this time is coming for her soon...and I dread it.)

Saving Private Ryan - Old Ryan at the cemetery...at beginning and end.

Rudy - "Who's the wild man now?" (agree with previous poster though...Fuck ND!)

Titanic - The Strausses holding each other in bed while the band is playing Nearer My God to Thee.

Band of Brothers - Capt. Winter's speech at the end..."I'm not a hero...but I served in a company of them."

Forest Gump - Jenny dies

Shenandoah - Jimmy Stewart at his wife's grave..."If I just knew what you were thinking about all this Martha."

Stand By Me - the ending..."I never had any friends as an adult like I had when I was 12. Jesus, does anyone?" Major truth there.

The Champ - Ricky Schroeder's scene "Wake Up Champ" scene at the end. Also...scene with Ricky and Jon Voight in stands..."You know what you are? You're a pain in the ass...that's what you are."

Bambi- Bambi's mother dies.

Dumbo - Dumbo's mom cradling him in her trunk with "Baby Mine" song playing.

It'a a Wonderful Life - "No man is a failure who has friends."

Brian's Song - Brian to Joy in the final scene "Who'da believed it Joy...who'da ever believed it."

I just listed Road To Perdition for this reason... it gets me too, must be fucked up psychologically.

Dude I cried when he lost Wilson. That was his only friend and I thought he was going to die at the time. Wilson, Wilson!

This.

I don't think I cried when Wallace was shot but that was a very hard scene to watch and it shook me up for days.

I cry at Miracle when he's skating around the ice looking for his dad.

I really only cry at dorky things, and I'm probably the only girl I know who isn't impressed by "The Notebook."

--When Angel dies in "Rent"
--Dumbledore's death in Half-Blood Prince
--Dobby in Deathly Hallows part 1
--the entire Second Battle of Hogwarts in Deathly Hallows part 2, especially Lupin & Tonks and Fred
--Not a movie, but the ending of LOST

And the Toy Story 3 scene that got me was when they all started holding hands in the incinerator. I cried the first time I saw Glory and Forrest Gump, but once I knew it was coming, it didn't hit me as hard.

When I was about 6 there was an episode of Highway to Heaven that involved Micheal Landon befriending a Homeless special needs teenager. Don't remember what led to the conversation but the kid explains to Micheal about his home life and how once he told his dad he loved him and then hit him which led to him running away. Make all the jokes you want but that scene haunts me to this day!

In a tears of joy sort of way... The Natural

when the final home run is hit... and the ball is traveling thru the air. The audience isn't sure whether he dies or not, until the ball is caught and Roy is playing catch with his son.

Maybe a film not well known around here A real roller coaster ride of emotions.

The scene of them in the stands gets me just as much as the ending because they are reuniting in that one. Makes me think of my relationship with my own Dad and how much I miss him since his passing.

I Am Legend: when Will Smith has to put his dog down.....sad moment

Braveheart: final moments of William Wallace

The Last Samauri: The final charge against the howitzer and the death of Katzimoto.

And my personal favorite.....Little Giants......the look on Brian Kelly's face gets me every time

Good choice. That part always gets me too. I could pick so many spots in that series that have the potential to get me going...
