OH my gosh, don't even remind me. There are so many weepy Captain Picard moments for me. *sniffle* And that is a great episode by the way.
social_chic, you nailed one of mine on the head. Deep Impact makes me bawl like a nutcase every time I watch it, and that's one of the parts. I also can't stand when Elijah wood has to get on the bus without her...I can't stand when Tea Leoni gives up her seat for Beth and Beth's daughter.
Little Women is one of those movies that make me bawl all the way through. Not just the sad, but the many happy parts all the way through that movie. I love it when Marmie reads their father's letter at the beginning of the movie, and when she has to say goodbye to them to go see him in Washington Hospital. Ah, it all just kills me.
I cried bitterly at the end of Forrest Gump, when he's at his wife's grave and starts to cry. I cried when he goes in to sit down with his little son for the first time...when Bubba dies....yeah. That's another one of those 'cry all the way through it' movies.
I cry in Serenity, but not where you would think. Not when 'it' happens, but later, when they pan over those faces on the stones, with that music, and everyone surrounding Zoe....*blubber* I also get all choked up during Mal's 'love' speech. It's just so great.
Return of the King is so full of bawling spots...but the one that gets me EVERY TIME is the charge of the Rohirrim. Theoden's speech, he crashes spear on spear with all of his riders and then BAM! Off they go! It kills me.

I have that episode saved I love it so much! I cry every single time! My husband just laughs at me! When he(Picard) realizes whats happened at the end I just want to hold him!

That's "The Inner Light". The one I mentioned above. It was just absolutely heartbreaking.

I need to echo the cries of Return of the King. The first time I saw it, I cried starting about when Merry and Pippin got separated, and didn't really stop until half an hour after the film. (I was also sleep-deprived and had spent nearly 8 hours in the theatre at that point)
Others:
The Pianist - I bawl when he sits down for the Nazi dude. Gladiator, Amadeus - Death scenes. Les Choristes - the farewell notes. Oh goodness, do I cry at that part.

Little Women is a movie that gets me everytime, too. The scene where Beth is dieing, and comforts Jo frickin kills me. I HATE Claire Danes and her gyrating lower lip, but I still cant help but bawl.
I also cant seem to help but cry when the father dies in "The Lion King". I remember watching it with this little kids I was babysitting, and they made fun of me mercilessly for tearing up at that part. Little bastards.
Any book by Barbara Kingsolver is a pretty much garenteed to make me cry. Especially "The Poisonwood Bible".

When I'm alone I cry. When I'm not, I rarely do, although I'm getting better.
-Nobody Knows, a Japanese film about a family of children abandoned by their mother. I watched it on my Birthday last year. It's NOT a Birthday film, although very good. I wept in the theatre. -Serenity (I sniffled in the theatre. Later that evening, I sobbed.) -Amadeus (I actually didn't cry. I watched it with my parents and I was so deeply affected that I didn't cry. I was angry at my parents for 'making' me watch it. But a few days later I sat down to practice my Mozart and teared up. So, yeah.) -Various West Wing Episodes (Yup) -The Return of the King (This varies with my mood) -Goodbye Mr. Chips - West Side Story. The second time around. I honestly didn't really "get" it when I saw it as a child.

Narnia, I was sniffling at the same spot in Serenity (not Mal's love speech, but the stones). When "it" happened it was just sort of blank shock . . . like, "huh? No, that can't be."
I echo Return of the King, Frodo's goodbye. The Grey Havens just kills me every single time I read the book. (followed by a teary read of "Bilbo's Last Song.") It's like I'm saying farewell to Middle Earth, too.
But I cry at sappy commercials, so really it doesn't take much for me to consider it a tearjerker!

Speaking of Japanese movies, what about Grave of the Fireflies or After Life? The first of those made me cry harder, although it felt a little more manipulative. After Life, on the other hand, felt much more real, and left me not in despair so much as with a contented, cathartic release. I've got to respect a movie that opens me up emotionally in such an honest way.
Also, Harold and Maude has one of the best endings I've ever seen on film. To let an audience grieve and then turn it around at the last second from pain to joy in one move of the camera... if only all movies could end that well.

W;t, where Vivian's teacher comes to visit her in the hospital and reads her Runaway Bunny, interjecting it with literary criticism. And how she stops doing it eventually and Vivian falls asleep. I love how childlike Vivian has become as she gets close to death.
I also tear up a bit when the nurse gives her a popsicle.

Oh, no. Please write the whole name of the movie, I'm begging you. Now I'm going to have to spend 15 minutes trying to figure out which of all the millions of movies that have ever been made start with "W;t". Then when I come up blank I'm going to have to meticulously re-read all the previous posts to see if it's already appeared in this thread. Then I'll have to go on Google and IMDB trying to find a movie with a character named Vivian whose teacher reads "Runaway Bunny." Please tell me what "W;t" stands for while I still have some of the day left to devote to other enterprises.

It's a pun on "Wit" (you may find it there), because there's one scene where a semicolon becomes of utmost importance to the meaning of a metaphysical holy sonnet. Posts: 1903 | Registered: Sep 2003

It's called "W;t"? Pronounced "doubleyou semicolon tee"? That's a heck of a name. I can't find it on IMDB, but I guess I'll take your word for it.

IMDb link for "Wit" (I'm not sure about the semi-colon. It doesn't show up in the official title on the IMDb page.)

Sorry to sound snarky. I just hate it when people abbreviate things, and I assumed that's what you'd done. Finally made me snap, but for no reason as it turns out.

I have to agree with everyone who's said the dog episode of Futurama. I bawl like a baby every time I see the end of that.
I cry a lot. Recently it's been the end of The Corpse Bride, the part with Cedric's dad in Goblet of Fire, and the part of A Muppet Christmas Carol where the Ghost of Christmas Future shows Scrooge the Cratchett family after Tiny Tim dies.

I don't know what it says about me, but it was about my fifth viewing of Matilda before I didn't cry from start to finish.

I didn't cry, but my wife's grandmother was in tears with "Ice Age" when it appears that (**spoiler**) the tiger died. She almost turned off the video, but we made her wait out the happy ending. Her eyes were puffy until he showed back up.

Same here.
Remember the Titans is a killer. I LOVE it when they win, I cry when thy come together, when Julius meets Bertram's mother and hugs the stuffing out of her...that's really a great movie.

Okay, this is really silly, but at the end of the Mummy Returns, when Imhotep's eyes are all filled with tears, that makes me so sad. I want to scoop him up and give him a hug.
I also thought the ending of Hannibal was pretty sweet.
I'm such a sucker for men of questionable moral standing.
EDIT: Okay. Maybe not just "questionable moral standing" so much as "rather evil" in these cases. But I also loved Ep III Anakin, too. Sure, he turned to the Dark Side, but he just wanted to save his wife. Awwwwww.

*cries* I can't believe I forgot about Finding Neverland. I cry all the way through that one too. Well, not really, but the ending really does slay me. It starts when he comes to visit her during the opening night of his own play and they sit and talk that evening. He holds her hand, but that's all the physical contact they have...though she finally does admit to wishing there could be more between them. Then I cry all through the part where they're watching the play in the house (it's making me cry just to think about that) all the way to the end when he talks to Peter on the park bench. Darn that little boy for having such expressive and tear-filled eyes!!
My favorite line in that movie is at the end when he says "I loved your daughter very much." *sigh* It's wonderful.
