    Any movies where a dog dies does it for me. Can watch human tragedy and take it like the best of us but any film where the dog dies has me blawing. Recently Hachi and Marley and Me (especially Hachi!!) but even going back there the classics like Turner and Hooch ... ((Spoiler warning - although if you haven't seen Turner and Hooch you should be watching it right now!) Show me a man who didn't cry when Hooch dies and I'll show you a monster!

    The Iron Giant animated movie usually gives me a lump in the throat at the end and "something in my eye". The Lives of Others usually does the same.

    Cried like a baby and still do every time I watch them.

    A spanish movie called Pans Labyrinth,
    www.imdb.com/title/tt0457430/

    Also Garden State (Zach Braff is a god and Natalie Portman is hot!)

    I'll have to have an input here.

    Armageddon-every single time, the music has a part to play as well
    American History X
    Braveheart
    Michael Collins
    Lion King
    Black Hawk Down-It's actually more so the music, Leave no man behind, is the track I think

    And I don't think I have seen this one on here yet but Ladder 49 with Jooquin Phoenix. Tough to hold that back in the cinema with a bunch of lads!

    Apollo 13 does it for me.
    That 2 minute sequence when they SHOULD have come out of blackout....

    The Ken Mattingly character calling out....

    And again

    and again

    Then the tv commentator

    Cut to Mission Control, one more call from Mattingly

    Cut to the Lovell House

    Cut to the school where Jim Lovell's son is

    Cut to mission control again...

    Then Hallo Heuston!!! Cue Bedlam and Ed Harris, playing Gene Kranz a real old style all American boy wiping a tear...

    I saw a 'Making Of' documentary after seeing the film and you could STILL see quite clearly how even today it affects Kranz

    Always makes me tear up.... And was the first time i remember seeing Dad having a tear too!!!

    One of the few movies that ever made me cry was My Sister's Keeper. If it does not touch you are most probably dead!

    Senna - I think I never actually got to a full ball but I was welled up before the bloody thing even started - he was/is my hero.

    Marley and me - balled like a girl guide ( actually I posted this here before !)

    I welled up a bit myself during the week there. Never shed a tear, but there were bits where a blink would have done it (e.g. the entire Imola '94 segment)

    I know it has been mentioned already but not as much as I thought it would be but Forrest Gump was on Tv last week and I watched it for the first time in years. It's a brilliant film with such a different mix of emotions running through it. One minute I would be laughing out loud and the next my heart would sink and I would almost shed a tear at it. There is some serious tear jerking moments in it, one part that got to me was when Jenny came back in the end and Forrest asks her why she does'nt love him and he eventually says "I may not be a smart man but I know what love is"

    Never cried during a moving, but there were some that gave me a twist in the stomach and nearly jerked some tears

    The most recent one I can think of is The Blindside
