Fess up, guys, what movie made you cry?

The first Land Before Time, first movie i ever cried to and still get misty eyed watching it now

The Red Turtle - Lots of very moving scenes about death, love, parenting, and grieving. I just became a father and this one stung a lot.

Requiem For A Dream - Once Harry sees Marion on the pier for the last time at the end of the movie and he wakes up crying in the hospital. Cue the waterworks. Saw it in theaters, I heard a few sniffles as the credits rolled.

The Queen's Gambit, when Beth views the bulletin board of newspaper clippings.

There are some great picks in this thread:

Old Guy 75: An Ozu reference! Awesome! Setsuko Hara is a goddess. I love Tokyo Story but Late Spring is even better. Especially at the end when the widowed father has convinced his loyal daughter to get married, which leaves him glad for her happiness but completely alone.

Coach & Avocado's Number: Tender Mercies is Duvall's best role. Nevermind Apocalypse Now or anything else.

Seattle Prattle: Kurosawa! Ikiru! The extended flashback scene at Wantanabe's funeral is total greatness. So is McCabe and Ms. Miller. I love the soft focus way it was shot like an old sepia-tone daguerreotype. Beatty's McCabe is classic, his uneducated cockiness, his frontier gumption or whatever. The gunfighter scene with Keith Carradine is moving and sad. And Terrence Malick is definitely my favorite director. The shot in Days of Heaven of a heron flying low over a wheat field at sunset, which dissolves into a closeup of two young women walking and talking in the same field, feels very real, like memory. The little girl narrator (Linda Mainz) is perfect. I love The Thin Red Line, I cry at it and I've seen it 20 times. "What's this war at the heart of Nature?...In this world, a man...himself...ain't nothin'...we're living in a world that's blowin' itself to Hell as fast as it can arrange it...the only a Man can do in situation like that is find something that's his and hold onto it...This great evil...how'd it get into the World? From what root, what seed did it grow? Who's doin' this...who's killin' us? Robbing us of life and light, mocking us with the sight of what we might have known?"

My Picks:

The Thin Red Line

Dersu Uzala

Sansho The Bailiff

La Strada (Anthony Quinn at the end alone at night on the beach. Holy Christ its sad!)

L'important C'est D'aimer

The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance (John Wayne drunk & suicidal burning his house down.)

Come and See and Ivan's Childhood (Two Russian films about WW2 from the vantage point of children.)

Also, saw “Mask” mentioned previously and kept thinking it was the Jim Carrey bit. Then I remembered the Cher flick and I’m still mad my mom subjected me to that as like an 8 year old.

Also, not a movie, but the episode with Fry’s dog on Futurama absolutely broke me.

Excellent call!

Not quite, but almost, Schindler's list when all the descendants came and gave him a rock. Lotta rocks.

This one really ripped me apart:

Pearl Harbor - Danny Dies, "You're going to be father."
