Toy Story 3: pretty much the entire movie, damn you Pixar, damn you nostalgia!

Up!: obviously the opening scene :'(

Karate Kid/Rocky II: tears of JOY when they finally win at the end.

The Perks Of Being A Wallflower

Spoiler

The breakdown scene, every single time

Mud

When Ellis confronts Mud about the fact that he's a liar

Don't remember which scenes though, only saw it once, waiting for BR.

The Grey

The reveal that

Spoiler

Ottway's wife bit it along with him preparing

The Place Beyond The Pines

Multiple times but can't pinpoint scenes in particular, it's more of an overall thing.

For TV shows, on the top of my head: LOST, many times, the ending drained me.


I have much more of an emotional connection to movies than necessarily thinking in terms of pure quality (although a lot of my top movies are extremely good movies). Movies are my emotional release I'd say.

 

[Schlosser85]

The Green Mile

 

[eikerir]

Forgot to mention that I ALMOST shed a tear during TWS when:

Spoiler

Peggy forgot she was talking to Steve and got emotional when seeing him "again". Very simple but powerful little moment.

 

[DCW]

The only movie that makes me cry every single time I see it.

 

[JJJ's Ulcer]

Just admit it.

The Grave of the Fireflies: Such a very sad and powerful animated movie.

Haven't seen it.

Pan's Labyrinth: The ending.

YES! I teared up. Definitely one of my favorite films.

Armageddon:

Spoiler

Harry's sacrifice.

No. I don't cry at over-produced Michael Bay crap. Felt absolutely no investment in Bruce Willis' character.

The Dark Knight Rises:

Spoiler

Batman's sacrifice.

No.

Spoiler

And he didn't sacrifice himself, as revealed 5 minutes later. Nah, I like superhero movies, but they never really make me cry.

Up: the opening.

No, but it was emotional.

Toy Story 3: the ending.

A little choked up, but no actual tears.

Iron Giant:

Spoiler

The alien robot sacrificing himself and saying "Superrrrman".

Damn, I just spoiled myself. Haven't seen it, but I keep hearing it's great, so I need to get it.

Old Yeller: Need i say more?

Haven't seen it. I know it's one of those classics, but having lost two dogs myself (one to a car), can't watch anything dog-related.

Ghost: The end got to me when i saw this in theaters as a kid.

Choked up, maybe. It's been so long I can't remember.

ET: w

Spoiler

hen ET died then came back to life and the ending.

No.

The Muppets take Manhattan: Saying Goodbye scene.

No.

Frozen:

Spoiler

Anna freezing and everyone thought she was dead.

Definitely emotional. But it was resolved pretty quickly. Would have been ballsier if they

Spoiler

left her in that state.

Terminator 2:

Spoiler

T-800 saying goodbye and sacrificing himself making John sad, i was 10 when i saw the movie in theaters and found it touching.

No. I think the original and Kyle Reese dying is much more emotional than T2 and Ahnuld as a re-programmed robot.

The Land Before Time: Littlefoot's mom's death, made me sad when i was 7 when i saw it in theaters.

So long ago, I have no idea. I don't think so.

Bambi: Seeing this movie in theaters in it's 88 re-issue made me cry when the mom died.

Maybe a bit as a kid.

The Elephant Man: moved me as a kid when i saw it on HBO as i felt how bad that poor man was and the ending got to me.

Never seen it.

[Hyde]

[Bim]

Off the top of my head, these are the movies that make me cry, no matter how many times i watch them:
- Marley and Me (i had a dog that got sick like Marley and died one christmas morning of gastric dilatation volvulus... this movie just hits home. The scene when Marley dies just reminds me of the last time i saw my dog before they took her to the vet. She didnt come back )
- Dead Poets Society ( When Neil dies and when the kids stand up on top of their desks in the end)
- The Green Mile (the ending)
- The Notebook (the last couple of scenes)
- Terms of Endearment (When the mom tries to explain to her kids that she's gonna die and the young one screams that he hates her)
- Beaches (when Barbara Hershey`s character dies and the whole montage with the song Wind Beneath my Wings playing lol)
- Moulin Rouge! (it didnt matter that they warned me at the start of the movie Satine dies, i cry anyways when she does)
- Up (Those first minutes are just brutal)
- The Lion King (when Mufasa dies)
- Schindler's List (when Liam breaks down in the end)
- The Impossible (the ending, when they all realize just how lucky they were, oh! and also the phone call scene just kills me).
- E.T. (when ET "dies" and also when he finally goes home )
- Bambi (when the mom dies)
- Big Fish (the end sequence)
- My Girl (when
- It's a Wonderful Life (the ending)
- Out of the Furnace (the bridge scene)
- Finding Neverland (i'd say i'm a mess most of the movie, but specially towards the end lol).
- What Dreams May Come (too many to mention lol)
- Forrest Gump (when he talks to Jenny's grave, ugh)
- Beginners (when Christopher's character dies)
- Braveheart (FREEDOM!)

[ ending of Lost

Oh my god, i cant even listen to that track at this point, it reminds me of the scene and i get emotional lol. As far as tv shows go, i also get misty eyed during 24, season 8 finale and i cry my eyeballs out with ER, when doctor Green dies.
