The dog scene was the one, or rather the momory of, that had me back in tears after seeing it...

One scene that always seems to raise a lump in my throat is the pier scene in Falling Down -- not sure why.  Could be something in the characters reluctance for what they 'have' to do.  Neither wants this showdown, but it's inevitable.. That and you suddenly realise the true intentions of the guy you've been rooting for throughout the film -- how messed up he is and how sad the whole situation has become...  

Should also add Up to the list too. Never knew an animated movie could make me cry but the opening did.

And, of course, the opening of The Force Awakens when ..."A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away..." flashed on the screen. I was with my six year old, and when I was his age, my dad took me to see the original, so it was a very cool, special moment for me.

50/50 got me as well recently...but that could have also been caused by the fact that the hangover which I was at the time inflected by had left me feeling an emotional wreck...!

Some people have already mentioned a few good ones, so here are some that haven't been said:

Boys on the Side - Robin talks about her inevitable funeral from her hospital bed.

Fried Green Tomatoes - Ruth hears the story about the frozen lake from her best friend Edgie.

Simon Birch - Joe tells Simon he's the best friend he's ever had.

The Final Girls - Nancy sacrifices herself to save her real-life daughter.

Toy Story 3 - The toys accept their fate and join hands as they face the incinerator.

Okay - Titanic... no matter how often I see it.

And if you want to include TV...  Tyreese's death in the Walking Dead.  Every time I see it, it gets harder to handle.  (Sniff.)  

The ending of Her...AHHHHH!!! WHY DO I CARE SO MUCH ABOUT AN OPERATING SYSTEM!!!

The latest that came to mind was a great little film called Still Life. You've probably not seen it, but you could. And if you like good movies, you shall. Made me weep and puts many other movies to shame.

The Green Mile always gets me.

Inside Out was the last one, for sure. Definitely affected me big time throughout the film on a deeply personal level that at times had nothing to do with the plot of the film but the way it was being told. At the same time, I was definitely affected by how much the film made me feel connected to other people in the real world. Life is hard sometimes, and even more so, it's complex and ever-evolving, and the film did a fantastic job of not only showing what the experience is like but also how all the feelings one experiences have meaning, both individually and collectively. One of the few truly profound films I've seen as of late, and my favorite Pixar film by far.

Also, the ending of The Fly (1986). Probably several hundred views into it at this point, and it still packs a punch. One of the most underrated and yet IMO quintessential tragic love stories in history. Pretty sure some of you old cats already know where I stand on this masterpiece.

Wow, so many to choose from!

MIRACLE, when they count down the final seconds against the Russians.

The end of PAY IT FORWARD when they all come with the candles.

MYSTERY, ALASKA, when they put the puck on Bailey's grave.

Apparently I cry at hockey movies. There are lots more, just can't think of them at the moment.

I recently watched 'Still Life' and found myself chopping an onion at the end.  It's a cracking little movie too.

I've found myself crying a lot more the older I get.  The 'Senna' documentary gets me every time but I found myself sobbing like a little girl when I watched 'Derek', especially one episode (I think it's season 2, episode 5?)

Glad you liked Still Life, Alffy. A fine film. Dark but impressive.

I tried getting into Derek, if you pardon my phrasing, but I couldn't get with it. I think it's because I've met a few types like that along the way and that made it harder to be amused by it.

The Green Mile is one that still causes sniffles. It's one of those I end up noticing while flicking through. I immediately decide 'Nope, I can't watch this again,' then realise it's about the only thing any good that's on.

So I promptly sit through it to the end. Again. No doubt this will occur once more any day now. Bloody John Coffey. I really don't want see that French guy with the mouse getting fried for what seems twenty minutes again any time soon.

Dith Pran came out of a house, seeing Sydney Schanberg. When they embraced and listened to John Lennon's Imagine, I cried. The film is : The Killing Fields.
