thats funny! We watched a modern version of "merchant of Venice" in secondary school, (UK) and in the film someone was carrying a pigeon pie, like with pigeon heads sticking out. I was half asleep and absent mindedly said "oh, pigeon pie" and for 2 years everyone called me "pigeon pie" in an northern accent. Which in itself was odd, cos the school was in the midlands.
To Kill A Mocking Bird. I don't really cry at sad films cuz there fictional characters, but real injustice really gets me + Gregory Peck is FUCKING AWESOME! Oh and also Dances With Wolves, that was in a GCSE history clas, so I had to keep that under wraps.
"@Everyones_A_Critic: Aghh dude! Thats a new movie, spoilerise it for everyone who's not yet seen it why don't you? Damn."
I think we're thinking of different movies here. In the Name of the Father is from 1993 hahaha. And anyone who knows the true story it's based off of knows the ending. I didn't spoil anything.
I have a few movies that have made me quite tearful as the credits rolled. Recent movies that come to mind are...
The Mighty (1998) was a movie about two boys who unite to become virtually one. Its end left me weepy for a good five minutes.
The Waterdance (1992) was about a man who comes to terms with becoming a paraplegic after a car accident.
Bridge to Terabithia (2007) was a film I thought was about a Lion, Witch and Wardrobe-like story but was more like the above mentioned The Mighty.
King Kong (2005) I was shocked to find myself tearing up at the end of this movie. It really moved me in a way I did not expect. As a fan of the original, I was wary of a modern treatment, but it won me over completely.
Penny Serenade (1941) is a classic "tear jerker" but with two stellar actors their talents bring the source material a step above. I know this is not a recent movie but it still gets me every time.
Just to show my obsession that bit in Star Wars episode 3 where all the jedi are getting picked off that was sad as hell. Although I think castaway still wins.
Gladiator, Braveheart, Fellowship of the Ring, Transformers,(I only cried during that because I was really drunk and thought that the sunset in the background was beautiful).
" What Dreams May Come. When he goes to Hell and his wife doesn't recognize him...and he can't save her...that shit hurts, man.
Saving Private Ryan. At the end, when Pvt. Ryan looks at his wife in the graveyard and says "tell me I'm a good man, tell me I've lived a good life"...that shit hurts, man.
Terminator 2: Judgment Day. When Arnold lowers himself into the molten metal at the end...that shit hurts, man.
Those are the three that will guarantee tears.
"
I just finished Terminator 2: Judgment Day. I didn't cry but that part was real sad. It almost made me forget how funny Arnold was. Especially the quotes that weren't, "Hasta La Vista" Great Movie. I can't think of any because I haven't really watched any good one lately, but Seven Pounds almost got me. That ending really sucked for him.
The sadness in Kong's face as he's dying and is slowly slipping off of the tower really hit me somewhere. I teared up, and that's the only time that's ever happened since I was a small child.
I have a real hard time finding a copy of Grave of the Fireflies as I really want to watch it. I am getting really close to watching by another source that I have >_>
Up almost had me crying. For some reason, I always think about being a lonely old widower, alone in my large home that once supported a family. I can't even imagine having a constant partner for decades and having that person taken away in an instant. You're left to do the same old routine but without the most important part of your life. I hope I die first...
I'm probably going to be called a sissy for saying this but, Marley and Me mad me cry. The only reason is that I have dealt with the ending of the movie in my real life. Watching it remember me of that tragic memory of the past. *sadface* Also WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY back, I remember an episode of Pokemon when Ash wanted to leave Pikachu live with the wild Pikachus and that made me sad to. DAMN YOU POKEMON!!

I remember that episode! It did make me cry. Which I remember scored me a day of School for some reason, which was neat.
@JackiJinx: Click? 9/11? I don't see the correlation. Reign Over Me, however, is a different story.
Also, I almost forgot: I Am Legend, when Sam dies. She looks almost like my dog Momo, and Will Smith holding her and singing "Every Little Thing Is Gonna Be Alright" had the whole fucking theatre sounding like we just caught the cold. *sniffle sniffle* from EVERYONE. Not a dry eye to be seen. Will did a GREAT job in that scene.
I teared up during most of the powerful movies, like Shawnshank and Forrest Gump. But the movie that left the hardest impression was Into the Wild. I basicly stared at the end credits with a river going down my face.
