    A few.

    Terms of Endearment, when Debra Winger (Emma) is saying goodbye to her boys.
    Stepmom, when Julia Roberts is describing the day when Anna one day gets married, and her fears that she will be missing her mom so much. Susan Sarandon tells her that she fears that she wont miss her at all.
    The Basketball Diaries, when Jim is begging outside the apartment door begging his mother to give him money.
    The Champ, obviously little Rocky Schroder begging Champ to wake up. Probably the first time I remember crying during a movie.

    Many that are mentioned here and, most recently, Ender's Game.
    I looked like a hot mess coming out of that Theater.

    No film made me cry before my son came along - having kids ruined movies for me.
    The worst for me was "The Road" when the fella died leaving his son alone. He said that the boy could still talk to him in his imagination after he's gone - and the thought of ever having to say that to my son still makes me well up.

    I've cried after Titanic before, but now I only watch the first 2 hours. The boat sinks and everyone dies, the end lol. I can get really emotional during most movies. I almost cried during Catching Fire, How to Train your Dragon, etc.

    But the ones that get me EVERY time:

    Moulin Rouge (I watch that on purpose if I need to cry)
    Armageddon

    Ok I asked my husband he said : THE NOTEBOOK!!!!

    I have never seen the notebook..... maybe I should see it lol

    The Notebook or PS I Love you...Also nearly every episode of Band of Brothers

    I completely forgot about PS. I Love You. Wow. I was laying in bed one night and was browsing the on demand movies and just picked this one randomly... I ended up bawling through half the d*mn movie!

    The only thing about Armageddon that made me cry was that I felt sorry for myself having to watch it.

    Field of Dreams. If that doesn't make a guy cry, you have no soul. Fact.

    Hachi a Dog's Tate with Richard Gere - OMG! So glad I was not out in public when I saw this. It's not about a dying dog (Marley & Me) - It's different.

    Taking Chance with Kevin Bacon - very moving.

    im a chick and not much makes me cry (unless its with animals) but i couldn't even watch the trailer for that movie without bawling.

    Oh damn, did somebody bring up Hachi? NEVER watching that movie again! I was crying and inconsolable for hours.

    i cry at every movie ahahaha

    but my fiance cried at toy story 3.. in the theater. at the midnight showing. but i was crying too. but when i saw him crying, i laughed, loudly.

    That's why it's hard for guys to show emotion. Stuff like this happening.

    I always cry when Doc has to leave the ballfield to save Karen in Field of Dreams. I am not a dude, but close.

    It always gets to me when he asks his deceased dad if he wants to have a game of catch. It that doesn't get to every person, I don't know what would.

    "You died on a Saturday morning. And I had you placed here under our tree. And I had that house of your father's bulldozed to the ground. Momma always said dyin' was a part of life. I sure wish it wasn't. Little Forrest, he's doing just fine. About to start school again soon. I make his breakfast, lunch, and dinner every day. I make sure he combs his hair and brushes his teeth every day. Teaching him how to play ping-pong. He's really good. We fish a lot. And every night, we read a book. He's so smart, Jenny. You'd be so proud of him. I am. He, uh, wrote a letter, and he says I can't read it. I'm not supposed to, so I'll just leave it here for you. Jenny, I don't know if Momma was right or if, if it's Lieutenant Dan. I don't know if we each have a destiny, or if we're all just floating around accidental-like on a breeze, but I, I think maybe it's both. Maybe both is happening at the same time. I miss you, Jenny. If there's anything you need, I won't be far away. "

    Forest Gump.
  • ANY movie where a dog or animal gets killed. Turner and Hooch, Old Yeller, I Am Legend, Hachi... I WILL NOT SEE Marley & Me because there's no point.

    Braveheart

    The Notebook

    Up

    The Green Mile

    Gran Torino
  • The most emotional movie I've ever watched is no doubt Mystic River
    Sean Penn is awesome in this movie.

    The pain of losing a child is unimaginable.
