Don't cry for movies but that ASPCA commercial with Sarah McLaughlin makes me want too

I change the channel when those come on. There's something, I don't know....a bit despicable about that tactic, imo.

It's like that goddamn De Sica who throws a little kid + puppy/doggie in every flick to just rip you to pieces.

Now that you mention it, add to the list:

The Bicycle Thieves
Umberto D
Germany, Year Zero (I defy anyone to stay straight with this one)
La Strada

uh fuck: Amelie. Hell, I tear-up about 10 times during that one.

Ghost and Up. There are some other ones, but nothing 'that' sad. A.I. was more depressing as hell, slit my wrists now than sad.

The first 10 min of UP was the saddest Ive felt during a movie in a decade. No tears though.

Grave of the Fireflies has come really close to making me bawl, but mostly because it's so sad

The closest I ever came to shedding tears during a movie was at the end of Marley & Me. I have no idea why... movies almost NEVER affect me on an emotional level.

I saw this in the movies with two kids, and tears were streaming down my face. It took me back to when I had to put my cat down. :'(

Whenever I saw a Star Wars movie in the theater, I teared up right when the opening Crawl started.

[edit]I also tear up when Spock dies in Star Trek II.

I was fighting back tears at the end of the new King Kong movie.

For some reason the scene in "The Quick and the Dead" where the little girl accidentally shot her father while trying to shoot the rope around his neck choked me up a bit.

That, and when they all get on the boat gets me.

Life is Beautiful - generally depressing overall, but ending is pretty sad

The last of the Mohicans and Pan's Labyrinth also has some sad endings if I remember correctly.

I used to be pretty uptight, but I actually cry at a lot of movies now. It feels good to be able to get in touch with my emotions in a way that I didn't used to be able to do. If someone thinks that makes me less of a man, they're not the kind of person whose opinion I would value highly anyway.

One of the saddest movies I've ever seen is Windaria. I love that movie, but I just can't watch it very often. The ending...sigh...I want to cry right now, just thinking about it, and I haven't watched it in about five years.
