United 93...because you know what is going to happen but you still wish it was different. The last 5 minutes or so of that movie reduces me to a sobbing pile of goo.
 
Doctor: [Champ has just died] I'm sorry.
T.J.: [Georgie and Jackie start to cry, TJ is shocked] No! Champ! No! Champ. Is he out? Is he out? What's the matter, Champ? Champ, wake up! Wake up! Wake - wake up!
[kisses his head]
T.J.: Champ, wake up, Champ! Hey, don't sleep now. We got to go home. Got to go home, Champ.
[Georgie collapses into sobs]
T.J.: Georgie. Don't cry. Georgie.
[TJ goes to the doctor]
T.J.: Mister, help me. Wake him up! Wake him!
Doctor: We're all real sorry.
T.J.: Please, wake him up!
Doctor: Let's go outside.
T.J.: No, no! I don't want to! I don't want to!
[runs to Jackie]
T.J.: Jackie! Wake him up! Wake him!
Jackie: TJ, please.
T.J.: I want Champ!
Jackie: TJ...
T.J.: I want Champ!
Jackie: TJ. Please, TJ, listen to me. He's gone. He's gone, son. He's gone.
T.J.: [shakes his head and backs away from Jackie] No. No! He's not gone! He's not! He's not!
Jackie: [Annie comes in, a smile on her face until she sees Champ and Jackie trying to calm TJ] Please.
T.J.: He is not dead! He is not dead! I want Champ!
Jackie: Please, listen to me, son.
T.J.: I want Champ!
Jackie: TJ, please, listen to me!
T.J.: I want Champ! Champ! He is not gone!
Jackie: [he and the doctor try to drag TJ away from Champ] Come on, son. Come on. TJ.
Annie: TJ.
[TJ walks towards her and hugs her, holding on tightly as he sobs]

I remember seeing it in the theater twice. Both times I saw it people were literally screaming and sobbing, and walking out of the theater was like a funeral procession. I remember a man in Marine class A uniform, a sergeant I think sitting a couple seats down who at the end of the movie with tears streaming down his face standing at attention and saluting the screen, then he very slowly walked out of the movie theater. Made me cry even harder at that point.

Easily one of the best movies I've ever watched.
 
I'm going to have to go with Bridge to Terabithia. Total WTFBBQ the last 20min of the movie. Wasn't expecthing this from a kids movie.

The first part of UP is also easily a contendor. I saw it without my wife, and I told her not to watch it, as she would end up crying within the first 10 minutes.

I second grave of the fireflies. I teared up during this movie. I own the DVD and have only watched it once because of effing sad it is.
 
Grave of the Fireflies is tied with Saving Private Ryan. I had the (mis?)fortune of seeing it opening night with a bunch of survivors from D-Day. Watching a theater full of grown men in their uniforms bawling really gets to you.

I can't watch it any more. Knowing the outcome, I can't sit through it anymore. I will never get rid of my copy though a my daughter needs to watch it when she is older to get an appreciation of how the "loosing side" was affected during the war.
 
Wizard of Oz.

Dare I Dream

Maybe it is tied with Planet of the Apes????

"You stole his Braaaiiin!!!"

Lord of the flies???
That wierd movie where the boys take over the island and use the glasses to make fire???

It is a quintessential war movie.. it made the deepest impact IMHO.. than any war movie ever made. It really breaks my heart.. how a tyrannical regime can be capable of destroying the lives of millions of people.. a truly sad reality. 🙁
 
It has to be Revenge of the Sith for me. Hearing Darth Vader let out that heartwrenching "NOOOOO" for the first time was one of the most emotional experiences of my life. George Lucas has to be one of the most underrated filmmakers out there today.

I hope to god you are joking. Everyone in the theater laughed their asses off at that scene.

Also check out Germania, Anno Zero. Filmed in Berlin a year after the carpet bombing of the city and the end of the war.

Amazing film. One of Rossellini's greats.
