What Film Makes You Tear Up?

Just caught the tail end of Forest Gump, and realized that film has that majestic power over me.

What film makes you tear up, if any?
 
The film that you peel from an onion,... I tell everytime I deal with that film, I cannot help but have tears in my eyes.

Nope. Good scene, but it's just a movie.

There are a lot of things wrong with that statement. First off, SPR Ryan is inspired by a true story; and specific details aside, we all know that WWII was real, veterans are real, many events depicted really happend. Second, boiling it down to "it's just a movie"...well, anything can be boiled down to its simplest form and seem irrelevant. The Constitution's just some words on a piece of paper. Beethoven's 9th Symphony is just a series of pitches. Not comparing SPR to either of these things, but just demonstrating my point.
 
The only movie I can think of from the past few years that got me choked up was the end of Brokeback Mountain. It really had nothing to do with the gay stuff, just how sad and lonely Heath Ledger's character was, and then his daughter stopping by.

If Cast Away had ended with him drifting on the ocean I think it would have.
 
Big Fish. My Dad passed away when I was 15 and that movie really hits home, love it.

Also, Secondhand Lions just because it's awesome.

yup...

Lilo and Stitch does it too. And Armegeddon... Can't explain that one. But Lilo and Stitch has been studied by numerous universites and the consensus is that children of divorce relate to it in surprising ways...

 
Blade Runner. Roy Batty's last words, "I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I've watched c-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those ... moments will be lost in time, like tears...in rain. Time to die." The replicants showed more traits of humanity than the humans who created them.
 
NPH dieing in Guantanamo Bay had me going bawls to the walls.

Liam Neeson receiving a ring from the Jews in Schindler's list was a very moving scene for me as well.

I loved Big Fish.

But for sadness? Grave of Fireflies.
