Why do people keep saying this? I've seen the movie and nobody died?

Oh oh oh, wait I know what scene you are talking about!, the heat lamp.

That bastard Spielberg

Schindler's List: The scene at the car where he says he could have got more and the scene at the grave with the stones.

SPR: Bridge scene where Miller dies and the final scene at the grave.

AI: You should have to sign a release form at the video store certifying that you don't suffer from depression to rent this.

also The Pianist, when Szpilman is playing Chopin for the Nazi captain in the abandoned house

Damn....:(
I've never seen Schindler's List, just clips, such as that one. :(
Kind of a double-whammy at once, not only the selflessness, but that such things as that had to be done at all, that humanity has chosen to be, and continues to be, so inexplicably cruel to itself so as to require such acts.

Damnit, while I didnt cry, the closest I came was the end of Braveheart. No one else has mentioned that so clearly Im a pansy.

October Sky. At their last flight in the movie, their father shows up to watch it. His son lets him push the button to launch the rocket. That gets me every single time.

Someone beat me to it but the end of Life is Beautiful. I pretty much forgot the movie was in Italian.

Update: Just watched "Jack the Bear". The little 3 year old in that movie looks ALOT like my baby son. If you watch the movie it's very sad. My chin was a'quiverin'.

Never heard of that movie -- sounds depressing I don't want to watch a movie about some little boy that probably ends badly :(

Brian's Song makes me cry, though... Tough to not cry through that

Just off the top of my head... Amores Perros. that movie is SAD. oh, and All Quiet on the Western Front is probably the saddest war movie of all time. Movies don't usually seem to get to me though, books seem to make me cry much more easily.

oh yeah, and when I was little I would cry so hard when Mufasa died in Lion King.

Platoon - The whole village scene, and when Elias is running trying to get to the chopper and throws his arms up in the air
I Am Sam - I only saw it once but I remember tearing in a lot of the scenes

Band of Brothers, when the Americans liberated the few remaining survivors of the hellish nazi death camp and were ordered to keep the prisoners there as they were all so close to death that eating normal sized rations could kill them. If I recall correctly, it was an American of German descent that translated this to the prisoners. Essentially, the liberators seemed for that moment in time to became the enslavers. I don't think I have what it takes to do that. It was one of the most horrible sights I had ever seen.

Another one that gets me is the entire movie "Requiem For a Dream." I feel so horrible for Sara Goldfarb every time I watch that. In the beginning, when Harry is stealing the TV and all the way through towards the end, when she's locked up in the mental ward getting shock treatments.

Walk to Remember, when the guy hugs his dad etc. My dad and I don't really have that good of a relationship, hes always yelling at me for stupid stuff but hes cool otherwise.

This thread is almost making me cry! :p

Too many movies to list, but AI, Life is Beautiful, American Beauty, Saving Private Ryan, Tears of the Sun, and The Matrix(kinda tears of Joy when Neo and team realize he was the One after doubt had set in). Many times watching Lost I have teared up, same with Stargate SG1/Atlantis(Dr Becket's death), probably cried most during the Star Trek TNG when Cpt Picard lives a lifetime with a long dead planet's inhabitants when a satellite links to his mind.

The part of I am Legend where Will Smith is weeping while asking the mannequin to speak to him. The movie was alright and I don't think Will Smith is more than a medioacre actor, but the desperation and despondence of Smith's character at that moment was overwhelming.
