Born Free.
I love anything to do with animals, but this gets me because it's based on a true story, plus John Barry's score is exquisite. The bit where they leave Elsa to fend for herself and then when they finally find her again she is starving and barely able to stand gets me blubbering, Then at the end when she brings her cubs. Guaranteed blub fest every time!
The end of Turner and Hooch. Tom Hanks as a detective and his dog helper. I won't say what happens but t cry every time!
The Bicycle Thieves. Pretty much all the way through and certainly at the end. And as it is a socialist realist film you do not get the sense that your emotions are being manipulated as with something like The Green Mile.
- Dead Poets Society. "Oh Captain my Captain". Yes, I know it's blatant manipulation, but it does it for me.
- City Of Gold. Just one depressing and heart-wrenching scene after another. Kids killing kids. I've only watched it the once.
- Schindler's List. The girl in the red coat. Goethe killing the small boy for sport, and because he can. The shower scene. Goethe killing a line of men, then his gun jams on the last guy, so he re-cocks and fires again over and over and you're just waiting - as is the man - for the bullet that you know is going to come eventually. Again, I've only watched it once.
I remember going to see The Champ (Ricky Schroeder version) back in the day when it was released, bawled my eyes out. I was laughing at the same time as I watched rows of people passing tissues along to the weeping men in the cinema

I dressed up as the girl in the red coat for Halloween one year

LOL. I'm slightly hesitant to ask, but how did you ensure people knew who you were and not just someone wearing a red coat because it was cold? Did you put your hair in ringlets? (You didn't have someone pull you along in a cart on top of a load of dead bodies did you ?! )

I had a grey wig, grey top, grey skirt, grey tights and black shoes, and face was all grey and wore black gloves
The Railway Children, the scene when Jenny Agutter see's the shadowy figure emerging from the mist and cries, "Daddy oh my Daddy" It gets me every time, no matter how many times I watch it.
Somewhere in Time, Christopher Reeve and Jane Seymour, one of the greatest, and most underrated weepies of all time.
This Happy Breed, my all time favourite British film about a South London family between the Wars.
'Sophie's Choice', the obvious scene, just can't watch it again;
The end scenes from 'Never Let me go';
The kid on the beach in 'Under the Skin"; and
The ending of 'East of Eden'.
Toy Story 3 when Buzz, Woody and co are slipping into the incinerator. The end of Les Miserables - I had to stuff my scarf into my mouth to stop myself howling.

Me too for all these. I cried so much during The Champ I had dehydration. It's rare when I don't cry in films though tbh... joyous moments, sad moments, exciting moments, triumphant moments, I'm gone. I can cry in a rousing action movie.
But films that really really really got me going are:
Gorillas in the Mist - harrowing, I'll never watch it again
Lovers of the Arctic Circle - perfect depiction of romantic love
ET - I want the story to end within 5 minutes, with ET's parents not leaving him accidentally
LOTR The Return of the King - my tears started at the epic lighting of the beacons scene and pretty much didn't let up until the end credits
The Hours - cinema full of women, not a dry eye in the house. Several of us took until the end credits were over to compose ourselves
I'm not a girly girl who loves romcoms but there's some classic weepies, usually about female friendship, that destroy me like Beaches, Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistlestop Cafe, and Steel Magnolias.
A.I. - I found this film particularly upsetting, I started crying pretty much at the beginning of the film and did not stop even after the final credits. I've had the DVD on my shelf for years but can't bring myself to watch it again, found it incredibly harrowing.
Bambi - how come nobody has mentioned this one yet?? It's old, you know exactly what is going to happen but "Mother, Mother" and "You're Mother can't be with you anymore" ............ SOB!!
Seeking a Friend for the End of the World - I did not expect it to be so sad. It was billed as a 'comedy' and a 'drama', but boy, it had me in tears. Especially when The Hollies - The Air That I Breathe played. Couldn't stop crying.
Jeez I cry at most things nowadays but I guess the worst films for me are...
Marley and Me - heartbreaking
E.T. Can still make me blubber even now.
Eight Below
Steel Magnolias
Terms of Endearment
The Green Mile
Stand By Me
Beaches
The Color Purple
There are so many more but these particular ones really make me sob like a baby

Truly, Madly, Deeply - Jamie looking out of the window at the end
Brokeback Mountain - the shirt in the cupboard....
I'm going just thinking about them!

The Colour Purple. When she finally sees her children and the end. I'm welling up just thinking about it.
Bambi. I had to be taken out of the cinema in hysterics when Bambi's mum died. My dad never took us to the pictures again...
Imitation of Life,
Of Mice and Men - so, so sad.
Dumbo - Chained up Mrs Jumbo cradling Dumbo while 'Baby Mine' is sung. Ooh, a little pricking behind the eyes just thinking of it.
Gallipoli - well the end, obviously.
The moment I stop sobbing at that will be the moment my heart has officially turned into a block of ice
The end of Toy Story 3 is a real sob-fest too; growing up has never seemed so sad!
Marley and Me - heartbreaking
E.T. Can still make me blubber even now.
