    And who could forget Armageddon, where Bruce Willis sacrifices himself to save his son-in-law-to-be?

    For me also;
    Dead Poet's Society: At the end where they all stand up on their desks.

    Waaaaaaah!


    I cried during "South Park, Bigger longer Uncut" too, especially during the Uncle... song. But that wasn't because I was sad.

    ROTJ - When the Rancor dies. :_| Malakili's tears just crank the faucet wide open. It's like watching the Star Wars version of Old Yeller.

    Godzilla: 1984 (1985 in America) - When the big Z bites it in the end. :_| It's like watching a big, radioactive mutant reptile version of Old Yeller.

    Hellraiser II: Hellbound - When we learn the heart-warming origins of Pinhead. Touching. :_|

    The Road Warrior - When Max's dog gets whacked. :_| More gut-wrenching than the Rancor's cold-blooded murder. :_| It's like watching the Australian version of Old Yeller.

    Old Yeller is definitely another one.

    And the previously mentioned scene from Armageddon. ("I wish I could be there to walk you down the aisle." :( )

    I don't think I've ever officially cried at a theater, but there are two scenes (in one movie!) where I came very close. Gandalf's fall (and the scenes immediately after) and Boromir's death scene in Fellowship of the Ring get me all emotional every time I see 'em.

    I have, however, cried while watching Contact on video. Of course, I was sick at the time, and rather emotionally fragile, but the end still gets me... "I believe her." Yay for Matthew McConaughey!

    This sucks! You guys have taken all the good ones!

    Well, when Matt Damon morphs from young Private Ryan to his older counterpoint at the cemetary and the whole story is tied together, the combination of the music and the unexpectedness of it just wiped me out the first time I saw it.

    There's so many. If a movie doesn't have at least one emotional moment in it, it's usually not much of a movie.

    Only one sequence in one film has ever caused me to break down, and that is the climax to Gallipoli, starring Mel Gibson and Mark Lee. Major Barton's speech, and Archie's last race are absolute heartbreakers. :_|

    When Luke burns his father. The music in that is so incredibly sad and you really start to feal for what Anakin Skywalker went through.

    I also cried once after the end of ESB. Again, its something about the music. Williams is a god!

    i don't think anyone has mentioned FORREST GUMP, at the end when forrest is at jeeny's grave talking to about little forrest. i cry all the time.

    in star wars, i haven't cried but when obi-wan and yoda die it is very emtional you know.

    and any movie that has an animal getting hurt or killed.

    Today when I was watching Rugrats In Paris,the part where Chuckie talks about how he wished he had a mommy had me a little choked up. When I was nine I cried when I saw The Muppets Take Manhattan,during the part where they break up and go their seperate ways becuase they couldn't get their play produced. The end scenes in ROTJ get me all tingled up in emotion when I think about them,but I don't really cry. Otherwise,I don't really cry at movies,even though I'm an emotional person.

    The end of Dead Poets Society always makes me cry...when they stand on top of the desks...and when the guy talks the gun out of his dad's desk and you hear the gunshot...

    1)The Green Mile- the end where John dies at the end; i was full of tears/

    2)Titanic- when the band plays for the last time, & practically the rest of ship sinking, i always get teary-eyed.

    3)Return of the Jedi:SE- the new ending always makes me cry.

    4)Terminator 2: Judgment Day- when Arnold is giving John Connor the 'thumbs up' right before he dies.

    the ending of Armageddon, where Willis sacrifices himself gets me a bit choked up.

    Whoo, I'm pretty emotional during movies but here are the ones that just made me bawl:

    The end of Fellowship of the Ring, at Boromir's death when he says to Aragorn: "I would have followed you, my brother...my captain...my king."

    After Bruce Willis stays behind in Armageddon, and his daughter speaks to him and is left with her hand on the TV screen.

    Pearl Harbor, when Josh Hartnett dies.
    Rafe: You can't die. You're gonna be a daddy! I wasn't supposed to tell you.
    Danny: No. You are.

    The end of ROTJ, beginning with Vader's body in flames and from then on.

    The Green Mile, at John Koffee's death.

    Gladiator, Lucilla's last line after Maximus falls: "Is Rome worth one good man's life? We believed it once. Let us believe it again. He was a soldier of Rome. Honor him."

    And, I hate to admit it, but when Rose runs into Mr. Andrews in Titanic..."I'm sorry I didn't build you a better ship."

    Wow. Long list.
