I cried at various points during John Q. I don't want to give the story away for those who have not seen it, but the love of a parent for a child is what brought on the waterworks.

I always tear up at Rudy. And most of the scenes others have cited are also on my top sob list.

I sobbed, SOBBED the entire four-block walk home from Pan's Labyrynth and Brokeback Mountain. I still tear up thinking about those movies.

Not a scene...but the end of Titantic when that Celine Dion song comes on I'm a teary mess.

another TV show here... just re-watched the spree shooting episode of Greys Anatomy. The scene where Dr. Bailey realizes that she can't save one of her fellow doctors because the elevators are locked down and then she gets calm and sits with him while he dies.... just the thought of it has me choked up again!
as for movies, so much of Saving Private Ryan had me so upset, I don't think I have ever experienced anything on that level in the theater since!

My Girl - I saw this movie years after it's original release. Figured I'd watch cause I'd never seen it. Didnt know Macauley Caulkin was gonna die. Damn it.

The Lion King when Scar kills Mufasa. I saw this movie during it's original run in 94. Didnt have any kids. Cried like nobody's business in the theatre.

However, I can't believe that nobody else has mentioned the scene in Castaway when Tom Hanks is separated from Wilson in the ocean...the way he painfully screams for Wilson broke my heart. I have purposely avoided that movie because of that one moment.
YES. I remember that scene and thinking Tom Hanks is the best actor ever. At the time I tried to explain to friends that scene who thought I was crazy.....til they saw the movie. Then they cried too.
This is how I understand the scene in Titantic where Rose sees Jack again. She'd said Jack had saved her in the most important way you can save a person. It was because of him, she'd been able to go on and find love with her husband, have a family and live a great life. If it was not for Jack she'd have led a miserable life.
The Pursuit of Happiness - the end of the movie where Will Smith gets offered the job. There are tears in his eyes and he rushes to pick his son up at daycare. He worked so hard and that job is going to mean a better life for him/his son.

In the movie, Ray, about Ray Charles. The scene early in the movie when Ray is a little boy and newly blind. He stumbles and falls and cries for his mother, not knowing that she's right there watching him. She doesn't respond, because she knows that his survival depends on him learning self-reliance despite his blindness, but you can see that it is killing her not to rush in and soothe him. The look on her face as she watches him just undoes me.

Me too PP! Anytime I think of my kiddos growing up and moving away, I lose it.
I also lose it when watching Terms of Endearment, like the others.
That said, I always LOVE the end of An Officer and a Gentlemen when he walks into the factory and sweeps her off her feet!
