I also have to go with Schindler's List- I cried from beginning to end watching that one. I was an absolute mess. Saving Private Ryan also, but to a lesser degree. Shine got me pretty good, as well as A Beautiful Mind and Sling Blade. I'm sure there are others, but they elude me at the moment.

I don't think I've ever cried during a movie in my entire adult life.  While some moments can be deep and thought provoking, tears have never actually flowed.  My wife, on the other hand, cries a river during alot of films.  Most notably is the ending of Armageddon when Bruce Willis says goodbye to his daughter.  Even though she's never said it, I know it reminds her of her father, who she lost when she was 18.

However, during my childhood, I remember crying when Apollo Creed died from massive beating he took from Ivan Drago in Rocky IV.

When I was little, I bawled and screamed when the Ewok dies on screen in ROTJ. I still get a little misty eyed, when his little Ewok pal tries to wake him up and starts crying.

For the rest, I cry pretty much over everything everyone else has listed.

I can't believe you didn't list the obvious...Vader dying in ROTJ...Yoda dying?  Ben dying?  Helloooo?

Actually, Buffy the Vampire Slayer has made me cry several times (no jokes about your opinions of the show)  I've really gotten into that and Angel, so, when things happen I feel somewhat affected emotionally.  

Some of these were when I was a bit younger...

Patch Adams.  

What dreams may come.  (I'm a sucker for Robin Williams I guess.)

The Truman Show.

The original King Kong.  I was so sad when the planes killed him.  :(

Baby.  (It was a dinosaur movie of sorts...was a part where the daddy dino gets killed by the bad guys.)

The Patriot.  (mel gibson...not segal.)

The Last Unicorn.

The Mask of Zorro.

I'm sure there are lots more...I am a big wuss.

Here's my list...

- ET
- Braveheart
- Signs (when the wife of Mel Gibson dies)
- Pearl Harbor
- The Patriot
- Titanic

I know there are a couple others that make me sappy, but I just can't think of them right now.   :'(

They threw me out of the theater during the re-release.  I was so loud.  The clapping didn't help either. :P

So much anti Ewok sentiment around here...... yeesh! Just signs of people who have way too much difficulty realizing Ewoks are a vastly superior race

Short, hairy and primitive?  = superior?  Good lord man, they worshipped 3PO.  Goldenrod the golden god?  Ugh.  If they had any brains they'd be worshipping R2, clearly the brighter and MUCH funnier of the two. ;D

Ewoks the superior race?  Umm, I don't think so.

Just upset because they knew precisely how to exploit the weaknesses of the Imperial Garrison stationed on Endor... Despite the fact that they have one of the most advanced militaries in the galaxy, the Ewoks had enough military intelligence to know that blasters wouldnt be as effective as primitive weaponry ;)

Just the thought of the From Justin to Kelly movie makes me want to cry.

I must admit, I was close to tears during Boromir's death scene in FOTR.

I don't think I've ever actually wept openly during a movie. Maybe emotional weeping, if there is such a thing. ;)
