Lost in translation does it for me, but that is more on a personal level where I can connect.

We Were Soldiers - Col. Hal Moore's pain at the deaths of so many of his men tugs surprisingly well at the heart strings.
That's one of the greatest and saddest TV episodes for any show I've ever seen, where Kelly Cuoco gets to the door in her dress and breaks down.
Ditto.....I actually cried coz I loved John Ritter in that programme
and....
ET
I thought I was a wus crying at films...most of which have already been mentioned...Green Mile, Forest Gump, Click (suprisingly), I Am Legend (where Will Smith kills his dog)..the list goes on....

I nearly cried at the end of 'Green Mile' I remember.
Strength in weakness. Are you too scared to cry??
Oh, the ending of American History X, where they show the beach and the seagulls and the two kids running together kind of gets to me too.

The Green Mile - Saw "the line" that would do it coming a mile away ("Don't let 'em put me in the dark,") but even then couldn't hold it.
House of Sand and Fog - Ben Kingsley's wail as he "loses" his son is one of the most authentic displays of utter grief/terror I've ever seen.
The Girl Next Door - Not the comedy, but the recent adaptation of Jack Ketchum's novel. The ending hits like a sledgehammer.
The Butterfly Effect - Director's Cut ending where he kills himself so everyone else can have a proper life.
I've yet to watch Grave of the Fireflies, actually. Got it years ago but didn't tell the Mrs. what it was about (she's an anime fan, particularly the Studio Ghibli stuff). Arrived home from work to a barrage of abuse as she went through about two boxes of tissues.

ha ha, no, not quite but thanks for sharing how your mind works though
.'Mask' starring Cher.
ahhh you got it, I agree with you whole heartedly, I challenge anyone to watch Watership Down without crying, I was depressed for a week after watching that film.
