Catch Me If You Can: Long-haired Abegnale looks through his mother's window on Christmas day while the cops gang up around him. Thought: It's Christmas, and he has no family! I choke up and sob through the rest of the film.
Confidence: Cried through pretty much the whole thing. Especially when Hoffman's character was feeling the chick's breast! Oh man, I just couldn't handle watching people act like assholes that night.
Donnie Darko: As Gretchen and Donnie present their flawed invention, the mullet guys bring up Gretchen's mom, the bad home situation. The moustached one makes stabby gestures....I cry for the rest of the film.
It makes me feel like I can't handle human behavior. Erm...discuss.

Several years ago, when I went to see My Life, I started crying at the opening sequence (the story is about a man who knows he will die soon... of cancer I think?). You know, might as well get a head start.

...the bit in Spirited Away when Chihira's parents become pigs and all the spirits come out and she's getting all transparent and scared.
...that part near the end of track 7 on Agaetis Birjun when there's that piano buildup and then the drums & guitar & strings come in all like moving mountains gigantic gorgeous iceberg style.
...the "Save Me" scene in Magnolia, especially with William H. Macy's character's goings-on.
...during a couple few choice moments in Fisher King, as well as the very end of Twelve Monkeys, which, no matter how many times I see it, there's still a part of me that wants it to NOT end like that.

But anyways, I was ready to cry after watching twenty minutes of this depressing movie... I think other people did cry right near the end, but I was ready to put a gun to my head. I know, a lot of people think it's a bad, sappy, messy film, but for me... I don't know. I'm frightened to watch it again.

The only film I can recall making me *sob* was Gattaca. Ethan Hawke looked so vulnerable and determined with his glasses and sad geekiness, and that, coupled with the beautiful score, and the ending, and Jude Law killing himself, just did me in. I was watching it with a friend I had unrequited feelings for so I just ran out of the room and hid in his bathroom sobbing. Horrible. But I love the movie.
Dragonheart made me sniffle and blubber a little bit when the dragon died and became a star (and geez, I was in my late 20s, how embarrasing).
I cried in ET when I was a little kid cause I had a crush on Eliot and I thought he was gonna die. Heh.

Actually, I ony cry for self-pitying hiphoppers.
True story - I saw Star Wars on its second run in theatres, which was in 79 or early 80s (when I was in the early single digits), and evidently cried through the whole thing because I was really scared, especially by the stormtroopers. My sister, fifteen months younger than me, had a blast. I think this just proves I am a better critic.

This the the first thing I thought of when I saw this thread. I'm sure there were other people crying in the cinema when I saw it first, but I was probably the only person on the airplane crying when I saw it the second time.

Since then, not many movies have made me cry, cause it's just hard to top that. But Breakfast at Tiffany's did, and Boyz in the Hood did even though I was in, what, high school, and watching it with a bunch of The Guys (all of whom were doing that fist-to-the-eye "not here not now" thing). American History X came close even though I saw it coming.

I think I cried during an episode of Land of the Lost, which might be one of the ones I have on DVD. It was something about the mother.

I've not just busted tears whilst watching films & listening to music, I've leaked some octal salt-water whilst performing both (Tom Waits' songs) "Cold Cold Ground" and "I Don't Want to Grow Up"...playing "I Don't Want to Grow Up" was the weirdest, cuz I was grinning and laughing and crying and singing and playing guitar all at the same time! All both of the people in the audience were like "dude, WOAH".

I was determined to see that premiere, so stopped taking the codeine and percocet after two days because they made it more difficult to focus on the exercises I needed to do to be able to walk and so forth. Cue "Eye of the Tiger." Day before the first showing in New Orleans, I managed to walk to the post office and back (about a block), and then promptly napped for three hours. This was enough to convince my mother to take me to the movie, provided I bring the painkillers with me.
So I saw the movie I'd pretty much been waiting for for 23 years -- since becoming a Spider-Man fan thanks to the 70s cartoon and the TV movies with that guy who looks like Perfect Strangers' Cousin Larry -- doped up on percocet, slumped into a seat in the front row, the straw to my Mr Pibb dangling from the corner of my mouth like a sugary IV, and it fucking rocked.

When something's REALLY bad I don't bawl, I get mad and yell and say "THAT'S NOT SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN!" That was definitely my reaction to Gattaca. The only time I really cried was AI, when the aliens came, I was like "it's so sad and beautiful, waaaaaaah!"
