I remember in junior high they had an assembly and showed "Brian's Song". At least one girl ran out of the room, balling. Of course we all laughed at her.
What movie(s) made you cry? and Why?
For me, I remember losing it to "Sex, Lies & Videotape" of all things. I think it hit a little close to home, if you know what I mean.

It is so hard not to give a jack ass answer to this.
I could see how Passion of the Christ would touch those of Christian belief, despite that bizarre androgynous devil thing and that crow. If you cut out all that goofball stuff, it was a pretty good film.

Big Fish came close at the end, however, I can safely say that I've never cried at a movie.

I was surprised: I'm a diehard Christian, yet I didn't cry at Passion.
I'll admit to crying at the end of Big Fish. Not many movies warrant it, but that did.

When I was a kid:
Star Trek II - c'mon Spock died ET - the real version with the agents that had guns
As an adult....not many.
The Passion of the Christ - pretty moving film for me Saving Private Ryan - and any well done military movie simply because I am a vet and there are many in my family's history.
I am sure there may have been 1 or 2 more but I can't think of them at the moment

I saw Big Fish, but I don't remember the ending, or much else.

I can honestly say I've been choked up a few times in my adult life, but never cried at a movie.
As a kid, I'm sure there were tons... but the only one that really stuck out was at the end of Pete's Dragon when the dragon had to leave or go away or whatever happened. I probably haven't seen that movie in 20 years, but I bawled everytime they showed it on HBO in the early 80s. It got to the point to where my mom wouldn't let me watch it.

I cried at Underworld Evolution for my 6 dollars that I spent at it.
But seriously the last movie I remember crying was when I was a kid and it was Little Man Tate. And I should have waited becuase that movie had a happy ending. I used to too sentimental when I was a kid. Good thing I never saw the Champ.

The Yearling - if I have to say which part.... It's A Wonderful Life - two places: the scene with the drugist at the beginning and when the Uncle breaks down and cries after he loses the money and George yells at him....good hearted man who should be working with animals, not in business. I'm sure there's a couple others but they're not coming to mind at the moment. When I was a kid: Star Trek II - c'mon Spock died I didn't cry at that. I mean, the secret got out so we'd known for months. However, when Kirk's voice broke at Spock's burial....I'll admit I shed a tear.

If you don't cry at the end of Stella Dallas, your male machohood bs armor needs a hole poked in it because you're a robot or no longer human.

Well that's actually more accurate in my case also.....not the death itself but the funeral.
I was 10 or 11 at the time so I really wasn't paying attention to the "we knew for months" thing.

The Shawshank Redemption
Saving Private Ryan (not at the ending, however, which was vomitous).

When I was younger I used to watch Where the Red Fern Grows and cried when Little Anne got heart broken at the death of Old Dan. At one point in the film she is lying on Dan's grave...dead. I would always lose it at that part.
Forrest Gump, at the end of the movie where Forrest is talking to Jenny's grave and puts the letter that lil' Forrest wrote to his mommy by the tombstone. SAD!
Those are the two that come to mind right away. The Yearling was the only movie that made my Mom cry, and my Dad cries at everything!
