That scene Dobby dies and they bury him w/o magic always gets me.
::sob::
I'll take it back to Half Blood Prince at the end when all the students put their wands in the air. OMG I'm choking up right now. Why do you make me cry so much Jk Rowling?!
But see, the book? Got me worse. That scene at the end where all the ghosts and people in the pictures at Hogwarts all applaud him? Ded.
I'll never forget being in the theater for Deathly Hallows 2 and I think I had to cover my mouth to keep from sobbing out loud. The scene with Harry ' s mom? That almost killed me. I think that one was the worst movie cry I've had.
My 23-year old brother and I were BOTH ugly crying at that montage.

Schindler's List, at the end when Liam Neeson is saying he could have gotten more out, he could have sold his ring or his car, he could have done more. I nearly died.
I don't like the Notebook that much, but when she forgets who he is and James Garner cries. Ugly sobs at that too.
My sisters keeper... I sobbed during that movie, it was so so sad....
Have you read the book? Even sadder. I don't usually ball reading books, but that one I did.
Marley and Me ripped me apart. I was dumb and watched it not long after we'd had to put down the 15 year old lab mix I grew up with. I was an all-out snotty mess by the end of that movie.
So cheesy, but Legends of the Fall. That was the first movie that ever made me cry and still does every time.
It is NOT cheesy.
I defy anyone to watch this scene - where Aidan Quinn's Alfred saves the day and is reconciled with his father (Anthony Hopkins) - and not shed a tear or twenty.
Julia Roberts' Isabel: "Look down the road to her wedding. I'm in a room alone with her, fixing her veil, fluffing her dress, telling her no woman has ever looked so beautiful. And my fear is she'll think, 'I wish my mom were here.'"
Susan Sarandon's Jackie: "And my fear is... she won't."
This absolutely kills me... every freaking time. I also ugly cried during Marley and Me, and for like 2 hours after. Never watched it again. So flipping sad.
Forrest Gump - the scene where Forrest meets Little Forrest and asks Jenny:
ET - when ET comes back from the dead, when the feds are after them and they think they're trapped and their bicycles go up into the air and the final scene - "I'll...be...right...here."
When The Joy Luck Club's Suyuan must abandon her twin daughters by the side of the road.
Julia Roberts' Isabel: "Look down the road to her wedding. I'm in a room alone with her, fixing her veil, fluffing her dress, telling her no woman has ever looked so beautiful. And my fear is she'll think, 'I wish my mom were here.'"
Susan Sarandon's Jackie: "And my fear is... she won't."
Stepmom - the scene @beachgal mentions. And when she's giving the kids their Christmas presents. And at the end, when Susan Sarandon invites Julia Roberts to be in their family photo? GAH
Mr. Holland's Opus gets me every. single. time.
The scene in the Forbidden Forrest in Deathly Hallows 2, when Harry sees his mom, dad, Remus and Sirius. FUCK. (side note - when reading the book, I had to leave the living room and go up to our bedroom and ugly cry for like, an hour, before I could move on from that scene)
Schindler's List, at the end when Liam Neeson is saying he could have gotten more out, he could have sold his ring or his car, he could have done more. I nearly died.
I don't like the Notebook that much, but when she forgets who he is and James Garner cries. Ugly sobs at that too.
I still haven't seen this movie. I started hyperventilating about 20 minutes in when I was a teenager and my mom made me turn it off. I think the last part I saw they grabbed a little girl and shot her in front of her parents? That's what I remember anyway but that was 15 years ago.

Oh that's right, Marley and Me. I must've blocked it out. Damn. That was so awful, they dragged it out so long, I feel like we (ds and I, dh kept leaving the room under various pretenses lol) cried for like half the movie. Wicked sad.

Fuck fuck fuck! I never should have opened this
StepMom, Beaches, Steel Magnolias all get me every dang time. Sometimes I can desensitize to sad movies or I will just refuse to watch them again. Up is a good example of one and done. I refuse to ever watch or read Marley and Me.
And to whomever said Dumbo, yes!!!!!!!!!!!! I don't remember thinking it was all that sad until I was a mom and that was my big boy's favorite lullaby too. Stupid circus assholes!
I don't know what it is about Disney, and this movie in particular, but Lilo and Stitch makes me so sad I can't even watch it. Lilo and Stitch! The first time I saw it I was like 17 and emo, so I cried through 3/4 of it. I just tried watching it recently, at 28, and fuck if I didn't turn it off half of the way through because I couldn't get a grip. No thanks.
While on the subject of children's movies, the penguin scene in The Chipmunk Adventure might as well just rip my heart out. That effing "my mother, that's who I need" song. Whatever.
On the adult movie side, Milk makes me bawl, especially the end. Beaches. The snowman scene in Meet Me In St. Louis in particular.
I really try not to watch sad movies anymore, though. I cry enough as it is.
