The must recent sob-feat was due to watching "about time". I was joyfully watching what I thoughts was a cute little romance, then BLAM tears of legit super sadness. Fucking bill nighy. Reminds me of my dad, so that probably made it worse.

I cry really easily at movies, and a lot of the movies people have mentioned I haven't even seen because I knew it'd make me cry. I held off on watching Marley and Me for a long, long time, but one day I decided I wanted to watch a doggy movie and put it on, and was in tears, no exaggeration, before the opening credits were done.
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."
The realization of what a bitch Julia Roberts' character is kept me from crying. WTF, you hope the little girl just totally forgets about her dead mom to the point that she won't even wish she was there on her wedding day? Why would you even say that to the mom's face?
Also, it seemed like something JR would say on real life.

This is mine too. Just thinking about the part where she says she wants another baby and he knows if they do it, he can't go back to see his dad anymore makes me teary eyed. It was supposed to be a cute romance, not that!!! Sorry about your dad
Dad is still kicking it...but the thought of him not makes me super sad. Bill Nighy physically just looks like him.
Up, I skip past the beginning now. Marley & Me made me so sad I refuse to watch it ever again. Just can't, nope. Also, Brave. It's not especially sad. But I get seriously choked up with all the mother daughter stuff. Hits very close to home.

Most of the above. I will watch We Bought a Zoo every single time it is on. Bawl every time. Start to finish. I've never seen Beaches, refuse to watch Sophie's choice.

Lots of movies mentioned by PP's get me and here's a kind of random one: the end scene in Indecent Proposal when Demi Moore goes out to the pier where Woody Harrelson is looking just devastated, and they have that little exchange - "have I ever told you I love you?" Etc. Dammit, the music, the tears, him reaching over the bench for her hand and he's still wearing his wedding ring. Tears for days.

My Girl was the first movie that ever made me cry. I was a kid and I remember watching it in my parents room and going downstairs bawling my eyes out. My parents didn't know what the hell was going on!
I saw Million Dollar Baby in the theater and cried from the accident scene until the end. I couldn't stop crying.
Field of Dreams (wanna have a catch? Gahhhhhhhhh tears), Rudy, Steel Magnolias, About Time. The wedding scene at the end of In Her Shoes when Cameron Diaz reads the EE Cummings poem.
Ok, this is not a sad movie* (at least, not on the level of sad that everyone else is talking about in here) but dudes, I cry every single time at the end of Lost In Translation. That whisper at the end? Ugh, it gets to me.
*I actually find this movie deeply sad. It's one of my very favorites, ever.
This movie destroys me. There is a sense of hopelessness and desperation that permeates the entire thing and will ruin me for days.
A League of Their Own when Betty Spaghetti finds out that her husband George was killed in action. I have a lump in my throat just from typing this.
I start crying at the beginning of the movie because I know this scene is coming up. Plus, when Bob comes back to Dottie, plus the induction into the hall of fame and subsequent reunions, plus the ending credit montage, plus the 50 billion other scenes in this that make me cry. I'm either crying because of the current scene or crying because of a scene that is coming up soon, or both. I'm almost crying now thinking about all of this.
