    Don't know.
    It all depends on so many factors, I refuse to cry if I sense an obvious, cheesy attempt to make me cry, but there are movies which really get to me, I just can't remember any at the moment, probably some love movies among them. And then there are of course, cold wind and nothing special at all which also produce tears, sometimes during movies.

    Leon and Ghost Dog. Predictable but moving.

    Schindlers List, the scene where Neeson starts crying and then the real survivors coming to his grave...

    And somehow: Donnie Darko, with that beautiful song at the end.

    And Simon, a dutch movie on euthanasia(sp?). Brilliant.

    I'm probably going to regret admitting it, but "In Which We Serve" (especially the stirring voice over at the end explaining how Britain is going to kick Hitler's butt over the footage of Formidable, or whichever carrier it was, ploughing through a head sea) is quite emotional. I'd be a patsy for propaganda.

    In a bid not to seem entirely childish, here's another vote for Its a Wonderful Life, and yes, the end of Life is Beautiful, when the boy sees the American tank come round the corner and shouts "It's true"

    That one gets me too - the fact that it's true makes it all the more poignant.

    Schindlers List is the only one I've ever cried during. The scene where Liam convinces himself he could of saved more.

    Chingachgook's speech at the end of Last of the Mohicans usually gets me.

    A couple of others I can't remember at the moment.

    Saving Private Ryan had me crying like a baby, especially the d day scene and when Captain John Miller dies at the end. Also deserving a mention is when Private Ryan shows great courage to stay with his regimental Brothers to fight rather than go home.

    The Pianist is usually one that is always a Tear Jerker.

    I was surprised to find myself holding back my tears watching 'Click' when the main character is lying on the road dying and tells his son "Family First."

    that just makes me feel for him.
    Braveheart and John Q make me "feel" too.

    I'll go with the end of Schindlers list too. It destroys me every time.
