I have the same trouble with "Joe versus the Volcano". Daft title, wonderful warm movie. The "thank you for my life" scene gets me all weepy too.

Have you seen "Ted versus the Volcano"?

"Quetzlcoatl the Volcano God is angry. We must appease his wrath!"
"Volcano God! What kind of nonsense is that? I'll ask you one more time, will you not give Catholicism a try?"
(Irish accent) "It wouldn't catch on. We don't agree with the Pope's line on contraception. It's the '90s for God's sake!"
(Pushes Ted screaming into the volcano).

I saw the green mile when I was like 8. It ruined me for about a month

Return of the King: during Aragorn's coronation, when he comes upon the hobbits and they start to bow, he stops them and says "No my friends. You bow to no one." followed by him and the crowd bowing to the hobbits. Gets me choked up everytime. The voice over right after this about the breaking up of the Fellowship doesn't help matters. The other part is during the second to last ending , when Frodo and Gandalf are stepping on to the White Ship. There is the departing forver aspect but also Frodo's smile, reminiscent of his no-worries smiles at the beginning of Fellowship. But what makes this scene even more wrenching is the beautiful music of the soundtrack.

Same, but only when I saw it a second time.

I cried tears of laughter in Blades of Glory. Other than that I can't remember the last time I shed a tear while watching a movie. I've gotten choked up during a movie, (during Flags of Our Fathers when you watch the pictures of the battle, especially the dead got me all choked up pretty good) but I never really cried.

Cry? Cry?!?! Peh! You bunch o', eh... eh, I mean.... Okay, even if I am a logical / rational person and I don't feel much, there's only a couple of movies that can make me feel something, but they don't make me cry - just make me feel.... "something".

Saving Private Ryan: the end is damned dramatic where Ryan stands at Cpt. Miller's grave.

Platoon: that music is just dramatic but even more dramatic is the scene where a certain person dies, that scene where this person is on the knees holding his arms up and screaming.

Braveheart: damned dramatic.

Gladiatior: how a good man is betrayed and dies; dramatic.

Being John Malkovich: dark and dramatic IMO. Lots of pain and suffering.

I can't think of any more, but there're probably more that come into play. But it's all and of course from a logical standpoint, not from an emotional one, keep that in mind.

Boromir's death from LOTR

Doc Holiday dying at the end of Tombstone

The end of Trains, Planes and Automobiles. John Candy was just great and the bit at the train station just broke me. Very sad indeed

The Green Mile and the death of John Coffey

The end of Man on Fire as well
