Has a movie made you cry for one reason or another?
I will admit I have cried because of the way a movie has made me feel. I bawled at only a handful of movies in my entire life. I think it was because of some emotional trigger in movie, for whatever reason, that has made me actually shed tears.
1. Casablanca (1942)
2. It’s A Wonderful Life (1946)
4. Easy Rider, I think (1969)
3. The original Star Wars Trilogy (1977-1983)
4. The Godfather (1972)
5. The Lion King (1994)
6. Titanic (1997)
7. Schindler's List (1993)
8. Love Actually (2003)
9. Marley & Me (2008)
10. Haichi: A Dog’s Tale (2009)
11. Brooklyn (2015)
12. Wonder (2017)
13. CODA (2021)

I cry plenty, and not just at movies.

I saw Titanic and cried so hard I passed out and fell into a coma. I woke up 3 months later stranded on an island I never been on.
Crazy movie experience!

I think you meant bawled at....
I doubt there's anyone who hasn't at least gotten teary eyed at some movie. Movies are designed to generate an emotional response, whether it's laughter, fear, sadness, etc.
I do wonder about some of your choices though. I can't think of anything about the original Die Hard that would get someone crying, and I never felt misty-eyed at any of the original Star Wars Trilogy films.
Perhaps getting more specific about the scenes in those movies that made you cry would help.
For me, I cried at two points in Lilo and Stitch. One is startling early in the film, when Lilo gets upset about some kids teasing her about her makeshift doll, and she throws the doll down in disgust and walks away, only to come running back to pick up the doll and earnestly hug it. She wanted to hate the doll so much because she got made fun of for it, but she still loves it because it's all she has....
The other part is near the end of the movie when Stitch talks about his family.

I was expecting a fantasy-type film and was surprised.

I get misty eyed from time to time, usually an emotional score will help with that.
One that immediately comes to mind was the first time I watched Field of Dreams after my Dad died.

Frequently during Frequency (2000). I’ll second Field of Dreams. A lot of father/son stuff gets me lately, with my dad dying just a little over three months ago.

Lion King
And not the scene everyone cries at. It was the opening sequence that got to me. It was the first time I realized the beauty of film . It was that day I saw movies as a work of art.

Cried like a baby (not literally) at the end of A.I. There are others. Anyone who thinks real men don't cry is an idiot.

i still, honestly well-up, just a little bit, when the music trumpets and end credit scroll comes on at the end of "Star Wars". it just amazes me, each and everytime to think this was made in 1977 and still has never been rivaled in scope and magnitude of story-telling and effects.

Re: Has a movie made you cry for one reason or another?
Thinking back to the first piece of filmed entertainment that moved me to tears, I just looked up "Lassie" on IMDB and determined that "The Odyssey, Part Three," the episode which ran on March 4, 1962, when I was eight, was it. Lassie had gotten locked in a truck and transported hundreds of miles away in the first episode of the three-parter and he finally returns home at the end of Part 3. I was surrounded by family, so I cried silently.

Anyone who claims to be a movie fan and does not allow a film to move them emotionally to tears is not a true movie fan.

The Rise of the Planet of the Apes movie with James Franco I found emotionally devastating, so much I would never watch that movie again if you paid me. AI had a similar effect on me.
