Gotta be Fluke.

When I watched it, my GF, her mom, and I bawled like babies and were just passing around a tissue box. (I know, doesn't speak to my limit for holding back the tears, but still might be a good test.)

United 93

Revenge (1990) with Kevin Costner. The movie is essentially a revenge drama, but it's also a love story. The end is so tragic that I literally shed several tears the 1st time I saw it.

One True Thing

The last 40 minutes or so of the film is some of the greatest acting I've ever seen.

I'll 2nd "Grave of the Fireflies" for sure.

"City Lights" (Chaplin) is a sure weeper, too, though for different reasons.

I know someone who cried at the end of "The Burmese Harp," though I didn't.

Bang the Drum Slowly. It even has the benefit of being a pretty good baseball movie.

It'll get dusty in the room during the cowboy song.

My wife cried during Terms Of Endearment. -but when that kid's face wrinkled up at the end he looked like a raisin and I just cracked up! I know it's horrible but I couldn't help it. Forgive me.

The Last Samurai
Cinema Paradiso
Jesus Of Nazareth (1977) Robert Powell the greatest Jesus ever to grace the screen period.
Not a movies but any DvD that has Freddie Mercury singing (Queen lead-singer).
Wizard Of Oz
Rocky III (Mickey ever time)
Kennedy (Mini-Series with Martin Sheen as Kennedy)
There are a few I think of right off the top of my head.

Forrest Gump. I can't watch the ending without getting a tad misty eyed. Hell i was watching this with a friend of mine on tnt, during the big scene at the end, she noticed a tad bit of tears, and i had to make somethin up about me having a cold.

Most of the films mentioned in this thread didn't get a single tear from me, but Ikiru certainly did. The last scene from Rashomon also gets me every time.
