In The Mood for Love, really? Why's that? I love the film but I don't cry...though the ending is artistically poetic and sad.

Same here, romeo & Juliet , the notebook are others

Breaker Morant
Gallipoli
Wit

Second the Steven Hill scene in Running on Empty

:thumbsup:

Brokedown Palace is a pretty depressing and sad movie. Ill add a few more when I can think of them.

Fluke

The Green Mile -- is a wonderful film, but my gosh it is heartbreaking in parts.

Old Yeller -- only watched it once as a kid and haven't watched it since.

Braveheart -- the end is sad, but it is awesome right befre the credits roll -- "Now, bleed with me!"

Saving Private Ryan -- "Earn this"

Shawshank Redemption -- very sad in parts -- however this movie has my favorite ending of all time -- absolutely wonderful and makes me cry each time I watch it.

soon to be -- Marley and Me -- from what my wife has told me from the book -- this movie is gonna devestate me at the end.

Steel Magnolias -- the end hits really close to home for me -- my sister passed away in almost the exact same manner. great movie though.
