Movies that Move You
I know this probably sounds like such a cheesy topic, but I've been in a really sappy-ass mood lately and been watching movies off and on that make me weepy. So, I ask you all, what movies move you to tears? What are those movies and who are the actors/actresses in them that get to you in those particular scenes? For me, let's see it would be
1. Finding Neverland- At the end of the movie, the part where he takes Sylvia to see Neverland...oh my goodness, that choked me up so much. She was able to see Neverland before she died. Also the ending when James is holding Peter, got me choked up.
2. Armageddon- I shouldn't even have to say what scene gets me, but this movie does make me cry.
3. Titanic- Don't laugh at me for this please. I'm a sucker for sappy romances and this one gets me.
4. The Green Mile- When that bastard of a man doesn't wet the sponge on one inmate and poor John Coffey...what he suffers through and the ending...That whole movie is actually very very heart-wrenching, but when he's killed I just tear up so badly.
5. The Notebook- The very ending and how sweet and sentimental it was. It definitely tugged at my heartstrings.
6. Edward Scissorhands- The goodbye between him and Kim gets me every single time and how she explains the snow as well. It's just observing him throughout the whole movie how he's just used, ridiculed and everything and down to what happens at the very end, yeah...
Those are my main ones that I think of at the moment that get me, so what gets you? Please don't spam. Be detailed with your posts!

Bambi - When I was a kid I hated this movie because it always made me cry! Apparently psychologists have studied that scene, and everything about it is designed to make you cry. Poor Bambi! When your a kid, this movie is so depressing.
I can't think of anymore at the moment...I'm not really a weepy person when it comes to films

Just to say in response to Lady Aerith' comment about The Green Mile (and I may be wrong):
I thought the bit where the mean prison guard doesn't wet the sponge and the execution goes horribly wrong was halfway through the film, and was done on another inmate, not Coffey. I agree the ending where Coffey is executed is sad though
My choices:
1. ET
When he leaves at the end and says 'Come', and Elliot replies 'Stay'
2. The Truman Show
Again the ending when Ed Harris speaks to Truman (from the sky, in an obvious God allegory) and asks him not to leave. And Truman decides to choose the real world over the fake one he is in
3. After Life
A Japanese film about people who have recently died choosing a memory from their lives to take with them. In one bit one old lady talks about her childhood with her brother and how he passed away a few years ago - it's hugely moving as it almost sounds real.

I have to say the two that come to mind are the Green Mile and Braveheart.

Sephirothalpha and DarkSquall, please put more effort into your posts. I asked for specifics, not one-liners. Next time, they'll be deleted.
Yes, I know charliepanayi, I worded my post wrong  
I also watched another one that kinda choked me up a bit. What's Eating Gilbert Grape. Leo Dicaprio's performance in this movie was just absolutely astounding. The whole story is very emotional and strong.

Hmm, I'm not one to get moved by most films but I am moved when films are based on real life like Hotel Rwanda which really got to me because you are sat there and are like "Wow, I can't actually believe that happened and that no one cared."... even the trailer gets to me.
Trailer
Apart from that I can't think of any other film straight off the top of my head.

Theres a couple:
*Radio- the part when his mom dies and he starts tearing the house up.
*Because of Winn Dixie- When the girl is looking for the dog and the old black lady is yelling for her(im so ashamed)
*Man On Fire- I thought that it was real depressing when he has to trade in himself for the little girl.
Now, let me huddle in the corner and find all the pieces of my dignity that are left.

The trauma.......they shot my MOTHER!
*ahem* Anyways
The Green Mile, Omg when he's in that chair in the end, and cures that woman of cancer.... it's one of the sadest films ever
Titanic - It was so upsetting because you know that all those people really DID die and hardly any of the 3rd class people got off at all. I think it was somthing daft like half a dozen of them survived (altho I could be wrong there  ) When the band plays that last song, Autumn i think it's called and it shows all those people waiting to die I was like in bits (Im FAR too soft) Then that selfish bitch hogs all that door to herself. Then when she dies right at the end as an old woman with all her pictures by her bed and they get reunited ....O_O.... ok, you get my point, this film kills me off big time 
Armageddon - I can't keep my promise Grace O_O. Oh gawd....I do actually cry all the way through this film
And omg, Man On Fire. When he's there on that bridge at the end and you just KNOW he's off to die 
Yeah I know, Iv just said all the same as everyone else there, but I can't think of anymore coz it's late, and those ones defo got me bad
