okay...I CRIED!!!

[Holdfast]

And yes...I did get mushy in the eyes at the end of Titanic, when Leonardo bits the big one, and the old lady dies at the end, and her ghost goes back down to the titanic and is reunited with him...big mushy gushy

Cameron's Titanic did nothing for me, beyond the cool spectacle.

But, talking of Titanic movies, I did shed a tear or three at the scene where the band decide to stay on deck and play on in A Night to Remember. The underplayed combination of stiff upper lip and acceptance of mortality was really powerful stuff.

Another one also mentioned a few times, Somewhere In Time. The penny scene, yes. But what always gets me is when she goes off-book during her onstage monologue about the man of her dreams...

Believe it or not, there's a Broadway musical version of SOMEWHERE IN TIME in the works. Could be a tear-jerker.

huh..I would actually go see it. I think its the greatest chic flick of all time..in any time.

Somewhere in Time is sooooo not a chick flick. Men love it. Men love it so much it comes up in discussions like this repeatedly, lo these many years after the movie was made. At least a dozen men have mentioned it to me as an incredibly romantic movie, while I've never heard a woman make note of it at all. Something about that flick is tremendously appealing to guys. I think I even put up a thread here once ages ago to ask why - because I thought that movie was sort of a snore. It remains to me one of the great mysteries of men.

I cried my eyes out during one of the great masterpieces of our times:
Debbie Does Dallas II

Ron Jeremy truly displayed his acting range, and his penis just didn't know when to quit.

I'll throw one more in, but it's one that I'm sure no one else got particularly emotional at.

In 2007's "Transformers", the entire sequence when the Autobots arrive is wonderfully done. The music leading up to it really taps your brain and then when Optimus is doing his big reveal transformation, the angles, the way Sam and Mikaela were looking at him and the music all made me tear up. It wasn't so much about it being sad or what have you, it was more like the 9 year old in me never thought he'd see this and there it was. It was a super happy but teary moment for me personally.

I can go along with that. I got a little bit of the goosebumps going when he did his "One shall stand" bit from the original movie. I remember thinking as a very small child what an insanely badass thing that was to say. To hear it again was quite awesome.

Women like it, too. Stephenie Meyer (of TWILIGHT fame) cited it as one of her favorite movies, and so has Jennifer Aniston. It definitely has a cult following. There's even a SOMEWHERE IN TIME convention held every year at the hotel where the movie was filmed . . . . .

Yeah, too bad Bey's tin ear for dramatics led him to have that line delivered off-frakking-screen!

I don't think I've seen it, but I do like The Love Letter, which is another time-travel loop/romance story, starring Jennifer Jason Leigh IIRC.

For SciFi movies:
The death of the funny looking kid in Stargate.
Sam Wise's speech before carrying Frodo up Mount Doom in The Return of the King.
David's last day with his mother in A.I.
Dumbledore's death in Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince.
The Terminators death in Terminator 2.

Non-SciFi:
All of Schindler's List.
Buzz Lightyear realizing he's just a toy in Toy Story.
I don't know why, but the death of the Stegosaurus in Fantasia.
Tom Robinson's in death in To Kill A Mockingbird.
King Kong's death in all original and the 2 remakes.
Scarlett seeing the ruins of Twelve Oaks and seeing that Tara is still standing and finding out that her mother died and Rhett leaving Scarlett in Gone With The Wind.

There are many others.

Trek doesn't make me cry often. But some exceptions are:

TOS- City on the Edge of Forever

TNG- The Offspring
The Inner Light

DS9- The Visitor
Far Beyond The Stars

Loads from BtvS and Angel.

The Gift, Becoming, The Body, and Seeing Red (a certain death scene in the latter made me literally cry) all turned me into a blubbering mess when I first saw them. They still do now. And I'm not one to cry easily.

Doc 10's regeneration (I don't want to go) was very moving too, in The End of Time.

Yeah, too bad Bey's tin ear for dramatics led him to have that line delivered off-frakking-screen!teary moment for me personally.

IIRC, this line was part of a contest where fans voted on a "classic line" they wanted to hear in the movie. It was then edited into the movie once it was chosen. I think by then most of the final scenes were done so they didn't have time to work in CGI to accommodate the line. Here's an article on it: http://tformers.com/Movies-Make-Prime-Speak-Contest-Winners-Announced/6763/news.html
