"Nell"
(Liam Neeson, Jodie Foster, Natasha Richardson)
I love that movie.
Pay It Forward was another one that got me.

Sixth Sense. That little kid could really act. Every time I watch that movie, it get's me very emotional. Just love the scene where Bruce Willis listens to that tape of Vincent Grey when he was left alone in the office. The movie just really hit me. Guess I could kinda relate to the kid's problem with his mom in a way. Either way, I just really liked the movie.

I was very touched by the movie "You Can Count on Me," which depicts the adult relationship of a sister and brother whose parents died when they were young. There is an excruciating honesty in the dialogue and wonderfully deep performances by the lead actors. I appreciated that the movie didn't sugar coat what was a painful interaction between two people who very much loved each other, yet were caught in patterns of dealing with life's struggles that kept them apart. I heartily recommend the movie.
I also agree Renegade that Sixth Sense is a powerful movie and the boy's performance is breathtaking.

Laurel...
You're starting to scare me. Our physical descriptions match, which I found a little unnerving, and H&M is my favourite film.
I rarely go to the cinema because I have an overactive imagination and get *really* into it. The last film I saw was Shakespear in Love. I cried for the last 30 minutes of it, and by the end I was sobbing. I had to go sit in the theatre manager's office. I was scaring the other patrons.

Re: Laurel...
So maybe I'm not Deborah, but YOU...(dramatic music here)...the plot sickens...
I watched Harold & Maude nearly every day in 10th grade. I was a moody teen, so I'd come home after school, sit in my room, and stick my H&M videotape in the player. Kinda scarred me...to this day, I can't watch most movies more than once.
I had a huge crush on Bud Cort. Boy, did he age badly...

I am in no way claiming to be Laurel, trying to post like Laurel, implying that I'm as cool as Laurel, suggesting that I even look like Laurel, etc ad nauseum.
Bill Gate's Physical Desctiption could match Ray Liotta's. Doesn't mean much, does it?

Saving Private Ryan was the last one in the theatre I saw that made me ball. I cry everytime I see Legends of the Fall, The Shawshank Redemption (when I saw that in the theatre my g/f at the time teased the hell out of me), and Chariots of Fire.

I cried and cheered and got very rowdy watching "Remember the Titans" with hubby.
I don't get to see evidence of the goodness left in humanity very often, so maybe I'm jaded. But it was a football movie too, which makes it even better!

I cry for odd reasons. Rarely do I cry just because a moment is sad or tragic (though I have -- ditto "Schindler's List"). I more often cry when a film is passing brilliant:
The cuckoo clock speech from "The Third Man"; the girl with the white parasol speech from "Citizen Kane"; the moment in "Usual Suspects" when the cop realizes that Kevin Spacey has been crafting his Kaiser story out of the odds and ends of his office; the appearance of "2001's" space baby to the strains of Thus Spake Zaruthstra (also the moment when the monolith inspired proto-human first conceives of using a bone as a tool); Barishnikov's leaps in "The Turning Point"; the face of the cured blind girl at the end of "City Lights" when she realizes is was Chaplin who arranged for her to see again; Gene Kelly getting all jazzy as Toulouse-Lautrec's "Chocolat" during Gershwin's "An American in Paris ballet"; the "Colonel Boogey March" from "Bridge on the River Kwai" and every blessed moment of "Duck Soup".

Hands Down...one movie
Life is Beautiful
I have never completely recovered. Honestly, I haven't. I can still just THINK about it and get tears in my eyes.
Cinema Paradiso in two scenes. New Years Eve and the last scene. I've seen it 1000 times. I still sob.
Shawshank is another one. It is like watching an enactment of the word "hope."
Pi affected me strangely. It was intended to be more thought-provoking than sad, but I found myself getting very emotionally disturbed and I cried at the end.
One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. I just can't watch it anymore.
I cry at most movies, though. I'm a sucker. You name it, I cried...
Hoosiers
Steel Magnolias
Dances With Wolves
The list in endless.
Hell, I cried at the Oscars when they showed Walter.
But...there is a difference between "I got misty-eyed in Dances with Wolves" and the fact that I sobbed like a child at Life is Beautiful. I really couldn't move for a few minutes after the house lights came on. Luckily I wasn't the only one. Every usher had kleen-x on hand.
