My Sisters Keeper got me a bit choked up, though I didn't cry. (I just had dust in both eyes)

Pretty close to home, but a great film too.

Too many...

Casablancy, Hook, Love Actually, Chocolat, Amelee, Armageddon... Pretty much any chick flick will have me in tears at some point.

White Angel was probably the one that had me crying the most. A wonderful Turkish film, about a father taken to the city for an analysis (terminal cancer) and he runs away from his sons and lands in an old people's home and the sons find him and sleep outside on the bench, while he befriends the inmates. Then they break out and drive back to his home... Wonderful, moving, happy and sad. One of the best films I've ever seen.

The first time I saw Austin Powers in Goldmember I cried a lot.

I cried with laughter the first time I saw Southpark the movie.
It just doesn't have the same fun factor the second time you watch it though.

There's a few films when I've been close but the only two which spring to mind where I've actually shed a tear are I Am Sam and Armageddon.

This is on Sky at the moment and wasn't sure whether to watch it or not. I will now though.

Everything makes me cry but then I'm a girl. When Debra Winger is looking at Shirley Mclaine before she dies in Terms of Endearment gets me every time. And Steel Magnolias. Also I could never watch Lassie as a kid without blubbering.

Aside from the fact that I'm not a man, there is one film that makes me cry; Little Women when Beth dies.

Oddly, books tend to make me cry more than movies or music. The last book of the Adept series by Katherine Kurtz and Deborah Turner-Harris always makes me cry when Alan Lockhart dies.
