Big Fish and Forrest Gump are the only ones who make me cry.
<I>Ikiru</I> didn't make me cry, but it easily could have.
<I>To Kill a Mockingbird</I> does. "Scout, stand up, your father's passin'" obviously gets me, and the last scene, with "Bob Ewell fell on his knife" and "Hey, Boo" and "I believe he already knows you" and obviously "he would be there when Jem waked up in the morning." I don't know, I'm the type who gets chills rather than crying, but it'll happen in this one sometimes. I suppose the fact that I played Atticus once has some effect on that, but I'm obviously not the only one who reacts that way.
The other thing that stands out, other than, say, Dumbo, is certain episodes of the West Wing, primarily those dealing with Leo, and occasionally those with Toby. If any of you know the series, I'm talking "Bartlet for America," "Memorial Day," "Drought Conditions," the final moments of "2162 Votes," and the conversation between CJ and Toby in "Institutional Memory."
Ah, also, when they're leaving in Fiddler on the Roof, and "Sunrise, Sunset."
And, despite myself, Field of Dreams.

Actually you know what makes me cry more than Ikiru? The fact that Jim Sheridan has signed on to direct a remake produced by Spielberg and starring Tom Hanks. Real tear-jerker that is. Damn Sheridan. Damn Spielberg. Damn Hanks. Three hacks raping one of cinema's great masterpieces.

Interesting thread.
#1 & #2, would make my list -- but AI, are you kidding? Question on Heat -- what subplot is the most compelling?
For me, About a Boy is my Colt 45 -- at the end during the Marcus kid's performance. I can't tell you how much verbal abuse my wife has given me over my attachment to that film over the years.
I can't believe that no one has mentioned It's a Wonderful Life. Legends of the Fall -- used to rank.

Yeah, this one has choked me up -- until I remember that it's a self-serving, self-righteous baby-boomer tripe.

Oh ****, yeah! Pan's Labyrinth. Why didn't I think of that one? Absolutely destroyed me. Great stuff.

Oh yeah, I forgot about Click. I'll admit, I cried during that one too.
