Grave of the Fireflies.

Only movie that ever made me cry.

Forgot another one.

Mulholland Drive the scene in club silencio gets me every time. Partly because the scene is so beautiful and partly because they're realizing it is a dream.

I almost mentioned this exact scene, but then I realized that it's not even remotely sad, and that the point of the scene must have been about manipulation.

Unless I have misinterpreted it, which is obviously entirely possible.

I didn't see this mentioned, and it's so, so obvious:

The scene in Terms of Endearment when Debra Winger has to say goodbye to her sons.

And then, of course, the scene when she looks at her mother for just a split second, smiles...and dies.

Ummm, uh, ahem--you guys see that game last night? Great game.

I think I got something in my eye.

I'm a ruff tuff gambler type, nothing makes me cry.

Except Forrest Gump of course.

Nice call on The Elephant Man. I assume you mean either the scene where...

Both good scenes. I get caught out also by the scene where the doctor's wife first meets Merrick, and he shows her the picture of his mother.

Oh my God, David Lynch can sure make a movie.

QFT. Edit: no, f*** being glib, I should say "I absolutely agree."

And yeah, good game last night. Must be some dust in the air or something.

I'm too busy being literally sleep-with-the-light-on terrified during that scene to be sad. Do you cry from the tiny old people too?

I may be exaggerating, I'm not sure if the Silencio scene actually scares me. The first time I saw the movie I had a deep feeling of terror from the moment the opening credits started, and was too scared to close my eyes to go to sleep after it was over. I didn't even have any expectations of it being scary, something about the music and those dark Hollywood hills at the beginning just did me in.

I don't find that scene scary at all. Sadness is also likely a very small part of the reason I tear up there. In one of my other posts in this thread I mentioned crying when Andy plays the opera music in Shawshank. I think I'm just overwhelmed by the sheer beauty of things sometimes.
