[up][up]I still haven't seen MillenniumActress, but now knowing that it has a Tear Jerker ending, that may or may not have raised my level of wanting to.

I know it's kind of weird for a Tearjerker, but Empire State of Mind can do that to me if I'm in the right mood. Just something bittersweet and whistful in the way she sings the chorus, And also the lyrics "Labor Day Parade, rest in peace, Bob Marley Statue of Liberty, long live the World Trade Long live the king, yo, I'm from the Empire State that's"

This song makes me cry out of happiness.

It's about the Holocaust, and how some dude will do anything to protect his girl.

The song was actually written as a tribute to the lead singer's grandparents, who grew up during World War 2.

This song makes me cry every time. The memories...

It's original Japanese counterpart also makes me cry.

From the musical In The Heights, when Claudia dies.

That scene had me misting up, but I absolutely fucking lost it when I saw the memorial for her painted on the side of Usnavi's shop.

The endings of the Pokemon Mystery Dungeon games. The end of the first one actually did make me cry... but I was 9 years old and had just pulled an all-nighter. For the second one, I just got a bit misty-eyed.

It's quite easy for me to tear up at something I'm watching/reading/listening to (for example, girls crying in anime (because I can hear it)/Protest the Hero lyrics because they're really powerful), but the last one that had me flat-out sobbing was Welcome To The NHK.Though it's worth mentioning that the last episode of Madoka Magica had me teary-eyed for roughly half of it.

Those heroes that shed their blood and lost their lives. You are now living in the soil of a friendly country therefore rest in peace. There is no difference between the Johnnies and the Mehmets to us where they lie side by side here in this country of ours. You, the mothers, who sent their sons from faraway countries wipe away your tears; your sons are now lying in our bosom and are in peace. After having lost their lives on this land they have become our sons as well.

Some one earlier said the Middle Passage scene from Amistad.

I only cried once at that scene, the first time I watched it. Every repeat of the movie since then I skip past it.

Oh god, where to start? Man, forget it, I can't even be bothered to list them all, just pretty much EVERY TEAR JERKER.

Hell - it might be easier for me to think it over and list ones that DIDN'T make me cry when they were supposed to.

..goddamn, man, that episode of Fresh Prince with Will's dad... man I cannot watch Will's whole speech without breaking down and weeping.

Goddamn, Will's words are pretty much my thoughts verbatim the last 16 years growing up.

The beginning of Up (the Disney/Pixar one, not the Russ Meyer one) got to me.

Not really a tear jerker per se, just a dramatic moment that brings out the waterworks: the big climax of the movie version of Cry, the Beloved Country (the original version with Sidney Poitier, thank you very much).

Anything about death usually gets me. Especially if it's along the lines of "they're never coming back" or anything similar.

well I've cried buckets at the ending of One Flew Over The Cuckoos Nest since I was a kid, it's just one of those things that get me every time

Many Pixar Movies(well up and Toy Story 3)

and Chris's Death on Skins never fails to make me tear up, it takes a lot for me to consider re watching that episode, that and Jenny Calenders Death or the S2 finale on Buffy

I didn't QUITE cry at Toy Story 3...but, well, I grew up with those movies, at the exact same age as Andy...and saw Toy Story 3, literally, the day after I moved halfway across the country away from my family, to go to college. Yeah. Grea timing, there.

This song gets me every time, too.

Take it from me.
