I agree about Imitation of Life. That whole funeral scene with Mahalia Jackson singing and the carriage just break me up every time.
And also, since I only seem to think of old movies:
Penny Serenade
An Affair to Remember

Imitation of Life (sooooooner willlllbe donneeeee)
The Chronicles of Narnia......I literally boo hooed when I saw this on DVD a few weeks ago for the first time.
The Women of Brewster Place, when they are tearing down the wall and Vesta is singing.
The Color Purple.... on a good day, I will cry from "God's Trying to Tell You Something" all the way to the closing credits.
West Side Story
Hair (The Flesh Failures/Let the Sunshine In .... from when Burger marches up into the plane, it flies away, and then everyone's at the cemetery)

Every. Single. Movie.
Okay, except for horror/slasher & those super silly films.
I've cried in every single movie I've ever gone to, my whole entire life. My earliest memory of crying in a movie was when I was like 6-7 & saw "For the Love of Benji" in the theater. And you bet I cried during the last movie I saw (on cable): Syriana.
My husband is reluctant to go to movies with me because I'm a weeper. I even cried during our first date movie together (Independence Day). That's why I watch most movies at home..

It takes a lot to make me cry during a movie. I remember one movie that made me lose it completely. It was a movie was on ABC Family over a year ago. It was called "If Only" with Jennifer Love Hewitt. It could have been because I was really sick that week, but that ending was more than I could handle. It makes me think of the movie "Premonition". The boyfriend in "If Only" kept having visions that Jennifer was going to be killed in a car accident. He knew the exact moment and place it was going to happen, so he tried to spend as much time with her as possible. When the accident is about to happen, he protects her from the oncoming car...scene ends. The next scene is in the hospital and you realize that the boyfriend was killed and Jennifer was safe. When I saw that, I cried so hard and I had the flu, so I looked like a mess!

I don't really cry. More like I get teary-eyed. Usually really good indie flicks get me there. I was also watching Titanic (for the gazillionth time) and I sniffled a little. But only because Leo dies. The last part of Gladiator is also kind of sad (where he is dying and sees the fields from his home).

That reminds me a lot of the movie they have around Christmas called "Three Days." It has Tim Meadows as an angel, and Kristin Davis is the main lead. She is killed on Christmas Eve while rescuing a dog. The husband gets to relive the last three days she's alive. But he cannot rescue her by normal means. He has three days to figure out the gift that will save her life. You can guess how that ends. Yup, cried at that one.
An Affair to Remember didn't do anything for me though. I got the point of the movie, but...

I hear you Annie...I am totally the same way!! One of the biggest genre that's makes me totally weep is Sports Themed movies......
Rudy, Friday Night Lights, Remember the Titans, We Are Marshall, Hardball, Miracle, Million Dollar Baby, Invincible, The Natural, Field of Dreams, etc. The list goes on and on!! I don't know why, it is just something about the build up of the sporting event and if they win or lose.

Ditto on these.
My List:
Ice Age
Joy Luck Club--gets me every time
1. When the mom leaves the twins @ the tree (I can feel the knife going though my heart)
2. @ the end when the sisters meet. "Mei Mei..."
Simon Birch (just saw it the other day)
Hope Floats --I really hate to see children cry. When Bernice runs after her dad to go live with him and he tells her no.
Color Purple--too many to mention but I will say the ending.
Ghost
Antwone Fisher
Soul Food
Come See the Paradise (Dennis Quaid)
I know I have more but this is all I can think of off the top of my head

I read that in 10th grade....I never knew there was a movie 
Hmmm....if I'd known that, maybe I would've actually made it to the end and found out what happened when Hilde finished the book....can you PM it to me???

Steel Magnolias (the graveyard scene gets me every time!!!!)
Varsity Blues (I don't know why... but I feel so good for Billy Bob scoring that touchdown)
There are so many others... sometimes you just get so caught up in everything before you know it you're just bawling......
