Forrest Gump makes me cry a LOT (when Muh'Jenny dies mainly) And also Shawshank & The Green Mile (as others have mentioned) have had me shed a tear or two.
Ponnette (French film about little girl grieving and pining for her mother and desperately trying to get her back or see her one last time)which is obviously sad, but the little girl actress does such an amazing job and is so very believable, it doesn't really seem to be scripted at all.
(song) Puff The Magic Dragon by Peter, Paul & Mary. "Without his lifelong friend, Puff could not be brave, so Puff that mighty dragon sadly slipped into his cave." GAH! *gnash, wail, weep*
(books) Odd Thomas by Dean Koontz (can't say why, would spoil the book) and The 5 People You Meet in Heaven by Mitch Ablom (about a man who dies and 5 people whose lives he has affected significantly on Earth meet him in "Heaven") - it's a pretty crap book except when he meets a little girl he has no idea who she is, and she tells him, when he was a soldier and escaped from a POW camp and he and his troop burned the place down, she was scared of them and was hiding in a shed and was burned alive. :(
