I love tragedies, kuu... and as a rule, really dislike movies with happy endings. 
These are my favorite tearjerkers:
Fellini's La Strada
Zeffirelli's La Traviata

I watched part of that this morning. It makes me cry too.
Recently I have been crying about stupid love stories. I cry because it's all sweet and crap and then I cry cause I am sad about recent events in my life and then I get angry cuz as much as I love and want to believe in my fairytales, I know that it is never going to happen.
Ya, I'm a whackjob.

I read A Walk to Remember and I was sobbing all the way through it so I never saw it.
What dreams May Come is my number one tear jerker.

top gun (when goose dies)
gone with the wind (just about all of it)
casablanca (when she gets on the plane)
devdas (an indian film - i cried at the end...i recommend this if you can deal with 2+ hours of subtitles.)
an affair to remember (the orginal only...weird, eh?)
the piano (again at the end)
also...songs make me boohoo...off the top of my head i can think of steve wariner's holes in the floor of heaven and tim mcgraw's don't take the girl...i can only get as far as "johnny's daddy was taking him fishing" before i turn on the waterworks on that one.

It made me cry...because it took him so fucking long to die....burnt men do not tell tall tales...they rest and then die like expected.
WHY WHY WHY? Why does no one get that Devdas was a drunk fuck who didn't have the balls to take control of his life so he choose to drink himself to death. The real torturous part of that movie was his friend who introduced him to drinking...never, NEVER has a more annoying character been invented. Jackie Shroff is an awesome actor but god knows he worked my nerves in that movie.
I laughed at Devdas's death, but with that said Paro's fate was ruined and the ending is quite sad...serves us right. We deserve a sad ending for sitting through 3hrs of that self-loathing BS.
The only reason to watch that movie is for the aesthetic value. I must give credit where it is due. The movie's set design and cinematography was simply brilliant and while giving verbal descriptions doesn't not do the movie an ounce of justice Tonks will know what I am talking about.
Hey Tonksy...remember that scene where Paro and Devdas are sitting in a swing in his backyard under the moonlight and everything is lit brilliant blue. Fucking incredible, just has to be seen.

Didn't cry but the part where her best friend croakes and is offed is a downer. That movie was just fun to watch. The little girl was sweet and endearing...don't know what happened in the sequel because she got old and annoying real fast.
I am surprised no one mentioned Bambi.

'tis okay, buttie, we all know that the only reason you'd cry would be if someone was dangling over a cliff whilst holding onto yer rectum hairs.

Oh come now...I am a softie at heart. There just has been no movie so far to tug me heart strings. Either they are overdone or completely unrealistic.
The English Patient was so hyped when it came out by everyone.
"You must see it..it will move you"..It moved me...to turn it off.
Anyone remember the Titanic hoopla? I had wished jack died before he got on the damn ship.

bob...um...oops...the movie i meant was not devdas...that is one i have slated to watch and since you've described it i shall be more inclined to watch it sooner. the one i meant i still can't come up with the title but it is set during partition...a hindu girl is kidnapped by a muslim boy (thus ruining her honor) to settle an old family score. the muslim guy is in love with her and marries her, names her hamida and has it tattooed on her forearm as is custom (which eventually saves her life). hamida has the chance in the end to go back to her family years later but doesn't because the muslim man has been so good to her that she falls in love with him despite herself....do you know this one? i loved it.
