As a kid, Watership Down, no contest!
As an adult, I'm less sure. I watched Leaving Las Vegas the other day though and found that quite moving! Superb performances.

Schindlers list made me cry a bit when they had the real people at the end.
I agree with Stara though, I can't actually watch the last 20 minutes or so of AI. Well I can but within a few seconds of the last scene with his mum (welling up now, stupid boy!) I'm a mess.
Flight 93 was upsetting. One thing that did get to me was the Twin Towers film. We watched it at the cinema and before the start there were some kids making noises etc as they do. I've never experienced it before or since a whole audience leaving in silence at the end - my wife and I didn't even talk to each other until we were almost home. We just couldn't.
Powerful stuff.

Bambi - great tale about that film. My friend who was, by his own admission, a bit of a lad in his day (grew up on a rough council estate and spent a lot of his youth carving a deserved hard man image until later in life he calmed down realising a good job and a loving family was better than fighting in the pubs and on the terraces every week) took his two very young daughters to see Bambi at a cinema matinee kids club.
He knew he was completely immersed in the film when his eldest daughter tugged at his arm and nervously asked what had happened to Bambi's mum. My mate stood up and with tears streaming down his face pointed at the screen and yelled 'that b**tard shot her' before realising where he was and sitting down again very quickly with the whole cinema staring at him
He has never lived it down, but likes to tell the story against himself much to his daughter's (now late teens) dismay

"Ten things I hate about you".
At the end when Cat is so upset in class as she reads her sonnet.
Watership Down? The only sad bit is when Hazel dies at the end, and even then, he's going with nthe black rabbit to rabbit heaven...........

Watership down definately but I watched Marley and Me the other night and I had to walk out of the room nearer the end. Had me thinking back to when I had to have my dog put down and I was really welling up.
Green Mile was sad the first time I watched it.

Kes (cried my eyes out when I was 11 and read the book)
The Ghost and Mrs Muir (original Rex Harrison vers)
Old Yeller
Mr OS said Million Dollar Baby made him fill up!
My brother had to be taken out of the cinema when Bambi's mum died because he was crying so much (and no, he wasn't 32 at the time!
)
