Anything Lassie.
ET.
Mystery at castle house (though not in the tear dripping way).

Strangely enough, "Click" (yes, the Adam Sandler movie) almost made me cry.

Also, a movie called L.I.E. (Long Island Expressway) DID make me cry.

As far as films from childhood, Gladiator was actually a sad one for me, as was Lion King.

Never did get a chance to see "Watership Down" though. Maybe i'll add it to Netflix...

I'd recommend The Plague Dogs as well, from the same animation director (the same writer of the adapted story as well, though the adaptation was in this case not very faithful). Again, I think it really is bleak whereas Watership Down had dark touches.

-Dumbo-. The scene where Dumbo's mother says goodbye to him still makes me choke up.

The part with the song, where she's locked up? I forgot that one! It gets to me, too. I was going to add "since I had kids" but I don't remember seeing it before I had them, so there you are.

This is my dark secret...

Star Trek II. Spock's death always choked me up.

Do not grieve. It is only logical.

Pokemon the first movie makes me sad, their is a part where the main character gets turned stone and I always have to hide how I am feeling or I would start crying as I did when I first saw it. Actualy thinking of it right now is makeing my nose starting the warning sighns of starting to cry. I think get a bit upset in the second movie too in some of its sadder moments.

I think ET was sad aswell, I found it realy funny when I showed it to my younger brother he burst into tears at the end of the movie and had to be comforted.
