Oh, and the funeral scene in Steel Magnolias. It never fails to make me bawl and laugh hysterically all at once.

 

That scene's brutal!

 

The most recent weepy movie for me was "Juno".

Movies Watched with the Most Tissues Needed? 'Big Boob Bangeroo'?

Which volume? I'm thinking #3 - "BBB in Budapest".

Million Dollar Baby.

 

I remember sitting in the theater watching it and thinking "how on earth is clint going to pull this off and it not be just like rocky" and then that pivotal scene and I was bawling the rest of the movie.

 

Syriana got to me the first time I saw it. I think that makes me weird though.

I don't think I have ever seen my wife cry as hard as she did when we watched You Can Count on Me (with Laura Linney and Mark Ruffalo).

That one got me, too. My wife lost it during The Pursuit of Happyness. Immediately afterwards we stopped at a store, and many of the other patrons kept glaring at me--I assume because they believed I, rather than the movie, was responsible for my wife's puffy eyes and red face.

Anything can set me off. I start to tear up just seeing someone else cry, no matter how cheesy/bad the scene is. However, most of my "most tissues needed" moments have tended to be caused from some very tough scenes from the following movies:

 

American History X - this was the first movie that made me sob. and i mean all-out-snot-rolling-down-face-can't-catch-my-breath-kind of sob.

Requiem for a Dream

The House of Sand and Fog- my sister and I went to see this one in the theatre, BIG MISTAKE! both of us couldn't stop crying the entire last 1/2 hour of the movie

Crash

 

and I definitely agree with those of you who put down In America. man, that one even got my mom to cry, and she's a STONE!

Hoosiers is another one. Oh and Rudy. Oh and the one with Dennis Quaid as a baseball player. The Rookie, I think.

I cry more to sentimental sports movies than I do over real life issues. Rudy, The Rookie and Field of Dreams get me every time. I second the scene where the old-timers recall Doc Graham's generosity.

I remember there were a few scenes in Kramer vs. Kramer that were pretty heavy and sad.

 

Also, after the kid from Pay it Forward gets shanked and all those folks with the candles was kind of sad.

 

And I agree on the Field of Dreams scene when his dad comes back for a catch. Man.

 

While not a movie, I always get misty-eyed when I see that clip of Jim Valvano giving the "don't ever give up" speech, too.
