For me it was the story of Mohandas Gandhi's life and assassination - at the end he was shot, and crumpled to the ground, gasping "Oh God, oh God!" That was such an emotional moment for me, I burst into tears on the steps coming out of the theatre - and I was about 50 at the time - even now it makes me teary-eyed. I guess the emotional charge is still there. It was so sad that a man like that would be hated so much that someone would kill him...

That I can think of right now: probably "The Pianist." I almost cry just thinking about it.

A film called "It's My Party". It's about a man who is dying of AIDS and throws himself a "Good bye" party for his friends.

Terms of Endearment for sure
and not quite a movie, but a televised musical - "Sunday in the Park with George" by Stephen Sondheim. I just couldn't stop the flow.

A foreign art film about 25 years ago called (I think) "Camille". She and this priest fall in love. The ending was so sad that almost the entire audience was audibly sobbing. I ran to the ladies' room and there was a huge line of women needing to get Kleenex, and each one was a fire hydrant.

Chinatown made me sad for some reason. I didn't cry though, because I was emotionally numb.

Rabbit Proof Fence. I was quite young, and it had a huge effect on me. I watched the journeys of the people in it and felt their pain their hurt, and was shocked by the ignorance and injustice of the genocide. And at the end when it told the individual stories of the girls in real life; that's when it hit me that this had actually happened to them. Well you can't pretend anymore. I bawled.

there's so many but one that sticks out is called imitation of life with lana turner. when her maid dies at the end and her daughter is crying over her casket, realizing how badly she treated her mother, it gets me every time.

Most people would classify it more as an action film, but for me it's Tears of the Sun. No matter how many times I watch it, I am always moved to tears by the courage and tragedy faced by the Seals and the people they're protecting. I cry for every one of the ones that get killed in that final push and start crying again when the ones who make it reunite with their loved ones. The fact that the woman who plays Patience actually lived a very similar situation only makes her performance more poignant.
