For some reason, I love a good weepy movie. If a movie can make me feel happy, break my heart, and then make me happy again, I consider it a masterpiece. Disney seem to be particularly good for this.

The fox and the hound gets me really bad every time.

Some others off the top of my head

lion king
the lake house
charlottes web
the pursuit of happiness
titanic
saving private ryan
forest gump
moonlight jellyfish

What movies make you guys cry? Or at least well up  :P

A.I. makes me cry like a baby. I watched it the other day and I couldn't stop for two hours.

I get emotional in most movies, and whether I'm laughing or cooing or crying, there tends to be tears. I'll make a list and get back to you. ;)

I think it's beautiful and very tragic. The human beings in the movie are vastly less humane and "good" than the A.I's. I love how even a character like Gigolo Joe is a complete innocent.

I think you messed up the title...it should say "Movies that don't make you cry." The only movies I don't cry at are comedy movies, unless you count tearing up from too much laughter. Seriously though, I will cry at happy endings, sad endings, and everything in between. I'm a big baby when it comes to movies  :'( I think I put myself in their shoes too much, lol

When I was young I would get very upset and cry at the end of Easy Rider.  As I grew older, the ending got happier and happier.  Now, I don't think the end is sad at all.

But I will always cry at It's A Wonderful Life.

It would appear that anything that ends with tinkly music and a long crane shot away from the location, or very slow fade out seems to work.

Bridge to Terabithia had me bawling the other day.  I remember reading the book when I was a kid and feeling utterly betrayed by the author.  It still made depressed and maudlin 20 years after I read it.  I don't know why they keep insisting on trying to market it as a fantasy, when it clearly isn't anything of the sort.  Very well written book, though.  Pretty good movie, as well, though I don't think they did a great job at casting Leslie.

I'm a soft touch, so I try to avoid movies that will make me cry. I mean my mom caught me crying at a cartoon show once.  But anyways, one movie that always stuck in my head was 'Best of the Best'. 
It was the seen near the end, the awards ceremony. The Korean team had just won.  The main fighter on the korean side looks totally thrashed and nervous. He finally starts hobbling over to the american team, over to the guy who he fought.  He takes his metal and puts it over the guys' head and offers to take the place of his brother.   :'(
