I searched to the best of my abilities, and I didn't find any other threads like this, even though I found it hard to believe there wasn't at least one.
So...
What movies, and perhaps more specifically what scenes from said movies have managed to make you beak down and sob like a little pansy?
Personally, I almost never cry during movies.
Music, on the other hand can occasionally move me to tears, but not necessarily because it's sad, though sometimes that was the case ("Final Exit", by Fear Factory).
Generally when a movie is clearly trying to make me, the viewer, cry, I resent it and resist. And since movies are almost universally crappy, it's not too hard to resist.
Memento is actually the only movie that I can really recall making me cry.
I thoroughly loved everything about this movie.
Fun Fact: I later learned that the lead character is actually played by an Australian guy (Guy Pearce); his American accent is absolutely impeccable, very impressive.
I didn't bawl, but tears were streaming down my face, and I had that feeling that you get in your throat.
As far as the scene that did the trick...
Mild spoilers, so avert your eyes if you haven't seen the movie.
It also might not make much sense in isolation, if you don't know the plot of the movie.
The lead character has a condition where he can remember everything that happened before an injury, but he cannot form new long term memories.
He forgets everything he learns within fifteen minutes.

"How am I supposed to heal, if I can't feel time?"
So, please, share your scenes too.
