Oh, Light of the Piazza, the latter version, had a moving conclusion.
Yvette Mimieux as a retarded woman.
Wait a minute. I can remember some more near tear jerkers now that I think about it.
Diary of Ann Frank - the original.
The Remains of the Day - ridiculously sad.
Maybe no tears but rather moved by these films.

Carry on up the Khyber , the dinner scene when the khasi (carsey cockney for toilet) of khalabar and his Burpa tribe attack the compound and are met by complete indifference by the dinner guests. The defending garrison are called the 3rd Foot and Mouth. There is something that tickes me every time I see it. For serious crying, The Grapes of Wrath , Camerone should watch it , actually he should read it , the last scene in the book will make anybody cry.

I cry at anything. I'm a big soppy b******. But strangely enough futurama episode where the dog waits for years for his master really sets me off.
Actually seen it happen. Sets me off big time.

Two scenes that almost always make me cry: firstly, the scene where the old druggist hits the young George Bailey because of his grief at the news of his son's death.
Secondly, the scene where after the theft of the money George returns home and is hostile to his family.
(The common link between these two scenes - a good man is impelled by stress and pain to do something unworthy of himself).
Then, of course, one can cry again, for joy, at the happy ending.
