Movies that make me cry

So, I was watching Bridge to Terabithia the other day and I have to say that the movie is very, very sad. I had read the book a year or two ago, and I knew it was a sad story but I didn't realize the movie would actually make me cry. Indeed, there are only two other movies that I can think of that have made me cry.

3. E.T.
I have to say that when I cried during this movie, I was only eight years old, so this one doesn't embarrass me too much. Although it is probably why I haven't watched this movie since that first time I saw it back in 1982.

2. Angels in the Outfield
It's supposed to be a comedy, so why was I crying at the end? When the crowd starts doing the angel thing and Tony Danza finds it in himself to make that one last pitch...

1. Bridge to Terabithia
If you haven't read the story, the movie trailers for this one were very misleading. They made it seem like it was a fantasy movie but it is really a story about a kid who is alone and how he finds someone to connect with and then loses that person. It's a real tear-jerker and I was crying buckets. I was watching the end of it when my wife came home and I tried to hide my tears, but she noticed.
