Terms of Endearment. I can cry just remembering that one.
The end of About Schmidt makes me cry.
I cry when Warren Beatty dies at the end of Bulworth.
American Beauty - when Kevin Spacey dies followed almost immediately by Annette Bening grabbing his clothes in the closet and breaking down. Heartbreaking.
Magnolia. Tom Cruise's breakdown scene. (I have a thing for characters whose veneer of hatred cracks when their heart breaks.)
The end of Lost in Translation.
Into the Wild.
I'm sure there's many more...
