"Amelie" is one that comes to mind. It is a French film with English subtitles. Anyway, there is a scene where the title character gets her heart broken, and to illustrate how she felt the film makers made her turn to water and splash to the ground. Okay, it probably sounds dumb seeing my description, but it is very emotional when you actually see it.
"Dancer in the Dark" with Bjork is probably the most depressing movie I've ever seen. She plays a woman who is going blind and is saving money so she can pay for her son to have an operation so he won't also go blind. She gets screwed over and it sucks. The movie is very good, I think that even people who don't like Bjork's music should check it out, they just might like it.
I've never cried during a movie, but came close at the end of "The 6th Sense" when the kid is telling his mom about her dead mom. It struck a nerve, I suppose.
*edit- "The Fisher King" is always emotional for me to watch. When Jeff Bridges finds out the guy he talked to flipped out and killed those people is pretty crazy. So is the part when Robin Williams goes on that date and everything is looking good for him, then he has that bad hallucination with that medievil horse and knight, and ends up getting the shit beat out of him within inches of his life. Another good movie. Terry Gilliam is awesome.
