Many movies get me to cry. I don't think that It's a Wonderful Life has for a very long time. This does, and I can't imagine it not doing so, although I've only seen it a handful of time. Ghost does. The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas did, but I've only seen it once I can't imagine sitting through it without sobbing.

I only saw it once and I was a teenager so maybe my view would be different now but I hated
It's a Wonderful Life
! It's one of those films that's supposed to have an uplifting message but just leaves me feeling utterly depressed! I don't say I don't think it's good, I only say that it made me feel really depressed so is certainly not a film that I'd put on the tear jerker list. Thus it's not a universal tearjerker
Hard to remember things that moved me the most, but I just saw this for the first time and cried A LOT! It is so sad! And not just at the end - at many points. John Hurt is utterly heartbreaking.
However the saddest film I've ever seen is definitely
Truly, Madly, Deeply
'Course I'd put this in the list too, thus.
The Elephant Man
and also
Cinema Paradiso
. I have to be honest - I've done sobbing at a fair few films though that I can recall so maybe I'm not the person to ask. -

I cannot agree more with your view on It's A Wonderful Life . barring the final 10 minutes of that movie, it is just a soul-crushing experience
About the original thread topic though, my addition to the list would be Jim Carrey's "Truman Show" where he first showcased his acting talent (in my opinion) and showed that he is more then just a rubber faced comedic genius. I found it difficult to hold back when he tries to swim away in the ultimate act of desperation and finds out that even then he LITERALLY ends up hitting a glass wall powerful stuff -

I cry freely at movies, but these get me every time:
Schindler's List
The Elephant Man
How Green was My Valley
Field of Dreams
Bang the Drum Slowly
Ghost
To Kill a Mockingbird
I know that's already and I could definitely go on.

Ugh, The Elephant Man! I was so young when I saw this film, I think maybe around 9 years old? I must be a drama queen because once the film ended, I grabbed a throw pillow from the couch, went to the bathroom to sit on the toilet and cried my eyes out while sobbing into the pillow. How sad is that?
Keep in mind, I'm a cry baby, so if I could have a top 25, that might have made it easier on me, but I'll try my best to pick 5.
Here are my top 5:- The Elephant Man (I was so angry at all the horrible people who ridiculed him)
- Mask (Eric Stolz) (Reminded me a lot of The Elephant Man)
- Radio Flyer (I wanted to save these boys)
- Titanic (Mostly when they show all the poor people/kids who have no hope)
- My Girl (Every time I watch this movie, I want to change the ending)
Honorable mentions: Bridge to Terabithia, Schindler's List, Steel Magnolias, Patch Adams, okay I'll stop!
I really wanted to pick more though, lol, oh well!

I'm a big softy anyway, but these are my top 5 weepies:
- The Happy Prince by Oscar Wilde (Made into an animated video short which you can find on YouTube. Find the version narrated by Christopher Plummer) I defy anyone not to weep uncontrollably at the end scene.
- Watership Down. Again, the final scene will break your heart.
- The Elephant Man. For all the reasons stated above.
- A.I. No, I'm not crazy. The final scene is quite literally, heart wrenching in my humble opinion.
- Love Story. A touching, yet heartbreaking ending.
