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.

One of only two films I've given a 10/10 to was The Elephant Man. (The other was 2001: A Space Odyssey.)
I will likely only ever watch this film once in my lifetime. It's impact was unmatched, and I've never felt so emotionally drained after watching a film. I don't ever want to see it again because my original experience with The Elephant Man was unparalleled, and I'd hate to diminish the impact it had in any way.
Nice guy? I don't give a sh_t. Good father? F_ck you! Go home and play with your kids. -

There is no other movie I can think of that made me sob convulsively like this one. I viewed it again recently and luckily I was alone at the time and could let it all out. I've never wept so much during a film and don't believe I ever will.

Nice lists even the ones mentioned.
Where's Bambi, Fox and The Hound, Wizard of Oz's Dorthy saying farewell scene, Neverending Story with the Artax scene etc.?

The Wizard of Oz used to make me cry, but I think I've seen it so many times now, I am immune. But I always have tissues handy when I'm watching a movie.
"Philadelphia" makes me cry every time.
And another Tom Hanks performance that was heart wrenching was the end of "Captain Phillips."
And to go farther back in time - "Love Story" and "Brian's Song" are real tear jerkers! -

I remember crying on 3 films, one was Elephant Man; during the scene where he breaks down upon meeting Mrs Treves. Next is Hachi: A Dogs Tale; truth be told, I haven't seen this film the whole way through but I cried when apparently Richard Gere's character had been dead for 10 years and the dog was still waiting for him. This next one is the least known of the three but this belongs at the end of a miniseries called Poor Little Rich Girl: The Barbara Hutton Story, if anyone knows a thing about what kind of life she led, you can guess from a number of scenes but the one that got me was when she was meeting Cary Grant while in her 60's with almost nothing left. Does that matter? No. They both make the most of the time they have together even though, by this point, they had lost their fame. It is genuinely hard to find a "happy moment" in that film but this one moved me to tears.

I've only ever properly cried to one movie - Green Mile - but I had to fight back tears on quite a few. For example, What's eating Gilbert Grape, The Pianist, The Dallas Buyer's Club, Ray, Rain Man and Leaving Las Vegas are just a few big names which spring to mind.
I might also mention that I am too afraid to watch Her because I know I will cry uncontrollably. -

It was touching but I didn't cry. Wasn't even close. I was angry at best.
I cry about Lion King, every time, and surely about many other Disney movies.
I don't make or have a list of cry movies.
But the most I cried when I watched The Impossible for the first and only time. Couldn't get a grip on myself.
Lincoln Lee: I lost a partner.
Peter Bishop: I lost a universe!
