I felt something at the end, but mainly because the music stroke a bit of similarity with Free Willy.
I cried during Green Mile too. And then I laughed after seeing the parody on the Simpsons.

I saw this opening weekend. I was 18 & this is only the 2nd movie I've cried at. For me, it was how much Bowen hated dragons, but Draco has to beg & plead for death. Sean Connery & Dennis Quaid did such a wonderful job in this movie, especially this scene.

Oh You had to go and say that last little bit at the end!!!! I got all emotional just reading that. I cry every time I watch this movie (yeah, I know lame, but I don't care.) I was about 5 when it came out and it has been my favorite dragon movie ever since. There have been some good ones, but personally, nothing beats Dragonheart for me.

I watched this move for the first time a couple of nights ago. I'm 22 years old and this was the first movie after Four Brothers that made me cry, even though Draco got everything he wanted in the end. Peronally, I love dragons and believe they are proud, noble creatures just like Draco was. That's part of what made Draco such a great character. He wasn't just some mindless, ferocious beast as dragons are all too often depicted as.

Yep, every freaking time. This time, I just thought I'd make it through, and then there's this moment when all the lights burst into Draco's picture, and tears were flowing again.
I guess it just shows that we don't have a heart of stone ourselves ;-). -

Oh, yes. I cried a ton at the end of this. Draco's death is always heartbreaking for me, but as others have said, it's the musical score that really opens the floodgates for me. -

The funny thing is I haven't seen this film in 11 years,11! I was 5 when I last saw it and I only just re-discovered this movie a few days ago.
I thought the movie sounded familiar and so I read the plot, once I got to the part where it described the ending I remembered the scene and started crying, hahaha.
Unfortunately I haven't been able to find a good copy of Dragonheart anywhere

I watched this movie a lot when I was younger, and it made me cry every time i watched it. Eventually i got over it, but i haven't watched in several years, and plan to do so again. Best prepare the tissue's.

I've read through all of the responses now, and I am amazed (and perhaps a little worried about myself) because so many of the responses were from people who saw it when they were children and cried. I was almost 50 when I sat there sobbing at the end

I, too, was almost 50 at the time. I took my daughter, who was 10 or 11. Don't recall if she cried, but I certainly did! Love this movie. Love the story, love the visuals, love Sean Connery's voice/character, and find it very compelling as a "fairy tale" but at the same time a parable about the virtues of honor and integrity, man and "animal".
One could do a whole lot worse than to take a child to see this film, even now. While there is of course some early-on CGI involved, I do not think it detracts at all from the essential storyline. If you can believe in dragons, you can believe in them in any form. If you are really lucky, you can believe in what the dragons represent here and accept that they represent something noble and ageless.
