Bambi. The book was even WORSE. A lot of that stuff in the book went over my head as a kid. They didn't show it in the movie though.
Oh and Turner and Hooch when Hooch died at the end made me cry.
And Cat People with Natassia Kinski where she's a cat in a cage at the end and her lover comes and scratches her and looks so helplessly at her and she's gazing back with that hypnotic gaze. Boo hoo!
...It's hard to be humble when you own a Rottweiler...
Wow. That's a tough one, I usually don't go for tearjerkers.
I guess it would have to be "Glory" with Matthew Broderick, Denzel Washington, and Morgan Freeman. When the 54th fights doggedly right up to the doors of Fort Wagner only to have the doors swing open and the cannons cut them all to pieces.
Second was probably "Gettysburg", after Pickett's Charge has completely failed and his troops have been decimated, Robert E. Lee (Martin Sheen) rides up to him and says "General Pickett? You must tend to your brigade, sir." Pickett looks at him, the once-cocky general utterly broken and says "General Lee...I have no brigade..." Heartbreaker.
I'm sort of a junkie for old,well acted movies....For me it's a toss-up between Midnight Cowboy,especially when Dustin Hoffman dies on the bus;Cool Hand Luke; and One Flew over the Coocoo's Nest.....
Definitely "The Animal" with Rob Schneider. When he died in that horrific auto accident I just couldn't watch anymore. Took three attempts to finish the movie.
It was SO bad. Bad plot, horrible acting, bad actors. Plus it was a "scratch 'n sniff" movie - they handed out scratch 'n sniff cards when you went in. The cards had numbers on them, and every so often a number would flash on the screen, you'd scratch that number, and smell the movie. They had onions, roses, and yes, farts.
It was so bad it brought tears to my eyes, and for the first time ever, I got up and left before it was over. Smatter of fact, I don't think I've done that since.
I LOVED Charlottes Web!(and the book) Oh that was sad!
I forgot to add Born Free and that movie with Sigourney Weaver and the gorillas. OMG when her gorilla friend got beheaded I almost puked. Especially since it's based on a true story and it really happened.

I was almost going to add this one but then I remembered that I read the book as a kid and it traumatized me so much I could never watch the movie when it came on.

Oooo - forgot about Dr. Zhivago - that's a 2 tissue boxer, too - but takes a long time to get to the tears.

"Love Story" with Ali McGraw and Ryan O'Neal. I haven't seen it in decades, but when I was a teen, I thought it was the most tragic movie ever.
And of course, Dr. Zhivago.

"Brian's Song"
The original with James Caan and Billy Dee Williams, not the lame Disney remake.

NLL - oh gosh - forgot about that one. That has moved to #2 on my sad list, #1 on my tragic list.
I could cry just thinking about that one, too.
