I forgot to add,
Ray, was a very moving film. when he is going blind "Mamma i can't see". Also when his little brother drowns, and the mother is so sad, and he feels so guilty.

Glory
Sometimes In April-_ This didnt come out in movies, it was on HBO, it was about the Rwandan Genocide. The part that moved me was when the soldiers asked hutu school girls to separate themselves from Tutsi, and none of them moved so they all died together.
Hotel Rwanda
Rabbit Proof Fence- This film is about the biracial aborigine children who were taken from their homes and put in camps where they were abused and mistreated. The story centers on three girls who escaped and journeyed nearly 1,000 miles back to their homeland. True story. The austrailian goverment still denies this occured, BTW.
Amistad- more horrifying than sad.
Malcolm X
Beloved -again, more horrifying than sad.

Malcolm X-The whole last part of the movie, particularly when his wife is crying and over him and the photo montage at the end when Aretha is singing Donny Hathaway's "Someday Will All be Free"
Cooley High-When Cochise is getting beat up/killed by those dudes
Set It Off-When Latifah tells the other girls to get out of the car,she's sacrifrificing herself in a way.
Boys Don't Cry-whole movie was sad in a way, like someone else said.
Eve's Bayou-This movie isn't particularly sad, I'm just moved by the beauty of the cinematography and landscape.
Soldier's Story-when the "Geechie" character realizes that Adolph Caesars's character set him up to be thrown in military prison because he thought he was an embarassment to the Negro race,(he kills himself subsequently).
Claudine-When Diane Carroll's character beats her teenage daughter with a hairbrush cause she comes home pregnant...you could sense her rage/ fear/sadness that her daughter was going to end up like her, with a bunch of kids she can barely take care of.
Thelma and Louise-when they decide to drive over the edge of the Grand Canyon,rather than turn themselves in(I know.....sue me)

I only started getting emotional with eyes welling up after my first child was born but even so, you're not going to believe this. The closing scene in E.T where Elliott is saying his goodbyes to the alien does me in big time - yeah, I all have to slap myself telling myself to fix up, and cursing asking myself if I'm an eediat! 
Ironically I remember back in the 80's when they showed pictures of the famine in Ethiopia on the news and my mum would be watching showering tears like rain - guess I can relate now

AWWWWWWWWWWW!
A.I is another sci-fi film like ET . I think this film is sad as he is a robot and desperately wants to become a human boy, so his parets will love him like his human brother. Its moving.

ROCKY I&II
Apollo Creed was beaten by an Italo-American part-time butcher...sh*t wasn't funny. had me breaking out in tears. I'm still not over it. The former butcher beating Clubber Lang wasn't funny as well

Yes! The first time I saw that scene it really got me too. They looked so majestic in those colors flapping in the wind...it was quite moving.
Cooley High, Million Dollar Baby, City of God, Once Were Warriors and Whale Rider to name a few.

That's one memorable scene!!! The tears and the snot was flowing and you knew exactly what Claudine was feeling for her daughter. The courtship between her and James Earl Jones was sweet as well.

@ Huskagee
Rocky didn't win in Rocky 1. He just lasted for the whole fight against the champ (Apollo) which is all he wanted to do anyway. I liked Rocky 1, it was realistic and emotional.
After that when he beat Apollo in Rocky 2 it started getting silly and completely unrealistic but I still enjoyed those flicks.

I don’t really find many films moving.
Except for…….
The champ - right at the end when the boy cries for his daddy to wake up, gets me every time.
Boys in the hood - when Morris Yummy Chestnuts character gets murdered
Boys don’t cry - was quite disturbing as well.

LOL. True indeed. The love story was sweet, James and Diane, both did their thing. I LOVE that movie, been watching it over the years since I was a child(whenever it comes on tv). I need to cop it on DVd, that soundtrack with Gladys Knight singing all those Curtis Mayfield penned songs is FIRE!!!!

I saw the play a few months ago and they did a great job with it too. Oprah produced it and now it's been nominated for 11 Tonys.

Carandiru is an excellent Brazilian film about prison life, and so is Quilombo, based on a true story about a well-known slave rebellion in Brazil. It's reminicent of Sankofa.
Black Orpheus is quite good too and there's a newer version made a few years ago.
I have the DVD with both versions of Imitation of Life. The Library of Congress has placed the original version on their list of notable movies.
I, too, was moved by Denzel's performance in Glory.

| "I am Sam", I cried throughout most of the film. It just brought to mind some really unpleasant memories of my own past. Which is why I haven't watched it since I saw it in the theater.

Or was it "Sam I Am" with Michelle Pfeiffer and Sean Penn?

Yes, it's that film. But was called "I am Sam". Unless there was a sequel of this film that I'm not aware of.

SET IT OFF....
That film had me flooding the room out with tears ! Watching them four black women go through all that sh*t then just being killed like that was painful. It's worst when you feel like you can relate to it.

| Oh yeah, "Hotel Rawanda" had me bawling like a baby. I had to leave the theatre for a while because I couldn't stop crying. It made me very angry too.
