Measuring depression by which movies make you cry. Uncontrollably.
Green Mile - Understandable, nothing to worry about.
Pan's Labyrinth - Reason to be concerned, shoulda seen it coming.
The Pursuit of Happyness - Redeeming plot, why am I crying?
Spy Game - I'm completely fucked.
Anyone else got a flick that makes you question your mental stability?
Doesn't count. Pikachu tears stem from undeniable cuteness, which always interferes with depression measuring.
Sex and the City 2
I went to the crazy doctor instamediately. Got new pills. Gonna make it.
This signature does not quote anything. Evar.
^Hehe.
Frequency. Anything that has a father/son moment in it makes me all teary-eyed.
I'm guessing Field of Dreams did you in. Me too. High five.
Lars & The Real Girl.
Especially since it is re: the White Sox, Frank's favourite team.

Seven Pounds
A Single Man
Revolutionary Road
Jude - It kills me every time.
Babe - When Farmer Hoggett sings to Babe to make him feel better before the tournament....Lord have mercy.
The Color Purple - Every other scene, pretty much.

“...There are so many ways of being despicable it quite makes one's head spin. But the way to be really despicable is to be contemptuous of other people's pain. You ought to have some apprehension that the man you see before you was once even younger than you are now and arrived at his present wretchedness by imperceptible degrees.”
-James Baldwin
The only piece of motion picture that has ever made me tear up and actually have a tear run down my cheek is this:
Si vis pacem, para bellum
Yep, that's done it too.
Men of honor made me cry. Awful.
“Now remember my three beginner’s tips for picking up chicks: Address her by name, isolate her from her friends, subtly put her down.”
Let the Right One In choked me up a bit. That was it. I'm dead inside.

Citizen Kane SUCKED!!!!!!! True fact.
Alcoholism is the cure not the disease.
"Uncontrollably"? That's a bit much.
I misted up during the first ten minutes of Up and towards the end of WALL*E.
That's right; I only have Pixar emotions.
Tuffy the Dump Truck may rarely increase the risk of a heart attack or stroke. The risk may be greater if you have heart disease or increased risk for heart disease (for example, due to smoking, family history of heart disease, or conditions such as high blood pressure or diabetes), or with longer use. Tuffy should not be taken right before or after heart bypass surgery. Also, Tuffy may infrequently cause serious (rarely fatal) bleeding from the stomach or intestines. This effect can occur without warning symptoms at any time while taking Tuffy. Older adults may be at higher risk for this effect. (See also Precautions and Drug Interactions sections.) Stop taking Tuffy and get medical help right away if you notice any of the following rare but serious side effects: bloody or black/tarry stools, persistent stomach/abdominal pain, vomit that looks like coffee grounds, chest/jaw/left arm pain, shortness of breath, unusual sweating, weakness on one side of the body, sudden vision changes, slurred speech. Ask your doctor if Tuffy is right for you.
I cried for twenty minutes at the end of the Dawson's Creek finale. My friends recorded it on their camera phones. I'm not that embarassed.
I Am Sam.
Wow, I well up and sometimes even cry at a lot of movies but I can't really think of many specific examples.
Most recent: The ending of Toy Story 3 made me well up.
Most embarassng: I saw Marley and Me on a plane. Have you ever tried not crying in front of an entire plane?
Favorite movie: I welled up in the privacy of my own home after watching Donnie Darko for the FOURTH time.
When watching Toy Story 3 I was expecting to have a hard time not crying towards the end, since everybody said they cried. I watched it, liked it, but didn't understand why everybody cried.

This happened to me too. I was biting my lip so hard to keep from making any noise.
Lars and The Real Girl also made me cry a little.
The one that worries me the most is that I got a little choked up and teary in I Love You, Man.
I've noticed that I cry at way too many movies. It's not all breaking down and all-out bawling or anything, I'll just be sitting there watching something and then all a sudden I got big fat tears just pouring out. It's mostly when I see something that I just find as perfect. Even if the rest of the movie or show is shitty, if they have just that one moment where everything comes together or a performance nails a situation or emotion exactly right.
The last time I was just a wreck from watching something though was when the Reds clinched their division this year on Jay Bruce's home run. Far and away the most beautiful and perfect thing I've ever seen from my team.
THE LION KING!! What is wrong with you all for leaving that one out?! Mufasa plummeting into that stampede right before baby Simba's very little eyes. So funny. Uncontrollable tears from laughter. Shame on this thread for waiting 22 posts to bring it up!
I cry at almost all movies. I am not sure why. Anything touching or sentimental turns on the water works like a light switch. Even happy moments. I cried during all the movies mentioned in this thread that I have seen. I cried during Pirates of the Caribbean 2 last night. It's completely ridiculous.
I especially hate crying at movies in the theater. I did this at the end of the last Harry Potter movie. Both my date and my kids were making fun of me while I was trying really hard not to all-out sob. I didn't WANT to cry. I should have seen it coming, though. I cried at the same point in the book. All three times I read it.
Mom's gonna fix it all soon.
the worst was when I cried during Billy Elliot: The Musical. I didn't cry during the movie!
Si vis pacem, para bellum
For me, crying during movies isn't really anything to do with depression. Until a few years ago, I had never cried during a movie. It wasn't until I had experienced deep feelings of love and loss in my own life that I was able to connect with, or really draw from any of those emotions presented by a film. Once I could relate on a more personal level, the tears started coming.
I used to watch The Neverending Story endlessly as a child (until I wore out the tape), but it wasn't until seeing it as a 20-something that I realised just how harrowing some of those scenes actually are. The part where the horse dies in the swamp is so unbelievably sad.

NooOOoooooooOOOoooO!
I, too, have cried over Marley and Me.
I also cried during the gorilla killing scene in Instinct. I would say most of my crying is centered around animals dying and whatnot.

The end of Ginger Snaps wells me up every time. Killed her own sister, the closest person to her.
This is exactly it.
Yeah, I was gonna respond to that too. 
There are too many silly movie I've cried through. I know I teared up in movies I watched recently but I can't even remember which ones.
I did end up sobbing like a baby after watching the Wrestler and not because he dies but more the father/daughter thing that was going on in that movie. It really hit hard since that's how my relationship with my father is.
I wonder if George "The Animal" Steele had any daughters?
I never took the ending as him definitely dying, but maybe that's silliness on my part.
Watching the parts with his daughter was quite hard.
This is exactly it.
I typed out a long response and got frustrated because it was too long and this was what I really wanted to say.
I mean, what Frank said.
Mom's gonna fix it all soon.
Kit said it it!
You guys hear about the Black Swan edition of the wrestler where Mickey Rourke turns into a CGI ram at the end?
"They sold you hippies grunge, hip hop, now liberty activism."
No, and I wish I hadn't because that thought turns such a sad thing into such a funny thing.
Why don't he want me, man?
Oh Forrest Gump's ending I thought was really sweet, and it made me well up.
E.T. when I was a little kid.

This movie here got me.
I don't know who here has seen it to know what I mean, but it was the thing with the mercenary guy and the dogs.

I cried again today at My Name is Earl. it was the one where he's in a coma and his dad says how he never gave up on him and then kisses his forehead.

I can understand that.

In Treatment usually gets me. Damn you Gabriel Byrne!

Oh god yeah, when the old guy was holding the little white dog. I lost it. This was actually the first movie to ever make me cry.
I'd have to say I'm more like Tuffy on this one (my phone just corrected my spelling cause it knows tuffy, I find that amusing) I tend to get a bit misty rather than actually cry. The only movie I can think of that has made me shed tears in a few years is Precious.

I think the only movie that ever had me blubbering like a baby type of crying was the first time I saw Boyz N Tha Hood.
I teared up during Pokemon: The First Movie.
