I'm yet to see Field of Dreams. But from those I can remember: About Schmidt Amadeus, right on Lacrimosa even after 100 times of rewatching.

Brian's Song -- Gayle Sayers' speech when he wins the George Halas award. The whole "heart of a giant and that rare form of courage" speech gets me every time. But I always get teary eyed when he says, "I love Brian Piccolo. And I'd like all of you to love him too. And tonight, when you hit your knees, please ask God to love him."

First, let me tell you that I absolutely ADORE crying when watching a movie!  I don't know why, but the more I cry the more I like the movie!  Actually I think crying is very theurapetical! That being said, I obviously have a veeeery long tearful list...  and I'm going to mention only some titles as they come to mind. Schindler's list The pianist Titanic Shadowsland Dying young Ghost Umberto D. Steel Magnolias City of Angels What dreams may come E.T. A.I. Love Is a Many-Splendored Thing Lassie movies Captain Courageous Life is Beautiful Waterloo Bridge to be continued.... 
I don't want realism. I want magic! Yes, yes, magic. I try to give that to people. I do misrepresent things. I don't tell the truth. I tell what ought to be truth (Blanche/A streetcar named desire)

Since I am probably the most easily manipulated person in a movie theater, the list is very, very long. However, I will name some of the top ones:
SPOILER ALERT
Backdraft (Whose your brother Brian? You are, Steven) Without a Trace (that drive home with the little boy and Judd Hirsch gets me every time) Brian's Song, for the very speech named above The Untouchables, during the scene mentioned above (What are you prepared to do?) My Girl, during the wake, when the little girl wants to know why he isn't wearing his glasses
I could go on and on, but I'm the woman who has cried during many an Oprah episode, so that will give you a hint as to how easily I drop those tears. My mother calls me something in Italian, which I don't know how to spell, but it translates to "pissy eyes".

Perhaps, "Schindlder's List" would be the film I get most sdened by. Schindler's breakdown just before he must depart from his Jews... That gets to me. That's powerful acting and perfect use of an orchestral score.
Other films that get to me; "It's A WOnderful Life" when George Bailey runs through Bedford Falls embracing life again. It's just so good.

There have been a few movies that brought tears to my eyes. Some I can think of at the moment:
"The Godfather Part 2" (Boat scene and the ending) "The Godfather Part 3" (The Flashback when Anthony is playing- The ending) "Schindler's List" "The Pianist" "Carlito's Way" "The Passion of the Christ"
