The lion king

I cried my eyes out when Simba was all NO!!!!!!!

Where the Red Fern Grows takes the cake for me. Of Mice and Men comes close second.

Of Mice and Men. Steinbeck > *, East of Eden was a masterpiece, one of my favorite books.

Go Ask Alice.

It's an incredible book. Every time I read it, I cry like four or five times.

Also, the ending of The Catcher in the Rye where Holden is spending time with his little sister. It always strikes me as such a beautiful time that I end up turning on the spiggot.

Where the Red Fern Grows did it for me,

I burst out laughing in class when the teacher was done reading the book and I couldn't stop so I was sent away. Of mice and men though that was sad

Beagle's _The Last Unicorn_ was suprisingly sad and touching. I don't guess it's 'sad' so much as 'melancholy'. But if you don't feel something stir inside reading that you're just a strange person.

And it isn't completely off topic... there is a cartoon interpretation (adaptation?) of it available which captures the spirit of the book remarkably well. Better even than any of the JRR Tolkien cartoons

Some of C.S. Lewis's poetry will also tear your right up. Believe it or not.

If you thought the Chronicles of Covenant were icky (which they were)... don't ever read anything else by Donaldson. He seems to get more bleak, depressing, and cynical as he gets older. Which doesn't mean he's bad: just bleak, depressing, and cynical with an odd vision of beauty.

Well, my mage twink back in 99 was named Atiaran. :P

All the books everyone has listed are really good ones. If you want to add comic books to the list the entire Sandman story was extremely well written and ultimately very sad. Lone Wolf & Cub is also storytelling at its finest, and very sad.
