It's really corny, and yet I ALWAYS cry at the end of it: Love Story (1970) with Ali MacGraw and Ryan O'Neal. They even make fun of one of the lines in Love Story in What's Up, Doc? ("Love means never having to say you're sorry." I think that's the line.) It still gets me.
Brian's Song with James Caan. What makes this sadder is that it's a true story. That one was really heartrending!
There's also Old Yeller...book or movie!
