I watched Saving Private Ryan and the part that got to me was when Nathan Fillion's character the "not correct" Private Ryan thinks that his brothers are dead and he starts crying I bawled (well, at least teared up)
Brian's Song (2001) starring Sean Maher as Brian Piccolo. One of the final scenes when Brian tells his wife, Joy, that he loves her (and he hasn't the whole movie up until that point)gets me EVERY TIME I watch it! (I bought the DVD)
And I cannot forget Steel Magnolias!

As someone else has mentioned, "Luck of the Fryrish" for me - its hilarious, and then at the end you are in floods of tears at a cartoon. A small moment of genius.
In terms of films, there are a fair few that turn on the waterworks, but foremost is probably Chasing Amy.
As for TV, well Buffy, Angel, Firefly (River's speech in Objects in Space, the end of the Message) and Farscape - as well as a number of episodes of Quantum Leap. The king of all these for me is B5, several episodes throughout the years. The one that hits me hardest is Passing Through Gethsemane - not just the final scenes, for obvious reasons, but the moment where Brad Dourif's character questions his faith - for someone profoundly unreligious it amazes me how that scene gets me every time; I ascribe it to the level of honesty in the writing and acting.
As for songs, well, don't even get me started...

What does do it is Buffy - just about every ultra-classic episode (Passion, Becoming, The Prom (YES to whoever mentioned Wild Horses), The Body, The Gift, Grave). Every great John/Aeryn moment in Farscape. The end of Babylon 5, the last ten minutes in particular, really get me, and the final shot of the station and the closing monologue put me out of comission for a good hour.
The last four episodes of B5 are full of those moments for me - the goodbyes between the characters. As for SiL - well after "nice day for a drive", I'm no use to man nor beast.

Another vote for "La Marseillaise" in Casablanca. Who'd have thought that the French national anthem could have us all teary?
How about the reel of cuts at end of "Cinema Paradiso"? That always gets me and its hard to describe why.
I can think of so many more but won't list them all.
For TV how about the end of Blackadder goes Forth? Also Firefly: Objects in Space - I love that episode so much.

Don't know if anyone's seen A.I. Artificial Intelligence, but the bit where Haley Joel Osment's character, David, says to his mum (when she has to abandon him in the forest as he isn't her 'real' son) ''If you let me, I'll be so real for you'' just gets me every time, and then the bit at the end where he finally gets his wish (in a way) and then...well, I ain't gonna spoil the end for anyone who hasn't seen it but it's such a beautiful movie. *blubs*
Others?:
Running On Empty (with late, great River Phoenix)
Titanic
Untamed Heart (possibly Christian Slater's finest performance)
The Land Before Time
The Sixth Sense
One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest
...others I can't think of right now.

Ah, tv shows?
Buffy, definitely, including The Prom, Becoming, The Body, The Gift, Chosen.
Also Angel (which is my fave show) - particularly Hero, There's No Place Like Plrtz Glrb, Birthday, Home, You're Welcome, Shells and Not Fade Away. I love Angel! *sigh* *misses Angel*

Has anyone else mentioned "In America"?? I'm a sucker for stories about children who die, but this one was just devastating. So beautifully directed, and so poignant without being crass and maudlin.
I have never sobbed like that at a movie in my life ... I had to rush into the theatre bathroom and wash my face for about 20 minutes before I could go out to dinner afterwards, and even then I kept welling up every time I thought about it.
Shit, I'm getting teary just thinking about it to type this note!
WONDERFUL, moving, fabulous film. The thing that got me bawling even more hysterically was the credit at the end of the movie, when the writer/director (Jim Sheridan) dedicated the film to his dead brother, and I realized the story was semi-autobiographical.
I highly recommend renting this one. Just make sure you have an entire box (or two) of tissue handy.

P.S. As for TV, I don't think I'll be able to watch the "Buffy" episode "The Body" ever again. I watched it for the first time shortly after my mom died and I thought I'd never stop crying.
