Me being the heartless ice queen that I am, in my long career of watching films, there have only been 4 that have made me cry.
1) Dumbo, quite recently, actually, but it is so sad, so don't laugh!
2) Mississippi Burning. when the KKK set fire to the black church.
3) Ladder 49. Heroes are not supposed to die!
4) Of course, Serenity. makes me cry like a baby every single time I watch it. Those who have seen it, i bet you can guess: if you can't
Select to view spoiler:
...when Wash dies *sob*
Damn you Fox! Damn you to Hades!!

Forrest Gump. "You died on a Saturday..." That whole scene where he's talking to Jenny at her gravesite. Gets me every single time.
Creator. When Virginia Madsen slips into a coma and the docs get the order to disconnect her from life support, while the man who loves her is just trying to convince them that she IS alive, she WILL wake up. It kills me.
Saving Private Ryan. The whole ending of the movie, where it segues to the present, and Ryan is visiting the graves of those who died to save him.
And Serenity, of course.

Bridges of Madison County.
When she's gripping the door handle, and he's in the truck in front just waiting...
Strictly Ballroom - tears of joy when he slides across the floor..
Watership Down, when Hazel dies...
King Kong, pretty much from the moment Kong tries to save her thinking Anne's being taken away against her will...
Serenity - as you would expect
Actually, I cry at most anything if I'm honest. Happy. Sad. Makes no difference.

I've only cried once in a movie. The Disney cartoon versionj of THE HUNCHBACK OF NOTRE DAME. Fuck you, I was 10 at the time.
But for recent flicks, I am admitting as a heterosexual guy, that I got a bit choked up at the end of BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN at the immortal last line, "Jack, I swear..." I dare you to watch that and not feel anything.
As for endings that make your spirit soar, two endings for two 98 movies are two of my favorite endings for movies. The one you would definitly know is the end of THE TRUMAN SHOW. It's such a perfect ending. Truman think's he's gonna sail off into the horizon, and then he bumps up against the wall of the studio. He knows that his entire life has been an illusion, but this clenches it for him. He finds a walk way and makes his way to the exit. But when he opens the door, Christof's voice rings out. He starts talking to Truman, and it's like watching Jesus talking to God. After Christof's speech, he says "Well say something, goddamn it. You're on television. You're live to the whole world!!!" Big dramatic pause, everyone on the entire planet is waiting. Truman turns around and simply says, "In case if I don't see ya, good afternoon, good evening and good night." Laughs, says "Yeah.", takes a bow, turns around, and walks through the door into darkness. You see Sylvia running out the door to get him, and the entire planet cheering, and Christof's face slackening as he realizes his career is over. And after the transmission ends, the two security guards just go "What else is on?"
The other one is for the Canadian flick I've been raving about, LAST NIGHT. You see all the people throughout the movie as the world is enveloped in light, with Pete Seeger's "Guantanamara" playing over the soundtrack. And the last thing we see is Patrick and Sandra, who at this point are in a mutual Mexican standoff, disregard the guns and kiss each other as the screen goes to white.
I'm sorry for hijacking this thread slightly, but those are two endings that I absolutely love and get me really emotional.

"There's only one "Return" ok, and it ain't "of the King", it's "of the Jedi."
"Maybe we should start calling your friend 'Padme' because he loves 'Mannequin Skywalker' so much, Right? (imitating robot) Danger...danger...my name is Anakin...my shitty acting is ruining saga."

...None so far...
I'm not heartless or insensitive but I just don't go down there with films. Dunno why.
There were a few episodes of Northern Exposure that had me with lumps in my throat, but no tears.

on the 29th April, my friend and I went to watch 8below. the one about the huskys. right at the end of the movie is when I near;y cried but was strong enough to hold them back.
The comedy NED makes me cry because you laugh so much.
BEACHES staring BETT MIDLER makes me cry when her childhood friend dies.
The man from snowy river. I cried when the bad man shot and killed his horse while the man from snowy river was riding her down the steep hill.

Actually, they're too many to name. I'm not a sissy, and deal with real life with a healthy overdose of sarcasm, but when it comes to movies, I'm a sucker for sentimental scenes, well-done hero moments, true love, just very well done scenes or dialogues (tears of appreciation or something, I guess), beautiful shots of nature and the like, a beautiful woman, cute kittens, doesn't matter. If it's a GOOD movie (or has ONE really good aspect), chances are I get teary-eyed at least once.
Maybe that's my outlet for the RL teariness that I subconsciously suppress with sarcasm, I dunno.
To give you all something to tease me with later instead of boring you to death with self-reflection:
I cried like a hungry baby at the end of Titanic. Not because of Jack, but because of the fact that (apart from the actual sinking having taken place, which is quite tragic in itself) Rose had such a great and free and fullfilled life after everything that happened, and after her first great (and maybe only true) love died. So much strength and dignity and, heh, serenity. I'm actually getting teary-eyed right now, just thinking about it.
Back then in the theater(!), I was literally clinging to my then girlfriend and crying like the world had ended for about 5 full minutes (everyone else had already left when I finally put myself together), and I think she didn't know if she should laugh or cry. But she said later that it was very cute.
I might add that sentimental men sometimes get rewarded with really good sex for showing their feelings.
...and I could still kill any of y'all with my pinky, so everything's shiny.
EDIT: I just cried watching Joss' Equality Now acceptance speech, btw.

Every Ed Wood movie, for obvious reasons...
Misery (Although the book is scarier)
Killer Klowns From Outer Space (possibly my favorite comedy)
Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children (The scene with Zack and Aerith, and Kadaj letting go...)
The Warriors, when Fox gets it
Back to the Future Part II, when George is 'dead'
Although, the winner has gotta be...
'The Green Mile' when Michael Duncan's watching the movie, and the ending.
Book got me tearful, but Wash...I dunno, it HAD been spoiled.
