A lot of movies get to me but there are very few that choke me up nearly every time I see it. In no particular order:
-Beauty and the Beast when the Beast dies. Yes, it is a cartoon but it is still very touching to me.
-Saving Private Ryan at the end it just makes me so sad, I cannot watch it anymore.
-Sense and Sensibility when Elinor says to Marianne, "Edward will marry Lucy, and you and I will go home.". It just makes me so sad even though I know what is going to happen later.
-Forrest Gump when Forrest is talking to Jenny at her grave.
I did not cry during Serenity. My jaw dropped, but I guess I was too caught up in the action of the moment.

Personally, I think that is an underrated movie. It was a lot better than I expected it to be.

Serenity (every darn time). I start crying when Serenity crashes. Then I'm good until the funeral, then it's all downhill from there. By the time Mal gives his little monologue on Love at the end, I'm a sobbing mess. (And I'd have it no other way.)
Out of Africa - What a beautiful movie. The end is so terribly sad.
Armageddon - I know it has some cheezy moments, but when Grace has to say goodbye to her dad - I loose it. And the end makes me wail because it's so bittersweet.
Breakfast at Tiffany's - when Holly dumps Cat in the alley. (I'm the crazy cat lady).
Monster's Inc - At the very end when Sully opens up Boo's door and Boo says "Kitty". (Hey, I have a kid - I understand these emotions now!)
Ivy
I've been sane a long while now, and change is good...

"Step Mom" hits me pretty hard. A very close friend of mine had her third bought with cancer when her son was about the same age as the boy in that movie. She asked me to be his guardian then, because her family was in Beirut, and his father... well... Anyway, I start crying during the conversation between the Moms before the Christmas sequence and straight through to the end.
Somewhere in Time, when Jane Seymour returns to the scene and screams "RICHARD!"
Homeward Bound, when the pets get back to the house. The moment that golden retriever comes up over the hill. We watched that for the first time shortly after my sister's first golden retriever died.
I start getting panicky when Serenity starts her flat spin in the BDM, because I can just hear her saying, "This isn't right! I can't protect them like this!"
Watching her crash breaks my heart, but once she's down, I know I can close my eyes for a little while. The anticipation gets worse every time I'm at a screening.
Yet I don't cry. You'd think I would, but in the back of my mind, I know Joss Whedon's got a plan for all this. There is a reason for it and if I wait a little longer, I'll find out what it is.
Waited three years for the BDM. I can wait a bit more.
At the Minneapolis screening, I met a browncoat who cries every time because her fiance is a pilot, and is serving in Iraq. She says he's never allowed to say, "I'm a leaf on the wind..." That whole correlation made me cry.

Pride of the Yankees (when Lou Gehrig - Gary Cooper - says "Today, I consider myself the luckiest man on the face of the earth.)
Romero (the end)
Life is Beautiful
And Serenity...interestingly not the first time I saw it (or the second)...but ever since I went and bought the BDS and then was so invested in all of the characters from watching the series a gazillion times that I get teary eyed a bunch of times every time I see it, and not just when Book and Wash die...like the scenes with River and Simon alone (on the ship and before River says "My turn!)...at the end with Mal and River...that "love speach.
And I know it's not officially a "movie" but the end of "The Message" always gets me too. Not just because it's great in its own right, but because it was the very last episode the BDHs filmed and they knew they were cancelled and saying goodbye to the series.

On the top of my head there are two main films that bring a tear to my eye (in a mucho manly way of coarse).
The first has to be in 'The Lion King' when Simba finds out his father is dead. I would like to think its only because I was 10 at the time, but I had to watch it last week with my nephews and... I was pathetic.
The second movie is a little peculiar. It’s an old WW2 movie called 'The Longest Day' (D-Day).
Anyhow, there’s a scene with an old Frenchman whom is bitter about the Nazis whom patrol by his house the same time, every day (occupied France). But this one-day in particular, instead of the usual routine, the allies start bombing the crap out of the French sea-border. So meanwhile while his house is getting blown to pieces; the man is ecstatic, and in tears of joy (thanking god and somewhat). It’s a touching scene (you really have to be there).
Everyone's examples are really good one too (especially Serenity & Dumbo).

I ain’t cried in a while and most of the times I can remember were when I was a kid.
The Champ. Holy shit that's one sad movie.
Charlotte’s Web. Anyone who can sit though that and not shed a tear has ice water flowing through them.
Dumbo. The scene where his ma goes to grab for him.
(also I remember crying like a little bitch when i had nightmares over the 'pink elephant' scene.

Thats so sad. Everytime I hear or read "I am a leaf on the wind" especially in the film because I know what is coming, I just fill up, I can't help myself!
Damn you Fox! Damn you to Hades!!
