"Out of Gas" might be the most emotional episode. The episode opens with Mal falling to the floor, then panning down to the gunshot wound. The first time I seen that, I actually said "Oh my god". Through the entire episode he is dragging himself around, on the brink of death, trying to save his ship, and his crew. Then at the end of the episode when he asks the crew if they'll still be there when he wakes up, I think I shed a few tears.
In "Ariel", When Mal has Jayne in the airlock in "Ariel". When Mal talks about how any actions against his crew were actions against him. Then when Jayne accepts the fact he is going to die and says "Make something up. Don't tell 'em what I did".
Either of River's speaches in "Safe" and "Objects in Space". River might be the best character on the show, she always has something meaningful to say, although it is very cryptic sometimes. She is the most interesting person, knowing someone like that in real life would be a blessing.
Rewatching "Objects in Space". When Inara said she was leaving, I was hurt. Mal really loved her. Then I remembered the line from Serenity, when Mal sort of confesses his feelings to her... "But you fog things up. You always have. You spin me about."

Almost every episode there is some little moment that can make me cry or make me tear up. It can be from happiness, from sadness, from annoyance and from sheer love of it and it's beauty

While I am not one to cry very often the hardest scene for me to watch is the opener for out of gas. the still images of Serenity, dead in space, empty on the inside, then the Captain falling to the floor badly wounded just tear me to pieces. The more and more i watch the shows or the movie, the more I love the verse, and the more I love it, the harder it is to see those images.
I discovered the show after it came on DVD, but only about 5 months before BDM. I think out of gas, as a whole was oddly prophetic about fox tried to kill the show, but how the fans love for the show resulted in its continuation as a movie.

I believe that Firefly, because of its depth, is one of those shows that we will all pass on to our kids, it will be known as a classic, and will be with us till we die.
Salesman: Yup. Real beauty, ain't she? Yes sir.
(The rocket-shaped vessel that the salesman is trying to sell Mal comes into view.)
Salesman: Tell you what. You buy this ship - treat her proper - she'll be with you for the rest of your life.
(But Mal has his attention caught by something else.)
Salesman: Son? Hey, son?
(As we follow Mal's point of view, we see a battered old Firefly, someday to become "Serenity," sitting on the other side of the lot.)
"How big a room?"-Jayne

"Storm's getting worse."
The finals in OoG, The Message and Safe were pretty tough on me, but realy the end of OiS had me weeping ; not so much because it meant the end of something great, but more so because it gave the impression that these people had finaly "bonded" and would keep flying, united, as one big happy family 
And I realy don't give a good gorram 'bout what happened next, canon-wise. In my mind, Josh Whedon's Firefly *ended* after
OiS. But it *ended* in a very open "and they lived not so happily for some time after"-type of way. Like if from that point on we were free to make the 'Verse our own, as if Josh himself had handed us a pen and a few stacks of paper saying "There you go!"
Oh and the BDM was great, but it realy was set on a different level of reality as far as I'm concerned. For that reason I tend to think of Firefly and Serenity as of two distinct, though intricately connected, story lines. And I Love Serenity just as much! And I love the direction it sends us on! It's just that, as I said, it never felt much like Firefly to me... Which doesn't mean it didn't sweep me off my feet, 'cause it did 
Oh man i went way off topic... Oh well, what can I say, I got carried away! So yeah, Out of Gas, The Message, Safe, and especially OiS, that open ending just always gets me

i too find there is moment in every episode that does it for me. but i find the moments are most powerful when supported by the score - both in the series and in the movie.
they really lucked out. both composers were totally brilliant. what stand out the most in my mind right now are:
the entire "love" pc starting with Wash's funeral and right when the violins start to quietly lift during River's monologue - in OiS - telling Jubal Early that she will go with him.

I totaly agree. And I can't get enough of those soundtracks. The BDM's OS is one of the top three soundtracks I've ever heard. The Funeral~Love part is sheer wonder. It would bring tears to a British Royal guard. Oh, and the Serenity anthem, with it's follow up Going For A Ride, just make me shiver with excitement.
Another strong score moment I can think of is from Bushwhacked, when Simon and River are hiding on the outside of the ship. The music in this scene just fills me with love for these two outcasts. And from this scene on... Well, that's where it all started for me, I guess. I'm having a tough time explaining it coherently, but it moved me. Deeply

yes, MOBBEX! Those are GREAT moments :0)
Also, anytime River's theme (with that achingly beautiful, but somewhat broken piano) starts to play, i get all teary eyed. Such wonderful attention to detail in all the music cues. I play the BDM soundrack in the car a lot and i can picture every single moment that each note was meant for. Just awesome, makes your hair stand.
One more wonderfully tear-jerking moment - SAFE: Simon holds River and simply says, "Light it."

Good words River's theme fits her like a glove. "...Achingly beautiful but broken" very good words !
