Old Yeller, Wrath of Khan, E.T., Schindler's List (which I've never been able to sit through till the end), and LOTR: The Return of the King. When Aragorn said to the Hobbits, "My friends, you bow to no one" I was a blubbering, waffling idiot. And surprisingly (and I can hear people laughing already) near the end of Pokemon: The First Movie when Pikachu tries in vain to revive Ash with his electric powers. My son, who was 5 at the time, was crying very softly. I broke down and then I noticed every adult in the theater was sniffling and wiping their eyes.
Sorry...I'm a little verklempt now.

Ah, I concur with Wrath of Khan -- I was 14 in the theater and a big
Spock fan. The whole scene made me cry so hard I thought I was going
to throw up ... "You are .... and always will be .... my friend"
So glad I've burned all compassion out of my heart since then.

Also, what about Billy Boyd's Lyrics in RotK?
Home is behind. The world ahead.
And there are many paths to tread.
Thru shadow to the edge of night.
Until the stars are all alight.
Mist and shadows, cloud and shade.
All shall fade. All shall fade.

Dungeons & Dragons: The first time I saw this, when Snails dies, I was drawn to tears.
Last of The Mohicans: Several times throughout the derned movie. I always have to stop it to get a tissue.
Homeward Bound: The INcredible Journey: First time i saw this, I was like 15 or so, and I was crying, my gf was crying, my little brother and sister were crying...
The 13th Warrior: The end, when the Bear Warrior's (Wendel?)are coming, and they start praying to thier gods, always builds me up, then when Bulwye (Spelling?) dies, but is sitting like a King Of Old on the throne, his hand on his sword next to him, just makes me cry. Wished I was there.
Highlander: The series. Yeah, not a movie, but when Richie was killed I chucked my soda across the room, and started blatting. I must have cried for an hour, even went and cried to my mom, who comforted me. I was 17.
Highlander: Endgame. Not one of the best movies (Martial arts were good, love the sword fighting however), but when Connor died, the whole darn theater was in tears.
The Last Samurai: Anyone who doesn't cry at this movie and want to rip out that fat pompous villain's throat needs to have his head checked for Drow DNA
Cats: The Broadway Musical. At the end, When grizzabella sings her song, I always tear up. I was at this restaurant with the wife on valentine's day, and they played this song, and I lost it.
Lone Wolf Mcquade: When the bad guys shoot Chuck Norris' Dog. I always cry, and the way he just walks out and buries it, without a word, just stunning filmography. After that, it was payback time.
Xena: Warrior Princess: There was a few I cried at. Always a sucker for loyalty among friends.

Damn, I thought I was the only one.
Babylon 5, when Londo MOllari accepts the keeper from the drakh. We all knew it was coming and we spent so much time hating him the series, but this finally happens after he manages to somewhat redeem himself after the crimes he commited during the shadow war. It is a tragic, powerful scene.
And of course Old Yeller. Hell, my three year old daughter just pulled out the video tape and watched that for the first time today. I napped through the entire thing and only caught the last five minutes, but that was enough.

Lemme think...
Wings of the Dove brought out the tears in me at the end.
Four Weddings and a Funeral -- the reciting of "Funeral Blues" always pulls me apart.
Forrest Gump -- him talking at the gravesite just grabs me and won't let the tears stop.
Those scenes always get me, and several other films do at least once in a while.
Oh, and my ex always used to cry at the end of My Fair Lady; go figure.
**strikes head like an idiot** D'OH! I forgot RotK! AGH! Take away my geek license!

The Lord of the Rings made me cry a lot too, especially in the theaters, just because I was so rapt by seeing my favorite book brought so spectacularly to the screen. When I went to see The Return of the King with my family, we all spent the last half hour weeping.
She had a feeling.
I understand that in the first draft of the screenplay, when Keith is calling after her, he finally gets her attention by calling to her by her first name. If that had made it into the final cut, I'd have been crying buckets by the time Lick the Tins' "Can't Help Falling in Love" started playing.
"Hey Watts! Watts!! ... Susan!!!"
*sniff*
