My fiancé and I were watching UP. Yeah, that opening. We had to pause the movie and just hold each other for awhile, silently contemplating growing old without the other.
On a more manly note, the penultimate moment of Gurren Lagaan when He comes back to motivate Simone to pierce the heavens and escape the labyrinth, it was just too fucking perfect.
Maybe it's kind of a cop out, but I remember crying as a kid when the mammoth fell into the volcano (or whatever) in Ice Age. Then again, he didn't die. Yeah, I don't really cry watching movies/shows. The closest I got to crying was probably the ending of Amadeus.
Most recently, The Future Past DLC for Fire Emblem Awakening. Was not expecting anything so hard hitting.

The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya. When Kyon has to go back to his dimension or whatever and hands the application back to Nagato. Jesus I thought my heart was gonna disintegrate when I saw her face.
Scrubs - My Screw Up: First time i watched this i didn't register the subtle hits and the ending just crushed me.
Scrubs - My Lunch: Seeing Dr Cox just become so depressed was horrible.
For me it was multiple times during Skins... I am at the end of Season 4, and some of those episodes are powerful at an emotional level... I think because it is raw and realistic of things that do happen (at times).
Also.... Of Mice and Men... from the first time I read it, to the last time I have watched it... gets me everytime!
the first thing that comes to mind in voices of a distant star.
From what i remember
earth is attacked by aliens and earth attacks back by chasing them through space. it follows 2 people one on earth and one in the army attackign the aliens. because of speed of radio waves and the speed they are travelling away from earth. its full of things like "happy 24th birthday from my 16 year old self" so the on on earth keeps getting messages further and further apart while for the one in the army its been only a fraction of the time.
Avatar - The Last Airbender. Twice. The first time when they get Appa back (''I missed you buddy'') and the reunion of Zuko and Iroh in the finale.
Kung Fu Panda 2. Don't judge a book by its cover, is what it taught me. I thought this movie was going to be stupid, and yet Po's backstory broke me. In half.

I cry really easily in movies. It's not even really an emotional response, in loud theaters, if there's these kinds of low rumbling noises you can feel in your body, my eyes start tearing up. Also 3D might cause that.
But speaking of emotional responses, Land Before Time still gets me to tears.
Also Mission Impossible TV-series but that's because I used to watch it with someone who is dead now.
And anything that has animals, especially cats, dying.
Also if we're naming games, the ending of Ghost Trick. So bittersweet.
And books, well, a death in Sinuhe Egyptiläinen was THE fictional death of my childhood.
I was 6 or 7, 8 at most when I first started reading it and stopped when
Minea, one of the women Sinuhe loves during his life, dies. And to top it off, her murderer gets away with it. SInuhe is too depressed to take revenge or take him to justice, and he notes that since revealing the truth would destroy the main religion of Minos, and plunge them into chaos, doing it would cause more harm than good.
Which is ironic considering his later involvement in the Egyptian civil war, but whatever.
I took it hard and wrote fanfiction where Minea is saved and her murderer goes to jail. I did finish the book later, and it's still one of my favourite novels. It has other depressing stuff, I mean, the main character had already driven his parents to suicide at that point, and all the murder rape. death and destroyed idealism hadn't even gotten into full swing.
Since you didn't specify tears of sadness or joy, I'm going to mix the two.
Samurai Jack Season 1, Episode 10
Jack vs The Lava Monster. Makes me cry every time.
-----
The end of Moulin Rouge when he's crying over his love (no that's not a spoiler, he freaking says as much in the opening sequence of the movie ) . Hated the movie with a passion, but I did tear up at the end, despite all the terrible musical numbers I had to sit through. *shudders*
Never really cry. Am far too manly for that! *cough*
Closest anything's gotten me is easily Futurama's Jurrasic Bark. Game of Tones' ending got me pretty close too, that one really made me want to call my mom just to tell her I love her.
Didn't of course, she'd think I was on drugs or something, or maybe about to kill myself.
That show surprised the hell out of me when a friend forced me to sit down and watch it. I had always avoided it until that point because I didn't think anything good could come out of modern Nickelodeon. It has since then become my all time favorite show.
-Any of Don Bluth's films from the 80's. 'Secret of NIMH', 'An American Tail', 'All Dogs Go To Heaven' and 'A Land Before Time'.
-Never Ending Story... Artax.
-Futurama: Fry saying goodbye to his Mom, Leela finding her parents, Fry's Nephew, 'The Sting', the original finale... Seymour.
Big Fish and Meet Joe Black,the ending, both are just great goddamn movies.
Seeking a Friend for the End of the World, I'm a dad of two wonderful little girls so a part towards the end hit me pretty damn hard, and by the time the credits were rolling I was literally bawling my eyes out.
Cowboy Beebop, that ending...epic.
Futurama, Jurassic Bark...I can't even watch that episode anymore, I gotta go hug my dog now, thanks Escapist.
And oddly enough the ending of the Jet Li movie Hero, odd but it's the truth.
Not very many things can make me cry. Sadness usually makes me smile (yes, my own included) and I do generally show a lack of empathy. I don't LACK empathy, I understand other's sadness and feel empathy or sympathy... just don't show it much.
That said, Jurassic Bark... cried like a baby. Didn't want to watch it again even though it's a very funny episode (Fry doing the Hustle for Justice.) I can now that they retconned its sad ending, but I do feel that removed something special from the episode too.
Cowboy Bebop's ending... didn't but it was a near thing. But there was a moment in Trigun (maybe not the one you think.) It wasn't the bent cigarrette hitting the church floor. It was Milly's reaction to it a little later. Staying that cool in front of Meryl, and then seeing someone who's usually so overly optimistic and happy crying... my heart was breaking. Those reactions get me a little more than the incidents themselves. Like the "sad moment" for Ren halfway through Kaze no Stigma. It wasn't until the comedy episode at the amusement park after the "sad episode" that it got to me. Ren looking at the feris wheel just as it is lighting up in a manner similar to the little sun he made for Ayumi. Don't know why but it seemed sadder then than it even did at the time.
