....that beginning montage in "Up". That was such a low blow. And, ofcourse Futurama, the episodes "Luck of the Fryish" and "Jurassic Bark".
Best goddam show ever.

I'm in agreance with the Last Samurai, first time I saw Armageddon I wept alittle, and having to put down long-time family pets. I just recently lost one of my Saint Barnards after having her since she was a puppy in highschool (2002-3). Also, mostly any movie where they show a wounded man deciding that in order to save his commrads he must fight with his dying breath to hold them off as long as he can.
My cat Duncan, generally it's tears of laughter, often joy, but sometimes just for love.
A feral long-haired cat that I've had since a kitten, mad as a box of frogs.

But the ending-ish of the first story arc of Naruto
[spoiler/] Sasuke sacrifices himself to save Naruto, and "dies" in his arms; Naruto gets talked into killing Haku (I know neither of those actually end up happening, since Sasuke lives and all that, but it still gets me); Sakura breaks down over Sasuke because a)she loves him and thinks he's dead; b)she feels like she isn't allowed to cry because of the ninja rules; and c)they're all TWELVE; Zabuza has an awesome yet incredibly depressing fight with/getting stabbed by a bunch of thugs; Kakashi and Zabuza's manly/...ninja-ly respect for one another, particularly when Kakashi carries Zabuza over to Haku's body; and Zabuza's whole death scene.
Sorry about the venting, but this more than anything else made me appreciate that for all the silly moments in Naruto, the writers do recognize that this is a pretty dark world for kids to be running around in, and they hammer it home in the team's first real mission. [/spoiler]
did get the tears flowing.
Also, the novel "The Book Thief." I knew it would be depressing going into it because, well, it's WWII Germany. I don't cry very easily, despite the above, but I had a flood of tears going for the last hundred pages. Not very manly, in retrospect, but I challenge you to read it and not cry.

Clair de Lune by Claude Debussy makes me cry most of the time.

Schindler's List, especially when
and the first 10 minutes of Up. Only Pixar could make you care about an animated couple that quickly.

Clannad... T~T Just... so much...
Okay, okay, now that the obvious answer is out of the way,
Well, really, I could go on with a giant list of Anime that had their tearful moments, like in Minami-ke, when Kana and Chiaki thought Haruka was going overseas, or in Manabi Straight, when Mika -did- leave for overseas... see, I could go on.

The Color Purple.
That film makes me a walking water bucket, the entire way through.
Also playing through the Leliana's Song DLC. I always liked Leliana, and it's a credit to Bioware's writing that you can be so immersed in someone's back story that it provokes an emotional response from you.
Other than that, I don't ever really cry (that's my problem, I bottle stuff up and it explodes later) except at some music.
One song being "Solitude" by Evanescence (it was very situational, doesn't bother me any more) and another being "There You'll Be" by Faith Hill. Obvious reasons, if you've heard it.

The scenes in the film version of Rent prior and after Angel's Death always hit me crazy hard. The song at his funeral is one of, if not THE best in the film.
Euphie Dying, Shirley Dying, Nunnally Crying because Lelouch wanted to die, all from Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion, the first 2 just make me sad but it's the Nunnally one that almost gets me to cry, i hate seeing her sad like that, if i could i would go into C's world and drag Lelouch's sorry ass out and kicking it for doing that to Nunnally,
The very end of Les Misérables. During that final scene, and the trio between Fontaine, Eponine, and Valjean. It just makes me.......
The ending of Red Dead Redemption definitely hit home.
And Up. The entire film. I watched it with my partner and the two of us just sat there and cried for an hour and a half.
And I'll admit a little prickle when
