No shame in crying at ET dude. It knows exactly how to pluck your heartstrings.
It always gets me ;(
There was space for both of them.
Let's see. I don't remember crying, but I did get sad with Léon.
I hate it when movies try to make you cry,
you can see from miles away when the writers/director wanted you to drop your tears in particular "breakdown" scenes. I fucking hate it and instead of crying I hate it and roll my eyes.
that being said, when the story and what's happening is strong by itself I will shed a tear or two.
the last time I truly cried was.. Moulin Rouge in that last scene before
... Dancer in the Dark made me cry but just by watching youtube videos,lol

Oh god yeah.
21 Grams -
Saving Private Ryan - radar station
Terminator 2 - the ending (I was young!)
Good Will Hunting - "it's not your fault"
Probably more, those are the first that spring to mind.

I cried through all the credits for Waltz with Bashir in the cinema. Hit me like an emotional ton of bricks. At first, I thought because I've never had such a level of reaction with a movie, this was deemed my favourite movie ever. But then with every rewatch, it's a genuinely great movie with smartly paced tonal and genre shifts. Obviously, I've made everyone I know, watch the movie and see them well up too. Share that cathartic cry.
I definitely cried at the ending of Children of Men. Maybe that's why I was so disappointed with Gravity, it didn't do anything for me and that Europa Report satisfied my hard sci-fi itch a lot more.
Ari Folman's newest movie, The Congress, made me a bit teary during the last 30 min, but not to quite the level of Waltz.
Same here. Actually the same is true with every animated movie. Some of them are excellent, absolutely flawless, but I never really feel much watching those apart from maybe a little bit of joy. Maybe my inner child is missing or something. Also the same issue with Big Fish, it was just a movie that happened and I'm sad I didn't get more out of it.
Recently, the last scene of Captain Phillips got me. Into the Wild, Green Mile, the usual stuff. Also for whatever reason Warrior (2011). Rarely see people talking about that film. It's so by the books but it just completely works for me.

I'd wager helping destroy the most fearsome lieutenant of Sauron deserves a bow.
Up has a fantastic intro but then ended up being a standard "grumpy old man softens up" film.

This. Like getting slugged in the stomach.
This! The part where
Her friend rushes up to Bjork about to get hanged to give her son's glasses and told her he didn't need them anymore

I always choke them back in public but there have been quite a few movies I've teared up during while watching alone. The ending to Gattaca is the only specific example that comes to mind though.
The ending of the crow, that song sung by the girl over the credits "it can't rain all the time" just like Eric's line in the film and his fictitious bands song and the fact that Brandon Lee died on set 
Sicko - i couldn't keep it in knowing that those people were suffering and got no help, it doesn't matter what you think about Michael Moore, or the movie, what matters is that too many people in america and the rest of the world get mistreated horribly by their own governments, stories like that always upset me.

Never met someone who didnt cry while watching this
This movie, ugh, I watched it without knowing a THING about about it. Man did it destroy me. Not a single good emotion to be had in this movie (but its still incredibly powerful)
Ha! I remember drunkinly telling my friend to watch that one Friday night. Refused to tell him anything about it. He watched it the next day at like 2pm and it completely destroyed him. I felt bad.
I don't think so, I have gotten misty eyed though. I was about 25 and the girlfriend and I rented "Bridge to Terabithia", was a nice story, then the ending came and I was like "what the fuck!??!", total hit in the balls out of nowhere.
Edit: I take that back, The Tree of Life made me cry. Mainly because I just buried my younger brother that morning and just happened to watch the movie later that night, not knowing what it was about (partly about a brother losing his sibling in his late teens). I don't think it would make most people cry though.

Most recently was when I was watching Life of Pi - at home, on Blu-ray, thank goodness. It was at the part when
I just burst into tears. That film was brilliant.
Richard Parker and Pi are at Death's door just before they come across that carnivorous floating island - Richard Parker lying there, about to give up...
