Das Boot's ending.
Haven't really cried when watching a movie, but this scene in Grave of the Fireflies is definitely the saddest:

Whenever a game uses "middleware," I expect mediocrity. Just see how poor TLOU looks.
This is for a very recent movie so I'll spoiler tag but in Ghibli's newest movie The Tale of The Princess Kaguya:
Masterpiece
the entire end sequence where the moon people come to take her back, and put the robe on her that will make her forget her time on Earth. The visuals were amazing, the people fighting to keep her including her adorable little assistant was sweet, then on the trip in space, Kaguya looks back at Earth, a hint that she hasn't fully forgotten her human loved ones. Then when they disappear into the distance/moon, and they show one final image of baby Kaguya (little Bamboo) against the moon, that's when I lost it 
Masterpiece
The part were Sara's friend hug and cry in the bank after visiting her always gets me. Heartwrenching.
The ending of One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest is another one of my favourites too, very emotional.

I'm not the one to ask: I can show restraint in life but during movies I'm gone.

Essentially anything dealing with sacrifice for the greater good, usually loved ones.
Peter Jackson's King Kong
When he's climbing the building and realizes bullets hurt, then the girl comes and he switches from avoiding them to taking every one.
When he sacrifices himself to the volcano.
When he gets beat up the first time then goes back out.

More people need to understand a real hero isn't in it for the praise.

Armageddon. Harry saying goodbye to Grace.
Every. Fucking. Time.
You can't be serious. Nothing wrong with tearing up, but Armageddon?

The Lego Movie in general. I hate to use the term but "nostalgia bomb" was the only way to describe it.
Also, Toy Story 3, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2, The Return of the King and Source Code, of all things.
I cry at TV much more than I cry at movies.

This was fucking cruel. I WAS NOT PREPARED FOR THIS AND NEITHER WAS ANY OTHER KID IN THE 80S

Only the ending of 12 Years A Slave has ever even made me slightly tear up. I feel like that's kinda an odd one but something about Ejiofor's delivery really got to me.

Brought a tear to my eye in the cinema when i first saw this, still does.
Terminator 2 - Self-termination
People say this film is rubbish (i disagree) i watched this at the cinema & i left stunned, the final scene, i hope the future is not like this.
Gattaca - Discrimination By DNA
I was truly gutted when this happened, so sad.
Inglourious Basterds - Shosanna Dies
The music really adds to this, but it is when the crowd all rise up.....
Gladiator -Maximus falls

My mate used to cry at this as a kid. Though I reckon it still gets him choked up even today.
The all time king is Dancer in the Dark for me. Even knowing what's coming in some of those scenes is enough to do it. And it's not even the ending that gets me.
Others that get me good are parts of Brave and Up.
Also, this bit at the end of Field of Dreams does the trick, too.

Interstellar
Twice, at least. Talking to his daughter before he leaves and him checking the car to seeing if she stowed away, and then when they get back from the first planet and he checks the years of messages left for him. Both killed me.

The opening of Up ruined me. End of toy story 3. Actually most Pixar movies have made me cry at one point.

Any Spanish or Foreign film fans that have seen La Lengua de las Mariposas? I've only seen it once, a few years back when I was studying abroad. Fantastic movie with a gut-wrenching final scene.

the kids start singing the nursery rhyme in unison. I was doing so well up until then, and I just lost it.
Pretty much any singing will make me bawl. Secret of Kells and Song of the Sea. :/

Saw all the usuals posted. I'll post both Rugrats movies, specifically:
This whole moment and the lulluby scene following absolutely destroyed me when I was eight. I have a little brother too, so the whole sequence hit that much harder.
Rugrats in Paris pulled no punches either, just fucking five minutes in and we get this heart wrenching scene of Chuckie standing alone as his friends dance with their mothers. To this day I need to swallow the feels if I happen to catch it.

I have never cried during a film, but when I saw this film in highschool I felt shitty for at least a week. I recommend it to everyone if you haven't seen it. Pretty heavy stuff.

What I mean is I don't cry. I don't produce tears. I haven't in the past 15 years. I go through an emotional shock, but I can't cry. I don't mind.

The first time I saw Devdas and its ending was the first and only time I got close to crying due to a movie. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ySlQVxSZxq0
Such a beautiful, amazing film. It was, at the time (I don't think it still is but idk), the most expensive Bollywood movie ever made.
A little short, spoiler summary for those that don't understand and probably will never watch this 3-4 hour movie.

Paro and Devdas are childhood friends who are separated when Devdas is sent to school in England. Paro lights a candle that she never lets go out - she says the candle symbolizes Devdas and as long as it remains lit, he will return to her. He returns like 10+ years later when Paro and Devdas are both now adults. The two immediately fall in love and Paro's mother is overjoyed. Devdas's mother, however, is a bitch and extremely jealous of Devdas's relationship with Paro, especially as their family is beneath them economically. Paro's mother approaches Devdas's family and offers them Paro as Devdas's bride, but they reject and mock Paro's mother for even entertaining the thought that they'd let someone of such low birth into their family. Devdas, upon hearing of this, has a huge fight with his parents and angrily leaves the village, leaving Paro with a letter where he says he never loved her.
Devdas begins to spend time in a brothel with his friend and a prostitute named Chandramuki (or something like that) and develops a drinking problem. Chandramuki begins to fall in love with Devdas, but Devdas still loves Paro and, months and months (maybe a year or more??) after he originally left, he returns to his village to apologize to Paro. It turns out Paro is being wed to a wealthy widower who already has grown children of his own. Devdas asks Paro to run away with him, but Paro tells him she would have done so before he selfishly left her. Devdas then sees her being wed and leaves, but not before promising to visit her on her doorstep one last time before he dies.
He returns to the brothel and his drinking problem becomes more severe. Chandramuki, unable to stop him, seeks the help of Paro to get Devdas to stop drinking. She, however, is unable to do much. Paro and Chandramuki become friends and slay a dance routine, before one of Paro's in-laws, who frequents Chandramuki's brothel, exposes Chandramuki's career and Paro for hanging out with prostitutes. Paro's husband, disgusted and disappointed in Paro, keeps her under house arrest, refusing to let her even take a step outside.
Months later, Devdas has been pretty much been doing nothing but drinking nonstop, and realizing how weak and sick he becomes, he suspects he's nearing the end of his life. He takes a train to Paro's village where, with his final energy, makes it to the front of Paro's house's front gates before he collapses. Paro, who only learns of a sick man laying outside the house days later, calls her stepson into her room to ask him about the man (this happens in the linked video). He tells her it's someone from her home village named Devdas. Stunned, she asks him how he knows and he begins to provide her with the items they found on Devdas (ID, letters from his parents, etc.). Realizing Devdas has come to fulfill his promise to her, the rest of the scene plays out.
