People associate "emotional" with sadness and crying. This scene made me feel tense and excited, which are emotions, no?

Just watched the fault in our stars with my gf, her and i cried like a big bunch of bitches. If i watched this 8 years ago when i was single i would not give a damn, now that ive been in a relationship with her for 7 years, hits hard so hard.

5 Centimeters Per Second's ending
A sea of memories flood back, set to Masayoshi Yamazaki's "One More Time, One More Chance". The whole movie, set in three parts, tells the story of a boy's strugle with what is likely his first love and with nearly all first loves, dealing with that strange emptiness as it seems the world conspires to end that love. In the first act, we seeour protagonist struggle and work for that first love, only to eventually be separated beyond all contact by the widening maw of distance and time. In second half, we see him struggle to cope with the feelings of powerlessness, emptiness, and obliviousness that all seem to follow young adults. And in the last act, we his depressed, anxiety ridden state as an adult in the real world, plauged by a series of poor relationships that don't match this ideal in his head of the girl he lost long ago...and then on a chance meeting at the traintracks of his youth, he gets the split opportunity to see the love of his past, only to be taken denied by the trains that have so long hindered him. When the trains pass, she's gone...but he's okay. He's moved on. He's let go.
The montage (set to this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fKiFlKFFgpc) two thirds into Saint Young Men
The whole movie has seen roommates-on-vacation-to-Earth Jesus and Buddha (yes, that's right) bizarre, but lighthearted interactions with the people around them, from all walks of life. But then they seeming disappear for but a moment, and we see, in the soft light of a sunset, the hole the people feel they left behind, missing who they were and the brightness they brought.
The ending of The Place Promised in Our Early Days
Our heroine has been a strange coma throughout the later part of the film, yet has been able to witness reality vividly while asleep. Her childhood friend comes and rescues her after years apart, sacrificing all to fly him and her comatose body to the strange tower reaching into the sky, trying to fulfill a childhood promise he made to take her there, as well as wake her up. She's fallen in love him while dreaming and witnessing everything but when he breaks the tower holding her in her dream, she awakes, still in love with him, but she can't recall why, the memories fading like a dream you no longer remember.
Ending of Wolf Children
We see the two titular wolf children, the last of their kind, struggling to figure out where they belong, and their single mother, trying desperately to hold their strange little family together. She's witnesses them struggle to fit in and even deal with each other. Her daughter works well in human society but her son struggles to understand, everyday spending more time in the wild, and she's faced with a tough choice but makes one with a strong face: she lets them choose their own happiness, wherever that is.

Gibson is so heavy-handed as a director sometimes (often), but when it works..man.

Most of The Green Mile, but particularly the scene where Bubba heals the woman's cancer. Always chokes me up.
And Marley and Me...for obvious reasons.

Have to agree. Never before has a movie hit me so hard at the beginning than this did. It goes from sweet to heartbreaking instantly and the music says it all for the scene.
damn you toy story 3
Iron Giant Superman scene
Dammit, getting tears in my eyes now. Pixar really knows how to do it. Had me crying in the theater when I saw Toy Story 3. I grew up with those characters much like Andy did and that whole movie was emotional. Love that movie.

Obviously too many to name so I'll drop a random one. The ending of Gattaca really gets to me for some reason. The beautiful music, the poetic line he says about going home, what's happening to the different characters.

Yeah, The Green Mile pretty much destroyed me the first time I saw it. Sure movies can make me teary eyed and cry, but like the way The Green Mile did? Not every close, man I never realized just how hard this movie would make me cry, wow.

Yep.
FILTH gets you real good - or at least it got me... when the movie ended, I was a fucking wreck.
Synecdoche New York's second half.
Requiem for a Dream, obviosuly.
I can't even point out single scenes, the entire movies are just a huge feel fest.
