The Steve McQueen movie "LeMans" when the Ferrari 512 crashed and burned, and then later when Steve McQueen's "Porsche 917" (actually a Lola T70 fitted with a 917 body) also crashed. I happen to like the Lola T70 series.
The Ferrari 512 has been restored to its original condition. What happened to the Lola? Who knows? I've heard that the real Porsche 917 that Steve drove in the movie is now owned by Jerry Seinfeld.

"The Natural", when Roy Hobbs (Robert Redford) is considering throwing the game but upon learning the son he didn't know he had was in the stands, goes for the win instead. OK, not so much.
"Star Trek: The Wrath of Khan" during Spock's funeral when Kirk gets choked up.

It was Old Yeller for me, but I was still in knickers.
Old Yeller for sure.
I didn't cry, but I couldn't enjoy the rest of the movie when in the opening scenes of Raiders, Indiana Jones uses his bull whip to snatch the Colt SAA out of his conniving guide's hand and it landed in the creek. I don't believe anyone picked that gun up! Am I the only one disturbed by this? Is that gun still laying in that creek?

Lion King when his father died trying to save his son was a little hard to watch too

I find that as I get older, closing in on 70 now, my eyes have become a lot more sensitive to pollen and such floating around. Like this morning when I looked at this clip from today's Shooting Wire.

It is worth a look, even if you have seen it before.

worse yet...
dunno if you know this, but.....
... when they were shooting the movie, Eastwood was sposed to toss the gun onto a mat off camera. He missed the mat & the gun went skittering down the pavement.

A big +1 on what FrankD 45 said

There was an HBO movie about bringing home an Iraq casualty called "Taking Chance" that had me reaching for my man card to turn in, but I have to also agree with FRANKD45 said.

At the end of Saving Private Ryan, when the elder Ryan asks if he has been a good man, get's me every @#$% time. AND, the interviews with the real men from E company in Band of Brothers when they talk about each other as friends.
"Taking Chance", the story of a KIA Marine's journey home, with Kevin Bacon as the Marine Lt. Col. escorting his body, got me throughout the movie. If you haven't seen it, you must.
Also, the opening of "Saving Private Ryan" where the old veteran went to visit the graves of his D-Day buddies, was heart-wrenching.
"Marley and me" and "My Dog Skip" also had some moments for anyone who has ever loved a loyal dog.

Brian's Song...yes, that one made me cry...Awakenings when DeNiro knew he was slipping back into a coma...Forrest Gump when he asked Jenny if his son was stupid...that really got me.
Almost any recent movie where a singer usually female thinks that she can act. Gives me the willies.
Taking Chance is a good one especially when they show pictures of the real Chance Phelps. Old Yeller, Where the Red Fern Grows, I also agree with Saving Private Ryan. Not a movie, but Ken Burns' Civil War miniseries when you see and read or hear some of the comments and letters. Sullivan Ballou's letter to his wife before going into battle and being killed in action set to the tune of Ashokan Farewell is another one that is emotional.

Predator...when Schwarzenegger says, "If it bleeds, we can kill it."
