Definitely in click. My dad had just died of a heart attack and I rented that thinking it would help me laugh. Boy was I wrong. I honestly know it is the hardest I have ever cried during a movie.

Gotta agree with the above about those two scenes in The Pacific.

Agree with some others I've already seen here ... Field of Dreams, Rocky and Rocky II, Armageddon ....

"Oh, Captain, my captain!" As a teacher, that gets me every time.

ABATT nailed it for me. I don't know if it was unexpected, but both of those lines got me bad.

Hook - "I want to go home, dad." My dad said that one always got him. Maybe not teary, but he choked up a little.

Season one of the West Wing. Charlie asks Mrs. Landingham why she seems sad during Christmas and she says "I miss my boys". And tells the story of her twin boys who were killed in Viet Nam on Christmas Eve. Tearing up right now just thinking about it.

Delivering the telegrams in "We Were Soldiers."

Ending of "Saving Private Ryan."

"Up" xEleventybillion.

I was getting ready for it toward the end of "Toy Story 3" when they are in the incinerator. When they all exchange the knowing looks and take each others' hands, I just about lost it like a little baby. But then, THE CLAW!!!

I have seen Shawshank Redemption 100 times, and every time I see Red walking on the beach toward Andy's boat I lose it.

I work for a school district and was observing in a middle school classroom recently while they were viewing the last half of Apollo 13. Couldn't believe I was struggling to hold back the tears. Would have been brutal in a room full of 12 year olds.

Speed Racer, during the race where you see him ghosting how his brother did on the track and pull back at the finish as to not beat his brothers record.

I remember seeing my dad start crying in the theater at Forrest Gump when he realizes little Forrest is his son and asks Jenny "Is he smart or is he stupid?"

For me: The Shield finale when you realize that Shane has killed Mara (who is pregnant) and Jackson ... and himself.

That opening sequence of Up is crushing. We were between the time when my wife had a miscarriage and before she got pregnant again. We could barely watch the rest of the movie.

The ones that jump out at me from this thread:

Toy Story 3 - From the time they all accept that they are about to be destroyed through the end is rough.

HP 8 - Entire Snape flashback with Lily is tough

Fresh Prince - Will asking why his dad doesn't love him...wow.

Oh man...I forgot that one. The scene where he's laying under that train really sick and hallucinating about his mom back home. That scene is brutal, gets me every time.

The scene in MASH where it's announced that Colonel Blake's plane got shot down and he didn't survive. If I remember right, Radar was the only one to be told about that change in the script so all of the reactions from the other actors were real and not acted

this one is more towards the OP's original sentiment.

IIRC it was shown to end the final clip show which came on the week before the series finale.

Also using Green Day's "Time of Your Life", the episode of ER when Jeannie Boulet, who had been dutifully taking care of Anspaugh's son, sang it so poignantly at the boy's funeral. SO sad.

Wow this.

If you were like me and just a small kid with the first Toy Story came out, Toy Story 3 hit you right in the gut.
