For me, the end Beauty and the Beast (Disney version) Every. Single. Time. Even though I know that the Beast isn't really dead, and that he'll be getting up in just a moment, and turning into a guy who isn't nearly as attractive as the Beast, it gets to me.
Star Wars III: Revenge of the Sith. From when Anikin attacks the Jedi temple and kills all the Jedi, but especially when each of the individual jedi get ambushed by the Storm Troopers. Subsequent viewings don't make this easier on me. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm pathetic.
Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Season 5, "The Gift" Right when it's clear that Buffy's going to kill herself. I'm bawling like a baby. And I don't even like Buffy that much.
Robin Hood (Disney version) I'm not as bad as my sister on this particular scene, but I do get misty every time the mean ol' sheriff takes the little rabbit's birthday present. His little lip quiver when he tells Robin Hood about it gets to me every time.
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. The last memory and the knowledge that it's the last memory.
I'm sure there are more but these are the ones that come to mind first.

The room gets a little dusty:
(1) during the last 15 minutes of
The Shawshank Redemption, when Red is on his way to meet Andy.*
(2) When Forest is at Jenny's grave in
Forest Gump.**
(3) when William Wallace gets disemboweled in
Braveheart.
*I find I'm so excited, I can barely sit still or hold a thought in my head. I think it's the excitement only a free man can feel, a free man at the start of a long journey whose conclusion is uncertain. I hope I can make it across the border. I hope to see my friend, and shake his hand. I hope the Pacific is as blue as it has been in my dreams. I hope.
**I don't know if we each have a destiny, or if we're all just floatin' around accidental-like on a breeze. But I, I think maybe it's both.
