Armageddon almost made me cry too but that's because I stayed through the whole thing and realized that I'd never get my money back.

I concur about Toy Story 3. It's one of only two movies to EVER make me cry. The whole movie tugs at my heartstrings to such a degree that I'm not entirely sure I'll ever be able to watch that movie again. But here's the moment that put me over the edge...
The part that really got me was when Andy referred to Rex as the most ferocious dinosaur. Andy always saw Rex as how he wanted to be and not how he saw himself. It's a very powerful moment for me, since I often have the same neuroses & lack of self-confidence that Rex does. Sometimes we just need one other person to redeem us by seeing us the way we want to be seen.
The only other movie that actually made me cry was Frequency. It's the big father/son montage in the middle of the film that gets to me. It reminds me of a lot of the issues that I have with my own father (who is also a Mets fan).
After seeing how much of a mess the movie becomes after that (admittedly touching) 10 minute montage at the beginning, I am now of the opinion that no one else has actually watched the rest of the movie. (Considering a piece of crap like this got nominated for Best Picture, I'll be supremely pissed if the Oscars don't bestow a similar honor on the much more genuinely affecting Toy Story 3.)
Briefly touching on the TV front, on Angel, Fred's death in "A Hole in the World"/"Shells" gets me every time. So does Fred's reappearance in "The Girl in Question" and the revelation about Cordelia at the end of "You're Welcome."
This. First movie that came to mind when I read the question.
The whole end sequence when he being asked to finish it...
Man. I adore this movie.
I saw it with a friend whose father had recently passed away from cancer, and when I realized what the movie was out, I sorta worried. But, he too, really liked it.
I'm a sucker for "weeper" moments.
TWOK-Kirk's eulogy, when the lip 'wobbles', I believe someone said. Can't hear Amazing Grace on bagpipes without tearing up.
ET got to me.
On The Beach-could only watch it once, more depressing than tearful except-in the re-make when they give the little girl the shot. As a parent-heart-wrenching.
Bicentennial Man and A.I.- both endings tear me apart, although there is a feeling of ... triumph to Robin Williams's movie.
Serenity-the crash landing. 'Nuff said.
The Abyss-yeah, Lins dies and I'm a wreck...
Armageddon. Told you I was a sucker...for Liv Tyler, anyway.
When the Wind Blows... as they climb into the bags, as the wife speculates on her son's fate, Jesus, nearly the whole movie.
Sliding Doors gets me too when the ending comes around...

Lots of good ones mentioned here.
I'll throw one out there. The end of Serenity, where Mal gives his speech about what keeps a ship flying. Serenity breaks through those storm clouds, into the sun, then heads into the black...the music soars...
Gets me every time.

Unfortunately my reasons for crying while watching Nemesis had a very different emotional basis from those that led to my crying while watching WoK.
^ This.
Futurama: Jurassic Bark (I can't even bear to watch this one) and Luck of the Fryrish.

Second that, another moment was not a movie, BSG "daybreak" when Rosylin died as Adama is talking to her. There were a lot of moments when more than a few tears shed in that series. My mom passed away of breast cancer in 09 and her name was Laura, so "daybreak" was kinda reminicent of what I was going through at the time. The real strange thing is Rosylin and my Mom looked and acted very much alike. Also when Spock died, but not when I first saw the movie because I was kid, but later on. This is not a scifi movie , but The Passion of Christ when Jesus got the shit beat out of him and he see's Mother Mary, that whole movie was just fucked up. Say what you want about religion, I can't imagine anyone getting beat to a pulp in such a horible way.
"What was that?"
TWOK. As an original Trekkie, I had a serious investment in the character.
TSFS (aka ST3) - When the Enterprise died. I'm one of those who thought the Enterprise was THE star of the series and movies to date. And if you're one who hated the long exposition/approach to the Enterprise in STTMP, you can blame me. That whole sequence was done for me (well, me and those like me! *grin*).
