Man that was a great book adaptation. I don't get why Book of Eli got so much praise for the way it portrayed a post apocolyptic world and The Road did not.

I'm a really sentimental/sappy person though, so I could list LOADS of examples from TV and film that made me verklempt.
The Buffy The Vampire Slayer episode "The Body" is one of the most gut-wrenching hours of television I've ever seen. The monologue by the character Anya is one of the most emotionally resonant in the entire series. In that same vein, from the series Angel, the ending of the episode "You're Welcome" when it's revealed that Cordelia has been dead the whole time, and the episode that dealt with the death of Fred and her transformation into Illyria. Also, the series finale, when Wesley asks Illyria to "lie to him" as he lay dying and she "becomes" Fred for him. Many Kleenex were used that day.
I remember the final episode of The Mary Tyler Moore Show made me cry, and I had just turned 8 years old when it aired. It still gets to me. Same goes for several episodes of M*A*S*H and All In The Family. The episodes of Archie Bunker's Place that deal with the death of Edith Bunker were particularly poignant.
Lots of movies have made me cry. My favorite movie of all time is 2001: A Space Odyssey, and the scene where Dave Bowman is slowly dismantling HAL's computer core always makes me cry. The way HAL pleads for his life, it makes my teary-eyed just thinking about it. In The Lord Of The Rings: The Two Towers, I pretty much cried from start to finish, every time Gollum was on the screen. Something about that character really pushed my empathy buttons, he was so tragic. Likewise, Sam's unflinching devotion to Frodo was very emotional for me. The Color Purple is another movie that made me cry a lot during the movie, but most especially at the end when Celie is reunited with her sister and her children.
Some tearjerker moments have been rather unexpected. I remember watching the movie Mars Attacks! which was a pretty silly movie, but there was one scene that unexpectedly got to me. There was an old woman, played by Sylvia Sydney, who kept thinking her grandson was actually her long-dead husband. The scene was played for laughs, but the two actors played the scene well, and it just got to me. I also have those moments while watching Modern Family, the TV show. Whenever the goofy dad gets emotional about his kids growing up too fast, well, so do I.
Video games haven't made me cry until Mass Effect 2. And the scene that did it was the one between Shepard and Dr. Chakwas, as they're drinking the Serrice Ice Brandy. Dr. Chakwas is just so melancholy, and it was unexpected in the ME game, given how comparatively "light" the emotion tends to be in those games. Really unexpected.

I almost chose that scene, but I took this thread's premise as touching not necessarily meaning depressing. That scene was gut wrenching. I wanted to go with something a little more uplifting. Wesley had some of the saddest scenes in that series starting from the end of "Billy" in season 3. I still think he had the best arc of any character on television.

I cry every time I see "The Little Princess"(yes! 
), at the part at the end when Sara is almost taken away by the police only to have him suddenly (with the help of his mysterious indian friend) remembers who he was and who she was, resulting in a dramatic reunion(at least to me).
"Papa!!!" *sob*

I have no idea. It was an excellent movie. I guess because it wasn't filled with mindless action.

Yeah, I know plenty of guys that were misty eyed during that scene. Including myself.

Great choices. These were such sad scenes. Very well done and touching.

Joss Whedon's work is always the best written stuff for the touchy feely cry like a baby. Don't matter how many times I watch it Fred's death ALWAYS gets to me as well as Wesley's.
Don't forget Tara's death when she gets shot and her last words to Willow "your shirt" She saw the blood and was more concerned for her well being then her own.
Angel after saving Kate after he has his epiphany in season 2. "if nothing we do matters than all that matters is what we do"
oooh someone brought up Firefly.
The end of Jaynestown (my personal favorite episode) where Jayne is trying to figure out why that kid jumped in and saved his life.
Or how about the end of Ariel where Mal has Jayne in the airlock about to release him "don't tell the others how I died... don't tell them I betrayed you"
I can go on with this forever.

In total agreement. From the bumbling watcher who gets no respect from Buffy or Giles to the touch as nails warlock who can be just as brutal as the demon's they fight. Had you told me back in Season 3 of buffy that this idiot was going to be anymore than comic relief I would've laughed in your face. Have yet to see character progression that great since.

Oh god, I was a mess during Toy Story 3.
I add the Father's Day episode from Doctor Who. Father/daughter relationships always get me emotional.

The ending of Blackadder Goes Forth.
That had quite possibly the saddest and most poignant ending of any comedy series. Most of the humor of the series involved Captain Blackadder (Rowan Atkinson) scheming to get out of the 'next big push' during the First World War, but when that offensive finally comes he ends up going over the top along with most of the other main characters from the series, to certain death. I admit to shedding a tear the first time I watched it when the screen faded out to the poppies, a symbol of rememberance for the British war dead.
Fast forward to about 1:38

Probably the part in the Lion King where Simba is trying to rouse Mufasa after he was trampled to death in the stampede.

The first time I remember crying was when I was a little boy, at the end of Star Wars VI, when Luke burns Vader's armor.
The second one, only a few years back, was Boromir's heroic-repentant death in The Fellowship of the Ring.

I was remiss in my appreciation of Whedon in my earlier post. He truly has a knack for the unexpected turn of events and the heart-wrenching scene.Rockworm503 wrote...

So to this Whedon love, I'd like to add the last scene for Boyd Langton in Dollhouse. His whole story arc, the big reveal, and then the exchange between him and Echo...just poignant.
