Seen this more times than I can count, and tears every time.
Yes. Bawling like a baby!
Maes Hughes' big action moment in Full Metal Alchemist - either version.
Alternatively, the scene this music https://youtu.be/EL7e5XrzanA goes to (Ep 5 of Cowboy Bebop) - far more of a tear jerker for me than the final episode.
A lot of seens in Logan with Professor X. His mental decline was a gut punch because I was watching my grandfather go through the same thing at the same time. His portrayal was spot on.
Happy with Stark's daughter on the porch talking about cheeseburgers. Such a small moment, but so genuine feeling.
The last scene of the last episode of Six Feet Under.
"I have been, and always shall be, your friend."
-Spock, Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan
So I don't get to the cinema much, but I got to see The Muppets when it came out (over a decade ago, good grief), and Kermit singing Pictures In My Head totally broke me.
Dunno whether it will work for anyone else, but like many of a certain age, I grew up with the original Muppet Show on TV and it hit too damn hard.
That part of airbud where he tries to push the dog away and abandon him. Sorry in advance.
Into the wild when he discovers that human existence isn't meant to be lived in isolation and then dies a few days later in total isolation.
The end of Saving Private Ryan always gets me as well.
Inside Out
Been a while but probably the opening sequence of Up
Ending of the Sixth Sense.
"Grandma says you asked her a question. She says to tell you the answer is 'every day', what was the question, momma?"
"Did I make you proud?"
The ending to that depressing as fuck Speilberg film A.I. Don't ever watch it unless you want to ruin your day.

A few episodes of Futurama. You can guess which ones.
Tap for spoiler
Jurassic Bark?
This one gets easier when you remember that they retconned it later.
That's one for sure.
Edit: but not the biggest culprit for me
Luck of the fryrish always gets me
Philip J. Fry was named after Phil Hartman.
To carry on his spirit.

Buffy the TV show, when she discovers her mother's dead body.
"Mom? MOM! ... Mommy?" Tears
She looked so lost, it hit me like a gut punch
Spock: “I have been and always shall be your friend” [dies]
Kirk: “No….”

THIS scence from "Platoon" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QEv3zzKyiFQ
The music is adagio for strings which has to be the saddest most emotional score ever
General Waverly walks out in uniform to find his old unit waiting for him. (“White Christmas”)
Cinema Paradiso. Wonderful Italian film about a boy’s relationship with an elder in the town as he mentally escapes war torn Sicily. Just wholesome and hits hard. It’s a beautiful story and the soundtrack by Ennio Morricone, ohhhh so good.

Les Mis

I found the entire concept, but especially the "happy ending" of Paulie to be tragic and extremely depressing to me.
My mother loved Beaches and Steel Magnolias but they always ruined my day. Then my mother died of cancer and they crossed into the unwatchable list.
Toy Story 4. The scene where Woody says goodbye to the rest of the toys and goes off on his new adventure with Bo Peep. Gets me every time.
The original Toy Story was the first movie I remember seeing in a theatre so maybe there's some nostalgia contributing to that.
I cry quite easily, so a small sample of films that have made my eyes misty are:
The Remarkable Life of Ibelin
Bridge to Terabithia
A Monster Calls
+1 for bridge to terabithia. That movie still chokes me up.
I was older and had never read the book. I was not prepared for that turn.

Another one is the movie 'The Fountain' which is played excellently by Hugh Jackman.
My Life with Michael Keaton and Nicole what’s her name
This is the top of the list. Nothing else comes close when you need a really good and sincere cry.
