That's Pixar for ya, they know how to get ya in the heart. I admit during the end, and the incinerator scene.
Now, a few of mine deal with movies where a dog dies, it is very painful after my experiences:
Turner and Hooch, I am Legend,
Another one about a boy and his dog: Snoopy Come Home
Green Mile
Iron Giant- "Superman"
The opening to Star Trek 2009(just beautiful)
Braveheart
Gladiator
Star Trek 2.
Transformers ROTF: Optimus getting killed brings me back to the old Cartoon Movie.
I'll probably get laughs at this one: Spongebob the Movie. Sponge and Pat drying up

Yeah, I've got to go with the Elephant Man. The scene where Merrick recites the 29th Psalm... the scene where Merrick receives his first kiss... the scene where Merrick goes to sleep for the last time... that movie is one big sob-fest, but not in a cheap, cloying, overly-sentimental way.

And then there's Barry Lyndon, which has probably the saddest death scene in cinema history. Kubrick doesn't play the sentiment card very often, but when he does it's hard to hold back the tears.

im surprised no one said
i am legend (when the dog dies) OMG.......
the return of the king ""I will not say do not weep, for not all tears are an evil."
and of course when everyone drops to their knees and the camera closes in on frodos face
city of angels, when meg ryan dies and the peter gabriel song plays "i grieve"
what dreams may come, when cuba tells robin his wife killed herself "Everybody's hell is different. It's not all fire and pain. The real hell is your life gone wrong"

I get choked up a few times during 'The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe'. We lost our boy cat to FIP when he was 1 year old, a few months before the movie was released.
When Aslan died onscreen it brought back some hard memories; but even more so, when he is resurrected, & he steps up to the horizon & shakes his mane, the waterworks were/are on.
On a related note, it seems to happen in movies a lot more often as I get older. Weird. :unsure

A lot of the ones mentioned here all ready. I would add "Without a Trace" (the movie, not the TV show)

The part that gets me in this film is when he pushes the button, and it's not his life that flashes before his eyes, it's her growing up.
Most of the Pixar movies at some point or another. Up can do it in the first few minutes without any dialog (that takes skill). WALL-E, Toy Story, etc..
Forrest Gump hits pretty close to home for me, especially with Jenny. Always lose it during those scenes.
Saving Private Ryan, as mentioned. The whole movie gets summed up in that one scene, brilliant.
Star Trek II. Not so much the death scene as the funeral afterwards. Funeral scenes in general usually get to me.
Star Trek (the new one). I even told my friends about it (I'd seen it before they had, but I went with them to see it again). I said "watch out for the opening, it'll make you cry before the opening credits". To which they responded "A Star Trek movie that actually makes you feel? Wow..." And yes.. yes it does.
