I must be a grade A Bitch, because every scene or ending mentioned here made me at least tear up. Aside from the anime, probably would get to me as well if I actually watched them.

Let me elaborate on my above post of the Japanese film, Departures. (It won an Oscar for the best foreign movie).
It's a film about a guy that's kind of a fuck up. In Japanese culture, when you are of age, you should be working. This guy couldn't hold onto a job to save his life.
He gets a job that supposedly pays well, but is depressing. He is kind of a funeral director's assistant. However, funerals are different than they are in America. The dead usually stay at their home and people go to their home to pay respects. There is a huge cleaning ritual to prepare the body, then the makeup and such. They are perfectionists. Also, pretty much everyone in Japan is cremated, due to a lack of room. They still have grave sites, but typically it's a grave site for an entire family and not a single person.
So yeah, it's a movie about death, but it runs the gamut of emotions. There's happy tears, sad tears, those fucked up "what the hell?" tears. It's an incredibly beautiful movie, and I suggest everyone watch it. You'll need a multi-region DVD or BluRay player if you're a US person though. They never released it in any form over here.

That's because
'"Jurassic Bark", episode 7 of season 4 of the animated television series Futurama has an extended homage to Hachiko, with Fry discovering the fossilized remains of his dog, Seymour. After Fry was frozen, Seymour is shown to have waited for Fry to return for 12 years outside Panucci's Pizza, where Fry worked, never disobeying his master's last command to wait for him.'

Another anime one, the end of the Aincrad arc of Sword Art Online. Not full on weeping type moment, but it was well done as we see the Kirito and Asuna in the SAO "afterlife", then disappearing while embraced.

That one and when Rohan shows up. For some reason cavalry charges make me weep tears of joy.

I never have cried during a movie but for some reason teared up when they executed John kaffe at the end of green mile.

Last few episodes of Wolf's Rain, especially when Toboe dies. Whole series was depressing as shit.
Where the Red Fern Grows. Ran into my mom's room bawling incoherently for an hour after reading that shit when I was a kid. For kicks my mom got me the movie for Christmas. I tried not to be a bitch while watching it. It didn't work.
Grave of the Fireflies. Nuff said.
Balad of Narayama. Story of harsh life in a rural village in 19th century Japan. Very very good movie.
I am Legend. Fuckin' dogs, man...
I keep hearing about the Plague Dogs and I want to watch it, but from everything I've heard it's going to have me in tears.
Oh, and Littlefoot's mom dying in Land Before Time.
