For me, it's "Terms of Endearment", when Debra Winger is dying. Makes me bawl like a baby every time!
The ending of The Notebook. It's so bad that if I watch it I'll start crying about 30 minutes before the ending, because I know what's coming. 
The Evil Dead where Ash had to cut off his own hand. Very sad indeed

I gotta agree - that's one hell of a tearjerker.

LEVARTOV: We've written a letter trying to explain things. In case you're captured. Every worker has signed it.
SCHINDLER: Thank you.
Stern steps forward and places a ring in Schindler's hand. It's a gold band, like a wedding ring. Schindler notices an inscription inside it.
STERN: It's Hebrew. It says, 'Whoever saves one life saves the world.'
Schindler slips the ring onto a finger, admires it a moment, nods his thanks, then seems to withdraw.
SCHINDLER: (to himself) I could've got more out...

SCHINDLER: This car. Goeth would've bought this car. Why did I keep the car? Ten people, right there, ten more I… could've got. (looking around) This pin --
He rips the swastika, from his lapel and holds it out to Stern.
SCHINDLER: Two people. This is gold. Two more people. He would've given me two for it. At least one. He would've given me one. One more. One more person. A person, Stern. For this. One more. I could've gotten one more person I didn't.
He completely breaks down, weeping convulsively.
SCHINDLER: They killed so many people...(Stern, weeping too, embraces him) They killed so many people...
From above, from a watchtower, Stern can be seen down below, trying to comfort Schindler. Eventually, they separate, and Schindler and Emilie climb into the Mercedes. It slowly pulls out through the gates of the camp. And drives away.

My Life- starring Michael Keaton.
He is dying of cancer. His father is shaving him and he says" I love you daddy."
I bawled out of control.

I'm going to have to see The Notebook, going by all the replies.
For me, one of the best tear-jerker scenes was at the end of Braveheart when Wallace is publicly tortured to get a confession out of him, and instead of yielding he cries out "FREEDOM".

Oh yes, that ending. While I didn't cry (I have yet to cry while watching a movie...they just don't force that reaction from me), that ending is pretty intense and jarring.
I suggested my mother watch it, as she was looking for a good film. Now when I make a suggestion I have to rate the film on an intensity scale for her so she knows what she is getting herself into

I've never cried from a movie, but my eyes have gotten slightly watery during;
The execution of John Coffee in the movie The Green Mile.
The ending to Leon, The Professional otherwise known as Leon or just The Professional
That's all I can remember of actually coming close to shedding tears, but I'm somewhat intoxicated right now so maybe I'll remember more later.
Some other notable mentions of emotional moments that didn't cause watery eyes but should be remembered anyway;
The 'Remeber Us' portion of 300.
The ending to Forrest Gump.
When Vasquez dies in Aliens. /salute
Some movie moments that should've invoked tears when instead invoked laughter because I'm a bad person;
The ending to The Mist. I have a tendency to laugh at irony, no matter how sharp and cruel it may be.
I'll probably remember more later, but I'll have to sober up first.
I always found that movie to be funny because the ending was given away by the movie poster. I mean, it's not like you didn't know it was going to end like that about half-an-hour into the movie.

Reservoir Dogs... Such a delicate, sensitive movie...
The ending scene in Braveheart where they're disembowling, torturing and murdering him. When he sees his wife walking through the crowd of onlookers- when he's finally free.
Dang, I almost didn't post here because I though someone would have posted the only 2 movies that have ever made me cry. And this coming from a 33 year old ex-bouncer.
Armagedon- When Bruce Willis' character is saying goodbye to his daughter before setting off the nuke.
The Sixth Sense-When the little boy is finally telling his mom about his ability in the car, and he tells her what her mother told him about the dance recital.
I'm not a cryer, but both of these scenes tore me up.
