I dare anyone to watch Life is Beautiful and not come to the end balling their head off.
On that same note, The Pianist always gets me, especially after having read Polanski's autobiography. A lot of the atmosphere of that film is from personal experience.
The documentary Dear Zachary is utterly heartbreaking. There's a moment in the film where my blood froze.
David Lynch, mostly known for his out there surreal work (and Dune) did a couple of a very touching films: the black and white The Elephant Man with John Hurt and Anthony Hopkins, and the Disney produced The Straight Story with Richard Farnsworth, Sissy Spacek and Harry Dean Stanton. Both are phenomenal. Both probably made my eyes wet.
Special mention to my mom's favorites which include Mr. Holland's Opus, and Dead Poet Society.

My favorite movie from the 80s and one of my favorite movies of all time is Conan the Barbarian (1982). I love classic sword and sorcery movies in general, musclebound barbarians dueling with grim necromancers in decrepit tombs, but what makes Conan the Barbarian different is the utter lack of dialogue throughout the movie. Conan says a grand total of 4 words to his love interest throughout the entire movie; all within the first minute of meeting her ("You're no guard!" "No"), but the music beautifully composed by the late Basil Poledouris articulates the grief and vengeance over love lost by using musical themes used throughout the movie.
I'd post the scene that happens right after this, but I don't want to break forum rules.

Very excellent submissions. But the correct answer is "Grave of the Fireflies."
Although "Brian's Song" is also an acceptable response.Learn to do right; seek justice. Defend the oppressed. Take up the cause of the fatherless; plead the case of the widow.--Isaiah 1:17
I don't think that all forms o[f] slavery are inherently immoral.--seer

And then they messed it all up by giving it a couple lousy sequels (one official, one not), and a terrible reboot. I know they've been talking about a Conan the King. I pray they get Milius' creative input into it somehow.

Poledouris! Brilliant man!
But the best of his music, in the past few decades, anyway, is Quigley Down Under. And yes, I cry at the end.
