I'm surprised no one listed the Champ. How unemotional are you people (for lack of a better word)? Doesn't seeing little Ricky Schroeder say dad wake up, dad wake up, dad wake about fifty times in row until he realizes that his father is dead bring tears to your eyes?

I believe the closest I ever got was The Priest I believe its a foreign film, but it is in English.

The scene in The Two Towers where the Gandalf is leading the army down the hill to relieve Helm's Deep always gives me the chills.
 
IT'S a wonderfull life

and pay it forward

At Play in the Fields of the Lord - an amazing little sleeper with John Lithgow, Daryl Hannah and Tom Barringer

And the part when Treebeard led the Ents into battle, saying "the last march of the Ents"(if i remembered his exact words correctly). That gave me the chills too.
 
Since my daughter passed away 3 weeks after birth 2 1/2 years ago, the movies that make me cry tend to be the ones with a scene where the doctor walks in after surgery with his head down...

Autumn in New York - doctor walks down the hall with his head down, sweat around his neck...apparently upset

Pay it Forward - kid gets stabbed...doctor walks down the hall...you get the point

John Q - the basic premise of this film hit us hard...too familiar...every part of it

Those were the big three that left my wife and I sitting on the bed in a pool of tears...

Very sorry to hear about your loss.

I think by sharing this painful moment with us you have touched on a universal truth. The movies that make us cry the most are the ones when we can feel the pain of the characters. As you have pointed out, the moment when it hits the characters would be when they see the doctor coming with his head down. That's when they feel their hope is lost.

They say that time heals all wounds, but we know that the scar remains.

I saw a movie that made me cry again the other day, "A Walk To Remember." Good movie, but very sad.
