On the contrary, that ending makes me hate the brother. >:(
He could have saved her but couldn't swallow his pride.
Les Misérables, the musical. Sure the movies performances aren't the best, but the ending gets me in the worst way.
Terminator 2
This will never cease to make me cry.
What I came to post. The fact they hold back the theme the whole movie, then let it go full blast for this moment... Perfection.
Freeeeeedoooooom in Braveheart, the moment he screams that line i lose it, everytime.

Fellowship of the Ring. Boromir's death and Frodo standing by the river...

The Land Before Time
Reign Over Me
Friday the 13th pt 4 the final chapter. When I was younger because Jason died, as an adult because it was Corey Fucking Feldman that killed him.

I guess you could say it's cheating because it's so powerful because of real life events and not something that happened in the movie, but it's an absolutely amazing farewell to Paul Walker.
*fingerguns* this one
Hachi was one of the movies where I cried a bit before the movie ended because I just knew what was going to happen
Unforgiven
"...And there was nothing on the marker to explain to Mrs. Feathers why her only daughter had married a known thief and murderer, a man of notoriously vicious and intemperate disposition."
The text, music, and sunset vista all combine together, and I just start crying. The movie talks about Will and his wife constantly, but it isn't until the end (after "he" returns) you realize how special what they had was.

I cry every time I watch the ending of TLJ. Everything comes together so beautifully and emotionally for me. Especially during the Luke and Leia scene.
(I said "for me." Please don't turn this into a TLJ thread. Please).
Funny enough, that's sort of the point. The author of the semi-autobiographical book its based on is the older brother (he didn't actually die), and he ended up writing his character to die in the end because of the guilt he felt for letting her die (to represent it, in a way).

Gallipoli, 1981 film directed by one Peter Weir
Admittedly it doesn't work so well in isolation.
It's broadly speaking historically accurate, albeit embellished in the details. Takes place during the Battle of The Nek at Gallipoli during the WWI Dardanelles campaign.
There was to be an attack by Australian Light Horse (serving as infantry) over a narrow ridge. The plan was for them to be proceeded by an artillery bombardment to suppress the Ottoman defenders. However the bombardment ended several minutes earlier than intended so the defenders had time to prepare. The Australians stuck to the plan and sent successive waves of men into the attack, with virtually all of them gunned down before getting anywhere near the enemy trenches. The soldiers of the second and third wave had to charge after having seeing the first wave cut down.
The very last shot is based on an eyewitness account.

This and the graveyard scene
Only movie (besides coco) that made me cry in recent memory
I am actually angry about how the brother acted like a dumbass throughout the film. Though I suppose he's still a kid but still....
Bicycle Thieves
It's pretty tame compared to a lot of the other films listed here so far, but damn if it didn't leave me devastated after seeing it the first time.

Dancer in the Dark
Even if you don't watch the entire movie, just the ending segment alone is heartbreaking to watch.

The guy it's based on, he liked the ending of the movie where he was dead because he wishes he did die with his sister.
This one will always get me.
I teared up in the theaters watching Logan when Laura turned the cross sideways to make a X.
I found the end of Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King profoundly sad, even though I had already read the book by that point. The acting and direction just sold it so well.
