Whatever you do, don't watch "The Wrestler" - Mickey Rourke has become one scary looking dude.

Have to agree with you on that, the years have not been kind to him...and speaking of Mikey Rourke,the end of Johnny Handsome was sort of sad too.

I waited for you Fry.

Also the episode where he gets mad at his brother who had his 5 leaf clover is another example of Futurama sliding some real emotional gut wrenching into the comedy.

One of the reasons I really love the show, and rate above Simpsons (although to be fair the maggie episode with the pics on the wall in Homers work gets me as well) but aye, I have to almost leave the room at the end of 'The Luck of the Fryrish' when Don't You (forget about me) kicks in. Gets me everytime.

As to movies.

If I'm honest probably too many to count these days, I've got really sentimental as I've aged, but some of these are ones that get me nearly every time...

Saving Private Ryan - 'Have I lead a good life' bit
Shawshank Redemption - Morgan Freeman's narrration at the end as he travels to Mexico.
Big Fish - when he lets his father go, and gets into the stories himself.
Band of Brothers - also for a fair few of the vet speaking moments, but the one that really gets me is Winters quoting from a letter from Mike Ranney in the last episode. (Can't wait for 'The Pacific')
Grave of the Fireflies is a nightmare to watch, especially the end.
Spiderwick Chronicles - When the daughter started walking with her father as a old woman, then turned back into a small child.
Watership Down - Several places, its a hard film to watch even now, my wife has banned the boys from watching it until they are at least eight.. hehe.

There are loads of others, but I can't pull them out of my head, although I rarely try to hide it now just let the tears flow, well, more so than when I was a young man anyways.

Moon when Sam(1, 2?) contacts earth and finds his(not his?) wife died.

Any movie that includes a baby. That dies. And you see the sweet little baby die. Laughing, thinking everything will be OK. And then..
I'm crying as im writing.

OMG! How could I forget Watership Down! I cried SO much! (And was pretty freaked out when the survivor dude talked about how the rabbit warren was destroyed)

While I didn't cry I think I would be remiss if I didn't mention Terms of Endearment.

I haven't really cried over a movie since I was a kid.

But I gotta admit, last episode of Cowboy Bebop made me really really sad, but also gave me that feeling of fulfillment. The story was wrapped up. Good stuff.

Bang.

I forgot TriGun, when Wolfwood dies...

Patriot was another one. (when they find the burnt down church)
