I think the last movie that I've watched that made me cry was Chicken Run, about 10 or so years ago. That part where the chicken is beheaded. Man, that was an emotional scene when I was young xD.
'Fraid not, you just have to live with the shame! You can always write something witty in them though, or quote someone and pretend that it was intentional.

I watched Toy Story 3 a few weeks ago with my girlfriend, after warning her that I had balled when I saw it in the theatres. Sure enough, my constitution didn't hold up much better during this viewing.
See, the first Toy Story came out when I was one year old, so these characters have quite literally been with me my whole life. The third one sees Andy going off to college, and I only just recently applied to university. I can't even describe how much this movie affected me.
Not to mention that the "Disney Effect" (a term I'm trying to get used, to describe a "kid" movie's very adult themes or plot points that as a kid, you don't even notice, or really need to, but later in life, give you a whole new appreciation for the movie) in these movies is all about existential mortality. The third one especially:
When the characters I've grown up with, and loved all my life, are fighting for their lives in a landfill, only to finally submit to their fates and slowly drop into an incinerator as they all hold hands in horror... Well, let's just say that I'm beginning to get misty just replaying that scene in my head.
So, yeah. That scene and the ending always get the tears flowing. It really is, in my opinion, the perfect way to end one of the best animated movie series I think there has ever been.
Buried had me teared up the last time I watched it, but I think I actually cried the first time I did. I never would have imagined that I would have gotten so attached to what is essentially 90 minutes of a man in a coffin.
Mary and Max, I think last time I posted on one of these threads, only one person seemed to know the movie, which I think is a shame, as it is a wonderful, but sad movie. I highly recommend it.
I'll comment here just to let you know I've seen it, and I adore it.
OT: Oh well while i'm here i'll say I can't remember the last time. I'm just not that sort of person, I'm sort of like Mersault from the Outsider if anyone gets the reference.
Actually Arthur Christmas got me pretty damn close and the ending to the new Sherlock Holmes film got me a bit depressed and then it kicked that emotion out of the way with another scene. Then before that it was either Marley and Me or that one film where the dog waits for his deceased owner. If that was a spoiler, well then damn it. I didn't see the opening to that film nor can I remember its name.
Moon. Many scenes are worth shedding tears, it's that sad. The film is about a man who faced isolation on the moon for three years and is due to return to Earth.
Last film that made me cry... well, The Elephant Man did... nearly... that film is heart wrenching.
(Even if Lynch twisted some facts and well... oh it's a film it doesn't matter they were hardly aiming complete accuracy anyway. I would doubt it, knowing Lynch's work.)
