When I need to bring on the waterworks, I just think through this exchange:

"Give me your twenty strongest, and I will take them to Volturnum," the dragon said. But Yoritomo's troops were wounded, and his clan would die if they should go. Knowing his duty, he turned alone to the dragon. "I am my twenty strongest."

Every. Single. Time. I'm not even sure why.

Yes, even now. Can't help it for some reason. Of course other things get me as well. The one scene from 'Chicago' with the handkerchiefs and a few others... but only under the right circumstances. Bach and Skinny Puppy can do it too.
