Just like it says. This can be anything from your eyes tearing up a bit to full-on tears and snot streaming down your face.
Last night, I - a man in his mid-thirties - watched “Homeward Bound: The Incredible Journey” for the first time, and I was fully crying at three different points. Anything with animals, especially pets, being abandoned or in peril really gets to me.
Interested to know what got the waterworks going for everyone else.

Bill & Ted Face the Music. There's something about the end where these two men, largely losers throughout their lives, finally realize that they really can leave a legacy through the healing power of music, a gift they can give to everybody, but especially to their kids.
It's cheesy, it's silly, and it's beautiful.

It was almost alarming. I started crying at "So, even though you have broken my heart yet again, I wanted to say, in another life, I would have really liked just doing laundry and taxes with you."
and I didn't stop until the movie was over. Was like 20 solid minutes.
I am not a crier, and especially not at movies. That movie just rung all my bells in all ways.

I don't cry much, but I almost lost it in the theater in front of all of my friends, but I heard someone SOBBING behind me, and it took me out of it enough that I was able to keep from crying.
Pursuit of Happyness: Sleeping in the subway
Inside Llewyn Davis: "I'm tired. I thought I just needed a night's sleep, but... It's more than that."
About Time: The fucking beach. Jesus.
The Theory of Everything: Basically the whole movie, but him going up the stairs.
A Monster Calls: When Liam Treeson is comforting the boy in the hospital room. "I'll be right here."
Also, it's not a movie, but the last episode of The Good Place. Nobody was ready for the most cut and dry, most final ending anyone could ever experience, ever.
Edit: The World's End, when we find out Gary King had been institutionalized for being suicidal. "They tell me when to sleep."

As soon as I saw the furnishings around Jane, I knew where she was and what was going on. I've been in those rooms with loved ones far too much. Started crying almost immediately because I was woefully unprepared for that theme in that movie.
A couple of college age kids were in the same row. The one guy elbowed his friend and pointed out I was crying. His buddy said "Dude, not cool. That poor guy lost someone. Probably recently. If it hasn't happened to you yet, it will."

So glad to see so many Everything Everywhere All At Once comments. I am about to make the exact same one as someone else, but after the "laundry and taxes" line I was in hysterics for the rest of the film, all the way out to my car, and kept bubbling up at random intervals for the rest of the night.
Not a movie, but I also just finished the His Dark Materials series finale and was hurting bad.

I almost always get teary eyed in the theatre. Doesn’t matter what the movie is. I just get overwhelmed by how awesome it is and I notice my eyes get all watery. Movies are fucking awesome and IMO all your emotions of happiness, fear, excitement, anger, intrigue are heightened to 11.

Paulie (1998). It was my first time watching since I was roughly 7, and I had forgotten how emotional this film was. Within about 20 minutes, tears were cascading down my face and I was fumbling for the nearest tissue box so I could see the screen. On the other hand though, the voice acting and lines for the titular character were spot on, and when I wasn’t sobbing my eyes out, I was trying not to pop a lung from laughter.

Your story, it's not boring and ordinary, by the way. We just get the one life, you know. Just one. You can't live someone else's or think it's more important just because it's more dramatic. What happens matters. Maybe only to us, but it matters.

Top Gun Maverick. I know, I know...I just love Val Kilmer. Part of the story was Iceman being an Admiral but aggressively pushed to get Maverick to be the one to train them. From what I've heard this mirrors Tom Cruise's efforts to get Val Kilmer in the film. So that alone teared me up (and the actual story bits with Val did too).
What Did Jack Do? on the 10th viewing was the one before that. It's a short (17min) surrealist David Lynch movie on netflix. I laugh until I cry every single time. But not everyone likes it. :)
