While there are other examples too numerous to list in their entirety, for me the absolute ultimate example of a 'lump in the throat' film music moment is the latter half of "The Final Game" from Goldsmith's Rudy score (commencing at about 3:20 into the cue). By the time it's over, I'm usually sobbing, which is an interesting reaction given that it's such a joyous piece of music.

"Preparations For Battle" and "Charging Fort Wagner" from Glory always get me, as does Field Of Dreams. Something about 1989, I guess.

well, for me, it's the very short, little moments, or sometimes one passage.
like in the track The Reunion from Papillon, where about halfway there's a gorgeously soaring, but subtle variation on the theme (when McQueen goes after Hoffman).
in Poltergeist, there's that standout track Rebirth, with somewhere in the last part of it, a beautiful trumpet.
more trumpet in The Mummy's last album cue.
and in the instrumental version of It's A Long Road from First Blood.
The Final Conflict has a staggering moment in The Hunt with the main theme at full blast after a few softer 'attempts'. and then again in The Blooding Reel halfway in.
And for me, spinechillingly beautiful, the end title music from Alien.

That piano bit in the "Reunion" track from Papillion is pure gold.

Track 11 of Return to Oz, made me cry when I heard it FINALLY on CD.
Twister track one when the score FINALLY came out, it was like a really good orgasm, man it was so coo.

A few that do it for me:
"I Could Have Done More" from Schindler's List - to this day still makes me cry like a little girl.
"The Last Giant Piece" from The Iron Giant - I just have to play this as loud as possible whenever I hear it, you know, rattle the walls and whatnot.
"The Hand of Fate Pt I" from Signs - see above comment regarding wall rattling.
Have to agree with the final cue/scene from Powder, that and the scene where the mother dies...GOD that's so beautifully tragic.
