None.

Never have, never will.

Granted, some music, or films, may be moving to various degrees, but waterworks? Really? Are we not grown men (most of us anyway)?

On second thought, I may have come close to crying when the deal for my copy of Godzilla vs. Mothra TCTY-5348 threatened to go south.

Alfred Newman’s The Diary of Anne Frank has often moved me to tears, especially during the penultimate track of the original soundtrack album, “The Dearness of You, Peter.”

Hi Advise! E.T. for me, at the end when E.T. leaves. Not anymore, but when I first saw the film.

From Superman starting at 5:06 in the track The Fortress of Solitude until right before the fanfare at the end of that track starts. That really gets me almost every time. Plus a lot of places in Thomas Newman Scores.

Hello Henry. That one comes awfully close for the waterworks. smile Hadn't listened to it for along time when I attended a John Williams concert at the Hollywood Bowl in 2013. Pretty stirring stuff.

Never Cry Wolf

I believe it is No Cry = No Wolf.

Agreed. Very powerful. I only have a handful of Thomas Newman score, but I must admit he has a knack to pull on the heartstrings in a surprisingly subtle way, avoiding all of the usual bag of treacly cliches.

I just remembered another one, when I first saw STAR TREK: FIRST CONTACT, the scene when Zefram makes first contact with the Vulcans and hearing Goldsmith's great FIRST CONTACT theme! I ALMOST cried! I'm an emotional guy!smile

Um... None? Movies make me cry, but not the score on its own.

E.T. killed me in 1982, when we're building up to the bicycle chase and we cut from that close-up on Dee Wallace's face - bam! to the kids peddling like mad and the introduction of a brand new fanfare. I was a mess. My friends were worried for me I was bawling so hard. Lately I've been choking up listening to A.I. Williams' music for that film cuts me deep. In his own words "it's about love and death". I cry.

Mr. Jack and villagardens named them for sure.

Just thinking about "Wanna have a Catch?" in FIELD OF DREAMS and the closing moments of TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD with Scout's narration along with the music that accompanies those sequences gets to me.

Bernstein and Horner truly "nailed" it with those cues.

Goldsmith also evoked tears in RAGGEDY MAN for me in the scene where Teddy is leaving and says goodbye to the two boys, "Henry and Harry, Henry and Harry, Henry and Harry..."

And of course John Williams' E.T. Finale!

Four Movie Music Masters who truly had/have the gift of touching the human heart so beautifully.

“Opium Den” from THE RAZOR’S EDGE by Jack Nietzsche. Those strings… make me tear up thinking about those of us who have been caught in chemical addiction.

Are we taking film score while watching the film? If so I could name a lot of examples when the water works went off.

Fantasia- Ave Maria sequence.
Close Encounters of a Third Kind- When Barry and Jillian reunite.
Superman the Movie- When Jor El says goodbye to his son.
E.T. - Goodbyes.
The Secret of NIMH- The House Raising.
All Dogs Go to Heaven- When Charlie says goodbye to Ann Marie.
