I didn't cry for Xander's speech, though I was moved in a non-weepy sort of way.
I always cry during Joy Luck Club and the ending of It's a Wonderful Life. Beyond that it's kinda random.

Wait, Leigh, you're saying Titanic caught you by surprise?

"They are all gonna die!"
That's what got me. That and the locking the lower-class passengers below deck. I just found that bit so amazingly horrifying, with the children and everything. In my defense, Titanic came out in 1998, didn't it? So I was only 13 and uneducated in the art of resisting anything, let alone the crying vibes that movie put out.
Edited to add:

Heh. In a manner of speaking. I thought I'd hate it, because even at thirteen I had enough wisdom to know that teenage heart-throbs (which was all I knew Leo as) make crap films. Plus, you know they're going to sink the damn boat, how sad could it be?

OK, total lack of caring whether Leo or Kate's characters died, but the little kids? And the old couple? That was sad.
Unfortunately, I didn't know how LONG the movie was the first time I saw it, and I hadn't eaten dinner. So I got a sandwich and a big big coke, and snuck them into the theater...and then about an hour in, really had to go to the bathroom. But I kept thinking "Well, surely the boat is about to sink", and I didn't want to miss anything, so I held it. And then the movie went on for like, TWO MORE HOURS, and I was so irritated and frustrated that really, I hadn't watched most of those two hours, becuase I was thinking "Isn't it over yet? I have to go to the bathroom!".

I seriously think I was disturbing everyone else in the theatre with my bawling at those bits. The snot aspect was also unpleasant.
Isn't it over yet? I have to go to the bathroom!
Plus all that lovely sloshing water. Must've been fun.

I was hysterical over the orchestra playing as the ship went down. The moments that I liked in that film were all about the very minor characters.

During my lunch hour, I was in Tim Horton's, like a good Canadian. As I'm leaving, a guy walks in and asks, in an accent that wouldn't be a stranger on Coronation Street, if they serve English coffee. Does anyone know what he means by English coffee?
(Tim Horton's is a Canadian chain that sells cheap, mean, nasty coffee and the One True Doughnut. It's a Canadian institution.)

This is why I make it a firm policy never to take water or any kind of drink into the theatre. No need to encourage those kidneys.
