In advance of the apparent movie of the Thai boys being rescued with their coach.
For me, it was Dumbledor's death. I have read thousands of books, several of which have made me tear up, but I clearly remember having to put the book down so I could straight up sob at that. (ETA, I was a grown woman at the time, LOL.) I cried at Up and Steel Magnolias and others but that was the one that just did me in.
Books off the top of my head - Marley & Me and A Man Called Ove.
Tons of movies have made me cry, lol. Hell, I cried watching a Queer Eye episode last night. But a guaranteed cry every time? Homeward Bound, The Green Mile, or Steel Magnolias.
So many. Dumbledore's and Siriuss deaths. Most of Deathly Hallows Part 2. I've cried during parts of Outlander, GOT. Whenever I read a story about the soccer team stuck in a cave. I'm a crier ::shrug::
Oh geez I cant seem to make it through a Disney movie from the last few years without crying. Brave, Frozen, Moana, Coco.
Not a movie, but This Is Us. I've shed a lot of tears during that show. I really enjoyed it during the first season, but after a family death, it hit a little too close to home in season 2.
Any many books, including Harry Potter for me too.
But, The Fault In Our Stars - I think I started crying about half way through and didn't stop until after I had finished the book.
omg this book made me bawl.
My Grandmother Asked Me to Tell You She's Sorry is probably the other most recent one that I can think of that made me cry.
I cry a lot at TV shows, movies and books, but because of that in recent years I have started actively avoiding things that I think will make me cry (like Wonder. It looks good. Not going to see it.)
Oh.....the Good Dinosaur....that made me cry. And DS1 too lol.
Books: Harry Potter 7 A Prayer for Owen Meany A Thousand Splendid Suns The Kite Runner All The Light You Cannot See Eleanor & Park Fried Green Tomatoes
Movies: Steel Magnolias Fried Green Tomatoes The Notebook - I fucking hated this movie but still cried my eyes out, LOL
Pretty much every movie I've ever seen! LOL Happy movie? I cry. Sad movie? I cry? Scary movie? I sometimes cry. The ones I've watched recently are Marley & Me, Steel Magnolias, Armageddon, and You've Got Mail.

Books: When Dobby died in Harry Potter. Lost On A Mountain in Maine, when the kid gets found at the end. (I read those two books to my kids and had to stop and collect myself both times).
Movies: Homeward Bound, at the end when the animals come running over the hill. Tarzan (the cartoon), where the mama gorilla finds the baby in the basket and Phil Collins sings in the background. I bawled.
Clearly I have a soft spot for children's stories, and cry happy tears and sad tears.

Lots of things make me cry but I’m remembering being about 11/12 and sobbing my first boogery ugly cry in the theater during My Girl while my cute male classmate sat three seats down from me. It was the first time I realized I was maybe extra emotional.
I had an absent dad so father related stuff gets me bawling. I’m not allowed to watch Undercover Boss anymore because of the crying.
The new Queer Eyes are so beautiful and such a reframing or masculinity that I can almost feel the pain breaking down and cry.

Oh, My Girl. This also gets me every time. A good family friend of ours just passed away from complications after being attacked by a swarm of yellow jackets and I immediately flashed to the scene of Vada over Thomas J's casket.
Book wise: My Sister's Keeper. I bawled reading that book, so much that DH told me to put it down and not read anymore. I've never been able to read any other Jodi Picoult books after that. I'm sure a good chunk of it had more to do with my own relationship with my sister, but it was so bad for me.

The movie Indecent Proposal, when Demi and Woody's characters are both out on the pier sitting on back to back benches and she says "Have I ever told you I love you?"....etc. The music swells....and I cry uncontrollably.
Also, Stepmom. When Susan Sarandon is exchanging Christmas gifts with her daughter and they know it's their last Christmas together. "you have made my life so wonderful". Wahhhhhhhhh. Can't even think of it without crying, esp now that I have a daughter.
Not movie or book but my non crier husband was a mess during Hamilton. We had listened to the soundtrack a million times, knew the story, etc etc but something about putting it all together, wow. I was sobbing but I cry at a lot but I was shocked at his reaction!
cabbagecabbage, same except with grandfather figures. There was this movie with Mickey Rooney - It Came Upon a Midnight Clear - where the grandfather dies but is sent back to earth for a few more days and he's able to spend Christmas with his grandson. Tore my heart out even before my beloved grandfather died.
