My wit's end
Or if not cry, then well up. I'm talking music, movies, TV shows, etc.

Iris by the Goo Goo Dolls always gets me after I've had a few.

 
The savage eye infection I currently have and the fact I have to wake up every hour for the next 48 hours to put eye drops in. True story.
 
Reading about real life tragedies or injustices can some times make me well up.

Very rarely a song. But it's usually connected to being troubled anyway.

Never movies.
 
Any song I'm listening, while cutting onions.
 
I never cry at anything... come close sometimes, but there's no actual tears. The most recent case was the end of the Walking Dead Season 1 game... feck me.
 
This is the Entertainment Forum. I was thinking more along the lines of songs or scenes.

Iris reminds me of an ex whom I think I might still be in love with after almost a year. Hence why it makes me cry.

Try and come up with something more artistic, guys!
 
Titanic. I remember taking great pride back in school when i was the last out of me and my mates (boys and girls) to cry. Lasted til she dropped that basterd necklace in the sea.

Other then that, thinking about the day my daughter was born for the sheer trauma of it haha. Or over emotionally sad stuff in films for some reason though i always manage to stop myself.
 
I can't remember the last time I cried, probably as a teenager? I do get emotional at a good montage though, like, close enough to tears, and it's not like it has to be a sad montage or anything, just epic, and the music is good, like this one, this is so good, oh my god, my emotions.

 
The last time I cried was when I watched Grave of the Fireflies. Also during the ending of The Walking Dead video game. And during Hachi movie.

And a few times.

Other than that, maybe when I was a teenager.
 
When Forrest meets his son and asks if he's smart or if he's like him. Also when he's at Jenny's grave.

The ending of click (yes I cried to an Adam Sandler movie). My father passed away a couple of years ago and I can't watch that ending without crying.
 
I remember crying as a kid when Ash let go of Butterfree in Pokemon...
 


When my nana was passing away we got told she won't last the night so I went and sat with her and the next night I went to watch Mumford and sons play a tiny gig. They played timshel with no mics or sound system they just sang, I listened to the lyrics and now everytime I listen to it I feel sad. It makes me Smile but sad, it's hard to explain the song was so powerful at a tough time.
 
The line in Ice Cube's song Dead Homiez.

"They say 'be strong' and ya tryin'//But how strong can ya be when ya see ya Pops cryin'? "

Also, No Woman No Cry by Bob Marley, ironically.
 
This here damn near did the trick, recently. Spoiler alert if anybody's keen to not see a significant scene of the anime Samurai Shamploo:



Then there's this tune, which always puts my wrist at risk of being slit (not really, obviously, lolz):

 
Nothing. Weirdly I think the closest I came was when I welled up slightly watching that video of the deaf African boy, when his face lit up when he realised he was being taught how to sign.

Haven't cried since my nan died in 2003 and I expect the next time I cry will be when one of my parents die.
 
Also I don't want to ruin OP's song, but Iris is shite and a very cliche one to have an 'emotional' connection to.
 
I think I've cried more (as an adult) from cartoons than from live action films. Up, Toy Story 3 etc.

I honestly can't remember the last time I cried when real people were involved. I am aware of the film Marley and Me though, I'm certain that would get me blubbering.
