Nothing particular this year. Lot of touching, sad moments but nothing that actually make me want to cry. Only thing that comes close is Robert Frobisher's suicide letter/words to his lover in Cloud Atlas. But again, more than the scene these were the words themselves, right from the book and felt the same when reading it as well. So it was more of a carry over from there.
I second the Beasts mentions here.
SPOILERS.
Dear Christ, I wept for like five minutes during the last, huge heavenly barricade scene in Les Mis, and way into the credits.
The only other one was Wreck-It Ralph, which seemed to have me in tears every five minutes in the second half of the film - Vanellope's car, the last speech about the kids loving her...

Beasts: The entire sequence with her mother, specifically the dance and the "I can count all the time's I've been lifted" flashback. Very, very underrated.
Beasts: The end, "no crying" scene, by far the most moving scene this year by FAR.
Francine: The scene at the animal hospital where the dog's being euthanized.
In a million years, when kids go to school, they gonna know;
once there was a Hushpuppy, and she was nominated for an Oscar.
I must have that tone! Please!
FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION - INOCA 2012
Is this still 2009? I think Star Trek is the best opening scene ever.

Oh god yes. Also, during Sonmi's speech in Cloud Atlas.
I know I've got a big ego, I really don't know why it's such a big deal, though.
Amour, when she tells her husband he was too serious when he was young
And the accordion entracte in Holy Motors. I wanted to stand up, clap and cry of how fckin exciting and refreshing that moment was, and how I immediately thought cinema is alive.
This is just infuriated me, which, I guess, counts as moving.The Pi reveal.
AMOUR - When he's watching Anne play the piano, and then he turns off the music. I had seen it before in the trailer and felt no strong reaction, but in context it just destroyed me and I started sobbing.
LIFE OF PI - Richard Parker walking away into the jungle. Gets me every time.
RUST AND BONE - When she strides toward the fighters on her artificial legs, and you don't know if she's trying to stop him, or inspire him. What a scene!
THE MASTER - Freddie curled up beside his sandcastle woman at the end.Also, the whole "Slow Boat to China" confrontation gave me goosebumps.
HOLY MOTORS - With his daughter in the car, berating her for not being slutty enough. So honest it hurt.
I can get behind this as the best acted scene of 2012, that's for damn sure.
The scene in Amour that finally broke me was the slap scene. She's refusing to drink the water or something and he says something like "If you don't drink water you'll die. Is that what you want?" And she gives him this look full of so much pain and emptiness and I just started sobbing.
The "No crying" scene at the end of Beasts WRECKS me.
For some reason, I remember being really effected by the scene in Lincoln when Abe and Mary Todd are discussing the death of their son. And then when the bill is passed and TLJ's entire ending. Ugh, so good.
Most of Life of Pi had me in tears, and sometimes I wouldn't know why. Especially the ending, with Richard Parker walking into the jungle.
In Silver Linings Playbook, after Pat knocks his mother down and he's shouting "I'M SORRY! I'M SORRY!" That stuck with me long after the movie ended. Devastatingly real work from Cooper there.
Yes.

I don't ever really cry, but I came super close a bunch of times this year.
If a tear did in fact actually escape from my eyes, it was definitely during the Marion Cotillard's first scene at the whale tank after the accident. Holy shit.
This was a good year.
AMOUR - The slap, and the euthanasia scenes. Holy crap, that was the most I've ever been moved without crying.
THE MASTER - The first processing scene.
CLOUD ATLAS - The series of climaxes of all the stories, ESPECIALLY the one where Somni gives the speech. Then, Frobisher's suicide scene.
LES MISERABLES - Regardless of my being underwhelmed with the movie in general, for some reason, still I Dreamed A Dream, and the very very end.
BEASTS OF THE SOUTHERN WILD - The "no crying" scene takes the absolute cake.
RUST AND BONE - Like, a fifth of the whole goddamn movie.
SKYFALL - M dying.
LIFE OF PI - EVERYTHING. Like, every few scenes, it happened.
PERKS OF BEING A WALLFLOWER - The ending. And the scene where Ezra Miller kisses Charlie.
SILVER LININGS PLAYBOOK - The closeups of Jacki Weaver when they danced.
ZERO DARK THIRTY - Ending.
DUN LET GO!!!!!!!!!!!
