I'll admit I got a tear when Sam picked up Frodo and carried him up the slopes of Mt. Doom.

For me, the scene where the Hobbits are about to bow to Aragorn and he holds up his hand and says "My friends, you bow to no one." and bows to them as does the rest of the humans, was more powerful.

Passion of the Christ and The Green Mile are movies I prefer to watch alone.
Yes I am a Christian but that isn't necessarily the main reason Passion gets me to tear up. For both movies, it's the idea of a person/character so pure that is being taken from us. In Passion, whether you believe in it or not, Christ accepts His fate for the good of mankind, His Father tells Him He will die for the sins of us and He goes through the most excruciating pain someone can go through without having done a thing to deserve it. Even while He is on the cross, He is at peace.
The Green Mile is similar, except this good person is accepting his sentence because he doesn't want to be a part of this cruel world anymore. Imagine that, God gives you a gift (and this is as he puts it) that will benefit many but you don't think its worth being used for them. And the, don't put on the mask because I'm afraid of the dark thing, was kind of corny but it just shows that they were executing a child in a giants body.
