Planes, Trains and Automobiles. The scene near the end where Neal is sitting on the train reminiscing about the events of the last few days and laughing. Then he realises he's been a bit of a douchebag to Del and puts together the pieces and works out the truth behind Del's life. The last shot with Del looking at Neal and his wife and smiling gets me every time.
Groundhog Day. Phil keeps looking after the homeless guy and no matter how much money or food he gives him, he always dies at the end of the day.

Home Alone, when he finally meets the scary old man and realises he's actually a sweet guy who is alienated from his son.

Man, people have some really loose definitions of the comedy genre. Not in the "that movie sucked and wasn't funny" way, but in the "at no point was that movie intended to be a comedy" way.
Anyway, "Click" really caught me off-guard, and I also found myself choking back tears when I saw "Eight Crazy Nights". Adam Sandler can't make a good comedy to save his life anymore, but he definitely knows how to hit me square in the emotions bone.

Home Alone gets me a lot as did Click and Toy Story 3. If you consider it comedy Seeking a Friend for The End of The World is one, and Safety Not Guaranteed makes you feel a lot of things near the end.

Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigalow. That scene where's he's at the dentist office is rather touching.(also, surprising for a happy madison movie ,I am ok with this one.)

The 40 Year Old Virgin. As a young 20 something that had to wait many more years to find love, the ending moved me something fierce. Now I'm pretty much back in that same boat, with a tiny slice more confidence, so I can't watch it anytime soon.

Shaun of the Dead caught me off guard for how serious of a horror film it was towards the end. I was expecting to see some dramatic/sad moments in The Worlds End but I didn't expect to be hit so f***ing hard in the feels.

There's a lot of Judd Apatow movies that fit this description. Funny People is probably the best example of it. That movie is one of the strangest films I ever watched solely for how its structured. Plus, it felt like it was three hours long.

Click was definitely a surprise one. Planes, Trains, and Automobiles, as mentioned above, is a great example.
A big one for me was Jeff, Who Lives At Home. Randomly watched it on Netflix one day and it was quite emotional.

The Lego Movie, I'll spoiler this since it is so new: {Spoiler}{Spoiler} I am not talking about the stuff with Wyldstyle and Emmet, that I expected. It was the stuff with the dad and son. I really wasn't expecting that stuff and had a tear in my eye after that part.

Click is the perfect example of this.
Joe Dirt had a really good story and message as well.

Click went from typical Adam Sandler hijinks (but with a magic remote) to a film that tugs right at your heartstrings.

I'll never forget when I watched Click. A girl that I was talking to at the time told me how she watched it and how it made her cry, her telling me this really surprised me honestly, and I had never known Adam Sandler to have a film that fit that description. I'd say a couple of days after the opening I went to see the film and like others stated in this thread, once it got to the consequences of him abusing the remote, losing his family, his father, etc I definitely teared up with those scenes.
All I could think about at that particular moment was "wow, Adam Sandler you really caught me with this one."

Click, Big Daddy, and Marley and Me. I remember when Marley and Me came out during my first year at working at a movie theatre. Two co-workers and myself were standing near the entrance way waiting for the film to end, it was a sold out showing, and we were waiting so we could get in there and clean it before the next showing. As we're standing outside I notice so many people coming out crying, depressed, and in my mind I am thinking "Well, were they laughing so hard that they were crying?" Then I overheard a young lady say "The dog died" and I knew right then and there I had no intention of seeing the film. This, when Marley and Me came out I saw the previews and said this looks funny and should go see it. So for a family outing we went and saw it but unlike you we didn't get the setup of what happened. So here we are watching it and it was funny. Then they lost the first baby. Ok take took us down a notch. Then more funny stuff happened. Kids came into play. Then yeah the ending happened. Which hit hard as I know what it was like two put down a dog. To this day I still can't watch it again because of that because putting down a dog hits to close to home as I recently did it just months after the movie came out I believe. My step mom watched it and couldn't take the ending for the same reason. My advice is you just lost a long time pet don't watch this movie unless you want a tear jerker.

A pretty good rule of thumb-unless it's a Benji or Lassie film, the dog is probably going to die-I even saw it coming in I Am Legend-still it was a dick move for someone to announce it coming out of the theater

That was supposed to be a comedy? It felt like it... that was just a weird movie. Here we go on a long ride, where the movie jumps all over the place and tries to be a drama, but doesn't really hit it until after a hour in. Just an odd movie. And also the Daisy subplot was really half arsed. Might have helped if they hadn't spent so much time on the visit to the ex girlfriend. Men in Black III is the most recent example I can think of. The guy who could see multiple timelines made for a nice, touching moment.

"It's a Wonderful Life's" turn might not be unexpected, since in the first five minutes you know the lead character at some point is going to try and kill himself, but when things go bad in it you're a long way from Donna Reed's rendition of "Buffalo Gals."
