I do find battle-scenes very stirring, and I also if they are well done, find them incredibly moving - much more so than love stories or "buddy" moments.
Heroic last stands are my particular three-hankie thing. Fighting because you know the cause is right, even though you know you're going to die - so, Faramir and co riding to Osgiliath, or the students on the barricades in Les Mis, whatever. *sniff*
